There’s just something so right about a full-sized Cadillac luxury sedan. Presence, comfort, technology – these are the sort of things one would expect from such a vehicle. The Cadillac CT6 delivers on each of those fronts, and now, there’s a new 2017 Cadillac CT6 available on a dealer lot in Alabama.
The Cadillac CT6 first hit production for the 2016 model year, making this particular example the second model year offered. It’s a handsome vehicle, and comes with the original, pre-facelift styling (Cadillac tweaked the CT6’s styling for the 2019 model year). We covered the CT6 facelift at length in a previous post.
This particular CT6 is also covered in Bronze Dune Metallic paint, and sports 18-inch Multi-Spoke aluminum wheels with a Blade Silver painted finish. Up front, LED headlamps light the way forward, while LED tail lamps finish it off.
Moving inside, we find this 2017 Cadillac CT6 equipped with a variety of features and technology on offer. This includes 14-way adjustable driver and front passenger seats, an eight-inch color gauge cluster, eight-speaker audio, Bluetooth support, and a 10.2-inch diagonal color information display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration capability. The whole shebang is also covered in Light Neutral leather upholstery with Jet Black accents. There’s also some tasty Dark Brown high-gloss Sapele wood trim.
On the mechanical side of things, this CT6 is equipped with the turbocharged 2.0L LSY inline four-cylinder, which is tuned to produce upwards of 265 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. To note, the LSY engine was discontinued from the CT6 lineup earlier in the 2019 calendar year. The engine connects to the GM eight-speed automatic transmission and drives the rear wheels exclusively.
Now, this new 2017 Cadillac CT6 is available at Barkley Cadillac in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for $54,985.

With that 2.0T, it can keep looking for a home. I loved my ATS, except for the motor. It performed well, but was rough, raspy, noisy, and burned oil intermittently.
In California there are 23 new 2019 ATS Coupes available. They have been in inventory for months and months. GM will not lease them because they are 2019.
That kills 75% of the market force. I have a 2018 ATS 8000 miles with a residual of $24,800 which is worth $18,000 at best. Love Cadillacs but will seek BMW for next lease or purchase. Bimmer residuals are closer to real value, and I will finally never have to speak to a GM Financial Customer Service person again. Not the greatest experience.
GM FINANCIAL “CUSTOMER SERVICE” IS THE WORST! If you ever need their attention, just go on Facebook and rant and rave about them and a higher up with a brain will get in touch with you and resolve your problem or answer your questions! Ever since GM Financial became the only company that you could lease a GM car through, they are OVERWHELMED!
Our ’14 CTS with the 2.0 had also burned quite a bit of coolant by the time we got rid of it at 53k as well.
Huge car with a 2.0L @ $55k wonder why it wont sell. Slash price and take the hit.
Wonder what the original sticker price was?
All they need to do is send it to Florida and it will sell in a month. Old folks love these cars!
Why would anyone ever purchase an automobile weighing over 4000 pounds that had anything less than 300 horse power. I do not care about torque or top speeds. Going up hills, especially with occupants and luggage,would be a challenge not to mention the 20+ gallons of fuel. Is this the same GM that brought us the GTO, Chevrolet SS, and Oldsmobile 442. What happened?
You mean like a 4 cyl. Camaro w/ 275hp?
That weights 600 LBS less! Putting an engine with 10 less HP in a car this large and heavy was stupid!
I’d point out that this CT6 has the same hp as a 94-96 Fleetwood Brougham with an LT1 V8 but you’re intentions just seem to be mad for the sake of being mad so…..
MrR,
I just wrote this same thing on the new Canyon story as it too uses the GM 8 speed junk transmission !!
Scott3 you of all people here should know, your statement of ( the v6s of today have more power and get better mileage than the old V8s )
Explain the reality here !!!! Share the truth !!!
OK the make up of the single cam V8 only allows so much ” engine flow ” so as the torque of a single cam V8 goes up, the fuel usage goes UP !!
And almost at a linear relationship.
Yet the 4 cam 3.6 V6 engine has a torque curve that hits with all 4 valve per cylinder wide open ( you might say ) therefore using hardly any fuel at the low end of the RPM ( as the 3.6 hardly has any low end torque ) , to being a fuel pig at peak torque !!
