- 2021 Cadillac CT4-V review by The Straight Pipes. The Cadillac CT4-V is pumping out 325hp and 380 lb-ft tq from a 2.7L Turbo 4 cylinder. At $57,380 CAD, would you take it over a Mercedes-AMG CLA35, A35 sedan, BMW M235i, Audi S3?

Cadillac: Brrr brrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrr ( which feels like motorcycle)
The last time 4 bangers had such displacement figures, I was still driving a Porsche 944.
Great review guys! Everyone else seemingly trashed this car. Your review of it was the best, most fair, and most positive. I actually like these middle ground V cars because I have no experience driving a powerful car. I imagine something like this would be enough for me.
copped!
This is a 3-series competitor, almost identical dimension. And it’s bigger than a Lexus IS. And way bigger than an Audi A3 sedan etc
Knowing GM, now that they have a decent vehicle, they'll discontinue it.
Cause all those reddit/youtube/online car enthusiasts who always bitch about the lack of manual rwd sport sedans wont actually put their money where their mouth is when a new car comes out! 😂
@@machina_spirit Because they're all teenagers that think they know about cars.
Because the enthusiast group is young adults like myself who can’t afford it now, but would want to buy it on the used market 10 years from now
Hopefully they discontinue the corvette
Good..it has a ahitty 2.7
"And it sounds amazing!" *Proceeds to sound like the car is shitting itself.*
LOL
Haha have you seen the clips where a hippo shits it's practically the same😂
They purposefully engineered those farts on the upshifts and the chainsaw noises on the overrun to cover for the fact that this would legitimately sound like a lawnmower otherwise.
"Floor it for me" .... ...... ...... ....... ........... ....... ......... "uhhhh..let's switch the topic to performance shift"
It sounds like a lawnmower
Modern Cadillac's sadly get so overlooked by many people. Just a couple weeks ago I bought a manual ATS-V and I'm IN LOVE
I should be in class right now, but this is more important.
I should be at work but this is more important 😅
Me too bro
You got this bro!
Same bro!!
Same lmao
That car could be something special with a little more effort in the interior.
Agreed, it just looks very boring.
That sums up GM for the last 15 years or so.
@@prayformojo1117 sums up every american car ever, the drivetrains and exterior aesthetics are nice but the interiors always feel cheap and bland asf
Also the rear end is kinda meh.
Its not bad but there's not enough use of contrasting colors besides the orange stitching. Overall I still would be happy with one but yea.......GM just refuses to put it all together. Its sad. Theyve proven they can do it if they really felt like it.
I bought a Honda Type-R and had some questions for the dealer (as I couldn't test drive due to no stock) and he turned his monitor around and it was THE STRAIGHT PIPES explaining the piped-in engine noise!! how awesome is that
Impressive how you bought a car that wasn't there.
@@jamievidd775 it's called ordering??? hello?
@@jamievidd775 ..ok
How do you like the Type-R. Was thinking of getting one but also afraid of a car i can't test drive.
@@bonz1481 Ye same, I tried to test drive way 2nd hand but didn't work out lol. Mate amazing ay..the steering is so instant compared to my scirocco R it's crazy. Driving around town is nice, lots of attention - could daily it in normal modes and fuel is no drama, can take a second or two to pick up and go in normal drive mode. R Mode is godlike. Instant power as soon as you tape the throttle. 6 piston brakes as well so huge ability to stop.
The Interior is crazy, the Alcantara is something I've never had or seen before, feels amazing.
Negative:
Paint is very poorly applied in the sense it's thin, within a week I had 2 paint chips on the top of my bonnet/hood and it looks like its one or two coats.
Wheels are massive, so rocks catch up in the calipers (minor) and the tires are VERY expensive.
Back seats feel a bit cheap, but who cares about the back seats!
These are no longer grandpa’s church car! Love the imitation Yuri. Very realistic.
I kind of miss grandpa's church car tho
@@elsapomasguapo Grandpa's church car was comfortable and classy? This POS here? Nope..
Lol That song Cadillac no longer applies 😁
6:34 please bring back those onomatopoeia sound effect subtitles. I really loved the “pop”s from the Mini Cooper review.
I SECOND THIS
^^^^^^
Yes
"You can drive rear-wheel drive in the snow"
THANK YOU!
People have done it for decades before AWD, ABS, Traction Control, etc...
Ya and after the first five minutes it sucks.
Yes you can, just carefully! It's without a doubt much easier to lose traction when turning or fail to grip while taking off from a stop. I'll always prefer RWD in the snow because of how much fun it is when there's no cars other cars on the road 😂
Tyres are more important than amount of wheels driven.
Prior to the obsession with FWD vehicles, EVERYONE DROVE RWD in the SNOW.
