Overview
The 2022 Cadillac CT4 sedan serves as the entry point to the Cadillac brand, offering a taste of playfulness and sharp handling that rivals European compact sedans. With two engine options and a range of trim levels, the CT4 provides a compelling alternative to competitors like the BMW 2-series Gran Coupe and Mercedes-Benz A-class.
Price
The 2022 Cadillac CT4 starts at $35,090 and reaches $47,290, depending on trim and options. We recommend the mid-range Premium Luxury trim, which offers genuine leather upholstery, 18-inch wheels, and the option to add the Bose premium audio system.
Engine
The CT4 offers two turbocharged four-cylinder engines: a 237-hp 2.0-liter and a 2.7-liter producing up to 325-hp in the V-Series trim. The smaller engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic, while the larger engine gets a 10-speed automatic.
Dimensions
The CT4’s interior space is tight, particularly in the rear seats, but offers standard luxury features like 12-way power-adjustable front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. Upgraded trims add leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, and memory settings.
Performance and Fuel Economy
The CT4 handles sharply, with the CT4-V model delivering athletic and quick performance. Even with the sportiest suspension, the ride remains comfortable, handling potholes without punishing occupants. The CT4’s engines provide decent fuel economy, with the 2.0-liter rated up to 23 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. The 2.7-liter engine is less efficient but still competitive, with 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined.
The 2022 Cadillac CT4 is a solid entry-point to the Cadillac brand, offering sharp handling, handsome design, and decent fuel economy. While its interior materials and ambiance don’t quite match luxury-branded competitors, the CT4 remains a compelling choice in the compact sedan market. With its range of trim levels and engine options, the CT4 is worth considering for those seeking a fun-to-drive and feature-packed luxury sedan.
