2018 Cadillac CTS-V review

1. Power 

Do you watch Formula 1 or NASCAR and wonder what it’s like to have so much power at your disposal? The 2018 Cadillac CTS-V will give you a taste, thanks to the standard 640-hp supercharged 6.2L V8 engine. With that engine, the CTS-V can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds–likely faster than you’ve ever gone zero to 60 before.  

2. Hands-on driving 

If you like to be in control, you’ll enjoy the 2018 Cadillac CTS-V. Standard steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters give you more control over gear changes. Four available driving modes (snow, touring, sport, and track) let you adjust how the 2018 CTS-V steering, suspension, and acceleration respond.  

3. Built for fun 

If you’ve ever thought you have the skills that you need to be a race car driver, the 2019 Cadillac CTS-V will let you put that to the test. When you’re in track driving mode, you’ll have the option to choose between five different traction control levels. Turn traction control down to really hone your driving skills, or take advantage of Cadillac’s expert engineering by leaving it on.  

4. Comfortable cabin 

The Cadillac CTS-V’s performance features will ensure you have fun behind the wheel, while the car’s cabin will keep you comfortable while you’re doing that. The 2018 CTS-V comes standard with 20-way adjustable seats. You can alter the thigh support and lumbar support until your seat is just right, and use the standard heating and ventilation to stay comfortable in any weather.  

5. Surround sound system 

Driving fast and listening to loud music just seem to go hand-in-hand. In the Cadillac CTS-V, your music will sound phenomenal on the standard 13-speaker Bose® surround-sound system. Standard Bluetooth®, Apple Carplay® and Android Auto™ connectivity make it easy to stay connected.
