2016 Cadillac CT6 Review

2016 Cadillac CT6 Review

As witnessed with the ATS and CTS, Cadillac has continued to evolve the concept of the sport sedan. With the CT6, it has crafted a stately, plush, large sedan with engaging driving dynamics. Aim the CT6’s sharp steering toward a curve and this big sedan seems to shrink in size, carving up twisty roads with confidence. And yet the supple and composed ride befits a flagship.

The midlevel 3.6-liter V6 delivers ample power in a nonchalant fashion, pushing the CT6 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. Other engine choices include a 265-hp turbo four-cylinder and a 404-hp twin-turbo V6, all mated to a smooth and responsive eight-speed automatic.

Inside, the CT6 has a tasteful mix of supple leather and well-crafted trim. It’s easy to find comfort in the big, nicely padded front seats, thanks to the wide range of adjustments. The huge rear seat is a cinch to access, but the short bottom cushion compromises posture.

Cadillac has made some improvements to the Cue infotainment system, but the dashboard is still shy on easy-to-use buttons and knobs. The low-mounted dashboard vents compromise air distribution and tend to freeze your elbows.

Commendably, forward-collision warning, low-speed automatic braking, and blind-spot monitoring are standard on all versions of the CT6 except the Base trim.

The CT6’s superb road-test score proves that it’s worthy of Cadillac’s old slogan, “Standard of the world.”
