The Cadillac CT6 is one of 128 Cadillac models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2016. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Cadillac CT6 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Chevrolet Chevrolet Bolt, the Ford Ford Escort, the Tesla Tesla Model 3 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Cadillac CT6 reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / gasoline: / 2.0 L GM Ecotec engine#LSY / LSY/GM Ecotec engine#LTG / LTG Turbocharger / turbo Straight-four engine / I4 / 3.0 L GM High Feature engine#LGW / LGW twin; kerb weight is recorded at 3666 -; drive goes through 8-speed GM 8L45 transmission / Hydra-Matic 8L45 automatic / 8-speed GM 8L90 transmission / Hydra-Matic 8L90 automatic / 10-speed Ford-GM 10-speed automatic transmission / Hydra-Mat; the layout is Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive / Front-engine, four-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Cadillac story

Within Cadillac's own catalogue the Cadillac CT6 sits alongside the Cadillac 353, the Cadillac ATS, the Cadillac ATS-L, the Cadillac ATS-V. It was succeeded by the Cadillac Celestiq (US). Assembly is recorded at United States: Detroit, Michigan (Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly) / China: Jinqiao, Shanghai (SAIC-GM).

On the record

For the years the United States federal record covers, EPA-rated economy comes in at 25 mpg combined, which works out near $2,450 a year in fuel at current prices.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Cadillac CT6 costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
