5 reasons to buy the 2015 Cadillac CTS

1. Three engine options 

The 2015 Cadillac CTS offers three engine options, so you can find the one that’s right for you. If you spend most of your time driving in the city, the standard 272-hp 2L turbocharged four-cylinder engine is great. For more acceleration, choose the 321-hp 3L V6 available on the CTS Luxury trim or higher, or the 420-hp 3.6L twin-turbocharged V6 that comes standard on the V-Sport trim.  

2. Sports trim 

If you love to spend time on the track, you’ll want to choose the Cadillac CTS V-Sport trim. With the 3.6L engine that comes standard in that trim, the 2015 Cadillac CTS V-Sport can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. You’ll also have sports-tuned steering and suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, and a “track mode” to enhance performance.  

3. Available driver assist 

After a long day at the office, it’s nice to know that you have technology on your side during the ride home. The Luxury trim and higher 2015 Cadillac CTS comes standard with Cadillac’s Driver Assistance package. That includes a vibrating driver’s seat that alerts you to danger on the road, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.  

4. Nice sound system 

The 2015 Cadillac CTS makes it easy to have your playlist at the ready. A 13-speaker Bose® surround-sound system is standard. Each CTS has Bluetooth® connectivity and three USB ports, which connect to the standard 8-inch touchscreen.  

5. Coupe or sedan
