Which 2022 Cadillac CT5 V-Series should I choose?
The CT5 V-Series is technically the top trim model in the CT5 trim lineup. Compared to lesser trim models, the V-Series is built for an extra sporty drive. There’s another V-Series model, however: the V-Series Blackwing.
Compared to the other CT5 models, the CT5 V-Series uses a mechanical limited-slip differential to improve traction during turns. The special sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers improves both ride comfort and handling.
The V-Series is handsomely equipped with luxury features, keeping you snug in power-adjustable front sport seats and entertained via wireless smartphone connectivity.

How does the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V drive? How fast is the CT5-V Blackwing?
Both V-Series sedans are built for a high-performance drive. The Blackwing ultimately provides the most power and speed, but the regular V-Series delivers impressive athleticism at a much more reasonable price (more on that below). And the V-Series also offers all-wheel drive, helping you stick corners and maintain a grip on icy pavement.
The CT5-V Blackwing is a high-performance luxury cruiser, with a supercharged V8 engine that can go from zero to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Top speeds reach 200 mph. And the Blackwing gives shoppers the rare option of a five-speed manual transmission, making it even more fun to drive. However, if you know you’re going to be spending your commute in stop-and-go traffic, you can always opt for the smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic.
