2014 Cadillac CTS

2013 New York international auto show (NYIAS). Here is the all-new 2014 Cadillac CTS. Here is not only pictures, but also performance information. Very interesting news from New York. First of all, lets start this review from technical details. The Cadillac CTS has 3 option of engines, this is:
  • 2.0 L Turbo which produces 272 Horsepower @ 5000 RPM and 295 lb.ft of torque @ 2500-4000 RPM. 
  • 3.6 L V6 with 321 horsepower @ 6800 RPM and 275 lb.ft of torque @ 4800 RPM.
  • Same 3.6 L engine with Twin Turbo with 420 horsepower @ 5750 RPM and 430 lb.ft of torque @ 3500-4500 RPM.


2.0 Liter turbo engine is mated to 6-speed  automatic transmission. There will be RWD and AWD options. Fuel economy: 19/30 mpg (City/Hwy) for RWD and 18/28 mpg (City/Hwy) for AWD. Acceleration 0-60 Mph: 6.1 sec for RWD and 6.5 sec for AWD.

3.6 Liter V6 engine has two option of transmission types: 6 or 8-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy: 19/28 mpg (City/Hwy) for RWD and 18/27 mpg (City/Hwy) for AWD. Acceleration 0-60 Mph: 5.9 sec for RWD and 6.2 sec for AWD.

So there is same engine but added Twin Turbo! V6 engine is mated only 8-speed automatic transmission and it will be only RWD. Acceleration 0-60 Mph: 4.6 sec! Fuel economy: 17/25 mpg (City/Hwy).

Sale will begin lately 2013, estimated price near 48 000 $. Price of this car is not much compared to other European flagships. At this class there are other brands like Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. This is a typical Cadillac designed car, as we expected this car is massive because of it's class. Looks great! I think headlights using xenon arc lamps, because of this light is very bright, also there are a much little LED lamps. As we know this is flagship model and everything must be very good. Interior looks pretty good. Cabin is silent and used Active noise cancellation system. Leather seats, aluminum parts on the doors and it is not all! Hood is Aluminum made! On the body there is also aluminum details used. This car using aluminum and magnesium metal to reduce wight and improve fuel efficiency.