How did they ever survive?
Simple. WINTER TIRES.
Cadillac is making a huge comeback
@@JESUS_IS_GOD aren’t cadillacs only sold in North America tho?
@@JYMAHJAMES Nope... they're also available in the middle east and china along with some other select markets
@@JESUS_IS_GOD More like a comeback for enthusiasts
@@JESUS_IS_GOD Not Sold in autralia, the rest is true
@@JESUS_IS_GOD You realize that you have to be down to make a comeback right? In the 40s they were like Rolls Royce but they started to only care about max profit and just threw crap at customers.
I love the overall hype and feel of your videos the most. Keep up the great content!
I am in love with my CT4 Sport. It's a real head turner, I can only imagine how much more fun the V would be 👌
00:59:
One of the most established automobile journalists doing his job.
Love it.
This seems as fun to drive as the ATS was. I like the beautifully unique exterior that sets it apart and the clean upscale interior with real aluminum, magnesium and leather which is a nice touch as well. Good job Cadillac.
Wow I was really waiting a review of this car!!!!
Picking up my 2023 in rift metallic tomorrow. I'm so excited, it's my first sports car. 100% got it because of this review
Is it as sporty as they said?
You guys are living the dream! Another great review!
I completely zoned out for drive mode discussion... just looked at your hair cut - which looks good. You both were excited about the modes and launch control. It was great energy.
Certainly one of the best reviews these guys have done.
1:32 That equivalence chart should help with Throttle House's Kia K5 video 😂😅
Color me surprised that this is as good as it is. For the vast majority of enthusiasts this would be all you would need or want in a fun daily. The Blackwing variants are exciting but will be much, much harder to fully exploit without tracking them. This one you could just romp on all the time and drive around with a big smile on your face.
Don't be sorry for educating on the technical performance systems. We love it!
Great video, excited for the Blackwing. Agree that winter tires are king but AWD still makes a HUGE difference in real winter driving.
Had mine since last year, no complaints whatsoever about the car. The handling is much better than my previous Audi, interior is okay, everything works as intented.
Pretty nice car for the price, if you like driving fast around corners in your daily driver.
Gotta say, that like was smashed before the video even started. 👍
Been waiting for this, and more so, the ct5-v manual.
thats the ct5v blackwing (manual) also twice the price of the ct5v :)
Really love the car comparison you guys did. Made it super simple and interesting.
I love your reviews, and great job on explaining the tech. I want to be like you guys when I grow up!!!!
“And it sounds good”. Me, “that’s a joke right 😐” but honestly it doesn’t sound half bad for a 4-cylinder
I’d rather listen to the Porsche Tycan UFO noises.
2.7 liter makes the difference in a world of 2 liter 4 cylinders
In person sound may vastly differ from the sound picked up by the microphone used to record this video.
@@georgesunnyt Yeah, what he said.
It seems like a load of fun! Those 0-60 times (as tested, not as the car lied about!) are still very respectable for a RWD in the snow. Maybe some thicker rear tires would help plant the power better.
If you don’t mind my asking, how practical would it be as a daily? Are the back seat/trunk truly useful?
I'm around the six minute mark, and hearing Yuri talk about holding the wheel to the right and going straight is actually something I learned around the time this vid actually dropped.
Driving my 2020 Kia Stinger GT1 through the winter storm in Texas 😂
My mom home with this out of nowhere, never heard of this car before because I don’t look into them but this car is an absolute dream
Seriously 😳
You guys filmed this video for us even when it was snowing like hell🙌 ton of respect.
Gotta make the $$$
Probably one of the only RUclipsrs that tell you how to do donuts in the winter in the car they’re reviewing
Cadillac always has a charm. Good to see them putting out some good products.
this car is awesome!! you get so much more car for the $ than with the German rivals, you Canadian guys are great, keep up the good work (RG from TX)
The thumbnail is awesome 🌟
Your big fan from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Please give me a heart ♥️
Nice review as always
That front end lookin good but then they closed their eyes when designing the back.
Its a thiccc rear
i feel the opposite. the front looks derpy
Dude honestly that front end looks mean but that rear end is horrendous
I love these guys man such genuine guys and make good ass videos keep up the work boys
I have a 2020 chevy spark and I found that long holding my home button takes me straight back to android auto.
Love your videos!
Can't wait for the manual Blackwing
Never thought I'd see the day a Cadillac family car comes in a manual and the Corvette doesn't, but here we are
You must not know Cadillacs, Cts-v was manual multiple times
@@phat-b6771 I'm well aware of that, but the Corvette was offered in a manual at that time as well. You may have missed my point
@@shiftmotorsports9803 oh yeah I did, I see what you’re saying
I absolutely love the looks of this car and most Cadillac.
