Cadillac Blackwing Super Sedans Feature Cockpit Dark Mode: Video

Driving at night isn’t always easy, but the Cadillac Blackwing super sedan has a dark cockpit mode to help reduce eye strain.

Both the CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing have a dark cockpit mode, which can be activated by scrolling the cabin dimmer button all the way down. Doing so will change the theme of the instrument panel and disable all unnecessary lights in the cab, apart from a few lights that are essential for driving at night. With the in-cab lights dimmed or completely turned off, the driver’s eye strain is reduced, and anyone behind the wheel of this ultra-high-performance sedan can focus on getting through the nighttime environment.

There is quite a difference between the normal cockpit lighting theme and the dark mode, as evidenced by the video and photos below. Note that the usual bright “backlight” in the instrument cluster is completely removed in dark mode. The 12-inch diagonal digital instrument cluster display theme is also simplified and conveys essential information to a minimum.

It’s worth noting that one of the corporate cousins ​​of the Cadillac Blackwing super sedan, the Chevrolet Corvette C8, also features a similar dark cockpit mode for driving at night.

As a reminder, the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing utilizes a twin-turbocharged 3.6L V6 (production code LF4), producing 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing offers a supercharged 6.2L V8 (production code LT4), with 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful Cadillac ever produced. The engines in both super sedans have a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic. Both transmissions transmit power exclusively to the rear wheels.
