A Cadillac that defies stereotypes
With its agile handling and engaging feel, the CT4-V Blackwing defies Cadillac stereotypes. Along with its bigger sibling, the CT5-V Blackwing, the CT4-V Blackwing established a new tier of performance above the standard Cadillac V-Series when it arrived as a 2022 model. This September, you can lease this capable sports sedan for $1,014 a month (before taxes and fees) for 48 months with a $3,500 down payment and 10,000 miles per year.
The Cadillac 2025 CT4-V Blackwing lease deal

Cadillac is in the midst of its model-year changeover, and while this lease deal applies to 2026 models, the monthly rate for a 2025 model is basically the same—$1,031. However, it might be harder to find a 2025 model in the configuration you want, as you’ll likely be restricted to whatever is left on dealer lots. Cadillac also offers more mileage and shorter lease terms, but the longer-term, low-mileage lease is generally the best deal from this automaker.
All lease rates listed by automakers do not include taxes or any other fees that leasing a given vehicle may incur, and offers may vary by region. We recommend entering your zip code into the current offers page on Cadillac’s website to most accurately estimate a payment.
More about the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing

In place of the turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine used in the CT4-V, the Blackwing has a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 that produces 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. The Blackwing is also available only with rear-wheel drive, but offers a choice of 10-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmissions.
Cadillac quotes some impressive performance figures, including a zero to 60 mph time of 3.9 seconds with the automatic (4.1 seconds with the manual), a 189-mph top speed, maximum lateral grip of 1.04g, and a best lap time of 2:52.5 around the roughly four-mile Grand Course at Virginia International Raceway (VIR). But even if you’re not turning hot laps, the CT4-V Blackwing is incredibly satisfying to drive on a favorite back road, and it won’t guzzle fuel quite as quickly as its V8-powered CT5-V Blackwing sibling.
Final thoughts
Differences between the 2025 and 2026 models are limited to a new performance steering wheel and an available Driver Assist Package for automatic-transmission models, so it doesn’t really matter what you go with. While it’s not exactly cheap to lease, the Blackwing is a true driver’s car. It’s one of the last cars available with a manual transmission, costs less than a BMW M3, and is less complicated than a Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance. With the CT4-V Blackwing, Cadillac has struck a sweet spot in the sports sedan segment.
