First introduced back in the early 2000s, the V-Series lineup was Cadillac's answer to high-powered sports sedans from its European rivals. What has resulted is a collection of vehicles with breathtakingly-quick performance and delightful handling, complemented by beautiful bodywork. The legendary Cadillac CTS-V was the first example, breathing new life into the brand and attracting thousands of thrill-seeking drivers from all generations. The 4th-generation V-Series group currently consists of the Cadillac Escalade V and three performance sedans, two of which are available as aggressive Blackwing variants. Each one is a bit of a departure from the previous models in terms of exterior design language. However, they still showcase the athletic character and unbeatable driving dynamics that have made this project such a success. Today, we're looking at all the reasons why the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V is a must-have for any driver.
The 2022 Cadillac CT4-V's Powertrain and Performance Features
The 2022 Cadillac CT4-V comes standard with a 2.7-liter Dual-Volute turbo-four engine, producing 325 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission and RWD, but AWD is also available. Cadillac quotes a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 4.8 seconds for this model. Its top speed on the track is an impressive 156 mph.
A performance suspension is standard, optimized with the latest Magnetic Ride Control (exclusive for RWD models) technology. This allows the suspension to automatically adjust itself over any type of terrain for the smoothest driving experience possible. On the Cadillac CT4-V, Magnetic Ride Control can read the road up to 1,000 times in one second.
The Cadillac CT4-V also boasts a limited-slip rear differential and a set of 18-inch wheels with low-profile summer-only tires. 19-inch wheels are optional, as well as all-season low-profile tires for both wheel sizes. Unsprung mass is reduced significantly because of the wheels' aluminum alloy material, allowing you to bring the vehicle to a swift stop in record time. This is made even easier with the Cadillac CT4-V's Brembo performance front brakes.
Drivers are able to customize their riding experience with different driving modes. Shift into Sport mode for optimum performance, or stick to Tour mode for a ride in premium comfort. Snow/Ice mode allows for better traction over wet roads, even if you don't have AWD.
The V-Series
The V-Series models come with two unique drive settings: Track Mode and V-Mode. The Track setting optimizes the throttle response and transmission for the most thrilling experience. V-Mode allows you to adjust the braking and steering responses, the powertrain, the suspension, and even the tone of the turbo-four engine.
You can activate V-Mode at any time by pressing its corresponding button on the steering wheel. The other drive modes can be configured from the center console. This is also where the My Mode setting is located, which gives you the freedom of blending elements from every available drive mode.
When the vehicle is in Track mode, Cadillac CT4-V drivers can use the Launch Control function. This setting gives you exhilarating straight-line acceleration while keeping tire spin at a safe minimum.
An Aerodynamic Body
The updated exterior designs of the latest CT4-V models aren't merely for aesthetic purposes. Horsepower stays high with the performance valves and quad-trapezoid exhaust tips. Traction is better than ever with an aggressive rear spoiler and an optimized front splitter.
Bright LED headlights with vertical running lights are also included, so you can speed around the track at night in style. Maximum engine airflow and cooling are attained with the airy mesh grille on the CT4-V's stylish front end.
A Simple (Yet Luxurious) Interior in the Cadillac CT4-V
The Cadillac CT4-V has seating for up to five riders on premium Inteluxe upholstery, with high-quality leather upholstery and intricate stitching available. Both of the front bucket seats in the cabin get 18-way power adjustability settings, and lumber massaging can be activated with one press of a button.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel can be heated and comes with alloy pedal shifters. Several other small aesthetic touches, including torch-red seat belts and ambient lighting, create a truly immersive V-Series experience. Your preferred racing soundtracks will sound better than ever with the 14-speaker Bose stereo.
Useful Performance, Convenience, and Safety Technology
You can preserve your glorious memories from the track with the Cadillac CT4-V's optional Integrated Performance Data Recorder. You'll be able to record driving footage (including the in-cabin audio) and play it back in 1080p. This function also records your handling and speed specs, allowing you to improve your abilities and recreate the most thrilling drives.
You can watch all of your recordings from the comfort of the driver's seat: they're stored on the 8-inch Cadillac user experience screen. The entire interface is highly intuitive with fast response times, along with crisp colors and graphics. Wireless smartphone pairing for both Android and Apple devices comes standard. Navigation with real-time traffic alerts is optional.
Of course, safety is a top priority when you're cruising or racing inside one of the fastest vehicles around. The Cadillac CT4-V features a Smart Cadillac suite of driver's aids that includes:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Rear Seat Reminder
- Safety Alert Seat
- Forward Collison Alert
- Front Pedestrian Emergency Braking
- Teen Driver
- Rear Park Assist
- HD Backup Camera
Optional features include lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatically-adjustable Intellibeam headlights. You can also take advantage of Super Cruise, the first hands-free autonomous cruise control system for highway driving.
How Much Does the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Cost?
The 2022 Cadillac CT4-V has a starting MSRP of just $45,895. The CT4-V also has a number of reasonably-priced packages available, including the sleek Onyx appearance package and a Climate Package (which includes heating and lumbar massage for all passengers).
