2016 Cadillac CT6 Flagship Priced at $54,490
Pricing and equipment details of Cadillac’s new flagship sedan have been revealed with the CT6 starting at $54,490 and topping out at $84,460.
The flagship sedan is offered with your choice of three engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a 335 hp 3.6-liter V6 and a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine that is rated to make 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
While the four-cylinder turbo model is the base model, and arrives with rear-wheel drive, Cadillac also shared the price points of the V6 models equipped with all-wheel drive. The 3.6-liter V6 model with all-wheel drive will cost $56,490 while the twin-turbo V6 model with all-wheel drive will set you back $65,390.
The Cadillac CT6 will offer magnetic ride control, an on-demand all-wheel drive system, night-vision technology, a display screen and camera setup that is used in place of a rear-view mirror and a 34-speaker sound system.
Cadillac again pointed out that they are planning a plug-in hybrid version of the CT6, though they are keeping quiet about additional details of that model until closer to the launch date.
Cadillac also revealed what CT6 stands for: “Cadillac Touring 6”

Great looking automobile, but I question the 4-cyl in this model and the lack of a V8. And, it doesn't have to be a 'V' model V8, just an injected one with no super or turbo charging. Got to have the smoothness of a V8 in a Cadillac, the sound of a V8. My first car was a 48' Cadillac '62'-Series convertible, with the last Caddy Flathead V8.
You can get a 400hp sedan from other manufacturers a LOT cheaper. This is priced against the E class and the 5 series, but the Caddy just doesn't stack up against either. I'm hoping the next Caddy will be one that I'd put in my garage.
