The 2017 Cadillac CTS will receive a new Carbon Black Package, according to a June 6th update to GM vehicle order guides.
Available on certain trim levels of the 2017 Cadillac CTS Sedan (as outlined below), the new Carbon Black Package includes:
- Performance front bucket seats (AE4)
- Black chrome grille (TTT)
- V-Series spoiler
- 18″ premium painted alloy wheels (PXZ)
The package is assigned GM RPO code A7A and requires:
Interior color
- Jet Black with Jet Black accents (HOK) or
- Light Platinum with Jet Black accents (HOL)
Exterior color
- Crystal White Tricoat (G1W) or
- Red Obsession Tintcoat (G7E) or
- Phantom Gray Metallic (G7Q) or
- Black Raven (GBA)
The Carbon Black Package is available on the following CTS engine configurations and trim levels:
| Engine | Wheel Drive | Trim Level |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0L Turbo LTG | RWD | Luxury 1SE |
| 2.0L Turbo LTG | AWD | Luxury 1SF |
| 3.6L LGX | RWD | Luxury 1SN |
| 3.6L LGX | AWD | Luxury 1SP |
| 3.6L Twin Turbo LF3 | RWD | V-Sport 2SJ |
| 3.6L Twin Turbo LF3 | RWD | V-Sport Premium 2SK |
The CTSÂ Carbon Black Package is not available with:
- Rear spoiler (5V5, LPO)
- Any other wheels
We should add that it appears that the CTS Carbon Black Package replaces the CTS Black Chrome package, which was announced in March. As such, we expect that vehicles equipped with the Carbon Black package will look similar to those with the Black Chrome package, with the exception of not having body-colored door handles while adding the V-Series rear spoiler and performance front bucket seats, two features that the Black Chrome models didn’t have.

The CTSÂ Carbon Black Package joins a similar package on the 2017 Cadillac ATS, expectedly named ATS Carbon Black Package.
Comment
My last GMC Terrain was painted Carbon Black Metallic and it is a very cool color . It was an option on the Terrain back in 2012 . Should make the CTS look sharp .