So when you are driving a single cam V8, and you are at an engine rpm where you need torque, you have it more available, do to the more linear torque curve !!
This is why when all you GM people here preach CRAP of the 3.6 having more torque than the old V8s do, you are both right and wrong !!
Yes the 3.6 V6 has equal HP and torque, if not more, than the old V8s, and when you need zero torque the 3.6 V6 gives you better mileage !!
But you feel the torque curve when driving the vehicle !!
And GM has had a horrible time getting the smaller torque curve to the road !!!
YOU KNOW THIS Scott 3 !!!!! You are a race guy !!!!!
Without the use of the 10 speed, so you can stay in the smaller torque band, the 3.6 V6 DOES NOT FEEL like the old V8s !!!!!!
AGAIN, WHY, because the 3.6 V6 does NOT have a steady torque curve !!!
And MrR, the 2.0T is the same thing, only better than the 3.6 V6.
The 2.0T do to the turbo, lengthens the torque band out some, yet still not in a straight line increase ( or close, depending on the V8 cam )
So you are correct also MrR, the 2.0T at the EXACT peak HP does have more HP than an old V8.
BUT GM CAN NOT GET IT TO THE ROAD, with a 8 speed transmission !!!, you need at least 10 gears!!!
Because the torque band being shorter, you have to be in the correct gear to get the torque to the road.
Get it yet ?
The 3.6 V6 and the 2.0T NEED the 10 speed or the CVT as the smaller engines do, to be able to move !!
And even the 9 speed is not enough, as in the XT4 !!!!!
The CT4 will be worse with the 8 speed !!!!!!!!
The CT5 will feel OK and probably back to feeling like an old V8 again, but its 2020, and GM should have offered more than finally getting the feel back as 20 years ago !!
Get it yet !!
Take the two cars in and wheel dyno them.
And not straight 0-60, but even that you will be surprised, because GM has made them only shift good from a straight out floored 0-60. Go to the high end of the last gear, but not the next, then punch it, its a total failure on GMs part !
Maybe this wont work for you then, how about a Top Fuel dragster or something…..
Again, just being mad for the sake of being mad, no one cares……
MrR,
Not quite sure why you think I am mad but, I am not.
Also WHY do you guys here always go to the extreme ?
Did I say I wanted a Top Fuel Dragster ?
I would however like to buy a Cadillac that would out drive my son’s Chevy Cobalt !
And AGAIN ONE MORE TIME HERE !!!!!!! This is a done issue !
It wasn’t only me who didn’t want this vehicle with a 2.0T and a GM junk 8 speed transmission !
You see, GM no longer makes it, BECAUSE NO ONE IN THE USA WANTS IT !!!
We don’t have to debate this, the pocket book of debate has it settled !
But I am afraid GM is doing the same thing with the CT5 !!
Sure its the lower output 2.0T in the CT5.
Sure its the smooth as silk 10 speed transmission.
But this is my car, marketed for me a 50 year old male and younger !
And my wife’s car, a 49 year old professional woman !
We have owned 5 Cadillacs and WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER WITH A 2.0T !!!!
And sure you can order one !, However the resale on Cadillac is horrible in the US, and this is do to GM pushing JUNK to the dealers to sell ! Are there any 3.0TT on the dealer lots yet ? NOPE, so when a customer test drives a ALL NEW Cadillac CT5, their first impression will be a 2.0T base junk vehicle !! and NOTHING better from Cadillac to compare it to , down the road they go, and the competition has something better to try !!
I am not mad here, just want you people to quit telling GM that their stuff is ” Good Enough ”
It is NOT ” Good Enough “
Eh, MT and C&D weighed these at just over 3800 lbs. That’s pretty much what a CTS 2.0T AWD weighs – the one time I had one of those for a loaner it acquitted itself quite well; not a bahn-burner or fully loaded with people/stuff, but it surfed the low-mid-range torque quite well and had enough top end for highway work.
This car only weighs 3,647 pounds, although the 2.0 is too small for it.
