Both the CT4 and Integra have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The CT4 has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The Integra’s child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

The CT4’s standard pretensioning seatbelts also sense rear collisions and remove slack from the front seatbelts to help protect the occupants from whiplash and other injuries. The Integra doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

The CT4 offers all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Integra doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The CT4 Premium Luxury/Sport offers an optional HD Surround Vision to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Integra only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

Both the CT4 and the Integra have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras and rear cross-path warning.

Warranty

The CT4’s corrosion warranty is 1 year longer than the Integra’s (6 vs. 5 years).

There are over 2 times as many Cadillac dealers as there are Acura dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the CT4’s warranty.

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates rated the CT4 second among compact premium cars in their 2024 Initial Quality Study. The Integra isn’t in the top three in its category.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2024 survey of the owners of three-year-old vehicles provides the long-term dependability statistics that show that Cadillac vehicles are more reliable than Acura With 20 fewer problems per 100 vehicles in the first three years of ownership, J.D. Power ranks Cadillac higher than Acura.

Engine

The CT4’s standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder produces 37 more horsepower (237 vs. 200) and 66 lbs.-ft. more torque (258 vs. 192) than the Integra’s standard 1.5 turbo 4-cylinder. The CT4’s optional 2.7 turbo 4-cylinder produces 40 lbs.-ft. more torque (350 vs. 310) than the Integra Type S’ standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder.

As tested in Consumer Reports the Cadillac CT4 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder is faster than the Acura Integra 1.5 turbo 4-cylinder (automatics tested):

	CT4	Integra
Zero to 30 MPH	2.9 sec	3.5 sec
Zero to 60 MPH	7.4 sec	7.7 sec
Quarter Mile	15.7 sec	16 sec

Fuel Economy and Range

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the CT4’s fuel efficiency. The Integra doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

Regardless of its engine, the CT4’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip. The Integra Type S doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.

The CT4 has 5.1 gallons more fuel capacity than the Integra (17.5 vs. 12.4 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Brakes and Stopping

The CT4’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Integra are solid, not vented.

The CT4 stops much shorter than the Integra:

	CT4	Integra
100 to 0 MPH	324 feet	358 feet	Car and Driver
70 to 0 MPH	158 feet	178 feet	Car and Driver

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the CT4 has larger standard tires than the Integra (225/45R17 vs. 215/50R17).

The CT4 Luxury’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Integra’s standard 50 series tires.

Having a flat tire is dangerous, inconvenient and expensive. The self-sealing tires available on the CT4 can automatically seal most punctures up to 3/16 of an inch, effectively preventing most flat tires. The Integra doesn’t offer self-sealing tires.

Suspension and Handling

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the CT4’s wheelbase is 1.6 inches longer than on the Integra (109.3 inches vs. 107.7 inches).

The CT4’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (54% to 46%) than the Integra’s (60% to 40%). This gives the CT4 more stable handling and braking.

The CT4 Premium Luxury AWD executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the Integra A-Spec Technology (26.5 seconds @ .67 average G’s vs. 27.2 seconds @ .63 average G’s).

For better maneuverability, the CT4’s turning circle is 1 foot tighter than the Integra’s (37.1 feet vs. 38.1 feet). The CT4 AWD’s turning circle is 1.7 feet tighter than the Integra Type S’ (38 feet vs. 39.7 feet).

Chassis

The front grille of the CT4 Premium Luxury uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Integra doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

Passenger Space

The CT4 has .1 inches more front legroom, .1 inches more rear headroom and 3.6 inches more rear hip room than the Integra.

Cargo Capacity

A standard locking glovebox (which can’t be accessed with the valet key) keeps your small valuables safer in the CT4. The Integra doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

Towing

The CT4 has a 1000 lbs. towing capacity. The Integra has no towing capacity.

Servicing Ease

The engine in the CT4 is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways, as in the Integra. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because the accessory belts are in front.

J.D. Power and Associates surveys of service recipients show that Cadillac service is better than Acura. J.D. Power ranks Cadillac fifth in service department satisfaction. With a 13% lower rating, Acura is ranked 9th.

Ergonomics

The power windows standard on both the CT4 and the Integra have locks to prevent small children from operating them. When the lock on the CT4 is engaged the driver can still operate all of the windows, for instance to close one opened by a child. The Integra prevents the driver from operating the other windows just as it does the other passengers.

The CT4’s front and rear power windows all lower with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Integra’s rear power window switches have to be held the entire time to open them fully.

The CT4’s standard Keyless Access allow you to unlock the doors from any outside door handle, open the trunk, and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Keyless Access System standard on the Integra doesn’t offer a sensor on the rear doors, so you’ll have to reach a front handle to unlock the rear door.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the CT4 Premium Luxury/Sport offers optional cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The Integra doesn’t offer cornering lights.

The CT4 Premium Luxury/Sport/V-Series’ standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Integra has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the CT4 Premium Luxury/Sport keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Integra doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

On extremely cold winter days, the CT4’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The Integra doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

The CT4 Sport offers optional massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Integra.

The CT4 has a standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. Dual zone air conditioning is only available on the Integra A-Spec Technology/Type S.

Both the CT4 and the Integra offer rear vents. For greater rear passenger comfort, the CT4 has standard rear air conditioning vents to keep rear occupants cool in summer or warm in winter. The Integra doesn’t offer rear air conditioning vents, only heat vents.

With standard Natural Voice Recognition, the CT4 offers the driver hands free control of the radio and the navigation computer by simply speaking. The Integra doesn’t offer a voice control system.

Compared to the Acura Integra, the Cadillac CT4 Premium Luxury/Sport eliminates the need for separate garage door openers and associated risks of losing, breaking, or having dead batteries with its standard integrated Homelink® universal remote controlled from the overhead console.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Cadillac CT4 has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Only the Integra A-Spec Technology/Type S offers wireless charging.
