Cadillac CT6 Review. The Big Cadillac is back!

[@kernoleary1394]

beautiful interior. i love how simple it is !!! people need to bring back the simple interiors with high quality materials. "luxury" is way too often confused with amount of tech and gadgets stuffed into a cabin. This is a really nice, sleek design .

[@kernoleary1394]

+Kern O'Leary i love how it has no volume knob

[@FasterThanSoup]

Totally agree. Clean, simple and functional is very attractive and often overlooked

[@therealbajan522]

+Kern O'Leary I know right. you are correct.And I am a young , tech person.

[@kernoleary1394]

+TheRealBajan yeah me too :) 24

[@justrandomthings319]

It's weird seeing a car that I help produce every day. I'm part of the quality control team for the CT6.

[@jesdadotcom]

Nice work!

[@adesorcuppy4225]

Great Job to all of you at Cadillac. This new model car looks again Cadillacy.

[@BroccoliBeefed]

Where is the electric version and hybrid version? A hydrogen fuel cell version would be good too. Everyone else talked about it, while Toyota actually did it.

[@XxAlexanderProxx]

I work with this cars everyday.

[@googlewebsite5953]

chancy319 Wow you may have taken part in the one I own

[@cramer071]

amaaazing car, inside out, i'm speechless, i can't believe this is coming from cadillac

[@jeffpuha8187]

It amazes me how many folks who review large luxury sedans here on KZbin say nothing about the ride quality of the car. All they talk about is handling and vehicle dynamics. C'mon guys, this is a premium LUXURY sedan, not a sports car.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

True but luxury sedans are rather boring and passionless to drive

[@Xsoul1000]

This is the best looking car of the year.

[@colderbeer]

The perfect car....wow. Outstanding style inside and out and incredibly ENGINEERED. The 4 wheel steering and low curb weight numbers make this big sedan such a home run. And a 34 speaker sound system......I'm drooling....

[@frankburns8871]

Hopefully all of this haptic technology, knobless controls, and touch-screen only "buttons" will go the way of the digital dashes that were "cutting edge" in the 80s

[@chrissorreda4982]

Jesus christ, Cadillac is doing great.

[@therealboofighter]

That's a cool relationship you have with Him, to talk to Him about cars.

[@contractki11er]

+boofighter Jesus is actually a car guy, he drives a Honda but he never talks about it. "For I did not speak of my own Accord" -John 12.49a

[@iamlmmays]

+contractki11er lol

[@casualk127]

+Chris Sorreda they have great cars but sadly their sales are still really bad. I hope they can turn that sales part around because the cars are there already and getting better.

[@jesdadotcom]

Their North American sales are stagnant but globally (except EU) theyre doing quite well. When Cadillac was last #1 in America (1998? 1999?) they sold just under 200,000 cars worldwide. In 2015 they sold over 270,000. The difference, however, is that the brand was previously stronger. In 1995 a loaded Seville STS, adjusted for inflation, sold for over $70k. Today the ATS and CTS start at a much lower price point. They are, however, *far* superior vehicles. It's a mixed bag.

[@shaynebayford5079]

I don't think anyone has mention that this car weight is only 3700lbs to start. The lightest car in its class by far.

[@Lion-dr7uv]

Gorgeous in black!!

[@brianl5399]

Always love your reviews, thanks Zach!!

[@BadDriversofPlanoTexas0]

As an owner of a 2005 CTS, Cadillac has improved their interior quality a lot. They're really stepping up their game

[@MiceliCreations]

Just a great job by Cadillac and all the people involved in the project. Great group of people.

[@gmman010983]

Good honest review, Cadillac has done a good job with this car, DTS owners will be happy finally that we have another big Cadillac.

[@CDTbossy]

At first I was unsure of the styling, but after seeing many videos of it I absolutely love it especially in black! Cadillac did a great job and I love the fact that we have another RWD American luxury sedan again, other than the 300. I would really like to see Cadillac come out with a larger convertible and change back to modell names again instead of the generic lettering. Eldorado, Deville, Seville an fleetwood were great and memorable names (except perhaps fleetwood). CT5, 6, 7 etc is so plain-jane and doesn't even indicate engine size like BMW's 520, 535 and so on.

