The 2012 CTS Coupe is the ultimate expression of Cadillac’s commitment to performance driving and dramatic design with its sculpted shape and concealed, auto-touch door handles that accentuate the Coupe’s clean lines. More than a design statement, the CTS Coupe also features a standard 318 HP direct-injection V6 engine with 6-speed automatic transmission and a suspension that was fine-tuned on Germany’s famed Nürburgring track to help ensure precise handling. There’s even available performance-tuned All-Wheel Drive (AWD) for extra grip without sacrificing handling. And you can tailor CTS Luxury Coupe to your personal taste with available Performance or Premium Collections. Finishing details include a meticulously crafted interior with options like a Bose® 5.1 surround sound system, hard drive for music storage and an available heated steering wheel.
MEET THE CTS COUPE
Discover how it breaks new ground, from every angle.
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.
CTS LUXURY COUPE DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE
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
PERFORMANCE
SUSPENSION
The CTS Coupe’s 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.
TECHNOLOGY
ADAPTIVE FORWARD LIGHTING
As seen in the CTS Sport Sedan, the available Adaptive Forward Lighting sensors read your speed and steering angle, swiveling the HID (High-Intensity Discharge) headlamps up to 15 degrees to illuminate the direction of travel. The headlamps are even auto-leveled based on your speed and direction. They’re forward-thinking, in every sense.
GAS STATION LOCATOR
Knowing that you’re low on gas is only part of the equation—you also need to know where to refuel. That’s why, when your CTS detects a low fuel level, the Driver Information Center not only warns you, it also works with the available navigation system to tell you where the nearest gas station is—and even shows you how to get there.
GLIDE-UP NAVIGATION SYSTEM
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.
REARVIEW BACKUP CAMERA
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
