General Motors unveiled the 2025 Cadillac CT5 in September at the 2023 Detroit Auto Show, pulling the sheets on a mid-cycle refresh that includes new tech features, more standard safety items, and, as expected, new styling. The new styling seen on the 2025 Cadillac CT5 breaks from the outgoing 2024 model year in several ways, as seen when comparing the front fascia of both vehicles. Now, we want to know – which one looks better?

The styling differences between these two models can be found up front, where we find several tweaks to the sedans’ fascia. The lighting, for example, is totally different, with the outgoing 2024 Cadillac CT5 showing angular upper headlights and vertical lighting signatures that run down either side of the fascia, plus a break between the two lighting elements via a body-colored bumper strip. By comparison, the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 shows Y-shaped lighting signatures that seem to bracket squared-off lighting elements in the upper corners of the fascia. LED lighting is used throughout on the refreshed CT5.
Notably, the refreshed CT5’s unbroken lighting signature line, which runs vertically down the side of the fascia, brings some continuity to Cadillac’s sedan headlights, as GM Authority covered previously.

Further changes include a new grille design, with the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 showing a slimmer upper air intake and larger lower intake. The CT5 Sport once again shows off a black mesh grille insert, while polished trim is used for the rest of the lineup.
Finally, the profile and rear of both vehicles is more or less identical.
