If you’re on the looko
ut for a performance-inspired luxury midsize sedan, the new Cadillac CTS might be the best pick for you. The CTS offers seating for five, enough power to satisfy any speed-junky, and high-tech safety features to boot. With a base MSRP of $46,495 to $86,495 fully loaded and built to excite, you’ll want to explore these four reasons to look out for the unparalleled 2018 Cadillac CTS.
Punchy Turbocharged Engine
The 2018 CTS is available with four ready-for-action engines under the hood: a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a turbocharger, a stock 3.6-liter six-cylinder, the twin-turbocharged stock-six, and a big, beefy supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The most popular choice is the twin-turbocharged V6, which puts out plenty of power for a more thrilling acceleration that’s highly competitive in its class. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the supercharger powers the performance-oriented CTS-V to 60 mph in as little as 3.7-seconds with a top speed of 200 mph.
Athletic Handling
The sporty 2018 CTS is an excellent choice when it comes to handling. Rated among the best-performing luxury sedans, the CTS has cornering prowess not matched by many competitors. This Cadillac shows off its agility and stays poised on curvy roads with responsive steering and plenty of grip. For outwitting the road, the CTS-V pushes the limits and displays impressively athletic handling. And don’t worry about sacrificing a comfortable ride; this caddy settles down for a smooth, secure ride even over rough roads, making the front-wheel-drive CTS the perfect car for long-distance cruising.
Great Safety Features
This distinctive sedan by Cadillac earned excellent crash test ratings, too. In the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tests, the CTS received a full five stars in every category. Loaded standard with safety gear such as a rearview camera and rear parking sensors, upper-level trims feature advanced safety technology such as forward collision warning, a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and so much more. The CTS’s Safety Alert Seat vibrates to alert you when one of the other safety systems senses danger, such as drifting into the other traffic lane or heading towards objects while parking.
State-of-the-Art Tech Features
Fitted with quite a few innovative high-tech features, the CTS offers Cadillac’s next generation CUE infotainment system, new for 2018 and standard with every model. The new CUE provides cloud-based elements such as the navigation app with live traffic updates, nearby fuel prices, and parking information. The CTS features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with crisp visuals and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, that respond quickly to voice recognition and touch inputs.
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications technology, which communicates information to other similarly equipped vehicles on the road, is also available standard on the 2018 models. This progressive technology enables the CTS to collect and analyze data and warn drivers of hazards up ahead, allowing more time to react to potentially dangerous conditions.
