2019 Cadillac CTS-V review

1. Plenty of power 

If you’re at home in the boardroom or dominant on the field, you know that power can be invigorating. The Cadillac CTS-V delivers that burst of life, thanks to its 640-hp supercharged 6.2L V8. With that engine, the 2019 CTS-V can accelerate from zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds, which is fun whether you’re on the track or just merging onto the highway during your daily commute.  

2. Performance 

With so many horses under the hood, the Cadillac CTS-V needs performance parts at the ready. The 2019 CTS-V comes standard with Brembo performance brakes, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, adaptive suspension, and more. The transmission relies on Performance Algorithm Shifting to automatically deliver a thrilling ride, but you can also use the standard paddle shifters for a more hands-on driving experience.  

3. Comfortable seats 

You’re going to want to spend a lot of time in your CTS-V, so you’ll appreciate the comfortable seats and interior. The 2019 CTS-V comes standard with heated leather front seats with adjustable thigh supports. For even more comfort, choose the available Recaro performance front seats, which offer 16 different driving positions.  

4. Great sound system 

A thrilling ride and a vibrant playlist go hand-in-hand. Whether you’re off to the gym or cruising through the mountains, your songs will sound great thanks to the standard 13-speaker Bose® audio system on the 2019 Cadillac CTS-V. Standard Apple Carplay® and Android Auto™ connectivity make it easy to stay connected through the 8-inch touchscreen. 

5. Driver-assist features 

The 2019 Cadillac CTS-V is all about hands-on driving. And yet, you can’t be on all the time, so you’ll appreciate that the 2019 CTS-V comes standard with a suite of driver-assist features to back you up during more mundane drives. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning are all standard, as are front and rear parking cameras.
