Cadillac CTS vs. CTS-V

2019 was the final model year for the Cadillac CTS, and this luxury midsize car is definitely worth the investment if you’re looking for a pre-owned car in the luxury midsize sedan segment. The 2019 CTS was offered in six trim levels, from a well-equipped base model to the performance-focused top trim, the CTS-V.

If you’re not sure which pre-owned CTS model is right for you, use the guide below to compare Cadillac trims. We’ll be exploring how the Cadillac CTS vs. CTS-V stack up in several key areas: engines, interior amenities, and technology.

2019 Cadillac CTS vs. CTS-V: Performance

The entry-level CTS sports a peppy turbocharged I4 engine that churns out 268 horsepower. One of the base configuration’s biggest benefits is a harmony of power and efficiency; you’ll get up to 22 mpg on Byron streets and 30 mpg on the highway.

Of course, no other Cadillac CTS trim compares to the CTS-V when it comes to speed and power; it’s the only model in the 2019 CTS lineup with a 640-hp supercharged V8. The CTS-V also gains performance-focused features like launch control, Brembo brakes, and sporty style elements inside and out.
