It could be worse, but it could be better.
Cadillac’s new mid-level sports sedan has been on a long journey and is not yet available for purchase. Although the CT5_V was launched almost a year ago (May 2019), Cadillac’s online configurator is still not fully functional. It’s now time to find out how much this car will cost with all of the options. It can get quite expensive.
The CT5V all wheel-drive model is our base price at $51,290. It comes with a black interior and a choice between white or black exterior. The only transmission available is a 10-speed automatic.
Red Obsession Tintcoat is an exterior option that costs $1,225. Polished or painted 20-inch wheels adds $2,350. We chose polished because painted wheels seem so outlandish these days. There are no other exterior tweaks so our financial journey begins from the inside.
The Platinum Package is the big add-on. It appears as a $6290 option, but $13,130 is added when you choose it. The package includes all other packages that you can automatically get, making it both easy and confusing for shoppers. The CT5-V comes with all the driver assistance, exterior cameras, a 15 speaker Bose sound system and a monotone black interior.
While the V model already comes with all the go-fast features, there are a few mechanical options like red brake calipers at $595. The Platinum Package includes almost everything you need for your interior. However, the $13,100 extra charge does not include premium carpeted flooring mats. You can also select them here for an additional $205, while an all-weather cargo rug costs $105. The price of a suede microfiber steering wheel with shift knob is $300. A few other items, such as safety kits and cargo organizers, can bring us up to $69,000.
Destination charges will add up to about $70,000. The final cost is $69,995 There are many accessories that can be installed by dealers, such as jump starters, jump starters and license plates frames. You could add $2,000, but we prefer manufacturer pricing. We stick to the price of items from the factory. It looks like $69 995 is our highest figure.
You’d pay much more for a fully-equipped Mercedes AMG C43. The BMW M340ixDrive, which offers 382 horsepower (285 kW), is priced at the same price as the Caddy. The BMW 3 Series is a standard in sports sedans for decades. However, the CT5_V is brand-new and very slow to come to market. This is a company that seems to be a little lost when it comes down to performance.
