2023 Cadillac CT5-V

The CT5-V is Cadillac's sport-tuned mid-size sedan, a step above the regular CT5 and aimed at the BMW M340i and Audi S4. It's quick and eager, with a chassis that feels balanced and confident on a back road. The ride is firm but controlled, so you feel the road more than in a luxury cruiser, but it stays comfortable for daily driving. Inside, you get a well-built cabin with supportive seats and a straightforward layout, though rear legroom is a bit tight for the class. Its 3.0L V6 makes 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, routed through a ten-speed automatic to the rear wheels, and it'll push you back in the seat when you get on it. Expect 21 mpg combined in mixed driving, which is typical for this level of performance, and the V-Sport package adds a track-tuned suspension if you want more edge.