Don’t you know?
Everyone here is Don Garlits and Chuck Yeager all in one, everyone has nitro’d Hellcats……
MrR,
Was this your decision to put this 2.0T 8 speed junk in this Cadillac ?
Are you the one we should be blaming for the CT6’s demise ?
I see nobody here asking for a race car !!!
Just Cadillac people wanting something better than the lowest junk engine GM could muster, and the most piece of junk transmission of GM’s in 30 years !
I guess thats why there were 2 other engines, but its still ok for you to be mad about this, go on with your madness and no one will care, have you ever considered therapy?
Probably government gas mileage restrictions! 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I’ll take it. It’s 10 years younger than my STS. I’ll take it. Just the way it is. I’ll take it. It’s not my choice of colors, but that’s a personal choice. I’ll take it. The only problem. Social Security Disability won’t give me a car loan.
You talk about hitting a brick wall, a couple months back they stopped production of the Volt check the discount offered on that vehicle. It never got over $2000 and it was tough getting that. Then they offer $4000 on a 2019 Blazer. Wow!!! I guess you only get a discount when they want to sell a new vehicle. Sky-high lease prices on the Volt not so on other vehicles that GM sells.
@R Henning
I hate to disagree with you but the lease on my 2020 Chevrolet Malibu premier is sky high! There were no incentives except the lease loyalty one and this lease is costing me just about $200 more than my previous 2016 Chevrolet Malibu premier with the same equipment except for a few minor changes! When I see some of these SUV commercials on TV I think I could’ve bought a Lincoln SUV or a Lexus SUV for hundreds less than what I’m paying for this Malibu! I’m sure I could’ve bought a Cadillac SUV for less than what I’m paying for this Malibu but I don’t need an SUV! I wanted a sedan and I wanted another Malibu Premier so it’s my fault for being the ass in paying this but it won’t happen again! I, too, have been a GM customer for decades and decades and decades and even longer, but that might be changing in 26 months when this lease is up!
I am currently looking at cars for my Grandfather who would like a new car. We are GM people. He is kind of all over the place but he sat in an Equinox and realized Suv’s weren’t for him. He test drove a Camaro (he’s been thinking about getting a Camaro for a while now) and he said it felt like he was in a cave and the windows were way too small for visibility. I had him sit in a Malibu and he liked it but he likes the price of the LT model and unfortunately that model has the new CVT and it scares us off. The Premier model is perfect but its a bit expensive. The Buick regal is a nice car but that stop/start stuff with no button to turn it off is not right. Idk we have been GM people for forever but between selling hardly any sedans anymore, the stop start crap and the CVT oh and how bad the visibility is in the Camaro, idk what’s going to happen. I’m thinking about having him sit in a Mustang and see if the visibility is any better. Also he said something about a Hyundai and the Sonata looks nice with a nice price as well and no stop start or CVT. We want to buy GM but they make it hard. I own a 2013 Cruze and its great and I don’t plan on getting rid of it any time soon but when I do, as of now, I dont know what to get. I dont want an SUV and the Malibu Premier with the regular transmission is a bit expensive for me. I got my 2013 Cruze LT for a bit under 20 grand and it has no start stop system.
The car you want is the Impala. Plenty of trim options, no CVT, good visibility. There are still plenty for sale at dealers, at great prices. If he can afford it, tell him to go with the Buick Lacrosse V6 with AWD, better car in every dimension. Not sure if the Lacrosse has start-stop that you can;t turn off, however.
A dealership near me was offering $15,000 dollars off several 2019 V6 Impalas.
Seems like a great suggestion…..now wait for the excuse as to why it can’t be the Impala.
He probably doesn’t like the font GM used on the power seat motor……
I agree GM lease agreements are not competitive on cars but (purposely) better on truck/SUVs.
Why not have decent lease rates across the board like Toyota and let the buyer decide what they want, I’m not gonna look for a sport sedan and leave with a 6000lb land yacht because because it’s more “profit” (dealers greedy azzes are guilty co-conspirators also) .
