Where To Buy a Cadillac CT5 in Williamsville, NY
The 2026 Cadillac CT5 is the last traditional rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan from a legacy American automaker, coming in two different trim levels:

Our team at Cappellino Cadillac has created a guide to cover each trim's specs, pricing, packages, safety systems, and technology to help you choose the right one for you. There's no better place to find your ideal sedan than at our Cadillac dealership in Williamsville, NY.
Which 2026 CT5 Trim is Right For Me?
Exterior Design
Cadillac's current design language centers on clean, vertical LED lighting signatures, and the CT5 wears that identity with precision. Vertical LED headlamps and tail lamps are standard across the lineup, joined by IntelliBeam automatic high beams on the Premium Luxury trim. The Sport trim distinguishes itself further with:
- Performance-aero black mesh grille
- Neutral-density gray-tinted taillamps
- Body-color rear spoiler
- Black window moldings with rocker extensions
These details give the Sport a noticeably darker, more athletic stance.
Performance
The Premium Luxury and Sport share a 2.0L twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission. At 26 MPG combined, this engine suits the daily commute between Williamsville and downtown Buffalo efficiently.
Cabin Comfort and Cargo Space
Every CT5 seats five passengers and offers around 12 cu ft of trunk space, enough for a weekend's worth of gear for a trip to Reinstein Woods or a full grocery run after stopping at Walden Galleria. The rear seat is split-folding, which extends cargo versatility when fewer passengers are aboard. Standard interior appointments on the Premium Luxury include:
- Leather seating surfaces with MINI-perforated inserts
- Heated and ventilated front seats with a massaging function
- Eight-way power adjustment with four-way power lumbar
- Heated leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- 126-color LED ambient interior lighting
- Driver memory settings for the seat, mirrors, and steering column
The Sport possesses additional amenities to enhanced comfort, such as:
- Inteluxe synthetic seating surfaces
- Genuine carbon fiber interior trim accents
- Alloy sport pedals
- 18-way power front seat configuration that includes power lumbar, power seatback bolsters, and manual cushion length adjustment
Technology
A 33-inch diagonal curved advanced LED Horizon Display is standard across the CT5 lineup, acting as one of the largest integrated infotainment screens in the segment. This single continuous panel combines the instrument cluster and the central touchscreen into one sweeping surface, making it easy to read navigation and vehicle data at a glance during a commute. It also boasts Google Built-In compatibility, giving access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play Store natively through the vehicle's interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are other additions, as is wireless phone charging and 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Both trims also have access to an available Technology Package, including a suite of upgrade including:
- Head-Up Display
- Digital Rear Camera Mirror with tilt and zoom
- Adaptive Forward Lighting
- LED headlamps with automatic leveling
- LED front cornering lamps
- Pollutant and odor cabin air filter with an air quality sensor
- Power-folding heated outside mirrors with driver-side auto-dimming
- Illuminating front sill plates with the Cadillac crest logo
- Illuminating door handles
- Hands-free decklid release
Safety and Driver Assistance Features
The CT5's standard safety suite is extensive, with Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology coming standard, allowing hands-free driving on compatible mapped highways. This is a genuine benefit on longer runs toward downtown Buffalo, which aid in dramatically reducing driver fatigue. Other safety benefits include:
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- Forward Collision Alert and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
