Spied: 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan In The Flesh
Sponsored Links
The fine folks at Jalopnik have gotten their hands on two photos of the 2014 Cadillac CTS sedan that aren’t covered by camo (for a change). Overall, what we see is the evolution of Cadillac’s Art & Science design language, with the mid-size sedan having a very ATS-like appearance.
But there are some distinct cues on this car that give it away as the next-gen CTS, including a larger grille, shorter headlamp clusters, and a different location of the side marker lights. Meanwhile, the back has an XTS-like appearance, with integrated exhaust tips, and an integrated rear spoiler.
Jalopnik says that the CTS will offer three engines, including the 2.0 liter turbo (LTG), 3.6 liter V6 (LFX), and GM’s upcoming 3.6 liter twin-turbo V6 (LF3) making roughly 400 horsepower.
Cadillac will unveil the new CTS at the New York International Auto Show in April. In the meantime, head on over to Jalopnik for their two pics!

Like it…similar to ATS
I actually don’t mind it. The current CTS won’t age well because it has so many angles and had less of a flow to it like the new Cadillacs. Why do you think 80s cars aged so badly? Because their designs were squared off a boxy with no flow. The new ATS combines angles with a flowing design which is so beautiful. The new CTS should do the same although I’m still getting used to that old fart rear end. It wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me ecause that front is so beautiful and there is a twin turbo 6 lurking under the hood.
I love the front end of the 2014 CTS im rather surprised and disappointed that GM didn’t take the rear end of the ELR especially the rear tail lights of the ELR that combined with the front end would make the 2014 a bit different from the XTS because it’s obvious that they attached the rear end of the XTS
The rear end of the car reminds me of the 2000 to 2005 generation Cadillac Deville’s.
I’m the biggest Caddy fan but I really hope they don’t mess up this car. Can’t wait to see it officially unveiled later this year.
Maybe the chinese market calls for beautiful and striking front ends and less bold rear styling?
If GM gets the volume it needs thats all that matters.
Cadillac needs overseas sales to continue to develop great product. The North American market is not large enough volume.
Actual release of the showcar come March in NY City will tell more.
Thanks for the posting of this new Cadillac.
Being larger than the current CTS is a turning point for me. I don’t need a larger vehicle than the present CTS which I own. The ATS is a bit small…so unless something new with the 2 door or the convertible lights my fire for ownership…I’ll probably hold for a bit and see what else is out there when the time comes to replace my current AWD 304hp FE2 CTS..
right now its been quite a few years of seamless ownership. If I could have had an LS3 or L99 for the same money with AWD as I paid for the 3.6 I would have been a little more pleased. The 3.6 DI is a good motor for the street. Nice acceleration and its only on the track at Montecello did I see a slight deficit ..(compared to the much more fun CTS V but alas the V didn’t have the AWD that works better as a daily driver.
I was able to get out of trucks and into a luxury sports sedan that was american made.
I don’t care for owning of german sports sedans because once out of warranty they potientially have much higher maintaince and repair costs.
thats what is great about american products….the cost of maintaince and repair is so much more in line with what I feel is approrpriate.
Good conversation.
