@@foam27 you are right. I don't buy new cars because of the severe depreciation, I could pick up three amazing vehicles for the price of this thing, probably 4.
Compare and price option-to-option the Caddy against another European luxury rival. I guarantee the rival will be substantially more expensive. As a Cadillac owner, trust me... I KNOW Caddy's shortcomings (and they are many). But, the hate is way, way overblown and I'd be curious how many of the haters on the internet have actually driven a (new) cadillac in the past five years.
Even though I despise General Motors I will give props to Cadillac for keeping the sedans alive. It must've took alot for Cadillac to keep making sedans but I'm glad they are continuing. And while I'm tired of these turbocharged 4 cylinders I do find this 2.7 turbo 4 very interesting.
I love the styling and it definitely is gonna be fun to drive but as usual GM fails on the interior and final details. This car is what the ATS should have been 5 years ago. I want Cadillac to do better, this is not the Standard of American Luxury. They’re still gonna be playing catch up to the Germans. Even a Kia Stinger makes a better impression than this.
Sheth Jones it doesn’t compete with the 2 series or A3. It competes with the 3/4 series, A4 and C class. The interiors in each of those is miles ahead of this 🤷🏾♂️
those hinges very specifically do not "crush onto the cargo" as they are enclosed, they do intrude vs an exterior strut but they don't crush like a cheaper car where the hinges actually do press into the cargo.
Aww sad to see so many negatives on Cadillac. I must be one of the few who decided to keep my car 100% American. I got rid of my loved 2015 bmw 428i xdrive gran coupe for a 2019 Cadillac CTS and I absolutely love my Cadillac. I’ve had it a year now and have not 1 regret. The handling, motor, and interior are all plenty good and in my honest opinion the interior of my Cadillac is miles ahead of my bmw now obviously my bmw was aging lol and I don’t review cars daily so I’m not in touch as most these reviewers who drive them daily, but I have no complaints.
Can’t fathom anyone taking an A class over this. The steering feel alone makes this car pretty solid. RWD is a must if you enjoy driving. And who cares what they call the car?
yeah the name whining is just odd. But BMW and MB can abandon the logic of their naming conventions and no one notices or cares. Not buying a car because of the rear badging is one of the silliest things Ive heard.
@@shethjones4494 i think the complaints on cadillacs naming system is that Mercedes n bmw's are based on heritage but Cadillac (and audi too) simply did it to have 'big numbers' which makes no sense. as for the gearbox I've seen other reviewers who despise it and the premise of a gearbox like that just doesn't appeal to me nor will it other buyers.
I like it but the interior needs to be better. After the Escalade and Lyriq, I REFUSE to believe that GM can’t make a luxurious beautiful interior!!!! But in their defense, the CT5 and 4 are probably the last 2 new cadillacs to come with non regular names like the Escalade or Lyriq. But I love the design!
And you would be correct. Cadillac always does dumb shit like this. They'll have a nice exterior, then dumb ass the intetior. It's like they refuse to copy how the Germans do the exterior and interiors well AT THE SAME DAMN TIMEON THE SAME DAMN CAR.
@@LIL-MAN_theOG You are only going to get so much car for X dollars no matter who makes it. I would rather have a beautiful car with a reliable drive train and a minimalist interior that is comfortable and functional.
Well CT4 and CT5 came before the new Escalade and Lyriq. These new vehicles with nice interiors are pretty much the beginning of Johan de Nysschen era Cadillac. Too bad he's not there anymore.
It actually seems decent. The 3.6l v6 had timing chain and head gasket problems and the 8 speed was a clunky junker. The 10 speed is a good transmission and the 2.7l seems decent although the pumped in noise is overkill. It seems like Cadillac is learning from past mistakes gradually.
I leased a Jaguar XE supercharged 6 banger and it was an absolute joy to drive. I feel it's probably the most slept on car; unfortunately they got rid of the 6 cylinder in 2020. 50k MSRP but i knocked off 8k off the price.
He complains a lot about the sound - I think it sounds good. Journalists complain when cars make noise and then complain when they are too quiet for being boring
May surprise you but you can find most luxury cars at rental companies.My last rental at enterprise was a Audi Q7.So that’s not a negative against this car ,furthermore because the reviewer doesn’t like the engine/exhaust sound doesn’t mean that the viewers are in agreement because a like the sound.
I think you've been way too harsh on this car. "It doesn't wow me like a mercedes"....."try that in your front wheel drive mercedes", and it looks like a rental car? I think it looks great. It's one of the few brand cars that aren't hideously overstyled.
I agree. A mid-level A-class doesn't stand out any more than this mid-level CT4, and I actually think this car looks a little nicer. The interior on the other hand is a little boring (a 2-tone color scheme might help some instead of the plain charcoal/black color in this one).
Yea, seems to forget this is going against the FWD mercs and BMW's which are also cheap feeling inside. But because it's Cadillac, it is highlighted constantly.
@@nsu300zx Yep, he's being biased against American brands. The CLA 35 AMG competes with the CT4 V which is 10-20K cheaper. His model is the standard luxury CT4 model.
Besides the Ecoboost 2.7L V6 being the far superior motor in both truck and car applications, Ford also never tried to pass off the Fusion Sport as a luxury sedan from an aspirational nameplate.
@@flightwriterNG they did but called it an mkz and bored it to 3.0 lol. There identical underneath. Fusion sport with another 1000lbs on this would still best it in a straight line 😂 should've gave it a ten speed
@@shethjones4494 That the 2.7L four-banger was "always going to be in this car" speaks to GM's laziness and ineptitude, not its intelligence or shrewd planning. And there are many, many more differences between the Corvette's 6.2L V8 and the "truck" version than there are between the Silverado-spec 2.7L and this one.
Agreed. I'm not really impressed with Tesla at all. The exterior design on their vehicles are awkward and unattractive, crappy interior (as you mentioned), and here in Vegas Tesla is getting kind of "douchey".
I disagree, I think Tesla's interior is sleek and minimalist. The leather is plush and comfortable, large screen and autopilot is still the best in the industry. Ride and interior noise could be improved but it's outweighed by the performance, handling and convenience of a full tank every morning.
