Used 2013 Cadillac CTS for Sale near Ohio

With a number of available trim options, including sedan and wagon body styles (not to mention the CTS Coupe, a separate model), the 2013 Cadillac CTS remains virtually unchanged from 2013. As with last year, buyers can choose between a sports sedan or sports wagon with a variety of options and packages.

The trims available for the sedan version of the 2013 Cadillac CTS include the 3.0L Luxury, 3.6L Performance and 3.6L Premium, each of which can be equipped as rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (AWD).

The 3.0L Luxury sedan trim comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, which is upgradeable to the automatic. Both engine packages are powered by regular gas and are estimated to get 18 mpg city/26 highway.

The 2013 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon also offers a number of trim options. The Base trim includes as standard equipment automatic dual-zone climate control, a power liftgate, 7-speaker Bose audio system and 17-inch painted aluminum alloy wheels. Choosing the Luxury trim adds leather seats, power adjustable heated front seats with lumbar support, HID headlights with adaptive forward lighting and a rear-view camera.

Whether choosing the 4-door sedan or 5-door sport wagon, the 2013 Cadillac CTS offers a number of different options for buyers. Although the sedans face steady competition from the Acura TL, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the sport wagons find themselves in the same market niche as the Acura TSX Sportswagon, BMW 3 Series Wagon and Volvo XC70, all have the same Cadillac standard of excellence when it comes to performance and styling. All are solid choices for even the most discerning of luxury vehicle shoppers.
