Automotive Research, ASE Master Technicians & Fact-Checking
The 2022 Cadillac CT5 used a standard 237-hp 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbo four-cylinder and an available 335-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, both paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive was standard and all-wheel drive was available. Cadillac's official brochure separates the standard Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport trims from CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing.

2022 CT5 engine choices
Cadillac lists the 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbo as the standard engine with 237 hp and 258 lb-ft. The available 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 produces 335 hp and 405 lb-ft. The old AutoZonic page's 3.6-liter V6 and 355-hp standard-CT5 claims were removed.
10-speed automatic and rear-drive architecture
Cadillac documents a 10-speed automatic with Electronic Precision Shift. The CT5 is rear-wheel drive in base form, with all-wheel drive available. The legacy page's repeated front-wheel-drive and 8/9-speed statements were incorrect.
2022 CT5 fuel economy
| Engine / drive | City | Highway |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0T RWD | 23 mpg | 33 mpg |
| 2.0T AWD | 22 mpg | 30 mpg |
| 3.0TT RWD | 19 mpg | 27 mpg |
| 3.0TT AWD | 18 mpg | 26 mpg |
Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport
The standard CT5 brochure covers three trims: Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport. Cadillac directs buyers to separate V-Series material for CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing. AutoZonic now follows that same entity split instead of blending all four performance levels into one table.
Technology and driver assistance
Cadillac's 2022 brochure lists a 10-inch diagonal touchscreen/rotary controller and a range of available technologies such as adaptive cruise control, HD Surround Vision, head-up display, Rear Camera Mirror and automatic parking assistance. Availability varies by trim/package, so those items should not be described as universally standard.
