The Lexus IS is a lot more than just another compact luxury sedan and it can face its rivals like the Cadillac CT5 with complete confidence. Let’s take a closer look at how the Cadillac CT5 and the 2021 Lexus IS compare.
The first area that we want to look at when comparing the Lexus IS and the new Cadillac CT5 is the engine compartment. Both the IS and the CT5 come with a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers a lot of torque and a lot of performance. That said, the Lexus IS has the advantage over the Cadillac CT5 when it comes to direct performance. Indeed, the IS has a base 2.0 L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers a standard 241 horsepower along with 258 pound-feet of torque. This is slightly higher than the CT5, which delivers 237 horsepower.
That said, the CT5 and its base engine also lag behind the 3.5 L V6 engine offered in the IS, which delivers 260 horsepower. In other words, in the new IS, you get better performance for the same amount of money.
You also get improved reliability, as Lexus has regularly found itself in the top spot when it comes to overall reliability as well as initial customer satisfaction in JD Power rankings. To learn more about the new 2021 Lexus IS, contact us today at Lexus Laval.
