I really liked both of these when I was shopping for a new car recently. Great looks, good power l, and honestly incredible handling from each. I think the ct4v is too small to be useful in my life. The ct5v was the sweet spot. I also appreciate the awd and mag ride option. If only the 5 came in a sport back or even better a wagon.

Why I love watching your videos? You’re right to the point. No side talk or distractions from the main idea. No talking about yourself. I love your reviews. Keep up the good work 👏

But slow down. Trying to follow stats is insane when this dudes bleeds words together purely to crank through everything

The CT5 V is a 360hp and 405 torque

CT5-V is 360 HP not 335!

Love Cadillac, thanks for the comparison!

Hey @BenHardyCars between the CT5-V and TLX type S which one you would buy ?

0:32 Thanks for the correction ben. Still pretty fast though. Amazing comparison!

More GM cars. Thank you Ben. Cadillacs at that. There was not much difference between the cars other interior room and price. The trunks I think are small for both. It is interesting Cadillac builds performance cars like this and are highly competitive as well. These are the kinds of cars the car magazines wanted Cadillac to build years ago. They have. Heads up display and digital gauges as well. It is shame the coupe market dried up. Thank you for the review Ben.

Yes I love coupes! I think crossovers are hideous and much to bulky. If I want a roomy car for trips I’ll buy an actual suv.

Excellent stuff bro

The 5 doesn’t have 2 more liters than the 4. It has 2 more cylinders and .3 of a liter more displacement.

Ben, partner, always I´ve admired this brand, because they´re authentic cars, since they produced the Cadillac Seville in the 90´s.

I’ve been waiting for a comparison video like this. Thanks! The lease is up in a couple months and I want to go back to a sport sedan. Not sure if I can swing the CT5 V price, unfortunately. I’d like to know thoughts on a CT5 sport; get the size but less power than both of these. I think my decision is coming down to a CT5 sport, CT4 V or a used 3.0 AWD MKZ. Thanks for the video!

I thought the backseat of the 5 was cramped till you showed the 4. I guessed five grand difference.

I far prefer the rear end on the CT5-V. But both are super cool. Nice job! Thanks! Regarding the price difference, do they both have all the packages so that you are comparing apples to apples?

Like the front of the 5 more but the rear of the 4 more; a bit more modern and classy to me with the sloped sides and smaller badge

4.5 seconds on the ct4 V

you accidentally said 325mm tires on the CT4 and i think you meant 235s

It makes sense that they don't share any outside body parts. Cuz if it did, it would devalue the ct5. The ct5 is supposed to be an upgrade to the ct4 so it has to be different and not share Any parts to maintains its "up-gradedness"

My only complaint is and this is with most of these Guys that do theses reviews why do they get this wrong with the Hp and I blame GM for this because if they had given the CT5 -V more Hp everybody would really know what the Hp is right off the bat , but the V has 360 Hp

@tintocherian7715

Жыл бұрын

Yes I feel like the CT5 V should have been closer to 400 HP...385 or 390 would have been perfect...GM's reason for capping at 360 was that apparently people were intimidated by the old CTS V Sport's 420 HP for a daily driver so they wanted to make this new iteration seem more practical

yeah, you're right to the point, but your points are incorrect- mistaking displacement, power output, tire size, etc. use note cards while your speak, if needed. also, your test drives leave a lot wanting, even on public roads. otherwise, you cover a good diversity of vehicles.

Bought a CT4V and while the performance is fantastic, I really wish I got the TLX Type S. Test drove one recently and the Cadillac really doesn't compare in terms of quality/refinement/comfort. Also, you can change the digital cluster. There are three different displays.

It's the torque curve that makes the CT-5 punchier than the CT-4. The 4 cylinder's turbo has to spool up more to get similar levels if torque. But the CT-4 is lighter so that helps its performance numbers.

@EliteOnTheBeat

There's a 0.1 difference in 0 to 60 times Between these 2. So if If CT5 had a full tank of gas and the CT4 Had low fuel the times would probably be almost exactly the same. Also the ct4V is a V6 with twin turbo's NOT a V4 like you mentioned.

If you really want the 4’s sleeker profile and chassis dynamics but the 5v engine, take a look at the 4v blackwing. It’s super gnarly however I must admit that you can’t really use the rear seats because the upgraded bucket seats are so thick. I just folded them down for more exhaust noise and burbles

I would love to know what your method for measuring performance per dollar is here. This ain’t Dodge where they need to throw a 707 horsepower supercharged engine in everything they want to *go fast.* Cadillac’s _V-series_ division works to achieve performance in all aspects of the word and it’s why you hear Ben comment on he impressive dynamics, handling & comfort of these two Cadillac PERFORMANCE cars. Considering the CT5-V is superior than the G70 3.3T, TLX Type S, and the Lexus ISF as well as the CT4-V being superior to the BMW 228i which it was designed to compete against - I’m having a hard time making any logical sense out of your statement. You’re also getting more than just performance when you buy either of these Cadillacs.

GM continues to water down the V. Such anemic power plants should not wear the V badge. Shame.

As somebody who is a die-hard Caddie fan, this video is completely pointless no offense. The only thing to compare here is maybe the inside of the cabin the ct4 is obviously the ATS successor so the inside is very compact it's basically a Corvette with two seats in the back for children. In fact uses corvette/camaro parts, same with the CT5 . Other than that both these cars are almost identical in performance and both are rated 200+ MPH and the 0 to 60 miles an hour are almost identical as well. CT5V is 3.4 and CT4V 3.5 despite the 3.7 and 3.8 times you see all over google. Now if you were comparing a V to a black wing that would be a completely different story.
