2019 Cadillac CTS-V

This luxurious American made sedan can set your hair on fire and will also be a docile vehicle delivering your kiddo's to school, soccer practice or a night on the town with your better half.  Of course, we are talking about the 2019 Cadillac CTS-V that is a true 200 mph machine that has the goods to compete on the global stage for thousands less than those European machines. 

You will get the idea when you visit this Caddy “V” up close and personal with the friendly folks at Britain Chevrolet Cadillac located at 4495 E Interstate 30 Frontage Rd or by calling the dealership at 903.450.4216 and take your expectations for an enjoyable drive.  It first shows it's muscle when you start it with an aggressive bark which turns into a pleasant burble at idle. 

 When other luxury sedans have evolved into softer and more comfort orientated cars, this CTS-V has only sharpened its edges and put on more hard core muscle.  You will discover quickly that this luxurious sleek looking Cadillac is just blistering quickly, handling is pin-point and turns fuel into adrenaline.  The cool thing is the “V” doesn't even resemble the brute it is, unless you get closer.  The clues start with a second large lower grille and vents behind the wheel arches for additional cooling.  Walk to the rear and you will discover, along with sparkly LED lights, a very sporty working spoiler that sits above a pair of large twin exhausts.  Another thing that stands out are wide fenders, big tires and a vented hood. 

It really is a mix of luxury and menace with Cadillac's most powerful sports sedan because under its masculine hood lives a Super-Charged 6.2-liter V8 that punches out 640 angry horses with an awesome 630 lb-ft of asphalt grabbing torque for the rear wheels that puts you at 60mph in just a blink over 3 seconds.  The same engine that is in the Corvette Z06 and the Camaro ZL1 and has a very good fuel output of 14/21 which is thanks to the Active Fuel Management setup that deactivates selected cylinders. The CTS-V's engine is mated with a smooth shifting 8-speed automatic.

Beyond that, there is a strengthened chassis, adaptive suspension, monstrous Brembo brakes and the Magnetic Ride Control system. When you slide into those available Recaro seats, you will appreciate the high-end material mix of leather and carbon-fiber trim.  After all, it is a Cadillac. The “V” comes with the 12.3-inch instrument panel and a bright large 8-inch infotainment screen. It contains the updated Cadillac Cue infotainment system for your entertainment and communication desires.  Two USB ports are standard, as is Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. 

No better time than now to put that “fun factor” back into your drive times.  Don't dream it. Drive it.  You will not be disappointed.
