V 6.2 V8 (564 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The ultimate performance variant, offering the same incredible 564 Hp supercharged V8. When paired with a manual transmission (implied by the lack of 'Automatic' in the name), it provides an even more engaging and visceral driving experience.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is still very high at 14.7 l/100 km combined, but notably better than the automatic version, likely due to the manual transmission's efficiency and driver control.
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
