Cadillac is adding a striking new styling option to its high-performance sedan lineup, but the price places it well beyond what most buyers traditionally associate with the brand. The CT5-V Blackwing Deep Ocean Package carries a $26,995 price tag, nearly matching the cost of an entire entry-level luxury vehicle.
The package is available exclusively on the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, which already starts at $102,795. While the add-on represents a fraction of the car’s total price, it reflects Cadillac’s continued move away from affordability and toward competing directly with top-tier performance sedans such as the BMW M5 and Audi RS7.
The Deep Ocean Package is limited to 200 vehicles, adding an element of rarity that matches its premium positioning. According to GM Authority, the package leans heavily on visual upgrades, led by extensive use of carbon fiber. The exterior is finished in a distinctive blue paint previously introduced on the Cadillac Optiq-V, while the interior features a black color scheme accented with blue details throughout.
Blue brake calipers and matching seat belts reinforce the theme, while high-performance bucket seats and 19-inch graphite-colored wheels further differentiate the model from standard CT5-V Blackwing builds. Though the package is costly, many of its components are already available individually. When optioned separately, those elements total $24,430, narrowing the gap between exclusivity and accessibility for buyers who miss out on the limited run.
The pricing also highlights the wide spread within Cadillac’s current lineup. For roughly the cost of the Deep Ocean Package alone, buyers could nearly purchase a base CT4, which starts around $36,000. At the opposite end of the spectrum sits the Cadillac Celestiq, which begins at $361,100 and targets a market typically reserved for ultra-luxury marques.
Together, the CT5-V Blackwing Deep Ocean Package and Cadillac’s broader product range illustrate a brand navigating multiple identities at once, offering everything from attainable luxury sedans to highly exclusive, six-figure statement vehicles.
