2023 CT4 Interior

According to Cadillac, the CT4's interior is driver-oriented and big enough for five people. However, while the exterior dimensions suggest the Cadillac CT4 is bigger than a 3 Series, inside, the cabin is sized more in line with the subcompact 2 Series Gran Coupe, meaning rear space is severely compromised despite the substantial exterior footprint.

This aside, the design is a big step up for Cadillac. The most prominent internal feature is the eight-inch touchscreen on top of the center console. There are standard features aplenty, LED interior lighting with a stealth mode, and standard leatherette upholstery. In terms of design, the CT4's interior is very BMW-like. It's pretty apparent where Caddy's inspiration came from, and we don't think that's a bad thing.

Seating and Interior Space

The CT4 is a five-seater sedan, but while it may seem large on the outside, inside it's rather cramped. Front passengers are treated to 42.4 inches of legroom and 38.3 inches of headroom. Things are less rosy for the rear passengers, demonstrating the effects of the smaller wheelbase. While the Caddy is longer than the 3 Series in terms of length, the German easily beats the American when it comes to rear passenger space. Rear passengers get nearly 10 inches less legroom than front passengers. Measuring in at 33.4 inches, coupled to 36.5 inches of headroom, six-footers are going to have a problem getting comfortable. Still, the CT4 is on par with its smaller rivals. Merc's CLA offers 33.9 inches of leg space while the Audi A3 Sedan leads the pack with 35.1 inches.

Interior Colors and Materials

Cadillac interiors used to be a prime example of cost-cutting. You could see and feel why they sold for so much cheaper than imported vehicles. While the interior is still below Audi levels of quality, it is a massive improvement over the ATS sedan, not just in terms of materials but overall usability.

Inteluxe synthetic leatherette seats are standard in the Luxury trim, available in Jet Black and Whisper Beige with Jet Black accents. The Sport's only no-cost option is Jet Black leatherette, but two $1,500 leather options are available: Jet Black and Sangria, both with Jet Black accents, although these compel the Climate package too, for a total outlay of $2,700.

Premium Luxury derivatives come with genuine leather in three color options: Jet Black, Whisper Beige, and Cinnamon, all three with Jet Black accents. Take note that some paint colors preclude some interior colors; for example, the Wave paintwork is not available with the Cinnamon upholstery, so you'll have to check the configurator for your desired combination.

The standard metal dash trim looks sensational, and on the Sport trim, you get magnesium paddles with which to take control of the gearbox, and alloy pedal covers.

2023 CT4 Trunk and Cargo Space

According to Cadillac, the CT4 has 10.7 cubes of cargo capacity, which is the bottom of the class. The Mercedes CLA boasts 11.6 cubic feet, while the Audi A3 Sedan offers 12.3 cubes. The Caddy's rear seats can fold flat in a 60/40 split, increasing storage capacity at the expense of passenger seating capacity.

Interior storage space is ample for front passengers, consisting of dual cupholders, storage space underneath the center armrest, and space for two phones in the center console. Rear passengers get dual cupholders housed in the fold-down seatback of the center seat.

2023 CT4 Infotainment and Features

Features

Cadillac includes a lot of features as standard across the range. The entry-level Luxury trim comes standard with power front seats (12-way driver, eight-way passenger), keyless entry and start, remote start, rear parking sensors, cruise control, a digital compass, dual-zone climate control, a manual tilt-and-telescoping steering column, paddle shifters, a configurable dual-display driver-information system in the instrument cluster, a wireless charging pad, and a rearview camera.

Higher trims of the 2023 CT4 add LED interior lighting, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, 14- or 18-way power-adjustable front seats with memory settings, rear park assist, magnesium paddle shifters, and a universal home remote. The Sport and Premium Luxury are nearly the same, but the Sport takes a sportier approach, naturally, while the Premium Luxury does what it says on the box with additional lumbar adjustment for front occupants and shinier decor.

All trims can be upgraded with items like a power moonroof and a heated steering wheel and seats. The two upper-tier models can be upgraded with additional packages and standalone options, including items like ventilated seats, a digital gauge cluster, adaptive cruise control, and driver assists like front parking sensors, a surround-view monitor, and a head-up display.

Infotainment

The Cadillac User Experience (CUE) infotainment system's centerpiece is an eight-inch touchscreen interface with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also comes with Bluetooth connectivity, two USB ports, HD Radio, and the ability to create a 4G hotspot. All models come with an eight-speaker sound system, but a 14-speaker Bose surround sound system is available. A wireless charging pad is standard on all models. If you want a little more added functionality, an upgraded CUE system is available to all with added navigation, while exclusive to the Premium Luxury, a central rotary controller means you never have to put fingerprints on the touchscreen again.
