  • What is MSRP?

    MSRP stands for Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, sometimes also known as the sticker price. Because this price is only a suggestion, a dealer can choose to sell a vehicle above—or, more often, below—MSRP.

  • What is Market Average?

    Based on actual recent transactions other buyers have made, the Market Average shows you the average price others paid for vehicles similar to the one you want, while taking into account that most of these vehicles have different option combinations from the ones you specified.

  • Statewide, Regional, and National Data

    If there are insufficient transactions in your area, we calculate your Market Average by gathering statewide, regional, or national data. Because this data can come from a large geographical area it may not be as representative of your local market.

2021 Cadillac CT4 Model Description

What's New The V-Series engine gets a small bump in power; Optional 12-inch digital gauge cluster; All-new Diamond Sky Edition adds sleek style; Semi-autonomous driving is now available

The Cadillac CT4 is a handsome and capable sports sedan that leans more towards comfort than speed. Handling is agile and secure, providing the driver with engaging dynamics on twisty back roads and windy canyons. It's not as quick as European competitors, and it works best as a luxury cruiser. The CT4's ride is smooth and polished, and the interior remains quiet at speed. Traffic is no longer an issue with the optional Super Cruise system, and GM's infotainment system is one of the easiest to operate. The CT4 falls short in rear-seat space and in-cabin storage, two areas that impact its practicality as a family vehicle. But for those shoppers who don't mind sacrificing some roominess for an elegant daily driver, the Cadillac CT4 is undoubtedly worth a look.

Cadillac gives shoppers four trim choices for their CT4: Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, and V-Series. The Luxury trim starts at around $33,500. That's competitive for a premium compact sedan, as is the CT4's list of standard features. Safety technology like automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and parking sensors and standard, and shoppers can add things like lane-departure warning and blind-spot monitors for an extra cost. The exterior comes outfitted with LED lights, power heated mirrors, and alloy wheels. Cabin passengers get leatherette upholstery and automatic power windows. Those sitting in the front get power-adjustable seats, while the back row split-folds for additional cargo space. Keyless entry, keyless ignition, remote engine start, and dual-zone climate control are standard. The CT4's sportiness shows in the contoured seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel. As for tech features, buyers get an 8-inch touchscreen running Cadillac's infotainment software, plus a WiFi hotspot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, voice commands, and an 8-speaker audio system. The Premium Luxury trim is the most comfort-oriented trim level, priced from about $38,000. It adds automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, power-folding outside mirrors, larger wheels, leather upholstery, driver's seat memory, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and ambient interior lighting. Those wanting the more powerful V-Series' style and appeal without the added cost can select the Sport trim at around $39,000. Its exterior and cabin come with race-inspired design cues, paddle shifters, and 18-way power front seats. For around $45,000, the V-Series comes with a more powerful engine, a sport-tuned suspension and transmission, a limited-slip differential, summer-performance tires, wireless smartphone charging, and a 14-speaker Bose premium surround-sound system. Cadillac offers a few options for the CT4. Buyers can swap out the standard rear-wheel drive for an all-wheel system for better wet-weather traction. Available tech options include a head-up display, navigation, a 12-inch digital driver display, and an automatic heated steering wheel. Those who commute often will appreciate the Driver Assist and Super Cruise packages.

Most CT4s on the road are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. It provides strong fuel efficiency at an EPA-estimated 23/34 mpg city/highway, but it isn't as quick or exciting to drive as other sports sedans. An eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are included. Stepping up to the V-Series adds a 2.7-liter four-cylinder turbo producing 325 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. This engine transforms the CT4's driving performance from that of an average luxury car to something more. Acceleration is rapid, and the V-Series has no issue passing slower cars, but it's still not as fleet-footed as German rivals. The V-Series also gets suspension and chassis upgrades for sharper cornering, plus its own 10-speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel estimates dip to 20/29 mpg city/highway.

Step inside the CT4's cabin, and you are greeted by one of the most modern layouts offered in a GM car. The dashboard features elaborate angles for an exciting appeal, with handsome climate control buttons and a metal-ringed starter button. The steering wheel is pleasantly thick for excellent control during hard driving, and many of the car's infotainment features can be accessed without your hands ever leaving the wheel. Cadillac's infotainment system is straightforward and easy to use, residing on an 8-inch touch display. Small knobs below turn the screen on and off and operate the audio volume. Those are helpful when you need to turn down the music quickly. A 12-inch driver cluster is optional, with digital gauges, several driving views, and turn-by-turn navigation instructions. You can also change songs without having to use the infotainment screen. The interior is pleasant and user-friendly, but some of the materials used on the dashboard buttons and elsewhere lack a premium feel. There are some plastics used throughout that feel as though they came out of a less-expensive GM product. In-cabin storage is lacking as well. There are shallow trays in the center console, plus bins in the doors and the glove box, but there aren't extra storage cubbies like in some compact sedans. The front seating area is spacious enough to comfortably seat adults, but the back seats are tight. With just 33.4 inches of legroom in the back, those seats are best for shorter passengers. Cargo space is a bit low, at 10.7 cubic feet. It should still be enough room to fit most owners' needs, and the rear seats fold down for those times that call for extra capacity.

Great looking and fantastic driving car.

I would prefer slightly more room for the rear passengers, and if the mirrors tucked in by power instead of having to adjust them manually when I’m parked on a tight street.

The Starting Market Average is a proprietary mathematical calculation based on actual recent transactions. It provides a statistically accurate understanding of what other buyers are paying for the least expensive configuration of this vehicle. Adjustments to the calculation beyond make, model, and trim are normalized based on detailed, anonymized transaction information. This accounts for the fact that most or all recently-sold vehicles included different option combinations. The data underlying the Starting Market Average calculation are filtered for extreme outliers and subjected to a weighted averaging process that considers factors such as the recency of transactions and the timing of data lags. In certain instances, the calculated result is adjusted to take account of abrupt changes in the market that may not yet be fully reflected by recent transaction prices. In all cases where the Starting Market Average is shown there is sufficient sample size and transaction detail to be statistically reliable.
