The compact sports sedan is alive and well, courtesy of cars like this Cadillac CT4. It’s light, nimble, and balanced. Cadillac tuned the CT4, even in its base trim, to provide a responsive front-end and playful nature while dancing through a few corners. That pairs nicely with fantastic cabin isolation from the outside world and creature comforts like standard wireless smartphone charger.
In this video, I take you through the car, show you what features are offered and how they work. And then I take you on a drive to get a sense of how well it handles, the quality of the ride, and the overall experience.

That's my dream car. Compared to Benz or BMW I prefer the Cadillac ct4 at the same price.
Such a sharp car!
Great review. Hope to add this in Blackwing MT spec to my garage some day.
Thank you so much! And, yeah, the Blackwing is strong.
Beautiful really.
Amazing. Not long ago this vehicle would be classed as a midsized vehicle. Showing my age.
Yeah, all cars are growing. Take a look at Honda Accords from the 80s verses now. Or the VW Golf/Rabbit. They are huge compared to the first and second generations.
@@viewsonvehicles yeah, the Civics today are about the size of the Accords back then 🎉
What is/does the Smart Card Reader?
For the navigation system probably.
I bought one in China in Nov 2020, 2.0L premium model, with about 220,000 RMB (around 31,000 USD). I'd like to say with this price I had much more better choices in the Chinese market.
Does the base ct4 have the ambient lighting in the doors
Not sure, to be honest.
My CT4 Luxury trim has a light shining down from the side mirrors.
To any GM Cadillac designers who might be reading the comments. As a potential sedan customer I can say that the CT4/5 styling is right up my ally. I'm more than willing to pay for the premium luxury. What I'm not interested in is all the technology. I'm not driving places I don't know. I want to be the driver. That smart driving technology is no value to me. Much of the technology package is total waste. However, the Bose stereo tied to the technology package is a must have. Performance is also not that much of an interest. It needs to be ok. A 3.7 natural 4 cylinder with 250 hp is just fine. Ride quality is more important. High performance just makes insurance premiums higher. The word turbo and 10 speed transmission scares the shit out of me with perceived repair bills down the line. Quality and repairability is much more attractive. It also helps with the residual value. If you want 50k from me you are gonna have to make the car I want to own.
So you’re really a crossover customer not a sport sedan customer, so why are you even considering buying this or commenting?
@@OtisRobinson-np3id If I wanted to drive a station wagon then I would buy one. I want a quality sedan like say the Cadillac they use to make. Not this over mechanical and technical crap they are pushing out these days. I'm commenting so that perhaps people will know there are other buyers other than these car reviewers that seem to be more influential in design direction then actual customers.
Guess you wont be driving anything. Wake up
When Cadillac can go head to head with Lexus. Ill buy one. 😢
Cadillacs are more advanced. It’s a matter of choice but Lexus doesn’t even offer automated driving.
Sounds like a lawnmower. I don’t care whatever they do with four-cylinder engine. I’ve had cars that have amazing small engines like in my Cooper S Countryman they don’t sound busy at all. This sounds buzzy. Actually, God’s truth my 2017 Abarth Fiat 500 sounded better than this. This sounds like it could fly apart. I also on a 2018 ATS Premium Performance coupe with the 3.6L redesign and it sounds sublime. Kudos to Cadillac for squeezing more power out of a tiny engine, but by the same token, they haven’y improved the sound of it any. And a fixed roof really seems down market in this price class. I like the styling of the front, but the back looks like the same thing 20 years ago that all the car people criticized Chris Bangle for on the back of the series 7 BMW. Also, I want to add that the sales manager at the dealership I bought my 2018 at says that sales for the CT for our lackluster at best and nobody likes the car. For a sales person to admit, that is some thing. I think this would’ve been far more compelling as a coupe. European makers offer many cups to choose from… but GM is killing theirs off. Even the Camaro is being discontinued. Not all of us have a family we don’t want four doors and I already have an SUV, so why can’t I have a coupe? I guess I’m gonna be stuck keeping my ATS or looking across the pond.
Thanks Otis your input is always appreciated
I love the GM 3.6 !
Is there a vehicle currently out there worth the money you have to pay for it… I say heck no.
The interior quality, or lack-their-of, is unacceptable in my view.
I have one. Interior quality is great
