What are the differences between the Cadillac CT4 and CT5?

[LandonDella]

CT5 adopts a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and features standard C-segment dimensions (4924*1883*1453mm, wheelbase 2947mm), making it slightly larger than the CT4. The CT4 is positioned as a lower-tier model. Although it shares the same 2.0T engine as the CT5, its transmission is 'downgraded' from a 10AT to an 8AT, coupled with a length of 4756mm and a wheelbase of 2775mm (CT4-V). Below are detailed comparisons between the two: 1. CT5 is larger: The CT5 can be considered a competitor to the 34C (referring to BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class), with pricing similar to the main models of the 34C and a noticeably larger size, aligning well with Cadillac's competitive strategy. 2. CT5 is positioned higher: Additionally, to boost sales volume, Cadillac has consistently emphasized in its marketing that the CT5's direct competitors are the 34C, reinforcing this perception. In reality, from a cost-performance perspective, the previous ATS-L could only compete with the 13A (entry-level models of the 34C), and the CT4 is likely to follow a similar path in the future.
