5 reasons to buy the 2014 Cadillac CTS
1. Three body styles
The 2014 Cadillac CTS makes it easy to find the body style that’s right for you. Planning to mostly drive solo or pick up a date for a night on the town? The two-door coupe will have you arriving in style. Driving around the kids? Choose the four-door sedan, which makes it easy to unload the back seats. If you need extra storage for pets or cargo, opt for the available wagon.
2. Strong engine options
If you like to get around in a hurry, you’ll appreciate the three engine options on the 2014 Cadillac CTS sedan. The sedan comes standard with a 272-hp 2L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. If you want faster acceleration, choose the 321-hp 3L V6, available on the CTS Luxury trim or higher. For the most power, choose the V-Sport trim (not to be confused with the Cadillac CTS-V), which comes standard with a 420-hp 3.6L twin-turbocharged V6.
3. Ready for any weather
Navigating snow and ice is no problem if your 2014 Cadillac CTS is equipped with option AWD. Heated mirrors and remote start, both standard, come in handy on frigid days. The available “Seating” package adds heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and genuine leather, along with other features.
4. Available driver assist features
To get the most out of technology, choose a Luxury trim CTS or higher. With that trim, the 2014 CTS comes standard with blind spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.
5. Lots of luxury
The 2014 Cadillac CTS has plenty of available luxury features to make you feel pampered. The aptly-named Luxury trim comes with a standard panoramic sunroof and standard heated and ventilated seats. The adaptive suspension, available on that trim and higher, ensures a smooth ride.
