Product Overview

Cadillac CTS III is an executive sedan in production from 2014 to 2019. It is available with V6, V8, and inline-4 engines that displace from 2.0L to 6.2L.
Owners will probably enjoy the powerful supercharged V8 in the CTS-V the most, which is smoother than smaller engines and comes with an exhaust note that is sure to please. Compared to I6, H6, V10, or V12, however, the V8 is not very responsive.
The Cadillac CTS III also comes with a high towing capacity.
