3.6 V6 VVT (304 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Provides adequate power for most situations with 304 Hp, but it's noticeably less potent than the later 322 Hp version. Acceleration is sufficient but not exhilarating.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is less impressive at 12.4 l/100 km combined, making it the least efficient of the V6 options despite lower power output. This reflects an older engine tune.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Distinctive, bold styling that stands out
- • Powerful engine options, especially the CTS-V's supercharged V8
- • Comfortable and well-appointed interior for its class
- • Engaging driving dynamics, particularly in RWD configurations
- • Good value on the used market compared to European rivals
Cons:
- • Rear visibility is limited due to the coupe's design
- • Rear seat space is cramped for adults
- • Fuel economy can be high, especially with the V8 engines
- • Infotainment system can feel dated compared to newer rivals
- • Some interior materials, while good, don't quite match top-tier German luxury
