Cadillac CT4 Performance Overview

Cadillac’s CT4 entered production in 2020 to 2023 as the brand’s compact rear-drive-based sport sedan, and across 4 verified tests spanning 2020 to 2023, its measured performance centers on turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder power. The first-generation CT4 uses the LSY and L3B engines, with output ranging from 237 to 309 hp, and the earliest benchmark also remains the quickest: the 2020 Premium Luxury 450T reached 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 13.4 seconds at 103 mph.

From there, the data shows the CT4 settling into a narrower performance band rather than expanding into multiple powertrain types. Tested Premium Luxury 450T examples stayed near the top of the range, while the lower-output Premium Luxury 350T established the slower end of the spread. By 2023, a Premium Luxury 350T posted 5.8 seconds to 60 mph, defining the current low mark in the sample, while the four-test average stands at 5.15 seconds to 60 mph and 13.73 seconds at 100.1 mph in the quarter-mile.

Today, the current first-generation CT4 remains represented by gasoline, turbocharged 350T and 450T trims, with the best current-generation result still the 4.7-second run from the 2020 Premium Luxury 450T.