He really loved the CTS V-Sport, so I’m anxious to see his review of the new CT5-V, which has garnered near universal praise. [not sure what his complaint is about the engine noise...sounded good to me for a 4 cylinder]
That change in Sofyan's expression at about 22 minutes 31 seconds reminds me a lot of the one I get when I unexpectedly notice a cop in my rear view mirror!
"Cadillac is supposed to be the world standard" It's been like 60 years since that era. How many more decades of decline do we need for Cadillac before we give up on that line? On top of that, this car screams to do something slightly different, like go hybrid.
Well don't look to Lexua to carry that torch today. Meanwhile Cadillac has one more refresh of the current ICE vehocles before going BEV. Not many ICE manufacturers can say that today.
@@foam27 Cadillac should be making performance a thing for every powertrain combo. The 2.0E doesn't have that. This is basically destined to be a rental car and it shows in every way.
The CT-4 is a good compact RWD sedan with a strong engine. Cadillac could have given it some more luxury features though. Very interested in the Blackwing version.
I have been hearing the exact same comments about Cadillac my entire adult life: "It's a good car and ALMOST as good as the Germans, but not quite." Despite endless $billions GM has spent on Cadillac, they have yet to get it right. This sad CT4 is merely a restyled ATS with a slightly nicer interior. It's not even an all new car. I don't see who the buyer is for this car. The older buyers won't care about the RWD, and won't like the tiny trunk and rough engine. Younger buyers would want either a German car at this price, or a Tesla.
you should go back and check out the C&D 10BEst list in the years when the CTS and CTS-V sport made it. Then see if your assessment is accurate. You should also check out lighting lap and how the CTS V and ATS V performed vs their peers on a track.
So the Tesla Model 3 has a $20,000 advantage as it costs the same $50,000 price tag with all the nice options, but saves you that much in gasoline over its life. I am a big Cadillac fan, and own a CTS, but economically and from a performance perspective, Tesla Model 3 beats all the ICE competition.
Love it... Cadillac has lowered their bar so this car that's 1" longer than a 3 series, same size as a C class and an inch shorter than an A4 is supposed to compete with the much cheaper and less refined variants from the other manufacturers.
At one point they were saying the ct4 was going to be smaller than the ats and that sounded great, like a 2 series rival. When your small car is bigger than a 3 series, that's bullshit.
I disagree with your styling opinion. Mercedes design has become very bulbous and unattractive in the A class and Do you really the the BMW 2 series grand coupe looks better? I really feel that many automotive journalists are stuck with thinking Caddy is trash. They do deserve it to some extent, but I think they get criticized on things that get overlooked if the car had a German badge. I will say I love your channel and enjoy your reviews! Keep up the great work!
I kind of agree... I think this car looks as good as anything else it competes with, but it's still kind of a letdown when you compare certain aspects to the Germans. At least GM seems to have priced it right.
Sounds like someone who owns a Camry and is looking to validate their purchase, am I off the mark? Why else would anyone ever say "I'd rather have a Camry over X?" No one ever says this about any car. Ever. I've seen dishwashers more exciting than a Camry.
I really don’t get the obsession with giant screens on the dashboard. My car has a 6” screen and it works just fine. The only way to please them is to put up a friggin 32” TV on the dash. Gee whiz!
he is obsessed with LED lights and huge screens. Nothing more is accomplished with a 10" or 12" screen, its just bigger for bragging rights. A 10in screen in this car would be nice, but in a small cabin the 8in isnt unreasonable. Whats funny is many of these "large" screens have narrow profiles with more stretched out aspect ratios....lexus and Genesis are doing this. 12 or 14 in screens that are only 5 in high.
Wow, Sofyan, you must have been in a bad mood when you recorded this video! "These hinges that crush onto your cargo" (what? the hinges have their own compartment), rear leg room less than a Honda Civic (what about the CLA @ 27"?). It just seemed that you had already made up your mind before you even started. Anyway, I usually really enjoy your reviews, e.g., your maniacal cackle when accelerating in the C8, great attention to detail and thorough reviews. Maybe we can blame this particular video on COVID...
he should have just passed on the car when Cadillac offered it. The cargo crushing comment was interesting. Also interesting was the comment about the "hard" leather.
I would have to agree with you here. I'm no big fan of Cadillac, but I think the exterior styling and interior design look great and are very class competitive. Normally, I think Sofyan does very objective reviews, but in this case it seemed the Caddy was doomed from the start. The engine sounded fine to me in the video. Maybe in person it is a different experience.
Cadillac is not trying to copy the Germans approach with sedans anymore, they are pricing these well below the German competitors and doing their own thing now. It will be successful and the CT4/CT5 will sell well.
This car is a hot 🔥 mass come on Cadillac I've seen KIA cars look more luxurious than the CT4 . I like the out side but interior needs help Cadillac what are you all doing. Just get a whole new team 🤔
“Premium luxury” package yet you get hardly any standard luxury equipment-no LED headlights, no sunroof, smaller wheels, etc. What does the base package have, manual windows and doors?
That new exterior is amazing! But that interior is just so “GM” so bland and sad for a luxury car :( Where is that over the top luxury old school Cadillac? On the bright side, that horrendous dashboard with the blue lighting and font is gone.
I appreciate Cadillac’s simple design language and layout for their dashboard. BMW, Mercedes, Audi all try and compete for touchscreen controls and it drives me nuts. Simplicity is fantastic. However, the turbo 4 is going to burn oil. It’ll need oil changes more often than recommended I guarantee that.
Huh? It's been like that for years, and it sucks. This is why they're failing.. They're putting cars out for people like you. This is a luxury segment, not Volvo
Francis Herrera how would I know that? I wouldn’t of said it otherwise. And which part are you referencing: the turbo 4 or the simplified design of the dashboard? Clearly, our reviewer stated that Cadillac changed the functionality of the dashboard.
The upcoming Genesis G70 is expected to have a base engine 2.5t with around 300hp and it should be a less expensive and better option. Or get the twin turbo V6 option for around the same price and it also comes with a much better warranty, interior and features.
