2016 Cadillac CT6 Video, First Look
Cadillac is now ready to contend with the best luxury automakers.
After months of teasing, the American automaker pulled the wraps off its flagship CT6 sedan at the 2015 New York Auto Show and it was well worth the wait. Boasting a length of 204 inches, the CT6 is four inches longer than the BMW 7 Series it will contend with, while offering roughly an inch more legroom in the rear. It’ll offer a luxurious ride courtesy of Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control as well as a new Active Rear Steer system that’s designed for quick lower-speed responsiveness and better high-speed stability.

All engines will be paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
