Sitting low to the ground, the Cadillac CTS Sedan’s exterior offers an elongated, athletic stance. The wheel design changes from trim to trim; the base level comes with 17-inch 10-spoke painted alloy wheels, while the range-topping V-Sport Premium Luxury is equipped with 18-inch Ultra Bright machined-finish alloy wheels.

Performance

2018 Cadillac CTS Sedan

Two performance options are available on the 2018 Cadillac CTS Sedan. As a standard on the two lowest trim levels, you’ll find a 2.0-liter Turbo four-cylinder engine; this engine is paired to the streamlined eight-speed automatic transmission, producing 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Standard on the top three trims, and available on the Luxury, is a 3.6-liter Twin-Turbo V6 engine, also paired to the eight-speed automatic. This stronger powertrain produces an impressive 420 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.

Efficiency

If you decide to opt for a lower trim level, equipped with the four-cylinder engine, you can expect a higher level of efficiency on your Cadillac CTS Sedan. Models equipped with the four-cylinder earn an estimated 22 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. Upper V-Sport trims, equipped with the stronger V6, lose a significant amount of their efficiency. Behind the wheel of either V-Sport model, you can expect to earn an estimated 16 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg combined.

Interior

2018 Cadillac CTS Sedan

As with any Cadillac, luxury materials decorate every trim of the 2018 CTS Sedan. With leatherette seat trim and front bucket seats as standards, you don’t have to upgrade to the more expensive trims to see comfort and tech. An advanced, 11-speaker Bose audio system comes standard on the base trim, with two additional speakers available on the Luxury.
