Expected in : 2014 Year
Price : 45 Lakhs - 46 Lakhs

 ABOUT:

The Cadillac CTS is a mid-size performance/luxury car manufactured by the Cadillac marque of General Motors currently available in three body styles: Sedan, Coupe, and Sport Wagon. It was introduced in 2002 as a sports sedan, succeeding the Cadillac Catera. The CTS and the supercharged CTS-V variant had been named to the Car and Driver 10 Best list for three consecutive years. The 556 horsepower CTS-V variant is the 'Least Fuel Efficient Small Station Wagon' in the North American market. The car's exterior was designed by Wayne Cherry and Kip Wasenko, and marked the production debut of the "Art and Science" design language first seen on the Evoq concept car. The 2013 Cadillac CTS has 3.0 Luxury include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, heated mirrors, key less entry, remote ignition, cruise control, automatic wipers, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rear view camera, heated eight-way power front seats (with two-way lumbar adjustment), driver memory functions, leather upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, interior accent lighting, On Star emergency communications, etc. The Performance and Premium packages can be equipped with a different Performance package that adds 19-inch wheels, summer tires, an even sportier suspension (FE3), a limited-slip differential, upgraded brakes and shift paddles.
A six-speed automatic comes standard, and reviewers say that it’s refined and well-matched to the CTS engine. If you need even more power, the high-performance Cadillac CTS-V comes with a powerful, supercharged V8 engine and an upgraded suspension. The CTS is available as a coupe, sedan or the CTS Sport Wagon, which is reviewed separately. All-wheel drive is optional. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 18/27 mpg city/highway, which is bit low for the class. While reviewers appreciate the CTS precise steering and ample power with the optional 3.6-liter V6.  While they’re impressed with the CTS high-quality interior materials and attractive design, and that rearward visibility isn't as good as it could be. They also say that the CTS has a small trunk opening, which can make it difficult to load bulky objects. One reviewer writes that while the navigation screen has a large, attractive display, it can also be difficult to use. Despite these concerns, reviewers say the 2013 CTS has a great-sounding stereo, and that its other controls are intuitive. The CTS also comes with more standard features than many cars in its class. 2013 Cadillac CTS include anti lock disc brakes, traction control, stability control, active front head restraints, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Also standard is On Star, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, an emergency button, stolen vehicle locator and active intervention, and remote door unlock. The optional navigation system emerges from the top of the dash and retracts almost fully, leaving a small section visible as a touchscreen display for the audio system a smart and elegant alternative solution to having a separate control panel. We also appreciate that Cadillac provides a redundant control knob for scrolling through iPod or satellite radio menus. Many find the driving position awkward because of slightly offset pedals, a low-mounted seat and compromised knee room due to the sweeping center stack. Overall comfort is also hampered by flat and stiff seat backs. The 2013 Cadillac CTS comes with a choice of two V6 engines, though most test drivers suggest avoiding the base 3.0-liter engine and opting for the larger 3.6-liter V6, which offers more power and similar fuel economy.
