2014 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Overview
What’s New for the 2014 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon
Those who wish the CTS-V Wagon had more color choices, get excited—the 2014 model offers three new exterior color options. Phantom Gray Metallic, Mocha Steel Metallic, and Red Obsession Tintcoat are now offered for the wagon along with a new Sports Blue interior package. It’s also got a whole new set of brakes for the new model year and a new two-piece that saves weight, while offering greater resistance.
2014 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Exterior
There aren’t many carmakers that can make a wagon look elegant, but Cadillac definitely does. The unconventional edges and sleek, angular rear of the 2014 model make sure that the car isn’t mistaken for your mom’s wood-paneled station wagon. Add the signature tail lamps and the distinctive rooflines, and there’s no denying the luxury of this car.
2014 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Performance
When it comes to performance, the CTS-V Wagon steals the spotlight. This wagon might look like it’s for soccer moms only on the exterior, but under the hood, it’s pure power. A 6.2-liter V8 engine churns out an outstanding 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of torque. Along with this unbelievable powertrain, the 2014 Wagon offers an available manual transmission and all-wheel-drive system, making the vehicle one well-rounded powerhouse.
2014 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Efficiency
If you’re going to have all that power, you have to sacrifice somewhere. In the case of the 2014 CTS-V Wagon, that sacrifice is the fuel efficiency. With 14 mpg city and 19 mpg highway, it’s not the greatest fuel economy ever—but the power more than makes up for the frequent stops at the pump.
2014 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Interior
The interior of the 2014 CTS-V Wagon is a haven for anyone, but this is especially so for the driver. Focused mainly on optimal driver control, each gauge, button, and control are thoughtfully placed. The high-performance gauges are easy to read, while the Ambient Interior Lighting adds the kind of class you’d expect out of a Cadillac.
2014 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Safety
While the 2014 CTS-V Wagon hasn’t undergone the government crash test gauntlet yet, it offers plenty of safety features to make sure its passengers are safe. Adaptive Forward Lighting uses sensors to read the car’s speed and steering angle, swiveling the headlamps up to 15 degrees to light up the direction it’s traveling. A Rear Vision Camera warns the driver of any obstacles that may be in its way while it’s backing out, while OnStar assistance comes standard for a year.
