2014 Cadillac CTS 2.0T
Redesigned in full just last year, Cadillac’s CTS sedan is getting a slew of minor changes for 2015. They address small issues and also bring the car up to the latest GM and Cadillac spec. That means the new Cadillac crest, which debuted on the 2015 ATS coupe, is now affixed up front and GM’s latest OnStar setup with 4G LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspot is standard.
Like a huge chunk of other General Motors cars, the CTS’s 4G LTE OnStar feature also includes remote door locking/unlocking, vehicle diagnostic reports, and maintenance notifications. The CTS’s self-parking tech gains the ability to pull into perpendicular spaces—essentially, it now can turn the CTS 90 degrees, which is sort of like asking a toilet to wipe for you. A wireless phone-charging pad dubbed Cadillac DockSpot is a new option, as are Crystal White and Dark Adriatic Blue paint colors.

On the safety front, lane-keeping assist and lane-change alert have been added to the optional Driver Awareness package. On the Big Brother front, the 2015 CTS gains a Teen Driver feature, which enables parents to limit vehicle speed and audio volume, as well as download a “report card” outlining. Info like wide-open throttle events, anti-lock braking engagement, top speed, mileage, and more is recorded for parents’ eyes. The Teen Driver software does not seem to include any kind of back-seat monitoring.
Buyers can still look forward to three engine choices—a 272-hp 2.0-liter turbo four, a 321-hp 3.6-liter V-6, and a 420-hp 3.6-liter twin-turbo V-6—as well as the option of pairing all-wheel drive with the turbo four or naturally aspirated six. Pricing is forthcoming, but don’t expect the base to move much beyond the 2014 model’s $46,025 opening bid.