I think it’s ridiculous they are branding the CT4 as a A3/A Class competitor when it’s the size of a 3 Series/C Class/A4. Let’s be real this is a 3 Series competitor just like the ATS was.
@@Stressless2023 Yes, that might be true, but also irrelevant. I could buy a Toyota Avalon for this PRICE, but that doesn't make it a competitor. This is a "compact luxury sport sedan". Not subcompact.
Chevy got a good 4 banger in their Malibu 🤷🏽♂️. And dude unless you driven this car you can’t really know for sure if it’s bad by watching one guy talk about it
Rear bumper has officially disappeared... I would remove all badges with the exception of the Cadillac Crests. God help us, a Cadillac where I'm not sure I could get my golf bags in the trunk. However RWD is a big plus and if you can turn off the fake engine noise, that's a plus.
I think Cadillac is targeting the lower end of the market with a value play via the CT4 and CT5 with the intention of getting people interested in the brand again since sales were so dismal the last few years...with the long term goal of moving back up towards the true premium luxury segment...rumor is that for 2021 they will be making certain key upgrades including full digital gauge cluster (optional), premium leather wrapped steering wheel, super cruise, wireless car play/android auto connection, etc. Personally I hope that the Mercedes-inspired gauges/dash setup in the 2021 Escalade will be put into the sedans
I've always thought that Cadillac represented what Chevy should be. It's not that the Americans can't make decent cars it's that they can't do so as inexpensively as the Japanese. So they sell their halfway decent cars as luxury vehicles. In Japan we call this car a Honda Accord.
Too bad this will probably be another bomb by GM... falling apart in a few years - unlike the classic Cadillac brand, making those cars which was like driving your living room couch down the street in true luxury, shitty mileage, but yet last forever.
MN Mikha the question is why not? We always ask why would they do that when it would actually sell. Brands always have an excuse now when talking about a v8. No wonder cars are selling. I don’t want to have to buy a pickup truck I don’t need in order to get a v8 and I don’t want another crappy turbo 4 cylinder
i mean you can more or less predict what he will say. Handles well, not as nice as a german car, too expensive for a cadillac, nice but not as good as the CTS-V, no full digital dash, 10.2 in screen not large enough, etc. Oh and Bose is nice but not as good a a german sound system
A corolla could come with every thing in the book. Its drive like crap, sounds like crap and inside is cheap. So if they didnt give me all the features it wouldnt stand a chance. But its really good for a daily. My yaris is at 300000km and i only change oil and the serpentine belt and i know corolla is a bit bigger so i know its good on reliability that being said. Dont compare a caddy to a Corolla. People like u love rant about luxury cars to daily drivers. Stop it. Atleast say its shit compare to a audi but not a Corolla for godsake
@@ACURACALABAR11 Carplay is free in all vehicles including most luxury vehicles. BMW was just ripping people off and they got so much shit that they stopped the fraud and don't charge anymore. You need to point out corporate tactics unless you want your rear abused. This isn't about cars or brands. This is straight up disrespect to the buyer for the sole purpose of getting easy cash. It's dirty and stains reputation of any brand, especially one as big as BMW.
Dual Volute is not twin scroll. It separates the pulses in a different way and thanks to the design is able to get the divider MUCH closer to the blades. That has the benefit of not allowing the pulses to combine and cause turbulence making for much improved boost response especially at the threshold. The reasoning behind the dual volute is in order to get better exhaust scavenging for better flow and therefore more power efficiency. It is similar to twin scroll but not the same thing. If anyone wants a better idea of how it works check out Engineering Explained he does a great job breaking down this turbo technology.
"Why didn't Cadillac just give me a full-on digital display?" Because GM has a parts bin full of old style gauges that the accountants running the place said must be used up regardless of what the competition does or what the public wants. GM = generally mediocre in all things.
Completely delusional especially when Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, Acura, Genesis, and Infiniti all use analog gauges. Why is it ok for everyone to save money except for GM? Why is General Motors always trolled when they don’t go the extra mile? I’m convinced GM is held to a higher standard than the rest and I kind of like that. But you guys sound like idiots sometimes.
@@mybro727 Lack of delusion is more to the point, as it would take completely forgetting the last 40 years to not be skeptical about GM. Lack of remembering that at least four of those brands you mentioned didn't even exist 40 years ago, but GM has since lost market share to all of them due to quality, performance, and design shortcomings. Did any on your competitor list require a bailout from their government to remain in business? Another low-water mark for GM. I'll offer you the benefit of doubt because perhaps your memory doesn't go back as far, but GM has earned suspicion and skepticism thru many decades of dubious performance and market share losses due to quality, performance, design, workmanship, engineering, and poor business practices. The only idiots are the guys who squandered market leadership and allowed competition to get the better of them. GM stands at or near the head of that class.
CrustyCurmudgeon I am fully aware of the bailout GM accepted over a decade ago and *paid back* EARLY. What exactly does that have to do with how this 2020 Cadillac CT4 stacks up against it’s competitors today in September of 2020? Absolutely NOTHING. It’s completely irrelevant to the topic here and only a delusional and illogical individual like yourself would argue anything otherwise. Although I’m pretty sure every company I just named has been making cars for at least forty years, it doesn’t matter since that’s not a requirement in order to compete in the industry against more established brands. Have you ever heard of a company called Tesla? I’m gonna give _you_ the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven’t because they certainly haven’t been around for 40 years but it seems they’ve figured out how to incorporate fully digital displays into their vehicles pretty fast...therefore neither Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai/Genesis, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, nor any other Cadillac competitor gets to use that excuse if Cadillac doesn’t. You’re delusional, simply put. Are we talking about GM losing market share or are we still talking about why Cadillac didn’t include a fully digital gauge cluster as standard equipment in the new CT4? It’s the same reason Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Audi, Genesis, etc. doesn’t. Furthermore your rant about it being from a GM parts bin is incorrect and void. These are actually brand new gauges that debuted on the 2019 XT4. Are you able to remain on one topic or are you just like every other irrational General Motors troll kicking, screaming, and crying about how they took a bailout that Mercedes-Benz didn’t need from the U.S. government that they’ve since paid back?? Smh get a life
@@mybro727 Ahh yes, personal attacks. When one runs out of debate responses, to the gutter we go! Were you not the one who stated the belief that GM is held to a higher standard than the others? All I did was raise valid examples of why anyone might be critical of them, and how they've run their business vs competitors that have and keep taking their market share. In 2000, they had about 28% of the US market. Now its about 17%. The simple fact is they're following so many other American companies who were once leaders and are now also-rans (Kodak anyone?). And that has everything to do with how this vehicle stacks up vs competitors in the eyes of buyers.
