Deciding between various midsize luxury sedans can be a challenge when you aren't sure how they stack up against one another.

Continue reading to get the full scoop, then meet with our team for a test run.

Performance

When comparing two rides, how they perform can determine which to choose. Fortunately, the 2024 CT5 is off to a good start with the standard 2.0L twin-scroll turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which pumps out 237 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. If you are leaning towards the 2023 C-Class after finding out that its standard 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder system cranks out 255 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque, you'll want to go with the Cadillac sedan's available 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 powertrain. This upgrade will put you in command of 335 horsepower and 405 lb.-ft. of torque, so venturing down Ogden Avenue won't be a challenge. Furthermore, the CT5's 10-speed automatic transmission is a clear choice over the Mercedes-Benz's 9-speed automatic setup.

Safety

To balance out all of the aforementioned verve, the 2024 Cadillac CT5 proudly displays a lengthy list of safety features you're sure to find useful. For example, the standard LED Reflective Windshield Collision Alert¹ can activate when a possible frontal impact is detected with a red flash on your windshield, so you won't be able to miss the signs. Teen Driver is standard, which will be ideal for when you've got younger family members learning how to navigate their way through Naperville. You can also spring for the available Super Cruise² package, lending semi-autonomous steering on compatible roads for stress-free travel. If you're curious about the 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, you'll be disappointed to learn that this model doesn't have any of the previously stated features.

Exterior

The Cadillac CT5 is desired for its outer shell, so let us tell you about some key design aspects you'll be happy to have. First up is the optional clear taillamps, which add a unique look that will have all eyes on you as you pull up to Naperbrook Golf Course. If you encounter messy or muddy conditions when going about your regular travels, you'll appreciate the extra protection that the available front and rear splash guards provide. The Mercedes Benz C-Class doesn't have either of these add-ons. We understand the need to stand tall and proud above your competition, so we're confident you'll choose the CT5's optional 20-inch wheels over the C-Class' available 19-inch set. We hope you'll visit our location soon to see the Cadillac ride in person.
