The verdict

What's good

  • Compact footprint makes it one of the most tossable rear-drive sedans under $50k
  • Brembo brake upgrade available at a reasonable option cost
  • Surprisingly refined cabin execution for an entry-level performance Cadillac
  • Easier to place on a back road than larger German sport sedans

What's not

  • Rear seat is effectively adult-hostile beyond short trips
  • Highway wind noise is higher than class average for the segment
  • Turbo-four torque delivery feels uninspiring versus six-cylinder rivals
  • Resale lags BMW M240i at similar price points

The engine

2.7L Turbo I4

2.7L Turbo I4

A torque-rich four that behaves more like a small V8 down low, serving up to 380 lb-ft and a flat, muscular pull thanks to clever turbo and valvetrain engineering. In CT4-V form it makes 325 hp with surprisingly little lag.

A clean-sheet GM design first launched in the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, then adapted for Cadillac; it is built at GM's Spring Hill, Tennessee plant.