CrustyCurmudgeon Wrong. I was saying I’m convinced GM is held to a higher standard based on the way _you_ people criticize everything they do and don’t do. All the selective criticism with GM compared to many of their rivals. Cadillac’s criticized for not offering a fully digital gauge cluster and accused of playing a parts bin game when these gauges are brand new and aren’t found in any other GM makes outside the Cadillac brand. This has absolutely nothing to do with a bailout that took place back in 2008. People like you are just ignorant, don’t know the industry, don’t know the segment nor are you familiar with all the contenders that occupy this space. You’re trolling Cadillac because you’re upset with GM? You got a “2008 bailout” chocolate chip on your shoulder, it’s null & void, and I’m bored with it so Good day.
I think the car is great for what role it's supposed to fill, which is an entry to the caddy family at a lower price range. It missing a few bells and whistles here and there should be expected for what it is overall the great looking car, fast and clean interior.
I enjoy watching your videos but as i have watched more it just seems clear that you seem to have a bias to against American cars. You never completely hate them, but you have a very negative tone towards them. For instance to say that this is not a handsome car but the A class is, is just funny. The A class exterior is not attractive at all. I do agree the interior is plain in the Cadillac, however the actual materials are not any worse. You have the same issue Doug Demuro has when he is reviewing a sedan that is not a hundred thousand dollar car, he just goes through the motions and continually discusses that it is not an SUV. He has made it clear he does not like reviewing regular sedans through his tones and actions when he has to do one. You have the same issue when you review American cars. Your tone and interest level in the review is very different, almost dismissive as compared to German cars. I drive a 3 series so I get they are good cars, it was just an observation.

Aww sad to see so many negatives on Cadillac. I must be one of the few who decided to keep my car 100% American. I got rid of my loved 2015 bmw 428i xdrive gran coupe for a 2019 Cadillac CTS and I absolutely love my Cadillac. I’ve had it a year now and have not 1 regret. The handling, motor, and interior are all plenty good and in my honest opinion the interior of my Cadillac is miles ahead of my bmw now obviously my bmw was aging lol and I don’t review cars daily so I’m not in touch as most these reviewers who drive them daily, but I have no complaints.
I'm with you, Sam! I did the same a few years ago - swapped my MBZ for a Caddy. Never regretted my decision.
Can’t fathom anyone taking an A class over this.
The steering feel alone makes this car pretty solid.
RWD is a must if you enjoy driving.
And who cares what they call the car?
the iffy gearbox and interior would push me to an A class and the design too though i'd choose a cla if I could
yeah the name whining is just odd. But BMW and MB can abandon the logic of their naming conventions and no one notices or cares. Not buying a car because of the rear badging is one of the silliest things Ive heard.
@@yoink7806 the 10 speed was one of the few things he praised
@@shethjones4494 i think the complaints on cadillacs naming system is that Mercedes n bmw's are based on heritage but Cadillac (and audi too) simply did it to have 'big numbers' which makes no sense. as for the gearbox I've seen other reviewers who despise it and the premise of a gearbox like that just doesn't appeal to me nor will it other buyers.
yoink the new 10 speed is most certainly NOT an “iffy” gearbox.
I like it but the interior needs to be better. After the Escalade and Lyriq, I REFUSE to believe that GM can’t make a luxurious beautiful interior!!!! But in their defense, the CT5 and 4 are probably the last 2 new cadillacs to come with non regular names like the Escalade or Lyriq. But I love the design!
And you would be correct. Cadillac always does dumb shit like this. They'll have a nice exterior, then dumb ass the intetior. It's like they refuse to copy how the Germans do the exterior and interiors well AT THE SAME DAMN TIMEON THE SAME DAMN CAR.
@@LIL-MAN_theOG You are only going to get so much car for X dollars no matter who makes it. I would rather have a beautiful car with a reliable drive train and a minimalist interior that is comfortable and functional.
Well CT4 and CT5 came before the new Escalade and Lyriq. These new vehicles with nice interiors are pretty much the beginning of Johan de Nysschen era Cadillac. Too bad he's not there anymore.
Escalade starts around 80k. This starts at 33k. Could be one reason this isn't as luxurious
@@LIL-MAN_theOG like the 2 and 3 series? Those are luxurious?
It’s the 4 cylinder Camaro is what it really is.
With a much better motor.
Yup! Camaro on the Alpha ll platform with a back seat!
Better at 4cyl camaro-ing than the 4cyl camaro? Idts but i mean looks comfier. (2.0 t camaro)
Camaro makes a 4 cyl already
A turbo'd-4 Camero in Cadillac clothes on the alpha trim and a bigger backseat. I see no nothing wrong with this minus the lack of a manual trans.
It actually seems decent. The 3.6l v6 had timing chain and head gasket problems and the 8 speed was a clunky junker. The 10 speed is a good transmission and the 2.7l seems decent although the pumped in noise is overkill. It seems like Cadillac is learning from past mistakes gradually.
I leased a Jaguar XE supercharged 6 banger and it was an absolute joy to drive. I feel it's probably the most slept on car; unfortunately they got rid of the 6 cylinder in 2020. 50k MSRP but i knocked off 8k off the price.
He complains a lot about the sound - I think it sounds good. Journalists complain when cars make noise and then complain when they are too quiet for being boring
This car screams "rental" to me. I bet I'm gonna see this car in Enterprise's "luxury" fleet.
Screams parts bin chevy rental
Hard to take someone seriously when the profile pic is an asian cartoon
YES!!! I thought the same, it's just not wowing me at all
May surprise you but you can find most luxury cars at rental companies.My last rental at enterprise was a Audi Q7.So that’s not a negative against this car ,furthermore because the reviewer doesn’t like the engine/exhaust sound doesn’t mean that the viewers are in agreement because a like the sound.
