PROS, CONS, CHANGES

New CT6 is not flawless and it has some disadvantages. Perhaps the biggest drawback of this car it lacks updates. The biggest refreshments are related to the color scheme. There are two additional colors: Phantom Gray Metallic and Bronze Dune Metallic, and one color is deleted – Graphite Metallic. However, these two new colors are available at extra charge. We do hope Cadillac will surprise us with some other improvements. On the other side, advantages are large space for passengers, up-to-date technology, reasonable price and a decent engine. This luxury sedan is definitely worth its price and is one of the favorite cars in this category. Even though there are no huge improvements it can stand side by side with its competitors.

Engine lineup is going to consist of two different units. The base unit is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. It is able to deliver 265 hp and 295 pound-ft of torque and it mated to 8-speed automatic gearbox. On the other hand, there is a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder with an output of 404 hp and 400 pounds-feet of torque.

PERFORMANCE

Fuel efficiency is one of the advantages. EPA rating is estimated at 22 mpg in a city and 31 on a highway. These figures are not exceptional but still great for a luxury sedan. Thanks to the 3.0l it can develop 155 mph. Acceleration is not astonishing since it goes from 0-60 mph in “only” 5 seconds. However, it will meet everyone’s demands. However, new 2017 Cadillac CT6 cannot brag with good towing capacity. It is surprisingly low and is estimated at 1000 lbs. Although this is a luxury sedan and it won’t probably need better towing capacity, you never know. Generally, performance is quite satisfying and no major complaints are expected here.
