2011 Cadillac Cts in Joliet, IL - $12,663

The current generation of the Cadillac CTS Sedan was introduced back in 2014. With its striking design and lightweight, rear-wheel-drive-based architecture, the CTS stands out among the world’s best midsize sedans with a distinctive, satisfying blend of luxury and sport. It is lighter than its primary competitors, enabling the most agile driving dynamics in the class, and its power-dense powertrain underpins its performance. For 2017, CTS trim levels have been renamed for consistency across the Cadillac showroom and include: CTS, Luxury, Premium Luxury, V-Sport and V-Sport Premium Luxury.

Other changes and enhancements for 2017 include: a new front grille design and rear fascia; new 17’ wheel design, 18” V-Sport wheel design; Cadillac Cue adds Teen Driver enhancements; an available Carbon Black Appearance package, and two new premium exterior colors – Bronze Dune Metallic and Silver Moonlight Metallic.

Power for the CTS sedan is generated by the standard 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder; 3.6L V-6; and a twin-turbocharged 3.6L V6 engine. All three prime movers are bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. All-wheel drive is an available option.

Inside the passenger cabin, a roomy, driver-centric cockpit interior with integrated technology and hand-crafted appointments complements the exterior and supports the CTS sedan’s driving experience. An industry-exclusive, one-piece wrapped upper instrument panel flows from the base of the windshield down to the base of the center stack, while the “brow” over the instrument cluster reaches across the center stack, exemplifying the asymmetrical cues. The center stack and the wider center console that blends with it are designed around Cadillac’s CUE connectivity and controls system, which features a high-resolution eight-inch touch screen.

In front of the driver, a blend of analog gauges and a 5.7-inch driver information center display is standard, while other models feature a 12.3-inch color reconfigurable screen with four levels of information displays: simple, balanced, performance or enhanced. OnStar with 4G LTE and built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, as well as enhanced features for Cadillac CUE, brings greater connectivity and convenience to driver and passenger alike.