@@bobbowie9350 it has almost no parts in common with chevies
I literally laughed when you were getting into the backseat saying, "holy crap".
I think you've been way too harsh on this car. "It doesn't wow me like a mercedes"....."try that in your front wheel drive mercedes", and it looks like a rental car? I think it looks great. It's one of the few brand cars that aren't hideously overstyled.
And YOU'RE THE VERY PERSON WHO ISN'T BUYING THIS EITHER
I agree. A mid-level A-class doesn't stand out any more than this mid-level CT4, and I actually think this car looks a little nicer. The interior on the other hand is a little boring (a 2-tone color scheme might help some instead of the plain charcoal/black color in this one).
Someone must’ve pissed in Sofyans Cheerios before this review. He’s laying it on them hard lol.
Yea, seems to forget this is going against the FWD mercs and BMW's which are also cheap feeling inside. But because it's Cadillac, it is highlighted constantly.
@@nsu300zx Yep, he's being biased against American brands. The CLA 35 AMG competes with the CT4 V which is 10-20K cheaper. His model is the standard luxury CT4 model.
This is his standard gm review. Except c8
He spilled tho this car was so meh
Literally
I think it's more like the trucks have a car engine
The power of a car engine with the noise and refinement of a truck engine.
Besides the Ecoboost 2.7L V6 being the far superior motor in both truck and car applications, Ford also never tried to pass off the Fusion Sport as a luxury sedan from an aspirational nameplate.
@@flightwriterNG they did but called it an mkz and bored it to 3.0 lol. There identical underneath. Fusion sport with another 1000lbs on this would still best it in a straight line 😂 should've gave it a ten speed
The engine was always going to be in this car. The corvette also has a "truck" engine
@@shethjones4494 That the 2.7L four-banger was "always going to be in this car" speaks to GM's laziness and ineptitude, not its intelligence or shrewd planning.
And there are many, many more differences between the Corvette's 6.2L V8 and the "truck" version than there are between the Silverado-spec 2.7L and this one.
Sofyan continues the Redline tradition here of being extremely critical of any car from a non-Asian make. Some things don't change I see.
The problem with the Tesla Model 3 is the crappy interior.
Agreed. I'm not really impressed with Tesla at all. The exterior design on their vehicles are awkward and unattractive, crappy interior (as you mentioned), and here in Vegas Tesla is getting kind of "douchey".
the awful build quality and the fact that people think they're luxury cars sends me
@@XZAKLY99 EXACTLY!!
I disagree, I think Tesla's interior is sleek and minimalist. The leather is plush and comfortable, large screen and autopilot is still the best in the industry. Ride and interior noise could be improved but it's outweighed by the performance, handling and convenience of a full tank every morning.
No, the REAL problem with ALL Tesla's is that they are Vacuums on 4 Wheels. GAME OVER !
First time I’ve actually preferred the look over some of its competitors, I don’t know why, it’s just gorgeous...
too bad it lacks in so many areas
He really loved the CTS V-Sport, so I’m anxious to see his review of the new CT5-V, which has garnered near universal praise. [not sure what his complaint is about the engine noise...sounded good to me for a 4 cylinder]
Same, it sounds more interesting to me than every other car which has a 2.0T. I want an engine that has a personality!
THE ACTUALLY DID MORE THAN MAKE A ATTEMPT !!! I DROVE ONE AND IT IS A VERY GOOD LUXURY SPORTS SEDAN !!!!
Damn, take a shot every time Sofyan says “LEDs” 2:16 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That change in Sofyan's expression at about 22 minutes 31 seconds reminds me a lot of the one I get when I unexpectedly notice a cop in my rear view mirror!
"Cadillac is supposed to be the world standard"
It's been like 60 years since that era. How many more decades of decline do we need for Cadillac before we give up on that line?
On top of that, this car screams to do something slightly different, like go hybrid.
Well don't look to Lexua to carry that torch today.
Meanwhile Cadillac has one more refresh of the current ICE vehocles before going BEV. Not many ICE manufacturers can say that today.
they did make a hybrid I believe it ends with something like 2.0 E
@@foam27 Cadillac should be making performance a thing for every powertrain combo. The 2.0E doesn't have that. This is basically destined to be a rental car and it shows in every way.
America does not need more of those stupid wind up cars
@@pontiacGXPfan What's a wind-up car? Do you know how ancient you sound? It's the saddest thing I've read on the internet in the last 20 minutes.
The CT-4 is a good compact RWD sedan with a strong engine. Cadillac could have given it some more luxury features though. Very interested in the Blackwing version.
I have been hearing the exact same comments about Cadillac my entire adult life: "It's a good car and ALMOST as good as the Germans, but not quite." Despite endless $billions GM has spent on Cadillac, they have yet to get it right. This sad CT4 is merely a restyled ATS with a slightly nicer interior. It's not even an all new car. I don't see who the buyer is for this car. The older buyers won't care about the RWD, and won't like the tiny trunk and rough engine. Younger buyers would want either a German car at this price, or a Tesla.
you should go back and check out the C&D 10BEst list in the years when the CTS and CTS-V sport made it. Then see if your assessment is accurate. You should also check out lighting lap and how the CTS V and ATS V performed vs their peers on a track.
So the Tesla Model 3 has a $20,000 advantage as it costs the same $50,000 price tag with all the nice options, but saves you that much in gasoline over its life. I am a big Cadillac fan, and own a CTS, but economically and from a performance perspective, Tesla Model 3 beats all the ICE competition.
Love it... Cadillac has lowered their bar so this car that's 1" longer than a 3 series, same size as a C class and an inch shorter than an A4 is supposed to compete with the much cheaper and less refined variants from the other manufacturers.
At one point they were saying the ct4 was going to be smaller than the ats and that sounded great, like a 2 series rival. When your small car is bigger than a 3 series, that's bullshit.
it does have smaller cabin space and trunk space tho. lol
Hahahaha so it went backwards 🤣 ATS was a 3 series rival now the CT4 is a 2 series rival ? Only GM 🤣
22:32 Smile went away so fast I thought a cop showed up🤣
0-60 in 5.1 seconds, with a 4cyl and weighs more than my Stinger. Not bad!
