The 2019 facelift repositions the CT6 towards buyers who want a more expressive full-size saloon without giving up the dynamic feel of the Omega platform. Against a Mercedes S-Class, the Cadillac reads as rarer, lower in feel and more distinctive in character. The front end sharpens up, the interior takes a step forward and the better-equipped cars lean harder on technology and driver assistance.
Power comes mainly from the 3.6 V6 LGX with AWD in this phase, while early North American cars offered the 4.2 Blackwing V8 LTA and some markets received a 2.0T LSY. More significant in practice is the new 10-speed automatic, Super Cruise on select configurations, rear-wheel steering and Magnetic Ride Control. When everything works properly, this CT6 feels impressively precise for its size.
