Cadillac CTS Overview

Introduced in 2003, the Cadillac CTS represents the domestic maker's best attempt at competing with European luxury midsize sedans. Through 2007, we've seen three noteworthy engine revisions.

The first V6 powertrain lasted from 2003-2004 and featured 3.2 L displacement and 220 hp. The CTS then upped the ante to 3.6 L and 255 hp in 2004, and introduced 2.8 L, 210 hp engine in 2005.

Cadillac also instituted the more powerful CTS-V in 2004. Look for future models to feature a standard 3.6 L powertrain with either 258 or 300 hp. Overall, reviewers like the CTS' style and ride. However, Cadillac could do a little better on the details, including road noise and lack of quality interior materials.
