If you simply floor the Cadillac from a stop, there's significant turbo lag, which is evident when you compare the rolling-start 5-to-60-mph times: The i4's 5.1- second result handily beats the Caddy's 5.8. We've tested the i4 eDrive40 and found that the CT6's blitz to 60 is actually 0.1 second quicker than the i4's, although the BMW catches up by 100 mph.
