The 2014 Cadillac CTS is a midsize sport luxury sedan. The vehicle represents the third generation of the CTS vehicle family and was unveiled on Tuesday, March 26 at the 2013 New York International Auto Show.
Strategic Shift
Whereas the first- and second-generation Cadillac CTS straddled the compact and midsize sedan space, the introduction of the all-new 2013Â ATSÂ allowed Cadillac to position the third-generation CTS to clearly compete in the midsize class against segment stalwarts such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6, and Lexus GS. As such, the all-new CTS is larger than the outgoing second-generation model to more effectively compete against midsize luxury offerings from Germany and Japan.
Longer, Lower, Leaner
Diving right into the heart of the midsize luxury segment, the new CTS is longer, lower, and leaner than its predecessor. Lightweight technologies, such as aluminum door structures, contribute to a lower curb weight and near-perfect 50/50 weight balance, while the new Vsport model offers the new Twin-Turbo V6 LF3 engine as well as the brand’s first eight-speed automatic transmission.
The all-new 2014 CTS launched at the end of 2013 as a 2014 model year vehicle. Although unconfirmed, the high-performance CTS-V variant is expected to launch two years later for the 2016 model year.
The 2014 CTS marks an evolution of Cadillac’s Art & Science design philosophy first introduced on the first-generation Cadillac CTS. The latest adaption of Art & Science is also present on the 2013 Cadillac ATS.
While growing five inches (127 mm) in length, including a 1.2-inch longer wheelbase, the roofline and cowl – the base of the windshield – on the 2014 CTS are about an inch lower. These dimensions complement the longer exterior to accentuate the car’s lean aesthetic.
Cadillac’s shield grille and signature vertical lighting elements – including LED front signature lighting detail – undergo a further evolution on the new CTS. The grille is wider, with a more detailed texture, while the headlamps flow up with the hood line, incorporating crystalline LED light guides for a technologically advanced appearance with more uniform illumination.
The 2014 CTS will first launch as a traditional sedan. Whether CTS wagon and coupe variants will follow is currently unknown, but the additional body styles have been reported to be under consideration by Cadillac.
The high-performing CTS-V is expected to reach the market sometime in 2015 as a 2016 model year vehicle, and will likely be powered by a force-inducted V8. The engine will likely be the supercharged LT4 V8 found in the 2015 Corvette Z06.
The new CTS features a roomier, driver-centric cockpit with integrated technology and hand-crafted appointments, all of which complement the exterior and support the CTS sedan’s driving experience. Eight available interior environments are offered, each trimmed with authentic wood, carbon fiber, or aluminum. Leather seating is available, including available full semi-aniline leather, with hand-crafted, cut-and-sewn executions.
The 2014 Cadillac CTS offers with three engines upon launch, including:
- 2.0 liter turbo four cylinder (LTG) making 272 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque
- 3.6 liter naturally-aspirated six cylinder (LFX) making 321 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque
- 3.6 liter twin turbo six cylinder (LF3) making 420 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque mated to GM’s first-ever eight-speed automatic transmission
The third generation CTS utilize a variant of GM’s new rear-wheel drive Alpha vehicle architecture. The platform made its debut on the 2013 Cadillac ATS and is also expected to underpin the next-generation 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, among other vehicles. The Alpha vehicle architecture offers weight advantages over the Sigma platform that underpinned the first- and second-generation CTS.
Based on the Alpha platform, the high-performing rear-drive architecture of the award-winning ATS sport sedan, the 2014 CTS moves squarely into the prestigious class of midsize luxury sedans. It is the segment’s lightest car, enabling the most agile driving dynamics in the class. A range of power-dense powertrains underpin its performance, including the all-new Twin-Turbo V6 LF3 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.
While stretched in overall length and wheelbase, the all-new CTS sedan has a lower curb weight than the preceding model and weighs about 200 pounds (90 kg) less than the BMW 528i. Lightweight features, including Cadillac’s first aluminum door structures, contribute to the lower weight and a 50/50 weight balance. Magnetic Ride Control, the coveted real-time damping system, is available on base CTS models — a first for the CTS.
The combination of the new Twin-Turbo V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission lead the CTS sedan’s powertrain lineup in the new CTS Vsport, a new trim level for the model. The powerplant is the first twin-turbocharged engine ever offered by Cadillac, while the gearbox is the brand’s first eight-speed automatic transmission.
The CTS Vsport also features:
- 18-inch aluminum wheels with Pirelli summer-only performance tires (19-inch wheels with all-season tires are available)
- Sport-tuned suspension with enhanced spring rates and stabilizer bars
- One-inch-wider rear wheels with P275/35R18 tires
- A quicker steering ratio with sport-tuned steering efforts and response
- Brembo disc brakes with aluminum calipers and available high-performance brake pads
- Heavy-duty track cooling package
- Driver-selectable track mode with specific steering rate and Magnetic Ride Control calibrations for greater track performance
- Electronic limited-slip differential that enhances capability on the track – including optimal acceleration out of turns
The 3.6L Twin-Turbo V6 LF3 engine is SAE-certified at 420 horsepower (313 kW) and 430 lb.-ft. of torque (583 Nm), making it the most power-dense six-cylinder engine in the segment. A pair of smaller turbochargers helps provide more immediate power on demand, with approximately 90 percent of peak torque available from 2,500 rpm to 5,500 rpm. That gives the engine a broad torque curve that customers will feel as strong, willing power in almost all driving conditions, helping the CTS Vsport reach 60 mph in an estimated 4.6 seconds.
