CT4

The Cadillac CT4 is powered by a choice of turbocharged 4-cylinder engines sending power to either the rear-wheels or all-four wheels via an optional all-wheel drive system. The base engine displaces 2.0 liters and makes 237 horsepower and 258 lb-feet of torque. Power is sent to the wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. Premium Luxury and V-Series models are available with a bigger 2.7L 4-cylinder which makes either 309 horsepower in Premium Luxury trim or 325 horsepower in V trim. Opting for the bigger engine also nets buyers a couple of extra gears as the only transmission choice with the bigger engine is a 10-speed automatic. Cadillac have smartly identified the interior of the CT4 as a point of emphasis and the new car feels quite premium for a car with such a low base price. An 8-inch touchscreen housed in the dashboard is well integrated with the cars various infotainment and technology systems, while a leather-wrapped steering wheel with optional heating not only feels great, but looks great too, with subtle metallic accents and sharp looking, integrated paddle shifters. Soft touchpoints and a general lack of hard plastics also help to heighten the appeal of the new car's interior.
