With the carbon fiber 18-way power adjustment seat so the luxury is already there you’re getting that magnetic rod control so the suspension is already tuned and ready with rivals like your bmw m3 your audi rs5 your mercedes amg c43 but the styling that you’re you need more enhancement the ct5 you’re going to
Get 668 horsepower i mean these vehicles are a no-brainer with the performance numbers and cues all blended in signature led daytime runnings led headlamps and i like how they brush into the lower fenders the ground effect kit is for the spoiler and everything pushes into the v-series grille with the cadillac badging that
Just comes out a touch more and you have the performance hood that shells over into the fenders encasing these 18-inch aluminum alloys with the satin graphic finish adaptive suspension you’re getting the magnetic ride control 5446 weight distribution a signature v-series mesh grille design directs air into the main
Radiators the cooler and the air flow ducts the front splitter and rear spoiler combined to reduce lift and generate traction the side rockers blacked out the v badging with the air vent right in front of it the large spoiler the aggressive conclusion with a quad exhaust outlets the diffuser it adds more athletic
Styling when you compare a cadillac to any of the models that i’ve talked about you’re going to know what it is because of the signature touches that they do behind those 18 inch wheels you got brembo brakes with the gray calipers six pistons in the front four pistons in the rear the black wing features fogged aluminum alloy
Wheels with laser edging design a linked at 187.2 inches a wheelbase at 107.3 inches magnetic ride control it reads the roads 1 000 times per second seamlessly adjusting the dampers for a comfortable inspiring ride and handling a mcpherson scrub front suspension five link rear suspension your handling on this is going
To be a lot better than your standard ct4 plus you’re still getting the luxury of a cadillac shark fin antenna led tail lamps the spoiler is it you gotta really stress the black wing and the lower bit keeps it more aggressive and that’s exactly what i’m looking for when i get into a v series black wing going inside
The cargo at 10.7 cubic feet you’re gonna have a storage tray on the right side we have some storage underneath the floor the rear bench split folds out a 60 40 split rivals but this is a twin turbo v6 so it’s going to stand out just a touch that’s why we’re going wing back in the performance with a 3.6 liter
Twin turbo v6 producing 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque that’s paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission achieving 16 to 24 mpgs with the 0-60 around 3.9 to 4 seconds quarter mile at 12.4 seconds which is going to be faster than the mercedes-amg c43 against the audi rs5 that’s going to be about 0.1 to 0.2
Seconds faster the bmw m3 about 0.4 to 0.5 seconds faster a top speed in this 189 miles per hour the styling the luxury that you’re about to see and the performance to back it i mean it’s the best of both worlds and you get a bang for your buck when you’re comparing it to the rivals let me know in the comments what
You think about the 2022 cadillac ct4 v-series black wing as we go into the interior go over the tech and take this for our test run entering inside the cadillac ct4v series black wing it’s a sentence but it’s proper and it’s exactly what inches of leg room leather bucket front seats 18 way power adjustments these
Are heated seats you get the manual cushion extensions which pretty much gives you 20 weight adjustments for both the passenger and the driver the door panel flows into the dashboard you’re going to get the matte black for the air vents and even here on the center above that the eight inch diagonal touch screen
Contrast stitching goes all the way over the going to go into the driver’s side for the air vent upgraded akg 14 speakers dual climate control settings eight inch hd diagonal touch screen with navigation so we have the pinch we got the swipe click home apple carplay is wireless android auto this is going to be your
Three widgets so you got your navigation your sound your bluetooth connectivity wi-fi hotspot amazon alexa spotify siriusxm click it to your climate control you can so i do like that you have that functionality underneath it you got your wireless charging pad put into reverse you got full trajectory just a
Reverse camera i do wish this was a 360 camera and it shows reversing on your gauge cluster the way the design is with the carbon fiber right by your cup holders i wish they added a little bit more though because it would make it a little bit more sporty for 16.9 ounce fits without any issues you have your driving
Mode select you can put your cell phone right here in this cubby open up inside run the wires through your usb or your 12 volt and you still got some storage what i like about cadillac is they clean up all the wires leather wrapped steering wheel three spoke heated multi function the nice thing about it is we got the
V button right here you push it and you’re ready to gauge cluster can go through an array of information for the driver so i do like the fact that everything is very user friendly as well so you get your performance your driver assist your audio your navi your phone and your maintenance plus you can change
The themes to make it sport for the door panel harder materials on the top you get the contrast stitching memory for the driver perforated more contrast stitching it’s a bit firm where you put your elbows one touch up black the storage pocket has a little area or cubby here for your umbrella since this fits in in
The category of your bmw m3 your audi rs5 your mercedes amg c43 it’s going to be a little bit smaller in the back but let’s see how i look back there for the back seats i’m at 36.5 inches of headroom 33.4 inches of legroom one thing that i will say is it is a tight fit if you’re six foot three especially for me like if
