About the 2020 Cadillac CT6-V
1st-generation CT6, after the 2019 refresh; final U.S. model year for CT6-V.
Cadillac positioned the CT6-V as the top performance version of its large luxury sedan: a roomy four-door that mixes thoughtful technology, handcrafted detail, and real speed. The appeal was not stripped-down race-car drama. Instead, CT6-V focused on effortless power, high-speed composure, and everyday comfort, giving Cadillac an American alternative to German high-performance luxury sedans.
Cadillac positioned the CT6-V as a high-performance large luxury sedan that balanced serious speed with comfort and technology. Its hand-built 550-hp twin-turbo Blackwing V8 works with a 10-speed automatic, while Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo front brakes, and a limited-slip rear differential help manage the power.