It is so refreshing that Cadillac is making awesome driver’s cars. Really looking forward to the next one!
An automatic with a bunch of electronics and magnetic suspension is not my idea of a driver's car.
@@OriginalFallofMind sorry, to be clear the Blackwing manual they alluded to. It is true there are a lot electronics involved, but from the gents review even this one sounds much more driver focused than some of the competitors. I definitely wouldn’t classify them as best drivers cars or something along those lines, but definitely seems to be a step in the right direction. 🍻 👊
great review guys, i was looking to go for the CT5V but after several reviews and this one especially, i think i may have my mind made up for the CT4V instead .. that said, i am going to wait for the 2023 mid-cycle refresh ... thanks guys
Finally a decent review of this car
Loved having that car. It was a lot of fun. nicely done guys! "VED not VEE" HAHA.
I can’t wait to see a review of the blackwings! Whenever you guys get your hands on one to review, PLEASE try your hardest to get a manual. I want to see that no-lift-shift 👀
Got one 2 months ago , so far I have put 2000km on it and loving every bit of it, came from 9 Mercedes (5 AMGs), 4 BMWs, and 2 Porsches, first time owing an American car and I feel I have missed out for so many years, interior is much more premium than the BMW 2GC and any Mercedes A class platform products, and probably the best sounding of all considering the competition are all 4 cylinder (had a GLA45 before and it sounds awful imo). I am really surprise to see so many negative comments about this car and seems almost all of them came from people who never actually owned one or even drove them at all to compare, especially about the interior, the car drives and feels much more expensive and premium than anything else in its class, but most people nowadays seems to be brand bias anyways and the brand image is everything, l am glad that you guys did a great review of the car!
Because bashers drives civic
It's got a pretty clean looking front end
GM needs to make a Q3/X3 sized crossover version of this. Would be cool to see an American Macan competitor.
Love this review! Probably my favorite in awhile
This makes me reconsider the ct5 V because y’all figured out how to live with the traction control. I think of the CT4V as a grown up Subaru STI but RWD and I’m ok with that!
Yuri sounds excited again! Woohoo!
Great job Cadillac. I would definitely buy this car. If I had the money.
I have the money. But it's going toward a new house. True story. But, I'd be lying if I said I haven't been building my own CT4 on Cadillac website at least once a week for a few months..
You guys are uploading like crazy i love it 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
CTS-V: *pops 'n' crackles*
Yuri: ppppphhbbbbbt
I still remember when they had the Cadillac Catera which was the poor mans Cadillac lol and the CT’s great cars
I make those same exact sounds after a night of Taco Bell.
That mode selection is very confusing like nobody would no how to get into any of that unless they watched your video so awesome job on doing that
Dudes love your channel, really respect your reviews. I did however notice the comments about the shirts in this video review. I am one of (sounds like the few) that have purchased a hoody from you guys “Visor check”, love the artwork, however the quality of the hoody is lacking and I don’t wear it, however I want to support you guys.
I know you guys are car reviewers/fans/etc... and are not it to sell clothing but, I would totally buy more if the quality was better.
Keep up the great work... thanks and cheers!!
You guys must have a PhD in instrument cluster and driving modes cause I didn't understand a darn thing about that car settings.
Lol me too I kept saying to myself I would just hit the auto mode if this car has like most Mercedes BMWs do hit that and it will select drive modes automatically their explanation while entertaining wouldn’t help any average Joe customer excited for his new car with too many confusing buttons and drive modes 😁
Agreed, it should never be this hard.
Yuri: “We’re used to snow.”
Me: Cries in Texan. 😭
So glad this comes in the awd option as well which is perfect for a state like MI.
Love my ATS 2.0 6MT with real tailpipes! too bad they didnt give us a MT in the lower ranks this time though, thank guys, seems you liked it!
This is the first RWD version I've seen in Ontario. Really considering a RWD one to replace my ATS AWD
In Canada ??
@@Szcza04 Absolutely. Have had many RWD cars/trucks and have never had an issue.
I would keep your ATS. THEY took away trunk space, and rear head room in the CT4.
Great review! I wish they would sell GM cars in Europe again :(
Opel
@@sikhovski its psa now
@@sikhovski GM sold Opel to PSA back in 2017.
@Fake Name who are you asking?
I'm pretty sure Cadillac sells the XT4 in Germany lol
Without a doubt, one of the best vehicle brands and design lines for years!
I like how the shift lever is also the display of the gears!
My first thought on this car is I can't see why you'd pay that price for any 4 cylinder. Now that the Civic type R is out, I'm looking at the CT4-V realizing it's only a few thousand more than a Honda civic, but instead of fwd its rwd with an awd option, and instead of a Honda it's a Cadillac... and now it's making a lot more sense 😂 It's just too bad you can't get the manual without paying for the blackwing!