Barra and GM are going to have a rude awakening when they lose even more customers and market share because they are so limited in what they sell with loads of product holes. I’m hearing more and more disgruntled folks that go in looking for something they had before only to find it discontinued or grossly overpriced as in this case. Not everybody wants a frumpy underpowered overpriced CUV, myself included.
At 15 grand for a roller and you still have money left over to put a real motor in it. That’s all it’s worth.
Who at GM made the decision to put a 4 banger in this car?
@Bill
All the bigwigs sitting around a table in their ivory tower in Detroit along with their bean counters!
I know its terrible, its not like there were 2 other engine options either right?
That’s why this car is still at the dealership MrR, Because there was two other engine options !
I forget what are you mad about here again lifelongGMmoaner?
The engine? The transmission? Life in general?
I had a 16 Buick Regal and it was very zippy with the 2.0L Turbo. Really nice car a real hidden gem. However it had better suspension and was a smaller car than the Caddy. Strange thing is its about the same weight. .
I had a 2013 Buick Verano with a 2.0 L turbo engine that was great and peppy. After that I had a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu premier with the 2.0 L turbo engine and that car was great also! Now, I have a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu premier with the 2.0 L turbo engine and a nine speed transmission and I think this car is also great and peppy! All these engines were rated at 250 hp which for the Malibu and the Verano was perfect. If I’m not mistaken the 2.0 L in the Cadillac is 265 hp? But maybe that’s not big enough for a car that I’m sure weighs much more than my Malibu!
C&D’s last test of this car with the LSY 2.0T returned a lackluster 7.8 seconds in the 0-60 dash which might be adequate for certain owners that never go fast or above 55 MPH but for a car commanding this much coin that kind of performance is about what a base Malibu with the little 1.5T achieves with the added aggravation of a dull raspy noisy engine to boot. Most owners in this price class want a smooth quiet pleasing engine note.
The 2016 Buick I had I bought used with 6K miles on it. Paid about 20K for it about 1.5yr ago, 30 something new. Funny thing is it sat on a lot in Michigan for a year then they sent it down to Winter Haven FL and it sold in a month. That dealer is crazy for not trading that car off to another dealer.
I would not take this vehicle if they gave it to me !
By the time you paid the tax you would loose money !!
The 2.0T is whatever, we have one in our 1024 ATS and will never buy a 2.0T GM in any vehicle EVER no matter how they market it !
And the 8 speed GM junk transmission, I wouldn’t even take this vehicle and give it to my enemy !!
This is how I would take this vehicle:
If the owner of the dealership, signed a legal document, in front of a judge, stating that the dealership would fix the transmission WHEN the troubles occur !
And on that document it would state, normal transmission operation would be established by 5 independent transmission shops NOT GM or a GM DEALERSHIP !!
It just is NOT worth your time !!!! Trust me !!!
And the saddest thing is , GM is doing this exact same thing with the CT4, I get its a smaller car, but the 8 speed GM junk transmission ? DO NOT BUY ONE !!!
GM has ZERO customer support, and there is NO WARRANTY, on them !!!!!
The warranty states, there is warranty, but unless the vehicle is sitting on the side of the road, the transmission can do whatever!!
And GM is doing the same thing with the CT5 but with a 10 speed transmission !!
The 10 speed transmissions I have driven are silky smooth, so GM got that right, or Ford and GM together did.
But WHY would GM release their new Cadillac with the 2.0T, ONE MORE TIME,
—————————–nobody in the US wants a Cadillac with a 2.0T —————————————————————–
It doesn’t matter if the Europeans have a 2.0T or not !
Cadillac people DO NOT WANT IT !!!
But whatever GM and Cadillac !
Keep the status quo, that’s been working so far, Ha, Ha, Ha !!!!
When you wonder why Cadillac sales in the US are crap, here is your answer !!
When you wonder why your used Cadillac is worth, maybe a forth if that, of new price, here is your answer !!
When you wonder why GM no longer makes the CT6, here is your answer !!!
don’t worry. millions of dollars spent on customer research and gm found that people who like magic are perfectly happy with a 4 cylinder cadillac.
Yep, they sure did,
After all GM is still doing it !
They will prove it to us by killing the CT5 before it even gets a chance either !!!
