2020 Cadillac CT4: Hands-free Driving Is Available, V-series Gets 325 HP

We now have the full details on Cadillac’s new entry-level sedan. The 2020 Cadillac CT4 offers multiple engine and trim choices, all using turbocharged four-cylinder engines that send power to the rear wheels. All-wheel drive is optional on every model. The available six-cylinder from the outgoing ATS has been dropped.

“Cadillac is dedicated to building the most exhilarating sport-luxury sedans,” Cadillac chief engineer Rob Kotarak said in a press release. “Every element of the CT4 is designed to bring innovative technologies right to the driver, providing discerning driving dynamics with cutting edge precision.”

The CT4’s aggressive looks are in line with the current trend to lure more buyers into sedans. This is more evident in the V-Series model, which packs more power and features. The CT4 is a bit larger than the ATS it replaces and sits below the CT5.

LED exterior lighting is standard on all CT4s. The Luxury and Premium Luxury trims are dressed in bright exterior accents, while the Sport and V-Series take a darker turn. The grilles, fascias, rocker panels, rear spoilers, and wheels also denote the differences.

Turbos for all

All CT4 models below the CT4-V — Sport, Premium Luxury, Luxury — use a 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged engine producing 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear axle or to all four wheels. Automatic stop/start is standard.

Selectable drive modes include Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice and Track, and the new My Mode, which can also be found in the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. These modes allow you to tweak shift speeds, suspension, steering and brake feel, exhaust sound, and the front/rear torque split in AWD models.

On the inside is a high-definition 8-inch touchscreen, leather-wrapped steering wheel, full-color dual-display information center, rear camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a premium audio system. Interior LED lighting has a “stealth mode” that dims all but the most essential gauges.