The Cadillac has more low end torque due to it having a 2.7l engine and it's a rwd instead an awd.
I disagree with your styling opinion. Mercedes design has become very bulbous and unattractive in the A class and Do you really the the BMW 2 series grand coupe looks better? I really feel that many automotive journalists are stuck with thinking Caddy is trash. They do deserve it to some extent, but I think they get criticized on things that get overlooked if the car had a German badge.
I will say I love your channel and enjoy your reviews! Keep up the great work!
I kind of agree... I think this car looks as good as anything else it competes with, but it's still kind of a letdown when you compare certain aspects to the Germans. At least GM seems to have priced it right.
I hate cars with upside down grills.
Cadillac changes their model designations, more often than I change my underwear!
You're nasty
ATX Trent 😂😂😂😭😭😭
The only thing i dont like is the sound, but it can be rectified by a simple mod to the intake. This is my next car in V form.
I’d rather have a v6 Camry...and it has adaptive cruise control on base model.
And in just a few years the resales about the same.
Lol, it just wouldn't be a redline review without the obligatory "Toyota/Kia is best" comment. Thanks for keep this channel in check.
Yeah, never fails. Pasty/Vanilla americans love their pasty/vanilla Toyonda sedans. Now move on.
Yup! I also prefer V6 to Twin Turbo. MY Toyota has 150K Miles and still running GREAT!
Sounds like someone who owns a Camry and is looking to validate their purchase, am I off the mark? Why else would anyone ever say "I'd rather have a Camry over X?" No one ever says this about any car. Ever. I've seen dishwashers more exciting than a Camry.
For a luxury car, I think a better base engine is a v6. Smoother. I wonder how much power people will squeeze out of that turbo with a tune.
Having lived with C.U.E. for years, it's not the monster people make it out to be when u actually live with it versus briefly testing it.
“...agricultural sound...”😂 That's a first!
He says the same thing about the engine in my 2013 veloster and the accent. 😂😂😂
Well, somebody loves the agricultural sound
He's being really harsh. It sounds good
I really don’t get the obsession with giant screens on the dashboard. My car has a 6” screen and it works just fine. The only way to please them is to put up a friggin 32” TV on the dash. Gee whiz!
he is obsessed with LED lights and huge screens. Nothing more is accomplished with a 10" or 12" screen, its just bigger for bragging rights. A 10in screen in this car would be nice, but in a small cabin the 8in isnt unreasonable. Whats funny is many of these "large" screens have narrow profiles with more stretched out aspect ratios....lexus and Genesis are doing this. 12 or 14 in screens that are only 5 in high.
Wow, Sofyan, you must have been in a bad mood when you recorded this video! "These hinges that crush onto your cargo" (what? the hinges have their own compartment), rear leg room less than a Honda Civic (what about the CLA @ 27"?). It just seemed that you had already made up your mind before you even started. Anyway, I usually really enjoy your reviews, e.g., your maniacal cackle when accelerating in the C8, great attention to detail and thorough reviews. Maybe we can blame this particular video on COVID...
he should have just passed on the car when Cadillac offered it. The cargo crushing comment was interesting. Also interesting was the comment about the "hard" leather.
I would have to agree with you here. I'm no big fan of Cadillac, but I think the exterior styling and interior design look great and are very class competitive. Normally, I think Sofyan does very objective reviews, but in this case it seemed the Caddy was doomed from the start. The engine sounded fine to me in the video. Maybe in person it is a different experience.
@@desimo147 because its a GM product trying to compete with german rivals
That rear seat legroom is a bummer though. 33 inches for backseats is tiny for the size of this vehicle.
This thing is a complete POS that's why. He was being nice. Go to Raiti and excusesgeese for lies.
Cadillac is not trying to copy the Germans approach with sedans anymore, they are pricing these well below the German competitors and doing their own thing now. It will be successful and the CT4/CT5 will sell well.
That tail kick though!
The asymmetry of those two knobs below the touchscreen would bother me every time I sat in that interior.
This car is a hot 🔥 mass come on Cadillac I've seen KIA cars look more luxurious than the CT4 . I like the out side but interior needs help Cadillac what are you all doing. Just get a whole new team 🤔
Cadillac has their sights set on all EVs by 2030, so they may be putting out less than stellar vehicles until then.
In my opinion Audi and Cadillac have the best light designs.
I like the looks...better than most
Me too. It doesn't make me say "wow" but it looks almost as nice as anything else it competes with to me.
I'm sure they will have plenty of them for your purchase. Plenty.. Hahahaha
4:30 those sure look like hinges with covers so they don't crush your cargo. 🤔
Looks like direct competition for the Infiniti Q50 not the A class , screen looks like that of a BMW, the shifter as well.
This review gave me anxiety. All you did was complain.
I came here for the “thunk”
“Premium luxury” package yet you get hardly any standard luxury equipment-no LED headlights, no sunroof, smaller wheels, etc. What does the base package have, manual windows and doors?
That new exterior is amazing! But that interior is just so “GM” so bland and sad for a luxury car :( Where is that over the top luxury old school Cadillac? On the bright side, that horrendous dashboard with the blue lighting and font is gone.
I appreciate Cadillac’s simple design language and layout for their dashboard. BMW, Mercedes, Audi all try and compete for touchscreen controls and it drives me nuts. Simplicity is fantastic. However, the turbo 4 is going to burn oil. It’ll need oil changes more often than recommended I guarantee that.
Huh? It's been like that for years, and it sucks. This is why they're failing.. They're putting cars out for people like you. This is a luxury segment, not Volvo
Francis Herrera how would I know that? I wouldn’t of said it otherwise. And which part are you referencing: the turbo 4 or the simplified design of the dashboard? Clearly, our reviewer stated that Cadillac changed the functionality of the dashboard.
9:38 The queen sis snapped out hunty! “Howeverrrrr” 😂 still love you tho! ❤️
I love this car. Love this little guy. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all. ;)
The upcoming Genesis G70 is expected to have a base engine 2.5t with around 300hp and it should be a less expensive and better option. Or get the twin turbo V6 option for around the same price and it also comes with a much better warranty, interior and features.
