Cadillac CT6 – All-New Full Size Luxury Sedan

Cadillac is supposed to be the premium American brand but they somehow lost their way. The Germans and even Japanese have been kicking their butts for decades now but it looks like the American automaker finally has a product that can take on the European giants such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar, and Audi with the unveiling of the first-ever Cadillac CT6.

The CT6 will compete directly against vehicles such as the BMW 7-Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8, and Jaguar XJ. The vehicle measures in at 204-inches in length and is said to be extremely light for a vehicle of its size. Cadillac says that the CT6 is one of the lightest and most agile full-size luxury performance sedans around. For example, the vehicle is as large and spacious as the BMW 7-Series but weight, efficiency, and agility is the same as the Cadillac CTS – which is lighter than a BMW 5-Series.

One of the main features on the Cadillac CT6 is the extensive use of aluminum in it architecture that incorporates 11 different materials to provide excellent strength and considerable reduction in weight.

Under the hood of the CT6, Cadillac is offering three different engine options. The first is the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine putting down 265 horsepower. The second engine is 335hp 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 while the third engine is the most powerful of the options producing 400 horsepower using a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. All engines deliver the power via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

On the interior, the first thing everyone will notice is the massive 10.2-inch touchscreen with touchpad. The LCD screen is said to be very fast and responsive to the touch. The tactical screen allows users to feel the cursor move across the screen under your fingertips and it even features a handwriting recognition to make address inputs simple and easy. Customers also have the option of an available Night Vision system which helps drivers see all types of creatures lurking ahead of you.

The CT6 also has a very cool Rear Camera Mirror which with a touch of a button, will steam HD video through the rear view mirror itself. This allows 300 percent more vision than a standard mirror would allow. And with a simple touch, you can turn the mirror off and revert to a traditional rear view mirror.

This vehicle would also be ideal for long roadtrips as each passenger can customize their own climate and each seat also comes with available personal seat heating and cooling and dynamic pressure technology. My favorite part is that every passenger also has access to multi-setting massage programs in their seats.

This all-new Cadillac CT6 will be available in early 2016.
