Cadillac CT5 2020 - stylish and practical "American"

As part of the New York Auto Show in April 2019, Cadillac presented the next generation of the premium CT5 sedan. Already in the fall, the novelty became available to American buyers, which led to a rapid increase in its popularity. An improved Alpha platform with a classic chassis was used as the basis for the car.

Appearance

The 2020 Cadillac CT5 is a luxury business class sedan (classified by the automaker as a fastback) that combines expressive design, roomy interior and advanced equipment. It is aimed at wealthy people who value comfort and elegance.

A full-scale presentation of the “four-door” took place on April 16, 2019 during the international auto show in New York. But a month before this event, the automaker held a virtual show of new items without mentioning the exact specifications.

Cadillac employees consider the 2020 CT5 an alternative to the CTS, XTS and ATS, calling it "compact". But even by American standards, the car belongs to the mid-size class, and its competitors are the Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz E-class and BMW 5 Series.

The exterior of the model repeats the corporate style of previous generations, but looks even more elegant.

The massive "three-volume" looks sophisticated, harmonious and "thoroughbred", and from any angle. It emphasizes the high taste of its owner and self-confidence. The front part has a formidable design, which is confirmed by aggressive headlights with a complex design and vertical LED-equipment of running lights.

The lighting elements continue into the embossed bumper with large air intakes and surround the finely textured grille.

With a profile view, the sedan resembles a liftback, because it has a sloping roofline that smoothly turns into a small "tail" of the trunk.

An additional monumentality and elegance to the body design is given by a long hood, voluminous sidewalls and large cutouts of the wheel arches. Chrome inserts along the glazing line also look no less stylish.

The model is equipped with 18- or 19-inch rims with tire dimensions 245/45 R18 or 245/40 R19.

Another interesting accent is the shield-shaped radiator grille mounted on the aggressive bumper.

Cadillac CT5 2020 interior

The interior of the CT5 2020 is designed with cutting-edge trends in style and practicality in mind. The interior of the premium sedan retains the nobility of the American automaker, combining beauty, luxury and functionality.

Ergonomic plastic, elegant leather, as well as wood and aluminum inserts are used as finishing materials. All elements stand out for their high build quality and harmoniously combine with each other.

At the disposal of the owner of the car is a 3-spoke steering wheel with an aesthetic design and a wide range of function buttons. The dashboard has an intuitive interface, combining several large dials that are reserved for the tachometer and speedometer. The gauges are separated by a digital on-board computer monitor.

The premium-finished center console features a 10-inch multimedia touchscreen. Under it, there are ventilation deflectors and slender rows of buttons that are responsible for climate system settings and other functions.

The rear sofa has a comfortable surface and provides comfort for 3 adult passengers, regardless of their height. The design meets all the requirements of ergonomics and is not deprived of important options.

People in the back get a good supply of legroom, but due to the slope of the C-pillars, the distance between the roof and the head has been reduced. In addition, the rear row cushion is profiled for 2 seats.
