Not only did Cadillac’s midsize car grow in size for 2014, the redesigned CTS‘ base price also got larger. When the rear- or all-wheel-drive sedan goes on sale this fall, it’ll start at $46,025, including a $925 destination fee. Last year’s model clocks in at just $39,800, including an $895 destination fee.
Several trim levels will be available, including Luxury, Performance and Premium. Powertrain choices for all three include a 272-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder or a 321-hp, 3.6-liter V-6.
Bumping up to the sport-oriented rear-wheel-drive CTS Vsport model gets you the new 420-hp, twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V-6, making a hefty 420 hp and 430 pounds-feet of torque. The model starts at $59,995, including a $925 destination fee, and includes an electronic limited slip differential and eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s not to be confused with the CTS-V model and its 556-hp, supercharged V-8; the V line carries over and wears the old generation’s design for 2014.