Yup. Easy decision
No way I buy a "manufactured", glorified Hyundai with NO pedigree.
Love this new style of video so much more! Keep up the good work!
I think it’s ridiculous they are branding the CT4 as a A3/A Class competitor when it’s the size of a 3 Series/C Class/A4. Let’s be real this is a 3 Series competitor just like the ATS was.
GM did that because they priced this to mirror the smaller A-class, 2-series, etc.
@@Stressless2023 Yes, that might be true, but also irrelevant. I could buy a Toyota Avalon for this PRICE, but that doesn't make it a competitor. This is a "compact luxury sport sedan". Not subcompact.
It looks like you mightve seen a cop at 22:30 with how serious you get all of a sudden lol
This vehicle is nice but the interior looks pretty bad. I expect this to be discontinued and replaced by a 2021 CTS.
Until you get inside, yeah.
I agree ☝️
Looks great...the sport with the 19” wheels must look awesome...
Raschaud Farmer They no longer make a Q40 LOL.....
Premium Luxury grade offers a Cinnamon interior. Now suck on that!
Thank god they got rid of that GM bong
After all these years and GM still can’t make a refined 4 cylinder.
717 flyer Achilles heel for sure. The turbo fours from BMW and Audi, among others, put this thing to shame.
Chevy got a good 4 banger in their Malibu 🤷🏽♂️. And dude unless you driven this car you can’t really know for sure if it’s bad by watching one guy talk about it
TTAMC C. Literally some of the worst 4 bangers in the industry, oil consumption,timing chain failures, pre ignition etc.
ryding with ryan well looking at my profile pic and how I described it I haven’t had a single list of the issues you claimed
TTAMC C. Awesome man, I really hope it treats you well. Oil changes every 3-5k will go a long way with most engines.
At first I thought the exterior styling looked really nice!
Then I saw the back end......
Outside looks really nice but I really dont like that interior
Agreed on the look. Front looks much better than the rear.
Thanks for the solid review, as always!
CT-6 = Fleetwood
XTS = Devil LE

Kinda brutal - and wrong - on the last one?

I would remove all badges with the exception of the Cadillac Crests.
God help us, a Cadillac where I'm not sure I could get my golf bags in the trunk.
However RWD is a big plus and if you can turn off the fake engine noise, that's a plus.
Lexus: “here’s the all new IS!”
Cadillac: “this is the all new CT4.”
Audi: “this is the slightly refreshed Q7” 😂
*Slightly ruined Q7
Tuners are salivating....bigger displacement 4 cyl gives lots of possibilities. Definitely an option worth considering over the 330i or Alfa.
Nice video! Can’t wait to see what else your reviewing!
I think Cadillac is targeting the lower end of the market with a value play via the CT4 and CT5 with the intention of getting people interested in the brand again since sales were so dismal the last few years...with the long term goal of moving back up towards the true premium luxury segment...rumor is that for 2021 they will be making certain key upgrades including full digital gauge cluster (optional), premium leather wrapped steering wheel, super cruise, wireless car play/android auto connection, etc. Personally I hope that the Mercedes-inspired gauges/dash setup in the 2021 Escalade will be put into the sedans
I agree, if they can somehow put Escalade interior or at least the oled digital gauge cluster in sedans, that would be game changing
@@carsandpassions9116 Agreed. interiors on the CT4 and CT5 just arent up to par with Audi, BMW, Mercedes, or even Volvo
If this was a Chevrolet Malibu, I would be impressed.
I've always thought that Cadillac represented what Chevy should be.
It's not that the Americans can't make decent cars it's that they can't do so as inexpensively as the Japanese. So they sell their halfway decent cars as luxury vehicles. In Japan we call this car a Honda Accord.
Seems like Cadillac needed a quick fix and grabbed whatever engine was on the shelf. They should have refined it more for themselves.
Too bad this will probably be another bomb by GM... falling apart in a few years - unlike the classic Cadillac brand, making those cars which was like driving your living room couch down the street in true luxury, shitty mileage, but yet last forever.
For a second i thought it was registered with NY TLC plates. Id make sure I’m near it every time i summon a uber/lyft haha
If they put their base 5.3 liter V8 truck engine in this thing, I bet it becomes a good seller with enthusiast crowd. As is, take a hard pass.
Why would they put that big of a V8 in a smaller car like this? Just go for the CT5 or CT6 if you want a V8.
Look at that engine bay. The 4 cylinder barely fits.
MN Mikha the question is why not? We always ask why would they do that when it would actually sell. Brands always have an excuse now when talking about a v8. No wonder cars are selling. I don’t want to have to buy a pickup truck I don’t need in order to get a v8 and I don’t want another crappy turbo 4 cylinder
@@devn3813 That's why there is the CT5 and CT6.
MN Mikha there is no v8 in the ct5
Similar output to the 3.6L V6 in the ATS with much better fuel economy!
This vehicle will be discontinued in under three months.
Exactly. They need to stop wasting money with all their corporate tax handouts. They need to build a good affordable sports sedan.
I can’t wait for you to do a review on the Cadillac CT5 Because I’m thinking about buying one I have a CTS 2014 luxury collection V6
i mean you can more or less predict what he will say. Handles well, not as nice as a german car, too expensive for a cadillac, nice but not as good as the CTS-V, no full digital dash, 10.2 in screen not large enough, etc. Oh and Bose is nice but not as good a a german sound system
Pretty sad when adaptive cruise control is standard on a base Toyota Corolla and yet still optional on this nearly $45,000 Cadillac!
Mark Goguen when you brand it ‘super cruise’ you charge... i guess
A corolla could come with every thing in the book. Its drive like crap, sounds like crap and inside is cheap. So if they didnt give me all the features it wouldnt stand a chance. But its really good for a daily. My yaris is at 300000km and i only change oil and the serpentine belt and i know corolla is a bit bigger so i know its good on reliability that being said. Dont compare a caddy to a Corolla. People like u love rant about luxury cars to daily drivers. Stop it. Atleast say its shit compare to a audi but not a Corolla for godsake
Remember BMW charged 100$ a year for apple carplay which economy boxes at 16k offered free of charge.
