2024 Jaguar XF vs. 2024 Cadillac CT5 Engines & Specs

Choose between two dynamic engine options for the 2024 Jaguar XF and 2024 Cadillac CT5 alike. While both luxury sedans provide you with a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Jaguar XF engine makes more horsepower and torque than the standard engine on the Cadillac CT5. The inverse is true for the available engines. Both sedans offer rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). The difference is that the XF links its drivetrains to the engines — the more powerful P300 engine gets standard AWD capability — while the CT5 offers two drivetrains on either engine.

Both XF engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. CT5 engines come with a ten-speed automatic transmission. For additional control over your driving experience, the Jaguar XF offers the personalized settings of Configurable Dynamics and the automatic refinement of Adaptive Dynamics.