[@IcelanderUSer]

The car at 8:23. That’s real American beauty that isn’t trying to copy someone else. If you understand what makes a car American and respect that long history you’ll love this car. put a v8 in it and will it be perfect. What makes a car American and what is there to respect? Size, design, value. The mustang and Camaro represent all three. Find a euro counterpart and you’ll spend double or triple. Europe doesn’t make affordable and fun transportation that isn’t first an eco hatch. That’s a huge difference. People criticize American cars but don’t understand what they even are. Point out a 30k v8 two door sports car from anywhere outside North America. That’s why the mustang is the number one selling car in its segment. In Germany.

[@coureurdebois]

my god that is so sexy in black, its a serious value that can compete with the 5 series in every way, but i dont think its at S class yet, but its the closest non German car to be that close to the S class.

[@lookingagain858]

+Ryan Keller What are you smoking? CADILLAC = PIECE OF CRAP

[@charlemagen5356]

+Looking Again you clearly have not driven anything newer than 2010 . *SMH*

[@tuckmcgee3343]

Sure is good looking... And I'm not even a big fan of Cadillacs themselves!

[@manifesto2000]

+Brendan Pettinato Almost as nice as a 1994 Concours - one of the most graceful of all Cadillacs...

[@therealbajan522]

+justin bouche Its much better looking than I think the 5 series and the S-class.Kills them in looks.I think the more simplistic interior luxury presentation may be more appealing than the very complex way in which S-class's interior presents it's technology.In this car A lot of tech is there but it is presented in a simpler more palatable way.Cadillac really thought this car out.

[@stevenrivers2541]

nice to see cad is going this way economy and big luxuries with 4 wheel steering...nice!

[@theoperation7504]

People ripping this car up without even driving it let alone driving anything other than the pathetic plastic box they drive everyday is a little ridiculous. Cadillac is quite simply on a roll and making some amazing cars which best their competitors in almost every way. In actual fact I should have stated that the GM group is on a roll producing some fantastic cars. Get out from your computer desk, drive some new cars, get an understanding of how they are built and you will come to enjoy what General Motors is up to and this is coming from a devout Audi fan.

[@O.G.LIL-MAN]

+TheOperation no, they are not on a roll outside that of an Escalade...they have been making great cars, but nobody is buying them...that is not a "roll" unless youre a fanboi

[@BroccoliBeefed]

TheOperation , because they've built crap for so long. and all of a sudden want people to pay $70k for their stuff. WTF? I could have a Tesla for that.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

TheOperation It's no use; people are too uptight. They always have a stick up their ass so they turn their nose up at everything.

[@fairjudgement4409]

You don’t need to put shit in your mouth to know it’s shit...

[@vegasbab.y3740]

I like Audi’s. But I’m more into American cars. But I don’t like ford’s. GM is my family. GM runs in my family. A lot of people have Chevy’s. And if they don’t have a Chevy it’s either a ford, or Chrysler products or a Honda.

[@mitafoaj]

Great review!

[@geethsan1567]

That's kind of like a value high-tier luxury car. Really love it a lot!

[@mikealanzo]

Damn!!! That was some badass review!!! Good job dude! and what a car! Nice job Cadillac!

[@dontelindsey5846]

So Caddy has this Lincoln has the Conti now I'm just hoping for Chrysler to come out with an Imperial or atleast a New Yorker.

[@phantomstratocaster]

excellent video ,the very best of the many you tube videos on this car that i've watched info that know one else has supplied

[@adyyy22]

Well done, love the design.

[@zylo999]

That Paranay sound system is exceptional btw, had a look at the car at the Canadian International Auto Show.

[@deanbean2106]

Nice to see a car review in Ramona, CA

[@4posh]

Great comprehensive review of the very impressive CT6! Superb!~

[@christopherlaflam6383]

Someday when my 2014 XTS VSport is used up, I think the CT6 Blackwing (preowned unfortunately) is my next car. Great review.

