2020 Cadillac CT4-V: Fast and engaging but not too luxurious

Once again, Cadillac hits near the bullseye but falls short of delivering an A+ performance.

Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

The 2020 Cadillac CT4-V is a handsome luxury sports sedan.

Regrettably, this car's interior is nothing special.

The CT4-V's face is quite handsome.

The backseat is just barely spacious enough to be livable.

This car's brake calipers can be had in red or blue for $595 extra.

Under the hood is a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine borrowed from the Chevrolet Silverado truck.

This powerplant delivers 325 horses and 380 pound-feet of torque. It's also shockingly smooth for such a big four-cylinder.

The CT4-V has a perky, upturned rear.

You can clearly see the ATS lineage in this new Cadillac model.
