Vehicle Overview
The CTS, Cadillac’s midsize sedan, is offered with rear- or all-wheel drive. Three engines are offered: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a new 3.6-liter V-6 and, on the V-Sport model, a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6. The CTS competes with luxury sedans like the BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and Audi A6. The high-performance CTS-V is covered separately in the Cars.com Research section.
New for 2016
A new available 3.6-liter V-6 engine with direct injection, stop-start technology and cylinder deactivation is rated at 335 horsepower. The turbocharged four-cylinder also has stop-start technology to save fuel, and both the four-cylinder and V-6 team with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Apple CarPlay technology for integrating iPhone capabilities has been added to the standard Cadillac User Experience multimedia system. Android Auto capability is due later in the model year. A surround-view camera system is now available.
