2016 Cadillac CTS review

1. Engine options 

Whether you prefer a smaller engine for city driving, or want the instant responsiveness of a brawny V8, the 2016 Cadillac CTS has an engine for you. The sedan comes standard with a 268-hp 2L four-cylinder engine. A 335-hp 3.6L V6 is available on the luxury trim and higher, while a 420-hp 3.6L twin-turbocharged V6 is standard on the two V-Sport trims.  

2. Performance trims 

If you like to move quickly, or spend lots of time around a race track, choose a 2016 Cadillac CTS in one of the two V-Sport performance trims. Not only do these trims come with the 420-hp V6 that can blast from zero to 60 mpg in 4.7 seconds. They also offer performance features, including Brembo performance brakes and a limited-slip rear differential.  

3. Luxury features 

The Cadillac CTS has a luxury feel that will satisfy you even if you’re the person who always takes any available upgrades while traveling. The base 2016 CTS comes standard with synthetic leather, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel, remote start, and more. Move up just one trim level to the aptly named Luxury trim, and you’ll have a standard panoramic sunroof, lumbar support, and more.  

4. Driver assist features 

The 2016 Cadillac CTS offers tech features that will help you relax behind the wheel. The Luxury trim unlocks a suite of features, including blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more. A surround-view camera and adaptive cruise control come standard on the Performance trim and higher, while a self-parking system is standard on the V-Sport trims.  

5. Sound system 

If you always know the latest and greatest songs, you’ll appreciate the sound system on the 2016 Cadillac CTS. A 13-speaker Bose® surround-sound system is standard on the Luxury trim and higher. Each CTS has Bluetooth® connectivity and available Apple Carplay® and Android Auto™ integration to connect to the standard 8-inch touchscreen. Three USB ports, which come standard, mean you’ll never be without a smartphone charge.
