This all-new compact sedan advances the brand\u2019s award-winning legacy with a distinctive fusion of design, performance and comfort, supported by Cadillac\u2019s latest technologies.<\/p>\n<p>An all-new fastback design underscores the CT5\u2019s refined ride, complemented with a driver-centric interior that blends high technology and high-touch elements. Luxury and Sport models allow customers to tailor the car to their style preferences with unique design and trim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to announce the availability of our first-ever CT5 in the Middle East,\u201d saidChristian Soemmer, Managing Director Cadillac International Operations and Cadillac Middle East. \u201cThe CT5 perfectly demonstrates Cadillac\u2019s unique expertise and heritage in crafting luxury sedans that are ideal for our customers in the region.

AWD is available on the Luxury trim.<\/li>\n<li>The latest Cadillac user experience<sup>1<\/sup> with a large 10-inch-diagonal screen, as well as intuitive controls, including a rotary controller.<\/li>\n<li>A host of comfort and convenience features such as standard Adaptive Remote Start and available cabin air purification ionizer and front-seat lumbar massage.<\/li>\n<li>Driver awareness technologies include standard Safety Alert Seat<sup>2<\/sup>and Cadillac\u2019s latest generation available Rear Camera Mirror with zoom and tilt adjustment.<\/li>\n<li>Standard driver assistance technologies include Forward Collision Alert<sup>2<\/sup>, Low Speed Forward Automatic Emergency Braking<sup>2<\/sup> and Front Pedestrian Braking<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>Available driver assistance technologies including Advanced<sup>2<\/sup> Adaptive Cruise Control, Enhanced Forward Automatic Emergency Braking<sup>2<\/sup>, Automatic Parking Assist with Braking<sup>2<\/sup>, HD Surround Vision , Rear Pedestrian Detection and Alert<sup>2<\/sup>, Reverse Automatic Braking<sup>3<\/sup> and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>A New Design Profile<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With a fastback profile inspired by the Escala concept, the first-ever CT5 charts a new direction for Cadillac sedan design that leverages the natural proportional advantage of the vehicle\u2019s rear-drive platform to communicate power, presence and performance.<\/p>\n<p>A long, 116-inch wheelbase (2,946 mm) and lengthened side glass accentuate the car\u2019s long, low proportion and sweeping fastback profile. Body sculpturing, including taut character lines, contributes to the car\u2019s strong stance and speaks to Cadillac\u2019s legacy of craftsmanship and technology.<\/p>\n<p>An all-LED exterior lighting strategy features signature vertical lights at all four corners of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Bright exterior accents and unique grilles and fascias distinguish the CT5 Luxury and Premium Luxury models, while the Sport model is differentiated by darker accents and performance-inspired details, including unique grilles, fascias, rocker extensions, spoiler and standard 19-inch wheels<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>High-Tech and High-Touch Interior<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CT5\u2019s interior features elegant, wide surface lines and simple interfaces, focusing on quality, attention to detail, authenticity of materials and impeccable craftsmanship.<\/p>\n<p>Everything from the instrument panel to the center display is focused on the driver and essential touch points, emphasizing control. That includes a prominent, 1080dp high-definition full-color 10-inch-diagonal touchscreen mounted high within the instrument panel for visibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Intuitive Technology and Connectivity<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CT5 delivers thoughtful technology integration by offering an intuitive in-vehicle experience with a heightened sense of control. This is provided in everything from vehicle controls that conform to the driver\u2019s driving style to the latest, more personal Cadillac user experience<sup>2<\/sup>, which provides more intuitive ways to interface with the system, including phone pairing via Near Field Communicationand a new rotary controller.<\/p>\n<p>CT5 also features standard Adaptive Remote Start and an available hands-free power-release decklid to further customers\u2019 convenience and comfort. Adaptive Remote Start automatically activates features such as the available heated\/ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel and other climate systems, depending on the temperature. The hands-free decklid uses a motion sensor with Cadillac crest target projection that allows customers to activate the trunk release with their foot, supporting easy access.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Turbocharged Performance<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CT5 is powered by a 237 horsepower 2.0L Twin-Scroll Turbo engine and 10-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Precision Shift. This standard propulsion combination offers responsive off-the-line performance with excellent low-end torque. The twin-scroll turbocharger and a unique three-step sliding camshaft help the engine optimize performance across the rpm band for a greater feeling of on-demand power at all speeds.<\/p>\n<p>Cadillac\u2019s powerful 3.0L Twin Turbo V-6 is available on Premium Luxury and Sport models, rated at an estimated 335 hp (250 kw) and 400 lb-ft of torque (542 Nm)<sup>4<\/sup>. Low-inertia turbochargers and a manifold-integrated liquid-to-air intercooling system help the engine produce exceptional power with virtually no lag and sustain it across most of the rpm band. Like the 2.0L Turbo, it is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Precision Shift.<\/p>\n<p>Both engines employ technologies such as direct injection, camshaft phasing, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and automatic stop\/start to balance performance, refinement and efficiency. Sound tuning via mechanical and electronic sources contributes to CT5\u2019s optimized effect on the senses, with engine sounds tuned to augment the driving experience in a refined manner, while helping to minimize unwanted noise in the cabin.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Evolved Driving Dynamics<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Building on the strengths of the superb RWD architecture that underpins Cadillac\u2019s award-winning rear-wheel-drive sedans, the first-ever CT5 is designed to deliver an exhilarating driving experience while maintaining the brand\u2019s signature blend of performance, comfort and refinement.<\/p>\n<p>Evolutionary enhancements of the front and rear suspensions, including Cadillac\u2019s signature double-pivot MacPherson-type front suspension, are designed to improve road isolation and driver feedback. At the rear, a five-link independent suspension contributes to the car\u2019s excellent feeling of control.<\/p>\n<p>Additional chassis and driving dynamics features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard Bosch premium electric, rack-mounted power steering system.<\/li>\n<li>Capable, confident and precise eBoost brakes.<\/li>\n<li>Brembo front brakes are standard on the Sport model.<\/li>\n<li>Standard ZF MVS passive dampers.<\/li>\n<li>All-wheel drive is available on the luxury model.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Standard customer-selectable drive modes allow CT5 to adapt even better to driver preferences and changing road conditions. The modes \u2014 Tour, Sport, Snow\/Ice and new My Mode \u2014 can alter the calibrations for transmission shifting, steering and brake feel, front\/rear torque split (with the available AWD system) and vehicle sound character to customize the driving experience.<\/p>\n<p>CT5 can handle a variety of road conditions no matter the climate, thanks to all-wheel drive available on the luxury model along with a diverse range of tire choices, including 19-inch all-season run-flat tires and 18-inch Michelin self-seal tires. All tire options allow drivers to continue driving during most punctures that would sideline conventional tires, for immediate replacement\/repair.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-1-US-Product-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-1-US-Product-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-1-US-Product-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-1-US-Product-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-1-US-Product.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-2-US-Product-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-2-US-Product-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-2-US-Product-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-2-US-Product-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-2-US-Product.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-3-US-Product-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-3-US-Product-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-3-US-Product-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-3-US-Product-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-3-US-Product.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-4-US-Product-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-4-US-Product-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-4-US-Product-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-4-US-Product-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2020-Cadillac-CT5-PremiumLuxury-4-US-Product.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cadillac has today announced the availability of its unrivaled 2020 CT5 sedan in the Middle East.
