2015 Cadillac CTS: What's New

Vehicle Overview

Redesigned last year, the CTS is Cadillac’s midsize sedan. Rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. Three engines are available, and the CTS competes with models like the BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and Audi A6. A high-performance CTS-V coupe is also offered.

New for 2015
The grille gets an updated Cadillac crest, and the OnStar communication system adds 4G LTE internet connectivity with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. A three-month/3-gigabyte data trial is included.
The Cadillac User Experience system now lets you listen to text messages and respond with a preset reply when your phone is connected via Bluetooth. A wireless phone charger dubbed Cadillac DockSpot is now available, as are lane departure prevention and lane change alert safety features.
