Cadillac is not the powerhouse it once was, but it still makes some noteworthy cars, like the CT4-V Blackwing. This luxury compact sport sedan has an eye-popping price to match its performance. Here’s what you get with a fully loaded 2024 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing.

The 2024 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is not cheap 

Cadillac starts the 2024 CT4-V Blackwing at $61,495. It packs a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, harnessing 472 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a six-speed manual transmission.

It also has an 8.0-inch HD color information display, two USB ports, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and GM’s Teen Driver system. Advanced driver-assistance features include front and rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning, and lane change alert with side blind zone alert.

How much does a fully loaded 2024 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing cost?

As awesome as the 2024 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing already is, available packages take this high-performance CT4 model to a new level. You’ll be shocked at how much you’ll get, although the final price might leave you lightheaded. 

The optional 10-speed automatic transmission costs $2,275. And the most expensive paint job is the Black Diamond Tricoat for $1,994. Then there are 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels with a Tech Bronze finish for $1,500. And the bronze accent package adds bronze wheel center caps, decals, and black wheel nuts for $1,395.

Cadillac also offers various interior packages for the 2024 CT4-V Blackwing. Buyers can get upgraded features such as ventilated driver and front passenger seats, a high-performance steering wheel, jet-black leather seating surfaces with mini-perforated custom quilted inserts, and sueded front seatbacks for $4,900. And a climate package provides front-row lumbar massage seats with ventilation for $5,500.

Extras such as Torch Red seat belts add another $400, and a sueded microfiber steering wheel and shift knob cost $300.

Other options and accessories include a front carbon fiber splitter ($6,150), rocker moldings with extensions ($4,450), a front license plate bracket ($15), a battery protection package ($195), an interior protection package ($295), black mirror caps ($195), a glossy black V-badging nameplate ($250), a power sunroof ($1,050), and an enclosed shipping carrier ($3,400).

Adding up all those extras, plus a $1,395 destination charge, comes to $93,050 for a fully loaded 2024 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing.

What are the key differences between the 2024 and 2023 models?

Unless an auto manufacturer makes a major update, there isn’t a significant difference between model years. There might be a few refreshes to keep consumers interested, but nothing considerable. Sometimes, the only change might be a new exterior color option. 

But the one difference you can always count on is the sticker price, which will almost always be higher for the newer model. The 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing starts at $60,995. That’s $500 cheaper than the 2024 model. However, both have the same 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with the same power output.

Expect several different exterior color options, though. For example, the 2023 model’s options include Electric Blue, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Blaze Orange Metallic. They aren’t available for the 2024 model, which offers new colors such as Coastal Blue Metallic, Velocity Red, and Cyber Yellow Metallic.

The 2023 V-Series also has three limited track editions commemorating Cadillac Racing wins. They are the Sebring IMSA Edition, Watkins Glen IMSA Edition, and Road Atlanta IMSA Edition.