[@Fermion911]

6:25 - what? I definitely prefer RWD over AWD since I live in the area with almost no snow, therefore I don't need AWD. RWD is lighter, has less drivetrain loss and usually smaller turning circle radius (no homokinetic joints on front axle). My current car is RWD Jaguar and my next car will be RWD too.

[@randomdude1191]

I love the styling in the front, but I feel like that rear could of been better designed.

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

I`ve been quite impressed with recent products from Cadillac, but they`d better bring a LOT to the table for $94,000 !

[@tuantruong8980]

You always do a good job .... Love this videos

[@MrSupersaiyangoku]

For the love of all that is pure and GOLD THE CAR IS DEFINTELY FULL SIZE. IT MAY NOT BE QUITE AS LONG AS A 7 SERIES. BUT THERES NO MISTAKING ITS A FULL SIZE CAR. ITS 8 INCES LONGER THAN A CLEARLY MIDSIZE CTS. SO STOP IT. ITS NOT STRADDLING TWO CLASSES. AND ITS NOT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR A MIDSIZE. THE THING IS AS LONG AS A CHARGER OR 300.

[@M3RRIH3W13]

Nice review, Zach. I think this CT6 is a great example of subtle elegance. The XTS-V is a good example of subtle elegance, too. I'm not sure if I believe that this is the game changing flagship that the consumer has been waiting for.

[@turalhumbatzadeh6506]

Perfect luxury! I think this car will be leader in F segment! Yes definitely it's design is better than S class 7 series A8 and etc...

[@Rj-yr1br]

I love this car 😍

[@samurai1833]

This car is really beautiful

[@MrLuvOldies]

Nice! I think the black is better looking.Mmmmmmmm

[@jerey2374]

Nice but why are they no bigger and upstanding Backlights anymore ?

[@brucec43]

More about driving dynamics, noise, ride, seat comfort, etc, pls.

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

At 9:50 check out the over the shoulder view -Driver looks a little cramped in there.

[@atila5402]

❤I want one in black with black interior and red brakes.🌴

[@АллаШевелева-б5в]

Nice car, good work ,! Really please more

[@mrlbattle1]

excellent review you've sold me

[@alexwing4174]

Would you be able to make a video where you show us the interior ambient lighting? Most people would like to be able to compare the interior ambient lighting of cadillac's new flagship with the one of corresponding BMW and MB. However, most videos about CT do not sufficiently focus on the quality of the interior ambient lighting.

[@WonboShim]

I thought the CT6 was longer than the short wheelbase 7-series and S-class, but shorter than their respective long wheelbase versions. Unless in Canada, the BMW and MB only come in LWB models?

[@drjd2real]

It's a good looking car, but they should have made the interior bigger or the same as the s-class. It seems like they only make the rear seating comfortable for people 5'11 and shorter. The xjl, a8l, equus, and k900 all have low roof lines cutting down on headroom. I'm 6'4 and my hair touches the roof in the back of the s550. I don't understand what's so hard about making a real big car? They always seem to cut corners. I have to always sit in the front seat even in long wheelbase cars, but I always feel like the car is useless if I can't fit in the back. The Armada and qx80 are the most comfortable when it comes to 2nd row legroom and headroom.

[@Stiggy37]

+Wonbo Shim Cause it is. It's 7 cm longer than SWB S-class and almost 30 cm than 5-series and they claim that's not a full size sedan. Yeah, right...

[@BroccoliBeefed]

drjd2real It's because most people aren't as tall as you and it would effect the looks of the car badly. I'm 6'1" and cannot fit in small cars comfortably. I finally said fuck it and stopped buying Toyota Corollas just to save money. Who gives a rat's derriere?. I want and deserve comfort. You need custom seating and a car this size or larger.

[@TROllingNINJA2031]

Rarely see this car on the road and just saw one with a bunch of radar sweepers and cameras on top. New autonomous systems?

[@normt5463]

Cadillac Cruise...

[@manniesreactionchannel3808]

Magnificant interior...

[@craigwentling9881]

currently own a ATS4 and SRX, this maybe my next one, or CTS V, very nice

[@bimosalexandres]

@0:32 so basically this caddy is class-equivalent to bmw 6 series & mercedes-benz cls class in term of size?

