ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Cadillac CT5 With V6?
The 2024 Cadillac CT5 with V6 posts an 88/100 Safety Index, a two-point step down from the 2023 model's 90/100 rating. This year's CT5 does not clear the threshold for the highest band. The primary reason for this decline is the avoidance technology score, which stands at only 2 out of 10. This reflects the specific mix of standard and optional forward collision warning and lane departure warning systems credited for this configuration. Crash protection remains strong, contributing 70 out of 70 points, anchored by consecutive 5-star results in side and rollover testing. The defect record adds 16.25 out of 20, a solid contribution supported by a clean recall slate. The two NHTSA complaints, while low in volume, include alleged serious outcomes tied to Air Bags and Structure. These components warrant monitoring as the vehicle ages into the used market.
