Cadillac Ct5-V Blackwing Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The CT5-V Blackwing is the top-performance version of Cadillac's CT5 sedan. For 2026 there are two price points in the data: the regular car and a Curated by Cadillac edition described as hand-built. Prices have also moved up in recent years, so a quote for an older model year will not match the current one.

This page separates the 2026 figures from earlier model years and from option prices on a 2022 test car, because mixing them gives a misleading total.

The starting price for the 2026 Blackwing is $102,795. The Curated by Cadillac edition, which is hand-built, is $158,000. That puts the special edition well above the regular car, so decide early whether the Curated version is what you are shopping for. If it is, ask the dealer about lead time and how the order works, since a hand-built car may not be on a lot.

Both numbers come from Car and Driver. Confirm whether they include the destination charge on Cadillac's website, because the source does not label them either way here, and a destination fee would be added to a sticker.

The price has moved with each model year.

The 2022 base price was $87,090, and the 2025 MSRP was $95,595. The 2026 starting price of $102,795 is higher than both. These figures come from different sources, so differences in how each source treats freight or trim may account for part of the gap.

If you are comparing a used Blackwing to a new one, check the model year and the options on each car. Original prices only tell you what a car cost when new, not what it is worth now.

The extras listed here were priced on a 2022 test car, so treat them as a guide to how options stack up and not as current pricing:

• Carbon-ceramic brakes were listed at $9,000.
• Carbon-Fiber package 1 was listed at $4,100.
• The 10-speed automatic was listed at $2,275.

Option availability, names, and prices can change by model year, and some features may be standard now. Use Cadillac's build tool for the current list.

New Cadillacs carry a destination charge on the window sticker, and it comes on top of MSRP. The data above does not give a figure for the Blackwing, so get the exact amount from Cadillac's configurator or your dealer.

The Blackwing is a low-volume performance car, and some dealers have sold such cars above sticker. Any markup is the dealer's choice and is negotiable. Ask for an itemized quote that lists MSRP, destination, taxes, and dealer charges separately, and get quotes from more than one dealer. Allocation of the Curated edition may be limited, so ask your dealer how it is ordered.

• Insurance. High-performance sedans often cost more to insure. Get a quote for the specific car.
• Fuel. Check fueleconomy.gov for official ratings, and ask which grade of gasoline Cadillac recommends.
• Tires and brakes. Performance tires and brakes wear faster and cost more to replace than those on a typical sedan.
• Maintenance and warranty. Ask about service intervals and warranty coverage before you sign.
• Registration and taxes. These depend on your state and on the price.

Payments depend on credit, term, and down payment. Cadillac sometimes publishes incentives, but offers on performance models are uncommon and change. Check current offers on Cadillac's website and with your dealer. For personal financial advice, consult a licensed professional.
