Cadillac CTS Engines and Transmissions
The Cadillac CTS engine lineup focused on smooth V6 power. A 2.6-liter unit offered a balance of efficiency and response, while a larger 2.8-liter provided stronger acceleration. Both could be paired with a manual transmission for driver involvement or an automatic for relaxed everyday progress, always sending power to the rear wheels.
