The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of the Cadillac CTS Sedan family has grown slightly for the 2016 model year compared to the 2015 model. According to a pricing analysis performed by GM Authority, the MSRP of the 2016 model has grown between $15 and $915, depending on the trim level.
The biggest increase is the $915 hike for the Performance and Premium trim levels with the all-new, naturally-aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX engine, while the smallest mark up is the $15 increase for the Luxury trim level of the model with the 2.0L Turbo I4 LTG engine. Even so, the starting price of the CTS remains roughly $5,000 less than that of direct rival — the BMW 5 Series, which starts at $50,200 and delivers with less power and less standard equipment than the CTS.
Following is an MSRP comparison of the 2016 CTS Sedan to the 2015 CTS Sedan based on trim level:

Comments
There’s no doubt that with the exception for the C7 Corvette, Cadillac’s GEN 3 CTS is possibly the best car America has made in the last 50 years; but Cadillac may have made a tactical error in not offering a 2-door coupe.
Amazing car; unfortunately, Cadillac four door sedans look so similar. GM should have purchased Pininfarina in an effort to up creativity and globalize design.
Cadillac makes a better car than anyone. Sadly, no one will pay 70 Grand for a play it safe Camary-like sedan.
The CT6 w/3.6L and AWD starts at just $56,490. A 2016 CTS 3.6L AWD will start at……….$56,280+995??? I can’t imagine the CTS will not be significantly impacted by the new “value priced” CT6?
