The latest offering from General Motors’ premium division Cadillac is the all-new CT6. It is their flagship model and Cadillac has thrown everything it can develop. This is an all-new car and sits right on the top of ATS, CTS and XTS. The CT6 is the crown jewel and the maker has made sure that the car receives all the attention it requires by revamping the entire brand strategy and looks. This is the first model to come out of the revamping strategy and 8 more models will follow suit till 2020.

The Cadillac CT6 is a full-size sedan from the American brand. The chassis is made up 11 different materials – out of which 30% is steel and 62% is aluminum. The CT6 is stiffer than ATS/CTS and comes with adaptive suspension and rear steering wheels. It measures 5.182 meters in length, 1.880 meters in width and 1.471 meters in height. The wheelbase is 3.109 meters long. This CT6 has 2 engine variants on launch. One is the 3.6 liter naturally aspirated engine that produces 335 BHP and the top-spec model is is powered by a 3.0 liter twin-turbo engine that produces 404 BHP (this is the first ever twin-turbocharged V6 with cylinder deactivation). We can expect a V8 in the future. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and the car comes with an all-time four-wheel-drive platform. All this adds up to a decent fuel consumption rate of 8.1 liters / 100 kilometers.
The Cadillac CT6 seats 5 passengers and has a dimensions close to 7-Series SWB. The interior cabin is the quietest for any Cadillac ever made. The CT6 has the world’s first rear-view-camera mirror. Yes, you can switch between conventional mirror and camera modes via switch. Moreover, the night vision now supports animal/pedestrian alerts as well. There is a new 10.2” CUE system with touchpad (like Lexus) and supports Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The retractable rear screens add a bit of panache. However, the highlight of the interior is the 34 speaker Bose Panaray sound system. The CT6 prices start from AED 235,000 till AED 287,000 MSRP.
