In its earlier years, Cadillac had little interest in making smaller cars. When market conditions finally convinced the company’s managers that the brand had to have them, the resulting products elicited little favorable reaction from consumers. The modern Cadillac CTS air suspension, however, is one entry-level Cadillac that has bucked that trend. With a cutting-edge design and extensive development work on Germany’s famed Nürburgring test track, the CTS sport sedan is aimed squarely at the class leaders in one of the industry’s most competitive segments. It’s also a bit larger than many of the cars that it competes against in terms of price and design philosophy. The second-generation Cadillac CTS sedan debuted for the 2008 model year. Compared to the original CTS, the new model is more refined and powerful. Overall body dimensions are similar to the original CTS rear air suspension, but there are an additional 2 inches of track width to give the sedan a more powerful stance. The first CTS’s lackluster interior has been remedied via a substantially higher level of quality and a more attractive design.
There have been two generations of the Cadillac CTS air suspension. Despite some obvious shortcomings in terms of interior design and quality, the first CTS went on to be one of Cadillac’s most popular models as well as the only main domestic entry to truly compete against the top European and Japanese entry-level luxury cars. It’s worth a look as a used or pre-owned model. For the second-generation CTS, Cadillac made substantial improvements regarding to interior design and materials quality. It’s an excellent luxury sport sedan, and consumers interested in this type of car should give it serious consideration. Two V6 engines are available. Standard power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 generating 258 horsepower, while the available 3.6-liter direct-injection (DI) V6 puts out 304 hp. Both engines can be equipped with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. The CTS coil suspension is also offered in both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations, though AWD models are limited to the base engine and automatic transmission.
