Cadillac CT5 Performance Overview

Cadillac’s CT5 performance record begins with the first-generation 2020–present sedan, covered here across 3 verified tests spanning 2020 to 2021. In this sample, the car is represented entirely by gasoline, turbocharged LSY-powered 350T models making 237 hp, establishing the CT5’s baseline as a rear-drive sport sedan focused more on steady mid-pack acceleration than outright quickness.

The earliest benchmark also remains the quickest in the available data: the 2020 Sport 350T Sedan reached 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, setting the model’s initial pace. A slower run from the same 2020 Sport 350T Sedan came in at 7.1 seconds, illustrating the spread within the small test set, while the 2021 Premium Luxury Sedan recorded a 15.0-second quarter-mile at 93 mph, the quickest quarter-mile result here. Across all three tests, the CT5 averages 6.8 seconds to 60 mph and 15.1 seconds in the quarter-mile at 93 mph.

As it stands today, the current first-generation CT5 is represented by Premium Luxury and Sport 350T trims only, with the best current-generation figure remaining the same 6.6-second 0-60 run from 2020. Based on the available results, the model’s measured performance range remains narrow and consistent.
