Model History

August 2008

The 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon made its world premiere at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, in Monterey, California.

4,859mm long x 1,942mm wide x 1,502mm high

From the rear three quarters it appears to bring back traditional Cadillac fins. Right-hand drive 2010 CTS Sport Wagon expected to arrive in UK Cadillac showrooms in autumn 2009. Rides on same wheelbase as the CTS sport saloon and is 7 mm shorter overall, yet still offers a generous luggage capacity of 720 litres behind the rear seats.

Design highlights include:

Signature V-shaped tailgate motif
Large, vertical taillamps with light-pipe technology
Power-opening tailgate (via key fob or in-vehicle button)
High-mounted rear brake light integrated in subtle roof spoiler
Integrated roof load management system with cross bars for a seamless appearance
Interior luggage management system with flexible in-floor space
New 19-inch alloy wheels
Optional panoramic rear sunroof

For the UK, the CTS Sport Wagon will include features such as a fully integrated infotainment system with 40-gigabyte internal hard drive and pop-up navigation screen, and a hand-cut-and-sewn leather interior.

UK engine and transmission options are yet to be finalised. US models will be available with 3.6-litre V6 engines, and an efficient 2.9-litre turbo-diesel engine is being developed for CTS models primarily for European and Asian markets. It is a compact, dual overhead cam, V6 engine from GM’s family of diesel engines that delivers optimal fuel economy as well as reduced emissions and noise. The engine is rated at 250PS.
