BMW 5 Series vs Cadillac CT6

5 Series: Executive Elegance to the Next Level  

Some cars simply can't be matched. If you want sporty style-the kind that hints at a breakout performance to come-the 2021 5 Series has so much more in the tank than the 2020 CT6.

What makes it such an obvious winner? From the modern kidney grille and bumpers to the geometric shape of the headlights and taillights, this car understands the beautiful symphony of balance. It's the car everyone wants to drive at least once, showing off that brilliant Phytonic Blue Metallic.

The discontinued Cadillac CT6 has now been taken out of the game, but its design had already started to age. LED headlamps and an aggressive grille simply cannot compete with the 5 Series' optional Extended Shadowline Trim. Add drama and mystery to your BMW with:

• Visual enhancements to the kidney frame
• Kidney struts in black high-gloss
• Air breather inlay and tailpipe finishers in black chrome

The 5 Series and CT6 Compete in Performance

With the right amount of power, anyone can command the streets. And that person can be you, especially with the one-two performance-packed punch of the BMW 5 Series and the Cadillac CT6.

As one of the highest-powered Cadillac cars in the lineup, the CT6 shakes up the segment with a new-for-2020 engine. This V8 packs 550 horsepower that in any other comparison could feel like the clear-cut winner. But the BMW 5 Series can punch back-and punch back it does.

The performance-tuned version of this car, dubbed the BMW M5, has an astounding 600 to 617 horsepower on tap! It may be racing flair, but it's perfect for the everyday drive as well.

BMW 5 Series vs Cadillac CT6: A Plug-In Hybrid  

Make moves into the modern world of driving with a plug-in hybrid! Only the 2021 5 Series has this innovative powertrain since the 2020 CT6 is 100% powered by gasoline.

Examine the electrifying BMW 5 Series Plug-In Hybrid for a few seconds. You'll see a vehicle as powerful as it is efficient, with 288 horsepower to move you forward. Plus, you can drive on all-electric power for up to 21 miles, so emissions will be a thing of the past!

As a gas-powered vehicle, the Cadillac CT6 lacks hybrid and electric driving ability. While it may be fun to drive, it isn't as environmentally friendly or as easy on the gas as the BMW.
