On top of that, if the new BMW M5 or Mercedes-Benz E63 aren`t your “thing”, especially since they are more expensive, then our opinions is opting for a Cadillac. And not just a Cadillac, it is the new 2018 CT6 V-Sport that the carmaker has just announced in the United States.

Unfortunately, we do not know the real price, but we can assure you it is less, way too less expensive than the new M5 from BMW.

The 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport is a gorgeously-looking sedan designed for daily use in the city or outside. It is also an excellent performance when it comes to raw power and extremely safe with the new systems.

We have a 4.2-liter twin-turbo waiting to be discovered under the hood. And once on the roads, it delivers at its best with pure 550 horsepower and amazing 850 Nm of torque. The power is also sent to the wheels via a ten-speed automatic transmission.

The all-new 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport also features tuned-up features like V-specific suspension tuning, valved exhaust, mechanical limited-slip rear differential, sport-tuned Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes as well as the massive 20-inch alloy wheels.

The interior is also high-end with premium leather upholstery, Bluetooth connectivity, stream-media, as well as the latest safety features that ensure a smooth and safe drive. You can admire the new 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport in the couple of photos we have got so far in the media gallery below!

The model won`t make it in Geneva but will definitely be a real delight in October, perhaps at the 2017 Paris Motor Show, with a new design language, exquisite interior and impressive performance under the hood.

As the name is suggests, the XT3 will sit below the XT5, but will carry over a lot of influences in terms of design. We are looking here at the same pentagonal mesh front grille with LED headlights, wedgier profile and a few more.

The new 2018 Cadillac XR3 will stand on the same platform as the XT5, which means a more lightweight architecture, modern front-wheel drive layout and the basic characteristics inside. All these will make it perfect against the likes of Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA Class, or BMW X1.

As far as the engine lineup goes, the new 2018 Cadillac XT3 will be equipped with a suite of four-cylinder pots, all variants coming with a low-mounted intercooler behind the front fascia, as revealed in the tests. The model will be also be paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and an optional all-wheel drive layout, which might become standard later on.

As for the prices, the 2018 XT3 is likely to cost around $30,000. More details will be revealed prior to its market debut in mid-2018.

The good news was issued by a recent report from an ordering guide on GM Authority`s official website, stating that the new updates will comprise both the exterior as well as the interior.

From a visual standpoint, the new CT6 will drop four of its current exterior colours but will add instead other three ones – Satin Steel Metallic, Stone Grey Metallic and Red Horizon Tintcoat. The carmaker has also installed a small high-pressure washer on the rear camera.

Stepping inside, the new 2018 Cadillac CT6 will add some new special goodies, like automatic heated steering wheel and auto-ventilated front seat system, both available on all variants.

The top of the line Platinum edition will add illuminated trunk sill plate, leather-wrapped driver-side airbag cover, as well as the long-expected CUE infotainment system with the latest 2.6 version.

The latest CUE infotainment system comes with the CUE Collection, a complex system which allows the driver to download or install numerous apps directly to the touchscreen, adding as well other functions, like the “Teen Driver”, which keeps track of the young driver`s skills and habits behind the wheel.

Besides the new gadgetries inside, the cabin will also be highlighted by other new tweaks, which make the CT6 a real luxury office on wheels. We are looking here at the rear-seat infotainment system with HDMI and USB ports, with Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV Stick or Apple TV access, adding as well built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi and much more.

It is also the case of this particular Cadillac Escalade seen here in the video below, which has received a massive upgrade from Hennessey tuner, well-known for its impressive customizations when it comes to Cadillac products.
