Cadillac
is shedding more light into the new CT4’s range as the new compact sedan is
getting ready to hit the market. The
new Cadillac CT4 will be available in Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport and
V-Series trims. Each one will be visually distinct, in addition to the
traditional variations in standard equipment and powertrain choices.
The
base CT4 Luxury will be available only in the turbocharged 2.0-liter
four-cylinder engine, which produces 237 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque. It is paired
to an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive is standard, with
AWD offered as an option.
Luxury
models ride on 17-inch alloy wheels and come fitted with plenty of kit from the
get-go, including keyless entry and push-button start, an eight-inch
infotainment with HD Radio, SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone
automatic air-conditioning, leatherette upholstery and a premium audio system
with active noise cancellation.
Moving
on to the Premium Luxury trim, you get 18-inch alloys and bright-accented door
handles and can also opt for the 2.7-liter turbo unit with a 10-speed automatic
transmission. The engine is rated at 309 HP and 348 lb-ft of torque and
all-wheel drive is again optional.
Premium
Luxury models come with leather upholstery, aluminum trim on the center
console, ambient lighting, and a suite of active safety systems that includes
Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking,
Safety Seat Alert, Rear Park Assist and more. Sport
models are visually distinguished by their dark-mesh front grille, dark window
moldings, 18-inch Performance-themed alloy wheels, a body-colored rear spoiler
and Brembo brakes.
Step
inside the Cadillac CT4 Sport and you’ll find more aggressive-bolstered seats
with additional adjustments, leatherette upholstery, a steering wheel with a
thicker rim, magnesium paddle shifters and alloy pedals.
The
range-topping trim for the 2020 Cadillac CT4 is the V-Series; this is the only model available with the high-output version of the
2.7-liter turbo engine that puts out 325 HP and 380 lb-ft of torque. The CT4 V-Series also gets a Carbon Flash
dark surround for the front grille, quad trapezoid exhaust tips, a mechanical
limited-slip differential and Cadillac’s Gen4 Magnetic Ride Control (on RWD
models only).
The
interior of the CT4 V-Series gets a Bose premium surround sound system, a
special ‘V-mode’ button on the steering, a Track mode and wireless charging. All
2020 Cadillac CT4s will be optionally available with the company’s SuperCruise
driving assist feature, which enables drivers to take their hands off the wheel
on a range of occasions. Cadillac will open the order books for the 2020 CT4
later this year.
