Across 1,653 listed Cadillac CT5s nationwide, the average markup is +$109 vs MSRP and 96% are listed at or below sticker, with a median advertised price of $58,015. Updated daily.
The CT5 is Cadillac's midsize RWD sedan — the larger sibling of the CT4, built on the same Alpha platform. Two main powertrains: 2.0L turbo (237 horsepower) and 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (335 horsepower, on Premium Luxury and Sport). The CT5-V Blackwing — sold separately — is the supercharged 668-horsepower V8 halo.
Three main trims: Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport. The 3.0TT Premium Luxury AWD is the volume pick for buyers who want the larger engine and the AWD setup. The Sport adds the more aggressive exterior styling and the larger wheels.
Pricing is heavily negotiable. Below-MSRP CT5 deals are routine across all trims; stacked manufacturer incentives push effective prices meaningfully below sticker. For buyers cross-shopping the BMW 3 Series or 5 Series, the CT5 is the budget-friendlier option with meaningfully more discounting available.
