Beneath the sophisticated exterior lies a potent engine—a 3.6L Direct Injection V6 delivering an impressive 318 HP. That much power will come in handy when you need it. And be exhilarating even when you don’t.

In the CTS, thoughtful touches abound. One of the many examples is available Ambient Interior Lighting. It includes a light pipe under the wood trim on the dash and LED spotlights under the door pulls, footwells and overhead console, setting the mood in the cabin and setting the scene for the perfect drive.

The fully independent suspension was designed to challenge the world’s most revered sport sedans. Cadillac’s ingenious short/long arm (SLA) front suspension provides adjustability and helps control the wheel movement far better than a traditional strut. Add this brilliant suspension system to a platform that has nearly perfect front-to-rear balance, and you get the ultimate combination of comfort and responsiveness.

With a unique, wide stance, sweeping roofline and chiseled bodywork, this is a sport coupe like no other:

• A unique “frameless” door design and keyless, auto-touch door releases that are flush-mounted combine to accentuate the Coupe’s clean lines
• Vertical LED taillamps with signature light-pipe technology and a chevron-shaped stop lamp design are unmistakably Cadillac
• Chromed, dual-exhaust outlets are center-mounted and are the final, dramatic touches to the rear-end styling
  

Every convenience is within easy reach, thanks to the available glide-up navigation system*. Featuring voice guidance, 3-D color imaging, 10-speaker Bose^® 5.1 surround sound, iPod¹³ connectivity, hard drive for music storage and Pause-and-Play Radio, all accessible on an 8-inch LCD touch screen, the glide-up nav is your control center.

Get a clear view of what’s behind you with this available feature:

• Provides a panoramic view of the vehicle’s projected path when vehicle is put in reverse
• View is intuitively displayed in the rearview mirror or in the navigation system screen (if equipped)
• Standard ultrasonic rear parking assist that issues audible warnings if the vehicle is within a specified distance of a detected stationary object

The CTS enhances your driving experience, often before you even enter the vehicle. Take, for instance, the available Adaptive Remote Start, which allows you to start your car (and automatically adjusts the climate control based on the exterior temperature) from your key fob. Or the available heated steering wheel, which is the perfect antidote to a cold winter morning. Or the available UltraView sunroof, which works with the available Bose^® 5.1 surround sound system to automatically adjust the volume when opening or closing. Once you live with features like these, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