@@xFlared got to pay to play 😀
@@ACURACALABAR11 Carplay is free in all vehicles including most luxury vehicles. BMW was just ripping people off and they got so much shit that they stopped the fraud and don't charge anymore. You need to point out corporate tactics unless you want your rear abused. This isn't about cars or brands. This is straight up disrespect to the buyer for the sole purpose of getting easy cash. It's dirty and stains reputation of any brand, especially one as big as BMW.
The 2021 S3 will blow this away in the interior. If I go that small I'll take the S3 for a similar price for the v.
this thing suppose to go against c class and 3 series as its rwd platform and 4.6 m long
Wow I love this Cadillac did a great job
I think it sounds good!
Dual Volute is not twin scroll. It separates the pulses in a different way and thanks to the design is able to get the divider MUCH closer to the blades. That has the benefit of not allowing the pulses to combine and cause turbulence making for much improved boost response especially at the threshold. The reasoning behind the dual volute is in order to get better exhaust scavenging for better flow and therefore more power efficiency. It is similar to twin scroll but not the same thing.
If anyone wants a better idea of how it works check out Engineering Explained he does a great job breaking down this turbo technology.
"Why didn't Cadillac just give me a full-on digital display?" Because GM has a parts bin full of old style gauges that the accountants running the place said must be used up regardless of what the competition does or what the public wants. GM = generally mediocre in all things.
Completely delusional especially when Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, Acura, Genesis, and Infiniti all use analog gauges. Why is it ok for everyone to save money except for GM? Why is General Motors always trolled when they don’t go the extra mile? I’m convinced GM is held to a higher standard than the rest and I kind of like that. But you guys sound like idiots sometimes.
@@mybro727 Lack of delusion is more to the point, as it would take completely forgetting the last 40 years to not be skeptical about GM. Lack of remembering that at least four of those brands you mentioned didn't even exist 40 years ago, but GM has since lost market share to all of them due to quality, performance, and design shortcomings. Did any on your competitor list require a bailout from their government to remain in business? Another low-water mark for GM. I'll offer you the benefit of doubt because perhaps your memory doesn't go back as far, but GM has earned suspicion and skepticism thru many decades of dubious performance and market share losses due to quality, performance, design, workmanship, engineering, and poor business practices. The only idiots are the guys who squandered market leadership and allowed competition to get the better of them. GM stands at or near the head of that class.
CrustyCurmudgeon I am fully aware of the bailout GM accepted over a decade ago and *paid back* EARLY. What exactly does that have to do with how this 2020 Cadillac CT4 stacks up against it’s competitors today in September of 2020? Absolutely NOTHING. It’s completely irrelevant to the topic here and only a delusional and illogical individual like yourself would argue anything otherwise.
Although I’m pretty sure every company I just named has been making cars for at least forty years, it doesn’t matter since that’s not a requirement in order to compete in the industry against more established brands. Have you ever heard of a company called Tesla? I’m gonna give _you_ the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven’t because they certainly haven’t been around for 40 years but it seems they’ve figured out how to incorporate fully digital displays into their vehicles pretty fast...therefore neither Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai/Genesis, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, nor any other Cadillac competitor gets to use that excuse if Cadillac doesn’t. You’re delusional, simply put.
Are we talking about GM losing market share or are we still talking about why Cadillac didn’t include a fully digital gauge cluster as standard equipment in the new CT4? It’s the same reason Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Audi, Genesis, etc. doesn’t. Furthermore your rant about it being from a GM parts bin is incorrect and void. These are actually brand new gauges that debuted on the 2019 XT4.
Are you able to remain on one topic or are you just like every other irrational General Motors troll kicking, screaming, and crying about how they took a bailout that Mercedes-Benz didn’t need from the U.S. government that they’ve since paid back?? Smh get a life
@@mybro727 Ahh yes, personal attacks. When one runs out of debate responses, to the gutter we go! Were you not the one who stated the belief that GM is held to a higher standard than the others? All I did was raise valid examples of why anyone might be critical of them, and how they've run their business vs competitors that have and keep taking their market share. In 2000, they had about 28% of the US market. Now its about 17%. The simple fact is they're following so many other American companies who were once leaders and are now also-rans (Kodak anyone?). And that has everything to do with how this vehicle stacks up vs competitors in the eyes of buyers.
CrustyCurmudgeon Wrong. I was saying I’m convinced GM is held to a higher standard based on the way _you_ people criticize everything they do and don’t do. All the selective criticism with GM compared to many of their rivals. Cadillac’s criticized for not offering a fully digital gauge cluster and accused of playing a parts bin game when these gauges are brand new and aren’t found in any other GM makes outside the Cadillac brand. This has absolutely nothing to do with a bailout that took place back in 2008. People like you are just ignorant, don’t know the industry, don’t know the segment nor are you familiar with all the contenders that occupy this space. You’re trolling Cadillac because you’re upset with GM? You got a “2008 bailout” chocolate chip on your shoulder, it’s null & void, and I’m bored with it so Good day.
I think the car is great for what role it's supposed to fill, which is an entry to the caddy family at a lower price range. It missing a few bells and whistles here and there should be expected for what it is overall the great looking car, fast and clean interior.
I enjoy watching your videos but as i have watched more it just seems clear that you seem to have a bias to against American cars. You never completely hate them, but you have a very negative tone towards them. For instance to say that this is not a handsome car but the A class is, is just funny. The A class exterior is not attractive at all. I do agree the interior is plain in the Cadillac, however the actual materials are not any worse. You have the same issue Doug Demuro has when he is reviewing a sedan that is not a hundred thousand dollar car, he just goes through the motions and continually discusses that it is not an SUV. He has made it clear he does not like reviewing regular sedans through his tones and actions when he has to do one. You have the same issue when you review American cars. Your tone and interest level in the review is very different, almost dismissive as compared to German cars. I drive a 3 series so I get they are good cars, it was just an observation.
This channel deserve deserves much more subscribers excellent review as always.