[@bimosalexandres]

+bimosalexandres anyway, i hope they made it with the RHD version as well :(

[@PeytonB]

Thank god they got rid of the capacitive buttons on the interior.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

Peyton I for one liked the slick look of the capacitive touch buttons.

[@PeytonB]

I too liked the look, but then I played around with one at a dealership and it was a pain to use. Not very responsive, fingerprints everywhere, and it would be hard to know which button you're pressing without looking.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

***** Maybe they can go to regular analog buttons but maintain the glassy look.

[@davidvanderson941]

Aiming between the 5 and 7 series is a brilliant move. As a 6'4" 250lb guy my 550i can be a little tight. Especially considering how narrow the from door is. In fact it's impossible to rest my forearm on the top of the door without my elbow hitting the B pillar. I've driven the new 7 series. Besides being gimmicky, it's larger than I would like or need.

[@Bellinghamster]

Not bad. But how about rolling out the CT9 and do a side by side test with this CT6..... yea when it is available of course.

[@daxterreid]

404 HP is amazing... Id go for that 3.0TT

[@christopherlaflam6383]

The 410 hp in my XTS VSport is just unbelievable

[@niptodstan]

It's a pity we won't get this in the uk. Beautiful looks.

[@BroccoliBeefed]

+niptodstan If you have the money, you can get it in the UK. It just isn't produced there yet. And please. You know how many cars Europe has that we never see in the USA? Lots!

[@jaredj9170]

I thought Cadillac was going to push into the European market with this car. In fact, I'm almost certain they're producing one with right-hand drive.

[@briggs9187]

What a nice looking car... not so keen on the turbo engine though ... I liked my CTS that was able to run cheap gas or high end if you wanted... the turbo engines can only run 91-93 octane.

[@jesdadotcom]

+briggs9187 Running 87 octane is mostly a concern for poor people.

[@briggs9187]

JesdaG I am talking about the ability to run cheap gas if you have to, when there is no other option, My WRX will sputter and almost shut down if even by accident 87 octane hits the tank, My Cadillac EXT only sees 91 octane but could run 87 if needed, and my 4Runner easily runs every day on 87 octane...I am just talking about options.

[@josepharcher9620]

Luv that car!!!

[@ruzzelladrian907]

This car looks really promising I hope the reliability is on par with Lexus, Audi and Volvo

[@davidl.gissentanna7570]

On Order 😎

[@teomongi6566]

Semplicemente bella ed elegante!

[@mburke1211]

Looks great. The obstacle is that the resale value will not compare to the German competitors. It's a difficult value proposition..

[@sean70729]

Good thing I'm still young enough to care about style performance and driving dynamics more than resale value.

[@nickbanhidy7262]

Nice review man !. Since Cadillac are interested in cracking the chinese market, have I got an idea for them. How bout right hand drive versions. Plenty of people in Australia would consider one, since GM packed up stumps and pulled out of Australia. CT 6 nice set of wheels though!

[@adanlopez1011]

Seriously, reviewers will nit pick American cars and emphasize the flaws more than the benefits from the car. Whenever car guys review stuff they're always so biased towards bmw and mercedes. They'll claim 3-series and c-class to be the best cars in the world while they look at a Cadillac, and say it's a bmw wannabe or fake luxury. The ct6 isn't the end of the road for Cadillac yet. There's going to be a bigger, more powerful and better Cadillac yet to come. The ct6 is the best luxury car to come out of America ever.

[@stl4u]

This Cadillac isn't the true big boy!!.. Bring back the true V8 big boy style and then Cadillac will be the shit again!!..

[@stevenmartinez5531]

I agree! I was noticing the passenger knees high in the dashboard. I guess gone are the days of roomy cabins. I've had a 71, 85 and 99 Cadillac....I need and love my space!

[@adnanhafeez3745]

The best car love u ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jurajzamek7782]

Super autíčko ...

[@Countcho]

looks very nice

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

Love Cadillac - but unfortunately -like all GMs the reliability is a sticking point. When building and selling a Cadillac- the car should be as solid as a Rock. Reputation is everything - electronics, trans, drivetrain, interior, exterior elements should be perfect and last forever. Drive by a Cadillac dealership- and look at the service line -tons of them being brought in for issues. American car manufacturers don't get it - but the consumer does.

