2025 Cadillac CT5 Sedan Adds Sleek 33-Inch Screen, New Headlights

Cadillac has refreshed its gas-powered sedan, with a new front end that echoes the latest XT4 crossover and a revised cabin that adopts Cadillac's newest screen.

Very mild update. I think I prefer the old one but this wouldn't stop me from getting a '25.

If there is a Blackwing refresh as well I expect it to be largely the same inside with the same giant screen but a slightly different front end.

Looking forward to the 5BW reveal.

Not sure if i like the updated screen but glad that the physical buttons are still present.

Another photo I found on GMAuthority.

Hopefully this means the 5BW will be available through at least 2025 despite the Camero's likely demise. Of course just because GM spends money to develop something doesn't mean they won't cancel it (like the Blackwing engine).

I prefer the current front end, but understand the new one. My question is why they did nothing to the back end. On the current car, the front and back seem to go together. On the new one, it is a mismatch to my eyes.

That new blue color is awesome. Looks like a lighter Shadow Metallic.

Just say NO to giant screens.....

The nose of the Lux/Prem Lux looks a tad off, it might be the chrome accents. I do like the Sport front end. The dash I can take or leave. Hopefully, any issues have been worked out.

Don’t like it as much. I like how the vertical running lights are broken up on the current one. It gives them a cool sense of depth, like they run behind some of the bumper and then come back out.

And the new screen looks “fancier”, but the digital gauges are now no longer recessed back into the dash board. I hate when there’s just a flat screen behind the steering wheel, when it’s recessed it looks so much better and you don’t have to worry about sun glare at all.

Yes like on the Dark Horse with the tacked on iPad dash…looks like horse shit to me.

That green color looks fantastic!
As long as they leave the engine and 6spd trans alone I'm good.

Does anyone think it's possible that GM may charge a fee to use apple carplay or android auto?

Here’s how the screen looks on the xt4. At least for me the steering blocked part of the screen.

Edit: this was my exact pov. Captured it as close to my vision as possible.

Every brand seems to be following the Tesla "tablet tacked on to the dash as an after-thought" look. But I'm sure in a few years that will look normal and today's dashboards will look as dated as the huge rectangle speedometer with the white needle.

So glad to still have knobs and buttons with my old '22

Fine with the headlights, altrough the screen is much better than BMW because they retained physical buttons it is a thing I particularly don't like as it is a cost-cutting measure disguised as trendy must have.

I guess you could say it looks like Dark Horse shit?

I much rather prefer the digital cluster the way it is now, recessed back into the dashboard. The big curved screen looks nice and creates a more cohesive interior, but I still think I'd rather have the recessed cluster than the big screen.

Agreed. At least on the old screens, you had good sightlines through and to the sides of the steering wheel. This larger screen, while nice enough looking in pics, seems to have a lot of it's extra screen area bisected and tricected by the steering wheel obscuring vision on some of the screen real estate.

Reminds me of my '23 992 GTS. I couldn't even see the outside digital "gauges" without looking around the steering wheel to each side.

It's freakin car made to drive not a design studio..

For the life of me I cannot fathom how Porsche released this like that. The mentality is clearly changing there too.
