2010 Cadillac CTS 3.6L Premium

The 2010 Cadillac CTS 3.6L Premium sedan comes equipped with a long list of luxury-oriented standard features, including leather seating surfaces, heated and ventilated front seats with 10-way power adjustment, memory presents for the driver's seat, and a hard-drive-based navigation system with an 8-inch pop-up screen. The navigation system integrates with a 10-speaker Bose 5.1 surround-sound audio system, which includes a 6-CD changer and XM satellite radio. Bluetooth, interior ambient lighting, a power rake and telescopic steering wheel, an UltraView power tilt-and-slide sunroof, and Sapele interior wood trim are among the CTS 3.6L Premium's other standard features. Drivers can access such services as vehicle diagnostics and remote door unlock through the standard OnStar feature, while a split-folding rear seat and a cargo net in the trunk aid owners when carrying cargo.

Outside, HID headlight with washers, front foglights, and automatic Rainsense wipers with moisture detection all come standard. The 2010 CTS 3.6L Premium rides on a sport-tuned suspension with a limited-slip differential, which helps improve driving dynamics. Power comes in the form of a 3.6-liter, direct-injection V6 engine, which produces 304 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The V6 links to an electronically controlled Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission with Drive Shift Control, which enables the driver to shift manually. All-speed traction control, the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, antilock brakes with brake assist, and 18-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires all come standard on the CTS 3.6L Premium sedan. New exterior colors for 2010 include Tuscan Bronze ChromaFlair and Vanilla Latte.