[@djmay5588]

is this replacing the xts or being sold side by side?

Interesting, The new 2017 MBZ E class is bigger. I hope more cars are going in that direction vs having to get the full size.

[@robbielex]

When you open the glove box does it come down slowly or just slam open?

[@Lion-dr7uv]

robbielex The glove box is damped and electronically opened, my grandma bought one

[@robbielex]

Leonardo yes, mine was a factory defect and I had it fixed under warranty.

[@22bryant]

cool head lights. .lets see who is going to copy them.the japanese or the germans?

[@UYT7715Flower]

Car looks good, but when loaded, it is about same price is about the BB or Lexus with just handful of coin changes. Then, I would ask myself, why take the chance?

[@michaelmyers7705]

Bad ass caddy

[@TheKillerace900]

what's the difference with this one and the cts?

[@zonadeopinion9372]

Es un auto espectacular. El deseo de muchos.

[@quickjack9140]

I like the CT6...........its like if Rolls Royce made a BMW 5 series.

[@SingleDadInspiration]

This car is super fucking dope. I want it really bad.

[@tom11zz884]

Awesome Caddy, but the days of the super large Caddy are gone.

[@dorubarbu]

My favourite (Platinum version), by far! :)

[@gsxellence]

So it took GM how long to play catch up to the Infiniti Q45-M45/56

[@gsxellence]

I do have to agree with you the factory ride cam be firm in the "S" variants but on a positive note depending on which model you get there is a difference in offsets. I do recommend with a pre-owned model to upgrade the suspension to either Full Coil-Overs or Air ride... :)

[@BCJDM]

great car, but I am more excited for the new Continental.

[@khunopie9159]

I think the word you are looking for to categorize the size of the new caddy is "shmedium"

[@CKPHH]

Those color combo of the screen gotta be redesigned soon, real soon. Those icon look like theyre coming from Blackberry. Now thing is simple

[@mikemarino3635]

for that cost I would want personally a longer wider roomier car. Bigger engine. Maybe an 8 cylinder and get rid of the turbo.

[@saedebrahimi6813]

All my lifetime she was the most beautiful...

[@hlshcd]

Well, I still prefer Audi's pop up screen and LED lighting

[@DoctorChange106]

Cadillac costs much less than German competitors and is likely to be more reliable

[@cooljohn1977]

does cadillac still have air ride

[@mountainhobo]

The front, particularly the lights are still too ghetto. The rear is perfect, though. Understated and dignified, as befits a luxury car. Change the front to match that rear now, and you have a good package.

[@billysparks5493]

lmfao i got a lincoln commercial before this

[@satanismiscancer7589]

If anything in this world would be considered sexy. It would be anything Cadillac can produce, Sedan wise. 😂

[@Lion-dr7uv]

Mari Camino Agreed

[@lovettekalisch7558]

The volume nob? I have a 2015 XTS, you don't push the volume people you slide your finger across it. Nobody seems to get that...

[@tibchy144]

why the helicopter ride if the car is the one that has to impress? and what happened to the iconic names like seville, why CT6 name?

[@asokoy3508]

how much it cost to buy a car like this in canada?

[@gregparrott]

I like the smooth lines. They're nicer than the CTS's sharp angles. Those angles remind me of the ill conceived Pontiac Aztek SUV - winner of the 'Most Ugly' award. But, as the largest of the Cadillacs, I'm surprised that a V-8 is not offered. I'd much prefer Chevy's 400HP naturally aspirated V-8 than a 400HP twin turbo 6.

[@EndofDays213]

Competes with Audi A6?

[@nikemac84]

Zack, you forgot about the available paddle shifters, haha......

[@gbriank1]

I enjoyed watching the video...but, at these prices, Cadillac better be throwing in a lot of extra goodies like: 4 years/50,000 miles service, standard 4/50 warranty, 6 year/100,000 powertrain warranty and luxury amenities at the dealer. Cadillac still doesn't have brand cache nor does it have a good service record. Without thee aforementioned items, I see this car selling for $10,000 off sticker.
