2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 3.0L Luxury AWD

New for 2010, the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 3.0L Luxury AWD combines a variety of upscale features with optimal stability and traction, provided by GM's all-wheel-drive system. In addition, the luxury-oriented cabin offers versatile cargo-carrying capabilities, thanks to its 25 cubic feet of storage space behind the 60/40-split, fold-forward rear seats, as well as an adjustable in-floor containment space in the cargo area. Standard interior features include leather seating surfaces, heated front seats with 10-way power-adjustment, memory presets for the driver's seat, and interior ambient lighting with LED spotlights. Fingertip-control buttons located on the leather-wrapped steering wheel make it easy for drivers to manage the audio, climate control, traction control, and available navigation systems. Other standard interior features include Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, and remote keyless entry. The 8-speaker Bose audio system features a 6-CD changer, XM satellite radio, and an MP3 input jack, while OnStar keeps drivers connected with turn-by-turn navigation, roadside assistance, and vehicle diagnostics, among other services. Options include an upgraded 10-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system and a navigation system with a 40-gigabyte hard drive, an 8-inch pop-up screen, and real-time traffic and weather.

Under the hood, the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 3.0L Luxury AWD features a new 3.0-liter, direct-injection V6 engine, designed for solid performance, good fuel efficiency, and low emissions. The V6 generates 270 hp and 223 lb-ft of torque, and connects to an electronically controlled Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift feature. The engine posts fuel economy numbers of 18/27 mpg, according to GM estimates. Performance- and safety-related features include the StabiliTrak electronic control system, all-speed traction control, and antilock brakes with brake assist. Outside, such features as automatic Rainsense wipers with moisture detection and 17-inch aluminum wheels come standard. Exterior colors for 2010 include Tuscan Bronze ChromaFlair and Vanilla Latte.
