2014 Cadillac CTS sedan priced at $46,025

The base 2014 Cadillac CTS sedan will cost $46,025 when it goes on sale this fall. That’s a $6,035 increase from the current model’s $39,990 price after shipping charges.

For 2014, the CTS sedan is seeing a major overhaul, with a longer, leaner body and a new optional twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine rated at 420 hp. The twin-turbo V6 can be had with the new Vsport trim, which starts at $59,995 after shipping charges.

The CTS is also available with a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter 321-hp V6 mated to a new eight-speed automatic in rear-wheel-drive models or six-speed automatic with all-wheel drive. The base engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 rated at 272 hp and paired with a six-speed automatic.

The redesigned CTS’ new look includes a shield-shaped grille, lower hood and headlamps that stretch back into the fender.

The CTS will now be outfitted with Cadillac’s CUE infotainment system. It will also be the first Cadillac with advanced park assist, which takes control of the steering wheel when parallel parking. Also notable is a new 20-way adjustable driver’s seat with haptic feedback for lane-departure warning, also found on the ATS.

Cadillac’s midsize sedan competes with the BMW 5-series and Mercedes-Benz E-class, both of which start around the $50,000 price point.
