2022 Lexus IS vs. 2022 Cadillac CT4 : Value-Packed Luxury and Performance
July 21 2021,
The 2022 Lexus IS is the symbol of refinement and reliable performance in the compact luxury sedan. While rivals try to emulate its success, none of them can attain the level of craftsmanship and engineering that the Lexus IS is based on – not to mention the unique styling cues it incorporated. Here we compare it with the 2022 Cadillac CT4.
Reliable performance under the hood of the 2022 Lexus IS
The Lexus IS has always been about all-around performance. But where competitors fail in terms of reliability, output and maintenance costs, the Lexus IS takes the lead with tried and true drivetrains that perform and last. The base IS is powered by a four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that develops 241 horsepower, this is more horsepower than the base CT4. It is mated to a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission.
The IS 350 AWD features a state-of-the-art all-wheel-drive system which surpasses the CT4’s equipment in that regard. But it is also powered by a 311-horsepower 3.5-litre V6 engine that is not only more powerful than the CT4’s next engine, it is also much more reliable.
The CT4 also has a “V” model available this year which tops the lineup at 325 horsepower, but it is no match against the Lexus IS 500 F SPORT. The latter is powered by a 5.0-litre V8 which outputs a whopping 472 horsepower. The CT4 has a Blackwing version on the way, but it won’t be as reliable and affordable than the Lexus IS 500 F Sport.
Rich interiors crafted with the best materials inside the 2022 Lexus IS
The Lexus IS’s cabin is carefully crafted using the best in terms of materials and textures. While the CT4 uses budget-oriented plastic surfaces and basic seating, the Lexus IS lets owners experience the best in terms of comfort and convenience. It also has more room in the trunk than the CT4 so you can take on any journey without compromising on luggage.