WOW !!!
SAD !!!!!!
Funny really, I guess !!!!
Ok Boomer
Carmen, LifelongGMowner here, I am not a boomer, 52 years old, 5 Cadillacs under my belt !
Cadillac with a four-cylinder engine, eight speed transmission. Well at least they are using multi spoke aluminum wheels. Just imagine a CT6 with UNI spoke wheels made from Expanded Polystyrene Foam.
After you drive it out it will be worth $30,000! A 3 Year old car!
I rented one for a week. It’s typical of Cadillac. The seats are terrible. The suspension is far too soft. There is no road feel to the car at all. It’s engine is okay, but falls far short of Audi, Mercedes and BMW which Cadillac says is their competition. It’s also big and heavy. So, it’s good as a rental, but not to own.
Long RANT… I wouldn’t touch that Cadillac even if it was given to me free. with that 4 banger and the 8 sd tranny… it’ll be a dog and the dealer deserves to eat it, thinking that they could sell it, hope they fired the guy that ordered it….
GM is going downhill fast….
my previous 2015 Silverado with a 5.3 gas and the 6sp auto, that damn truck was a POS, the tranny never knew what to do…. So I complained, they said that its’s not a car. So the dealer sold me a 16 for the same payment, this one shifted a little better but again it never knew what gear it was on… Since the ALL NEW 17 Silverado came out I gave it a try, well the 6sp works 85% right most of the time, when it goes crazy, go to TOW HAUL and drive like that for a couple of miles, then it works OK till the next time….
ONLY reason I’m keeping it, I ordered it with the towing rear end and since it had direct injection, oit kicks ass,I get 18 mpg in heavy traffic and in highway running I get 22 mpg….
I made it into a LTZ by buying the signal mirrors for $200, bought a used auto dimming mirror for $35 off a buick on eBay and VOILA I have an LTZ.
instead of paying more that thank $1500 for the option.
Removed all badging, cost me $20 for 3M eraser wheel to remove the adhesive afterwards and it looks like a three year old TOYOTA, or a three year old RAM.
WHAT??? old tail lights (no leds) cheap projector headlamps with cheap HIDs. because the projectors are crap.
Good bye GM
Ernest……15,16,17…Why would you keep buying the same truck and expecting something different. So you like the towing package and MPG and don’t like transmission . Nothing is perfect. Have heard some solutions to GM trans shudder problems is better trans fluid may give that a try. 2017 is 3 years old..
i was thinking like a moron following his drug dealer and kept thinking that there was no way that GM can really screw up 3 years in a row. Well I guess i was in a drugged stupor that made me keep hitting my thumb with a hammer. And to think that they are putting 10 speed trannys on their trucks, the same tranny that together with Ford they developed, Ford is using it already om the Mustangs with no problems…. but look at GM screw up a perfectly good tranny. Fng idiots…
Anyway i was trying for the dealer to change the oil in the tranny, like they are doing with the 3/4 ton trucks, but the dealer said they can change it but the cost of the fluid will be more than $400. that is what GM pays them to change it under warranty on the 3/4 ton trucks.
And we are left sucking hind tit. That is the main reason I will never buy another GM product again.
waiting till I have some money saved to buy a RAM.
Ok I have a 18 Camaro 2SS and had 8spd Auto trans shudder in low gears. Once I had the warr trans fluid changed no issues. I love that car no issues bad ass. Hey maybe 400 bucks is worth it if you don’t have to buy a new truck. I never buy new, always get a car 1 – 2 yrs old. Depreciation sucks.
It looks like they are barely knocking any money off the sticker at that price. This is just a base RWD 2.0T model which started around 56K. Not too many options were available on this base version so i doubt the sticker was much more than 58-59K. They should be knocking around 10K off or more.
Well, this is interesting. I went to the website and it looks as if they’re selling it for the sticker price? The car was three years old doesn’t matter when it came out or when it was made it’s a 2017 model. This is most likely why it hasn’t sold!

The price is nuts, a CPO CT6 is in the low 30’s with a 4 banger, thats where this car should be.
A pretty car but that’s a lot of money for one so old and poorly equipped
