2016 Cadillac CT6 slated for March launch

2016 Cadillac CT6

Cadillac will extend the top of its range with the 2016 CT6, which begins production in Detroit in January, with initial shipments to dealers in March. Through the integration of new technologies, the first-ever CT6 creates a new formula for the range-topping sedan and substantially expands the Cadillac portfolio.

Thanks to pioneering new vehicle manufacturing and design methods, the CT6 achieves dynamic performance, efficiency and agility previously unseen in large luxury cars. The CT6 product line similarly aims to refresh and broaden the range of consumers in the prestige class of luxury sedans. In the US market, it is priced from $53,495, with the highest level CT6 Platinum starting at $83,465.

The CT6 sedan takes drivers to a higher threshold of involvement, with technologies to enhance situational awareness, chassis systems that make the most of control in all conditions, and powertrains led by an all-new Cadillac Twin Turbo engine. The Cadillac 3.0L Twin Turbo V6 engine is rated at 400 hp and 543 Nm of torque, an all-new 335 hp 3.6L V6 and Cadillac’s award-winning 2.0L 4-cylinder engine are also available. All engines are paired with eight-speed automatic transmissions.

The rigid, lightweight architecture provides a crucial foundation for the sedan’s segment-challenging agility, enhanced by active-on-demand all-wheel drive, active rear steering and Magnetic Ride Control on the available Active Chassis System.

Cadillac has made technological strides with in-cabin advances, as well, including the Rear Camera Mirror, Enhanced Night Vision technology and the pioneering 34-speaker Bose Panaray audio system.

The 2016 CT6 will be built at the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant on the east side of Detroit. Cadillac in April auctioned the first retail production CT6 to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.