Yeah man that would be a ridiculous car, I would be all over a manual 2.7. If I could afford the Blackwing of course I would want that but this RWD 2.7 is really interesting to me
This car is a surprise having driven it. Only weakness is that truck I4 is definitely rough. I’d probably take the CT5-V instead.
You should. This engine is bad enough in a Chevrolet, much less a Cadillac
i found the same, ended up buying the ct5v, coudlnt get past the 4 banger thing
@@putz173 the ATS had the 3.6 V6 but those are difficult to find nowadays
@@pontiacGXPfan wish they used the 3.6 TT in the ct5v, or atleast the 400hp varient of the 3.0, but they detuned the 3.0tt to 360hp on the ct5v, probably needed more HP gap between the ct5v and ct4 blackwing, still goes like stink and hoping for a tune to get it back up to 400 range some day
I bought the CT5 TURBO. 4 CYL. I love it. Put vogue tyres on it. looks clean drives nice white with tan leather
I currently have an ATS-V and have a CT4 Blackwing on order. Woot!
I think I'm sold on my next car, whenever that may be. Hopefully soon!
Someone put an impact drill in the exhaust. Take it back to the dealer.
Loving the front end on most new Cadillac now a days!
I can’t wait to see the black wing version. Thinking about getting one, once the lease is up for my M340i.
Can't wait for the manual CT5 V Blackwing!!!
Good for you. In my country, Cadillac didn't exist at all
@@scuckplexity me too I'm British.
@@ddent599 oh. Understandable
@@scuckplexity have a nice day
me too
You guys should definitely do a comparison video on the new BMW M5 vs the new Mercedes Benz E63 AMG...plsss....
"High" from colorado! Haha love this channel, you guys kill it
Yuri: “Rear wheel drive everything always please.” Yes!
Cadillac is totally underrated. I'd take one over any other performance luxury.
14:40 nice shift
Very cool to see GM making fun Cadillac’s again! It’s funny to see that this car shares the same exact track mode settings as my Camaro SS 1le which is only used on the zl1, zl1 1le and the other 1le trims of the camaro.
I hope you guys review the Blackwing with the manual when it comes out! It might be the last generation of manual high-performance sedans.
Wow, I'm impressed. This just might be my favorite sport sedan. Sorry civic type R, I've been swayed.
I have an ats , the predecessor to this, with a few mods, and it's miles better than a type R now. This is a whole new game!
Listen guys, I get about 0.5" of snow every 10 years, can't blame me that I have no idea how to drive in snow.
Just think of it as drifting assist turned on.
Cooler than I thought, and I'm still surprised you guys liked it so much
the actual engine sound itself in the cabin is pretty nice ngl
That thing sounds like something, looks sexy and performs crazy for price. How can anyone hate it?
Because haters will hate anything gm for some reason, yet bmw can commit no sins. Seriously, if gm was putting out the shitty cars and designs bmw has been recently, people would be a lot more harsh to gm than they are being rn towards bmw
That's the same displacement and HP and TQ as the Fusion Sport, except the Fusion's 2.7L is a V6
Except this is RWD which makes a huge difference.
2.7L in a 4cyl is a HUGE difference though, that's a big displacement for a 4, it's kinda small for a 6. Still weird that it doesn't make more torque.
Performance shift has been in Cadillacs at least as far back as 2008. My CTS went into that mode, as well as my 2016 CT6.
I like to think of it as evasive manuevers mode.
GREAT review guys!
Yeah sedan times are coming back in action
Dang it, now this is my next (realistic & reasonable) dream car. Might have won me over from the m340i camp
I’m in the same boat! Think about reliability if you plan on keeping the car for a bit, seems like the Caddy has a leg up in that regard, that’s what’s making me lean towards it
Really enjoying mine. Some might laugh and shake their heads in disbelief. Traded in a 19 Camaro 2SS 1LE 6spd manual for this 2021 ct4v auto. It is fabulous, plush and smooth. I liked the Camaro and it was awesome but was much more demanding and engagement needed. Rougher ride with 1LE but man could it handle any curve. Worried about bumper blocks & potholes. Banging gears is fun but I could see trouble in my future. The ct4v is fun comfortable and relaxing.
You guys should incorporate a lauchscribe. Thanks for what you do! 🤙
I love the small nobs for volume and songs
I hope to see the blackwing soon.
Finally a car for the younger crowd to get into. Cadillacs comeback starts this decade.
Young ppl are not buying this car
@@JT-pt5tl why not?
These guys are the Rhett And Link of cars😹😹 love your videos!!
The car is just ok ... good ep as always guys
