2014 Cadillac CTS

SCULPTED, SOPHISTICATED, REAR-WHEEL DRIVE, NONSMOKER, CADILLAC COUPE STYLE! The 2014 Cadillac CTS Coupe is one of those designs that simply does not blend into traffic. Low, wide, sharply creased, and dramatically proportioned, it represents a particularly expressive period in Cadillac design. Finished in White Diamond Tricoat, this rear-wheel-drive coupe pairs that unmistakable shape with a naturally aspirated V6, a sport-tuned chassis, and a cabin conceived as a genuine luxury grand tourer rather than an ordinary two-door derivative. There is substance beneath the styling, too. The 3.6-liter direct-injected V6 produces 318 horsepower, while the rear-wheel-drive layout, limited-slip differential, sport suspension, staggered 18-inch wheels, and four-wheel disc brakes give the CTS Coupe the mechanical foundation expected of a performance-minded luxury coupe. Why Shoppers Buy This Model The CTS Coupe appealed to buyers who wanted American luxury with a distinctly different personality. Cadillac did not simply remove two doors from the CTS sedan. The Coupe received its own dramatically tapered roofline, steeply raked windshield and rear glass, broad rear shoulders, vertical lighting, center-mounted dual exhaust outlets, and a nearly uninterrupted profile that still looks unusually bold more than a decade later. Its appeal extends beyond appearance. Rear-wheel drive gives the car the traditional layout enthusiasts expect from a sporting luxury coupe, while the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 delivers its power without relying on turbocharging. The result is a car that can settle comfortably into everyday driving yet still feels appropriately special when the road becomes interesting. There is also a scarcity factor that becomes more relevant with time. Cadillac ended production of this generation of CTS Coupe after the 2014 model year, making this the final model year of a distinctive body style that was never replaced by another CTS Coupe. For shoppers who appreciate memorable design, that gives the 2014 car an appeal that goes well beyond transportation. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition Contemporary professional reviews consistently recognized the CTS Coupe for the same qualities that remain compelling today: distinctive styling, strong V6 performance, composed handling, and a cabin with genuine luxury-car character. Edmunds described the 318-horsepower V6 as providing strong performance and praised the CTS Coupe as a stylish alternative within the luxury-coupe field. The broader second-generation CTS family also represented an important turning point for Cadillac. Its combination of rear-wheel-drive dynamics, ambitious design, and increasingly serious chassis development helped establish Cadillac as a credible alternative to established European sport-luxury marques. The Coupe distilled that formula into its most visually dramatic form. Warranty The odometer is hovering around the 84,286-mile mark. For a vehicle originally registered in December 2013, that works out to favorable annualized mileage. The supplied CARFAX information also shows 29 service records, a particularly useful ownership-history signal on a vehicle of this age. With continued proper maintenance, this CTS Coupe should have plenty of enjoyable miles ahead. Standard Features Cadillac gave even the standard CTS Coupe a substantial equipment roster. The cabin includes leatherette seating surfaces with leather inserts, eight-way power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio, cruise, and Bluetooth controls, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a Driver Information Center. Everyday convenience is strengthened by Keyless Access, keyless start, remote vehicle start, power windows, programmable power locks, electronic cruise control, and a power trunk release. The rear seat also folds to add useful cargo flexibility to a body style designed primarily around style and performance. Mechanical Features The h
