Besides some minor style changes, the Cadillac CTS Coupe remains unchanged for the 2013 model year.

2013 Cadillac CTS Coupe Efficiency
The estimated fuel economy is 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined for the automatic transmission, regardless of if it’s rear-wheel of all-wheel drive.
2013 Cadillac CTS Coupe Interior
The sharp, athletic angles from the exterior are carried over to the interior. Upgraded materials are used, including an elegant wood trim. For those CTS Coupes that have a navigation system, it cleverly emerges from the dash, and almost fully retracts when not in use.
Outward visibility can be a struggle as the sloping roof and hard angles create some serious blind spots.
