Cadillac's semi-autonomous sedan
The 2020 Cadillac CT5 is an all-new sedan that's set to get better with age, says chief engineer Brandon Vivian, with upgrades to its Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver aid.
Cadillac unveiled the performance versions of its new CT4 compact sedan back in the spring and has now taken the wraps off the mainstream models of its upcoming compact sedan.

The follow-up to the discontinued ATS is roughly the same size as its predecessor and set to compete against the likes of the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class.

Along with all of the suspected high tech equipment – the Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, automatic emergency brakes, HD reverse camera, etc. – the CT4 will feature Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-off driving aid. Cadillac advertises it as such for divided highway driving, where cameras, sensors GPS and 3D maps allow to steer the vehicle within a lane, as a facial recognition system makes sure the driver has their eyes on the road even if their hands and feet are off the wheels and pedals.
Pricing and the production start date for the CT4 were not announced, but Cadillac said the order books will be open by the end of the year.
