With the 2022 model Cadillacs getting ready to roll out, the wait for the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is coming to an end. The Blackwing series will conclude with this model, and all Cadillac enthusiasts are ready to get their hands on their own before the sun sets, and a new series begins in 2023. When you arrive at the dealership for your test drive, there are a few key features that you need to keep in mind on the 2022 CT5-V Blackwing.
6.2 Supercharged Engine in the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
That's right. The sedan has it all under the hood with one of the most powerful V8s on the market. This gas-powered engine is one of the fastest in its class. Further, the 668 horsepower found in these engines can hit 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds. These engines have active fuel management while traveling daily and direct injection. Performance Traction Management is also found in these engines. Thus, allowing them to remain stable and give the driver control over the Blackwing even at the highest speeds.
Choose Your Transmission
When you purchase your 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, choose between either manual or automatic transmission. The manual transmission comes with a 6-speed transmission. Cadillac manual transmissions have the ARM installed so that the engine speed aligns with the intended gear. There is also the no-lift shift, so drivers cannot lay off the gas when changing gears.
The automatic transmission has a 10-speed transmission that is electronically controlled with Electronic Precision Shift. Feel comfortable getting up to speed and slowing down knowing that you have leading innovation at the tip of your fingers. These 10 speeds allow the engine to shift and change easily as you get up to speed.
Luxury Interior
The interior of your Cadillac Blackwing is just as important as the exterior. The sleek black interior with an optional red seat belt color screams quality and demands appreciation from the Cadillac brand. To perform at your maximum potential, you need seats that can adjust to your preference, which is why the Blackwing is loaded with performance-based bucket seats. The trim is also wrapped in suede to give you the leading level of comfort expected with a Cadillac. Choose to have either premium, all-weather, or cargo floor mats in your Cadillac to protect the interior.
While inside the cabin of your Cadillac Blackwing, you can enjoy a cleaner air quality thanks to the cabin air ionizer. This ionizer eliminates any odors that may want to come into the cabin from the outside. Plus, it keeps the inside smelling fresh and fragrant during your travels.
Safety Options in the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
Performance is not the only feature you can expect with your new Cadillac. Your Cadillac Blackwing does come with leading safety options such as the following:
- Buckle to Drive
- Rear Pedestrian Alert
- Automatic Parking Assist with Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control
Buckle to Drive
Buckling your seat belt is required before you can drive the Cadillac. Seatbelts save lives. With the power found in your Blackwing, this is another way to instill the importance of safety in the model for our drivers. You can still use the automatic start to turn on the engine, but you will not be able to move out of park in your Cadillac until the seatbelt is hooked.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
Some of the highways you may travel with your Cadillac are full of pedestrians attempting to cross the road. With the rear pedestrian alert, you quickly detect someone in your path and have time to stop or move out of the way. Because it needs visibility, this feature works best during the day, during your daily commutes, and also while you are in reverse. This feature is also beneficial in well-lit areas at night while traveling.
Automatic Parking Assist With Braking
Trying to park in heavy traffic areas is a situation that many Cadillac customers find themselves in. With automatic parking assist, the sensors on your Cadillac Blackwing seek out a parking space to assist you. Your Cadillac will steer itself during this process, and you will be told when to shift gears. The goal is to get your Cadillac safely in a parking space that will not cause your sedan to be hit or damaged while parked. If at any point you think you need to take over, you can override the system and manage the parking yourself.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Our Cadillac Blackwing models come equipped with the adaptive cruise control feature that allows you to maintain the comfort of cruise control but alerts you when you need to brake and take over as the driver. We want our Cadillac owners to enjoy maintaining cruise control when they purchase the Blackwing safely.
