Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Dodge Charger than the Cadillac CT5, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Dodge Charger, the Cadillac CT5 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac CT5 as you will with the Dodge Charger, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Cadillac CT5 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Dodge Charger.

Dimensions
The Cadillac CT5 is a little narrower than the Dodge Charger, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. The Cadillac CT5 is slightly shorter than the Dodge Charger, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Cadillac CT5 has a larger turning radius than the Dodge Charger, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac CT5 is significantly less powerful than the Dodge Charger. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Cadillac CT5 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Dodge Charger.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Cadillac CT5 and the Dodge Charger.
