ALL-NEW CADILLAC CTS SEDAN

THAT RAREFIED SLIVER BETWEEN THE GOOD AND THE TRULY GREAT.

THERE’S NO MAP TO HELP YOU FIND THIS ELUSIVE PLACE. THE ONLY

WAY TO GET THERE IS SIMPLY TO BELIEVE YOU CAN.

At Cadillac, we’ve set out to create our own uniquely

American breed of extraordinary. It’s why we’ve created our own daring

school of design that bends steel way beyond its comfort zone. It’s why

we’ve pushed technology two generations ahead by pioneering a bold

new way for drivers to intuitively access entertainment and information

with the flick of a finger. And why, in everything from safety

to performance, we’re setting the standard.

BOLD. DARING. ORIGINAL. These are the kinds of luxury vehicles we

build. It takes tenacity, a refusal to leave well-enough alone. That is the

difference between good and great. That is the difference between

just making luxury vehicles, and making Cadillacs.

04 OVERVIEW

CRAFTED TO THRILL

CTS VSPORT PREMIUM / Radiant Silver Metallic

Its design is striking, inside and out. Every

component, honed and crafted. Thrilling

performance and sophisticated technology

lurk within, while the extraordinary design

is outwardly unmistakable. Destined to stand

out among the world’s leading luxury cars,

this exceptional sedan elevates the notions

of luxury and sport. Dynamic, intriguing

design. A critically acclaimed lightweight

architecture. A meticulously detailed

interior. The all-new CTS is a driver’s car in

the truest sense of the term and breathtaking

to behold, both inside and out.

CTS VSPORT PREMIUM / Kona Brown

HEARTS WILL RACE.

SYNAPSES WILL FIRE.

06 PERFORMANCE: VSPORT

We proudly introduce the all-new CTS Vsport.

1

Inspired

by the pedigree of its legendary V-Series brethren—the

world’s fastest family of production cars—the Vsport

draws from this performance DNA to create its own

unique niche of luxury and sport. Built around the most

power-dense 6-cylinder engine in its segment, this new

direct-injection Twin Turbo V6 puts out a staggering

420 HP and 430 lb.-ft. of torque from just 3.6 liters.

Perfectly paired with an 8-speed transmission with

magnesium steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, it

launches to 60 MPH in 4.4 seconds. Further bolstering

its dynamic credentials is standard Magnetic Ride

Control with an exclusive Track chassis mode coupled

with enhanced premium ZF steering. Front Brembo

®

brakes with available high-output brake linings deliver

a confident and consistent pedal, while a standard

electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) helps

increase control, stability and acceleration. The CTS

Vsport is the perfect addition to the V-Series legacy.

3.6L TWIN TURBO DIRECT-INJECTION V6 ENGINE

THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

08 PERFORMANCE: HANDLING & SUSPENSION

The all-new CTS is the lightest rear-wheel drive car in

its class, with a proven dynamic chassis that’s nearly

200 lbs. lighter than the BMW 528i. With advanced

lightweight materials used extensively throughout,

including aluminum alloy for the hood and doors, the

CTS Sedan is nothing short of an engineering marvel.

And, to validate its credentials, we tested, stressed and

pushed the CTS beyond its limits on Germany’s famed

Nürburgring. From there, we brought it back home to

fine-tune it for a dynamic yet sophisticated ride.

CTS VSPORT PREMIUM / Phantom Gray Metallic

Engineering a vehicle this thrilling and sophisticated requires a blueprint comprised of

exceptional elements. Pair the potent 272 HP 2.0L Turbo or the available 321 HP 3.6L

V6 engine with performance-tuned RWD or available AWD with active-torque technology.

Maximize traction with an electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) when you choose

the mighty 420 HP Twin Turbo V6 in the Vsport. But no matter which powertrain you opt

for, you’ll always benefit from a solid platform with a fully independent suspension for

excellent responsiveness and refinement. The latest generation of Magnetic Ride Control

is available, featuring up to four selectable modes—Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice and Track—for

uncompromising handling and control. Stopping power is consistently confident, thanks

to the racing-inspired Brembo

®

front brakes. And a premium ZF steering system works in

unison to provide an enhanced connection between the driver, the vehicle and the road.

EXPECT AN

INSTANT RESPONSE.

BREMBO BRAKES

We combined forces with the world-

renowned brake experts at Brembo to

engineer the fixed-caliper, aluminum

4-piston front brakes that deliver

remarkable stopping power and

consistent pedal feel.

MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL

The available revolutionary Magnetic Ride

Control seamlessly adjusts to the road up

to 1,000 times per second, maintaining

excellent body control, chassis composure

and a comfortable ride.

ELECTRONIC LIMITED-SLIP

DIFFERENTIAL

Maximum grip means maximum performance.

The CTS features an available electronic Limited-

Slip Differential (eLSD) that ensures the highest

amount of engine torque is transferred to the rear

wheel with the most traction.

LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM DOORS

Over one-third lighter than traditional steel doors,

the use of aluminum not only helps save fuel, but

also improves vehicle balance and performance.

12 EXTERIOR

UN-UNDERSTATED.