I move forward headliner in which it makes it tough for me to you almost feel claustrophobic is basically the best way i could say cup holders are kind of in my way too so i’m sitting inward and i can’t really rest if i have my cup here so i’d have to put it here 20 ounce will be max and then you wouldn’t
Be able to fit one on that side you got air vents you have a 12 volt you have storage beyond both of the front seats the floor is not completely flat i would say if there was three of me to fit it would be super tight for the door panel harder either perforated the contrast stitching more sport derived and firm for
Your elbows and you get the gloss black around there no storage in the door panel but we’re gonna see how well i fit by myself and show you the dimensions in the center sitting into the center is exactly what i was saying on the sides the headliner there’s no way i could sit back and if i did i’d have to sit like
This and then legs would be no way sitting the way i would have to sit i’m sharing a significant amount of feet but shoulder space and then the head room is not really doable for someone like me i would say maybe five foot five maybe 140 150 max because it’s going to be tight to fit in the center you have to remember this
Is the ct4 v-series black wing the ct5 will have a little bit more space in the back and that’s pretty much what it’s derived for so this is more for a smaller family and you still got the sedan feel with the performance taking the 2022 cadillac ct-4 v-series black wing out for our test run this vehicle 3.6
Liter twin turbo v6 0 to 60’s around 4 seconds 3.94 seconds a 10th of a second here and there’s not going to really kill you getting with the luxury and the performance blend it is a steal when you’re looking at a bmw m3 or an audi rs5 or a mercedes amg c43 because those vehicles are going to be so much more money
And yet you’re packing nearly the same performance different in some categories it might beat it now do you keep the same feel as a cadillac yes i would say so so that means it’s going to be and reads the road a thousand times per figures 445 pound-feet of torque at any given time this is a unique vehicle
I’m happy to see that you have this much performance in a v6 because them so if you’re really looking to get something that’s going to be kind of special i mean the ct5v series blackwing will do that as well we’re going to be nice let these people go in front of us because we have the performance we that
Backs it 18 way power adjustment seats in the bins you’re not going to get it it’s aggressive it sounds like a v8 i mean the rumble that you get obviously you have to change the modes to get that sound but dang it is good for the dynamics it stays pretty planted on the road as well i’m gonna stop here in the middle
As you get up to the speeds of the interstate or whatever speed you want to go it’s just a good setup now there is three things i like the three things that i dislike is anything more than that then i’d be buying this v-series black wing the three things that i like is the style that you get on the exterior they
Really did go all out and what i mean by that is the front splitter the rear exit the side rockers excellent job there is a disadvantage i’ll get like about the vehicle is they kept the ct4 is just blown out crazy so i do like that they give you a good blend of two there’s a disadvantage to that as well the last
Thing that i like about the vehicle zero to sixty numbers are with vehicles that cost ten twenty thirty thousand dollars more that is crazy before we get to the three things that i dislike i want to just do another little test of what this vehicle really is made of now with the splitters it is a bit low to the ground
But that’s all right because we’re going to stop here in the middle it’s so fast you’re going to go to three things that i dislike about this ct4 v-series black wing starts off obviously in the back seats you got the styling of a ct form that’s great when you option the moon roof you in the door panel it makes it
Really tight if you’re going to have kids or anybody in the car to enjoy the performance and the luxury out of it styling that way it looks good on certain directions but all the time it’s going to get a little old i wish it was a little smaller the last thing that i dislike goes back into the interior it
Doesn’t make me feel like i’m in a v series v black wing it just makes me feel like i’m in a regular ct4 when i’m at this price point i want to feel a little bit more they’ve added just a touch of carbon fiber maybe put some carbon fiber on the sides of your infotainment screen throw it on the dash throw it around your
Air vents throw it around somewhere put it on the door panels instead of putting the gloss you can do a lot of things to make me feel that this vehicle i like it i do like it a lot put we’re going to change the v mode so we get i mean listen to this baby listen to how she roars ready it’s a lovely exhaust note it’s one
Of the best exhaust notes in the comparison too i like the bmw actually the best blend and i always say to my reviews that’s the best thing for your buck but now they’re in the hundred thousand dollar the mercedes amg c43 i’m a fan of it but you’re not going to get that same exhaust like you get for a daily
Use obviously you’re not going change it into a regular mode take the v off offer that because it makes it a little bit more sport turn radius after this stop sign so we’re now it’s not just performance so safety we have the frontal collision with pedestrian lane keep assist blind spot monitoring rear cross
Traffic we have the adaptive cruise control because we have the driver assist package which i would definitely option that on an everyday drive mode it’s not going to be as athletic so it’s going to show you a little bit more of the lag instead of the performance but i mean liven it and the same thing you can lower that
Liveliness as well so i do like the fact that it’s right there at your hands link they make everything very user friendly and do a great job especially when we’re comparing it to the rivals because of the savings the luxury and the performance you’re getting is definitely something to entertain i’d like to thank
