5 reasons to buy the 2015 Cadillac CTS
1. Three engine options
The 2015 Cadillac CTS offers three engine options, so you can find the one that’s right for you. If you spend most of your time driving in the city, the standard 272-hp 2L turbocharged four-cylinder engine is great.

2. Sports trim
If you love to spend time on the track, you’ll want to choose the Cadillac CTS V-Sport trim. With the 3.6L engine that comes standard in that trim, the 2015 Cadillac CTS V-Sport can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. You’ll also have sports-tuned steering and suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, and a “track mode” to enhance performance.
