Cadillac CTS Gas Mileage

December 18th, 2007 | awd, cadillac

The Cadillac CTS sets the standard for entry-level mid-size American luxury and fuel efficiency, as it produces best of class gas mileage ratings for a mid-size all wheel drive (AWD) luxury sedan. Forget about that SUV … if you want to go in the snow with the most comfort, the CTS will get you to Grandma’s place faster then that one-horse open sleigh. While many CTS owners are likely to stick with the basic rear wheel drive (RWD) system, the all wheel drive does not impact gas mileage ratings.

2008 marks the introduction of AWD in the CTS. Standard 2008 Cadillac CTS power train choices include two V-6 engines: a 3.6 liter producing 263 horsepower (HP) / 253 foot pounds of torque and a Direct Injection 3.6 liter that delivers 304 HP / 273 foot pounds of torque. The CTS-V is fitted with a 6.0 liter V-8 producing 400 HP / 395 foot pounds of torque. A manual six-speed transmission is standard. A six-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control is optional.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.
