2018 Cadillac CTS Review
Intro
When it comes to cars that are under the ‘luxury sports sedan’ category, you’ll be glad to know that the 2018 Cadillac CTS offers a lot to the enthusiastic driver. The overall design allows it to smoothly work through curvy roads while standing out from the crowd. Let’s take a deeper look at what this vehicle has to offer.
Exterior
The exterior of the 2018 Cadillac CTS can be described as stunning, especially for those who prefer an edgier look. It surely is more athletic than the previous model. The 2018 model offers the new Satin Steel Metallic color. The height comes in at 57.2-inches while the width (without mirrors) is 72.2-inches. Furthermore, the total length is 195.5-inches. The grille, with the logo in the top-center, is quite huge and gives this car a magnificent look. You’re sure to notice the sharp-edged and a more linear design that sets this range apart from its rivals. The wheel aluminum with run-flat tires. You can customize the appearance of the wheels by selecting from a variety of 15 finishes. The base model has a panoramic sunroof as an option.
Interior
The interior cabin of the 2018 Cadillac CTS isn’t too different from the previous model. You’ll appreciate the high-quality materials used throughout the cabin and the leather trim, however, the designing elements might not be as luxurious as some might want. The new model offers a heating steering wheel which can automatically turn when the weather is cold. The comfort levels might not be up to everyone’s standards. While the front seats are comfortable, the rear-seat passenger space is probably going to feel limited. With the 2018 Cadillac CTS, you get all the popular infotainment features such as an onboard WiFi hotspot, two additional USB ports. There’s also an 8-inch touchscreen for easy access to the infotainment system.
