Cadillac Prices 2016 CT6 starting at $53,495

2016 Cadillac CT6 Range-Topping Sedan Slated for March Launch
NEW RANGE INCLUDES CT6 STARTING AT $53,495; CT6 PLATINUM PRICED FROM $83,465
Cadillac

November 2, 2015


Cadillac extends the top of its range with the 2016 Cadillac Touring 6 sedan, which begins production in Detroit in January, with initial shipments to dealers in March. Through the integration of new technologies, the first-ever Cadillac CT6 creates a new formula for the range-topping sedan and substantially expands the Cadillac portfolio.

Thanks to pioneering new vehicle manufacturing and design methods, the CT6 achieves dynamic performance, efficiency and agility previously unseen in large luxury cars. The CT6 product line similarly aims to refresh and broaden the range of consumers in the prestige class of luxury sedans. In the US market, the 2016 Cadillac CT6 sedan is priced from $53,495, with the highest level CT6 Platinum model starting at $83,465.

“The CT6 is an entirely new approach to prestige luxury, adding driving dynamics and technology while reducing the bulk of traditional large sedans,” said Johan de Nysschen, president of Cadillac. “With the CT6, Cadillac has a competitive edge: our use of advanced lightweight construction and innovative technology, it is prestige luxury reimagined.”

Offering three engine choices, and a broad range of high-technology systems and luxury amenities, the first-ever CT6 presents a wide range of options and price points to draw new buyers.
  • CT6 2.0L Turbo – Starting at $53,495
  • CT6 3.6L V6 with AWD – Starting at $55,495
  • CT6 3.0L Twin Turbo V6 with AWD – Starting at $64,395

Customers can place orders now with dealers and view additional product information at cadillac.com.

The Cadillac CT6 sedan takes drivers to a higher threshold of involvement, with technologies to enhance situational awareness, chassis systems – including active technologies – that make the most of control in all conditions, and powertrains led by an all-new Cadillac Twin Turbo engine. The Cadillac 3.0L Twin Turbo V-6 engine is rated at 400 horsepower (298 kW) and 400 lb-ft of torque (543 Nm); an all-new, 335-horsepower 3.6L V-6 and Cadillac’s award-winning 2.0T four-cylinder engine are also available. All engines are paired with eight-speed automatic transmissions.

The rigid, lightweight architecture provides a crucial foundation for the sedan’s segment-challenging agility, enhanced by active-on-demand all-wheel drive, active rear steering and Magnetic Ride Control on the available Active Chassis System.

Cadillac has made technological strides with in-cabin advances, as well, including the Rear Camera Mirror, Enhanced Night Vision technology and the pioneering 34-speaker Bose® Panaray® audio system.

Cadillac this spring announced that the CT6 will be available with plug-in hybrid electric technology, as the company continues its development of highly capable alternative powertrain vehicles. Further details for the CT6 Plug-In Hybrid model will be announced closer to that vehicle’s launch.

The 2016 Cadillac CT6 will be built at the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant on the east side of Detroit. Cadillac in April auctioned the first retail production CT6 to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.

Bulls-eye! V6 AWD for $55k? Yes please. Will this push CTS pricing down?

CTS V6 AWD: $56k
CT6 V6 AWD: $55k

Why would anyone choose the CTS over the CT6?

It is on the same price level as the XTS. Is that going away?

I suppose this provides the context to Cadillac's head saying CTS had no direct replacement. CT6 and CT? will straddle its current price point.

Yup.

That starting price also leaves room for the true S-class killer.

Much cheaper than I would have thought.

Naming scheme is still very, very stupid though.

XTS starts 9k cheaper, but quite an upgrade over it. Really smart, competitive pricing here.

Yes the names are confusing and not a good idea. Nice looking car though.

Good looking, good price point, needs a real name. I guess I am old school.

Great starting price, but what the heck does another 30 grand get you in the platinum? Gold plated dash? lol j/k.

That's one heck of a price difference between starting and top tier trim.

Even with the 3.0 turbo 6 starting at 65, that's still a 20K+ spread.