The 2014 CTS is also available with the naturally-aspirated 3.6L V6 LFX rated at an estimated 321 horsepower. It’s also matched with the new paddle-shift eight-speed automatic in rear-wheel-drive models (or six-speed automatic with all-wheel drive). The 2.0L I4 LTG turbocharged engine is rated at an estimated 272 horsepower and paired with a six-speed automatic.
The new paddle-shift eight-speed offers efficiency and performance advantages over a six-speed transmission, including 1.5-percent greater fuel economy.
Excellent power-to-weight ratios and racetrack-honed suspension geometries established with the development of the ATS enabled engineers to advance the performance of the CTS with greater feelings of feedback, control, and response. The comparatively low curb weight helps make the most of the driving experience by allowing the use of lighter-weight chassis components, which reduces unsprung weight to enable more precise handling without compromising ride quality.
With the standard Brembo brakes, the CTS sedan’s low mass and optimal brake sizes are expected to give it braking performance that is among the best in the segment.
Suspension and driver control highlights also include:
- Multi-link MacPherson strut front suspension with a double-pivot design
- Five-link independent rear suspension
- Available all-wheel-drive
- Premium electric, variable-assist power steering gear from ZF Steering Systems
- Available Magnetic Ride Control real-time damping system
- Choice of 17-, 18- and 19-inch aluminum wheels
A number of aluminum components are used at the front suspension system, while the rear suspension is mostly steel. This helps offset the weight of the engine and transmission at the front of the vehicle, helping the CTS deliver its near-perfect weight balance while reducing noise and vibration.
Active grille shutters are included on some models, improving aerodynamic performance on the highway to enhance fuel efficiency.
The CTS sedan seamlessly blends comfort, convenience and safety technologies with the interior’s hand-crafted appointments and flowing design. Active safety features provide alerts and intervene when necessary to help avoid crashes.
At the core of the car’s intuitive technologies is CUE, Cadillac’s infotainment system that uses controls inspired by smartphones and tablets as well as commands to access information and entertainment data. An eight-inch, high-resolution color touch screen with haptic feedback allows users to swipe and drag preferences. Bluetooth connectivity with natural voice recognition is standard with CUE, along with USB ports and SD card slots.
An available 12.3-inch high-resolution, configurable LCD instrument cluster display complements the CUE display and supports the active safety features. It offers drivers four layouts – from basic to performance-oriented – each delivering bold, crisp graphics tailored to the level of vehicle information desired. A full-color, configurable head-up display is also available.
Among other CTS technologies are:
- Cadillac’s first 20-way adjustable front seats
- Motorized cup holder lid in the center console
- Heated and ventilated front seats and heated steering wheel
- Electronically locking glove box
- Electronic park brake
- Adaptive remote start feature that also activates the climate control system
- Standard Bose 11-speaker sound system and available Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound system with 13 speakers
The new CTS sedan offers Automatic Parking Assist, which enables the car to park itself in parallel spaces. It uses ultrasonic sensors to locate a suitable space and maneuver the car into the space, with the driver only required to place the car into reverse and apply the accelerator and brake pedals. Ultrasonic rear park assist is standard.
Ultrasonic sensors, as well as radar and cameras, support the CTS’s advanced safety features to help prevent crashes. Among the most sophisticated is Front and Rear Automatic Braking , which relies on short-range radar technology and ultrasonic sensors to help the driver prevent front and rear low-speed collisions via a progression of alerts that extend to complete braking, if necessary.
A Driver Awareness Package includes Cadillac’s patented Safety Alert Seat technology. It uses vibrating pulses in the driver’s seat to alert the driver of an imminent collision, or to vehicles in the car’s blind spot. The seat vibrates on the left or right side, or both sides simultaneously, depending on the direction of the risk.
Automatic safety belt tightening is offered in the new CTS — GM’s first application of the technology. It automatically takes slack out of the safety belts when buckled and offers real-time, active adjustments during driving to ensure optimal tension and comfort. Additional available safety features include:
- Full-speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control
- Panic Brake Assist
- Forward Collision Alert
- Automatic Collision Preparation (with brake prefill)
- Lane Departure Warning
- Side Blind Zone Alert
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Rear Vision Camera With Dynamic Guidelines
- Adaptive Forward Lighting
- Active pedestrian protection system (in global regions where required)
The new CTS sedan also features 10 standard air bags, including front-passenger dual-stage low-risk deployment, which makes the most of the air bag trajectory and inflation rate based on the occupant’s size, position and severity of the crash.
Additionally, OnStar is standard for one year. It can use GPS and cellular phone technology to automatically call for help in the event of a crash. OnStar service also includes myCadillac and OnStar RemoteLink mobile apps, which offer vehicle information, controls, and OnStar services via the customer’s iPhone or Android smart phone.

Before the 2014 CTS was publicly unveiled at the New York International Auto Show on Tuesday, March 26, pictures of the all-new model leaked three times:
- The first took place on February 6, 2013 and featured spy photos of CTS in a parking garage.
- The second took place on March 24, 2013 and featured five official photos of the CTS.
- The third took place on March 25, 2013 — the day before the official unveiling of the 2014 CTS, and posted even more CTS photos.
