Cadillac CTS the Eleventh of 15 Hottest New Cars for 2014 Forbes Version – This is the Eleventh of 15 Hottest New Cars for 2014 Forbes Version. A third-generation CTS sedan debuts for 2014 that’s longer, lower and lighter in weight than before, with more athletic-looking exterior styling that’s highlighted by an striking new front end treatment that announces its arrival with authority. Three separate engines are available, including a base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a just adequate 272 horsepower and a 3.6-liter V6 with a livelier 321-horsepower.
Meanwhile, a new Vsport version features Caddy’s first ever twin-turbo V6 that delivers an eager 420 horses, along with other performance-minded steering, braking and suspension upgrades. A more spacious drive-focused interior offers no less than eight available “environments” that come trimmed with assorted genuine wood, aluminum or carbon fiber trim. All-wheel-drive is optional for added traction on wet or snowy roads, along with Cadillac’s adjustable Magnetic Ride Control suspension that enhances the car’s cornering abilities while soaking up potholes and pavement imperfections.
A long list of features includes the CUE (for Cadillac User Experience) touchscreen-based operating system, a self-parking feature and a motorized cupholder lid in the center console. Cadillac’s Safety Alert Seat giving feedback to the driver from a full complement of crash avoidance systems via a vibrating seat cushion. Unfortunately, starting at $45,100 it’s priced more than $6,000 higher than the 2013 model.
