FIRST LOOK: The CT5-V Blackwing getting some big changes for 2025. On the outside you will notice a wider grill, new front fascia and lighting. On the inside you will be welcomed by 33in of screen. Under the hood is a 6.2L supercharged V8 mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Is the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing the BEST new luxury PERFORMANCE sedan?

I'm one of the biggest GM haters out there and I'd still have to admit this is up there on the top-tier sports sedan list. I can't believe they built it, but I'm glad they did.

Can we talk about how several brands are copying their design language and no one talks about it? Soyfan of Redline Reviews was like the only person on the internet to even whisper about how Kia has adopted both these folks exterior _and_ interior design language, amongst so many others. Since 2021 Escalade has dropped there has been so many manufacturers that have switched to long horizontally integrated *curved* displays now. These people do NOT get their due credit AT ALL. Lol

This one is more curved, has rounded corners, and more importantly is one continuous screen image versus being 2 individual screens under one panel of glass. Plus, every company is doing this wide dual screen look for the digital display and infotainment system. There's no copying going on.

Great review Raiti! I always enjoy your enthusiasm and videos! I think the 2022-24 CT5-V Blackwing has a more aggressive and better looking front end. If I'm dropping over $100k on a car, I want to be able to look back at it after I park and as I'm walking away at least like what I see. Yes, styling is subjective but breaking up the smooth flowing front grill with black plastic on each side and reverting back to the old CT6 vertical headlights with a single LED strip does not look right to me. Just my $0.02. I love the car but I would get a 2024.
