Used 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing for SaleNationwide

In its third year, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing carries on as a rare beast, a Detroit-bred luxury performance sedan. It has few true rivals; among them is the BMW M5. ## What’s New for the 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing For 2024, Cadillac dresses up the CT5-V Blackwing luxury performance car with a unique grille header and welcome animation on the central display to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the brand’s V-Series performance line. General Motors’ Super Cruise limited hands-free driving system is now available on automatic transmission models. Finally, the CT5-V Blackwing is available with new extra-cost exterior colors: Velocity Red, Cyber Yellow Metallic, Coastal Blue Metallic, and Black Diamond Tricoat. ## Design The base CT5 midsize sedan features sophisticated styling that borders on sedate, but there’s nothing bashful about the Blackwing. If its bright colors and 19-inch gray wheels don’t impress—not to mention the Brembo performance brakes shining from behind the spokes—there are a number of upgrades, from extra-cost paint to carbon fiber rocker moldings and lower splitters. Accent packages are available in red or bronze, which can be coordinated with special badging packages. ## Powertrain The CT5-V Blackwing maintains faith in the potency of the traditional V8 engine. This supercharged 6.2-liter powerplant is rated for 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque, driving the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual or optional 10-speed automatic transmission. Cadillac cites a zero-to-60-mph time of 3.4 seconds with the automatic. A Magnetic Ride Control automatic adaptive suspension system comes standard, along with a launch control system and a limited-slip rear differential. ## Interior The CT5-V Blackwing comes standard with black leather upholstery and heated and ventilated front seats with a massage function. Other features include proximity keyless entry, keyless start, ambient lighting, and a heated steering wheel. Consider upgrades like sport front bucket seats and premium leather upholstery to truly give the Blackwing a look and feel worthy of its pedigree. ## Technology The 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing greets the driver with a unique animation on the display to commemorate the V-Series’ 20th anniversary. Standard features include a 12-inch digital gauge cluster and the Cadillac User Experience (CUE) infotainment system housed in the 10-inch touchscreen display, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a 16-speaker AKG audio system. ## Safety The 2024 Cadillac CT5 earns a five-star overall rating in crash tests with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but the CT5-V Blackwing isn’t tested separately. The Cadillac CT5 and its variants haven’t been evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as of this writing. Standard safety features include a surround-view camera system, an HD reversing camera, a following-distance indicator, forward-collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warnings, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, front pedestrian braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking assist. GM’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous limited hands-free driving system is newly available for 2024. ## Pricing The 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is on sale now. As of this writing, Cadillac lists pricing starting at $94,890 for the version with the six-speed manual transmission, while models with the 10-speed automatic transmission start at $98,065.
