Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Arteon than the Cadillac CT4, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Arteon, the Cadillac CT4 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 CT4 as you will with the Volkswagen Arteon, 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). Based on MSRP, the Cadillac CT4 is clearly a better financial choice over the Volkswagen Arteon.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac CT4 is much slimmer than the Volkswagen Arteon, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Cadillac CT4 is slightly shorter than the Volkswagen Arteon, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Cadillac CT4 has a smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen Arteon, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac CT4 is significantly less powerful than the Volkswagen Arteon. 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 CT4 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Volkswagen Arteon.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Cadillac CT4 and the Volkswagen Arteon.
