For 2011, the Cadillac CTS-V has a new fender vent design, and a rear-vision camera is now standard. The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V does have a few minor negatives. The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V is a high-performance sport sedan that's offered in a single well-equipped trim level.
Standard features include 19-inch alloy wheels, high-performance tires, Brembo brakes, adaptive xenon headlights, an adaptive suspension with adjustable dampers, keyless ignition/entry (including remote start on automatic-transmission models) and rear park assist.
Inside the cabin, the standard features list continues with leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats with driver-seat memory, a suede-trimmed power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Powertrains and Performance
The EPA puts the CTS-V's estimated fuel economy at 14 mpg city/19 mpg highway and 16 mpg combined with the manual transmission, and 12/18/14 mpg with the automatic.
Safety
The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability control and traction control, front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags. GM's OnStar emergency communications system is also standard. The CTS also received a five-star government rating for both front- and rear-seat passenger protection in side-impact crashes.
First, the bad news: The 2011 CTS-V's interior isn't much different from that of the regular CTS model. The faux suede seat inserts and steering wheel/shift knob trim are an especially nice touch.
The split-folding rear seat found on other CTS models isn't available here, but a trunk pass-through opening is standard.
Driving Impressions
The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V's standard Magnetic Ride Control suspension offers a good balance between ride quality and handling via driver-selectable Tour or Sport modes.
