Meet the 2017 Cadillac CT6 Sedan Turbo Platinum AWD. There’s a mouthful and one heck of a name plate! Our tester black beauty was crammed with General Motors latest technology as befits the marques status as its top-of-the-line sedan and presents itself as a very capable driving machine under most road conditions. Did I mention that my wife was impressed with the seats (how she tends to initially gauge any vehicle)—especially with the massage feature?
Introduced to North America for model year 2016, the CT6 is considered Cadillac’s flagship sedan for good reason. Much like Buick now touts itself as a brand which produces automobiles of all shapes and sizes to appeal to a broader demographic, the Cadillac brand today, specifically this CT6, is not the land yacht of yesteryear your grandfather might have driven. To be clear, the CT6 is one of the most agile jewel-in-the-crown sedans on the market today, benefiting from a surprisingly low curb weight and excellent chassis tuning—for what is still considered a large vehicle, that is. The model we drove for a week was the Cadillac CT6 3.0 L V6 twin turbo, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