CTS PERFORMANCE COLLECTION / Radiant Silver Metallic

To achieve a physique this striking, countless

hours were spent refining the

bold look of the

reimagined CTS Sedan. No

element, no detail,

no characteristic was

left untouched. A long,

low profile with a

short front overhang yields

an athletic yet

sophisticated presence. Finely

sculpted lines

flow from front to rear, giving it a

pulled-back stance. And a strong, confident grille

completes a look that is unmistakably Cadillac.

14 EXTERIOR DESIGN

A STATEMENT

IN EVERY DETAIL.

16 EXTERIOR DETAILS

BOLD, CONFIDENT GRILLE

Accentuating its striking design, the

sleek grille is framed in a low-gloss

Galvano satin-chrome finish, adding

just the right touch of sophistication.

DIRECTIONAL HID HEADLAMPS

To help light the way, the brilliant High-

Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps are

available with Adaptive Forward Lighting.

Sensors react to the car’s speed and

steering, directing the headlamps to cast

light precisely into your path of travel.

INTEGRATED REAR SPOILER

Seamlessly fused with its sculpted lines,

the rear decklid spoiler ingeniously

doubles as an LED center brake lamp.

Striking from every angle, the distinct look of the CTS begins with a refined grille, accented by

a Galvano satin-chrome finish. Then, flanked by vertical LED signature lighting with available

adaptive High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, your eye is pulled from the grille to the

filleted crease work on the stunning aluminum hood. From there, the silhouette takes shape as

the dramatic angle of the acoustically laminated windshield slopes back. Subtle touches like the

available LED illuminated door handles spark intrigue as the precision-sculpted side creases draw

you to the rear. There, you’ll find artful touches like an integrated dual exhaust and a decklid

spoiler that ingeniously doubles as an LED brake lamp. The CTS delivers an unmistakable presence

down to every perfectly shaped detail.

seating. This unique, luxurious leather is

renowned for its ultra-soft feel and refined

appearance.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The dynamism created by the CTS’s stunning exterior is carried into the

cabin. With a brilliant design that revolves harmoniously around you, controls

are placed precisely where the hand naturally falls. Authentic materials,

including the choice of exotic woods, anodized aluminum, or carbon

fiber heighten this premium experience. Even the exceptional, available

leather hides are skillfully joined using hand cut-and-sewn craftsmanship.

Personalize your CTS with one of eight unique interior environments featuring

an array of meticulously choreographed colors and trims, accented by the

warm glow of Ambient Interior Lighting. A Bose

®

Surround Sound System

provides a concert-like experience, while unwanted frequencies are hushed by

Bose

available features like 20-way adjustable front seats, reconfigurable gauge

cluster, full-color Head-Up Display and dramatic UltraView sunroof.

OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

26 DRIVER AWARENESS TECHNOLOGIES

The best safety measure is avoiding a collision in the first

place, which is why we developed the available Driver

Awareness Package. Using strategically placed advanced

radars and cameras, it helps alert you to potential hazards

you may not even see. Ever-vigilant, the groundbreaking

Safety Alert Seat intuitively notifies the driver with pulses

when the Lane Departure Warning System, Forward

Collision Alert and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are activated.

What’s more, the package also includes Side Blind Zone

Alert, Rear Vision Camera, Rainsense automatic wipers, and

IntelliBeam automatic high- and low-beam headlamps.

Building on the extensive elements of the

Driver Awareness Package, the available

Driver Assist Package adds even more

intelligence. Equipped with Front/Rear

Automatic Braking, the CTS Sedan can apply

the brakes for you to help prevent certain

low-speed collisions. There’s also full-speed

Adaptive Cruise Control,

1

which seamlessly

adjusts to the ever-changing flow of traffic,

and Automatic Safety Belt Tightening for

additional convenience and safety.

Perhaps most impressive of all, when

equipped with Automatic Parking Assist,

the all-new CTS Sedan can automatically

steer itself into a parallel parking space with

nearly effortless execution.

1. Adaptive Cruise Control is no substitute for the driver’s personal responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver needs to

remain attentive to traffic and road conditions and provide the steering, braking or other inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE, WITH AN

EVEN HIGHER IQ.

28 DRIVER ASSIST AND AUTOMATIC PARKING ASSIST

A HIGHLY INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO

PERSONAL PROTECTION.

We started with a protective safety cage constructed with

ultra-high-strength steel alloys for exceptional rigidity. We then

surrounded it with strategically placed crumple zones and added

preventive safety features like StabiliTrak Electronic Stability

Control and full-function traction control systems. From there,

a sophisticated antilock braking system (ABS) with Auto-Dry

functionality and Electronic Braking Force Distribution help

balance stopping power between the front and rear brakes.

Then there’s the confidence that comes with ten standard

airbags

1

and OnStar

®2

with Automatic Crash Response. In most

crashes, built-in sensors in your vehicle can automatically send

an alert to an OnStar Advisor, who is immediately connected

into your car to help. Among its many anti-theft innovations is

an available tilt sensor that sets off an alarm when the system

senses a change in the vehicle angle, such as would occur when

the vehicle is lifted for wheel theft or unauthorized towing.

1. Always use safety belts and the correct restraint for your child’s age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a

rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger air bag. See the Owner’s Manual

and child safety seat instructions for more safety information. 2. Visit onstar.com for coverage map, details and system limitations. Services vary by model and conditions. OnStar acts as a

link to existing emergency service providers.
