Following the successful launch of its redesigned CTS sedan, Cadillac introduced a wagon variant (along with a coupe version) of the luxury car in 2009. Created as an alternative to larger utility vehicles, the CTS Sport Wagon promises the same stylish good looks and competent handling as its sedan counterpart, but with the added utility and cargo space of a wagon.
Because of the wagon's sedan roots, it actually rides on the same 113.4-inch wheelbase as the sedan. However, despite having a larger rear cargo area, the wagon actually measures in 0.3 inches shorter than the CTS sedan.
The Sport Wagon is highlighted by Cadillac's signature edgy styling, including a V-shaped rear deck and liftgate. Cadillac's integrated roof load management system allows for a little extra exterior cargo space, and also pays tribute to the brand's iconic rear tailfins of the '50s and '60s. New optional 19 inch wheels round out the CTS Sport Wagon's exterior appearance.
Inside, the Sport Wagon's interior mirrors that of the CTS sedan, save for the extra cargo room aft of the rear seats. With the rear seats up, the wagon provides 25 cubic feet of cargo space, with that number expanding to 121.9 cubic feet when the rear seats folded away.
Because the wagon is so closely related to the sedan, drivetrain offerings mirror those offered in the sedan. The standard engine is a 3.0-liter variable-valve-timing V6 with 270 horsepower and 223 lb-ft of torque, while those looking for a bit more power can choose a 3.6-liter V6 that offers 318 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come exclusively with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 3.0-liter mill returns 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, while the bigger unit is rated at 18/26.
Rear-wheel-drive is standard, while all-wheel-drive can be had as a traction-enhancing option for northern climates.
Standard features on the CTS wagon include a seven-speaker Bose sound system, a power liftgate, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity and dual-zone automatic climate control. Highlights from the options list include leather upholstery, genuine Sapele wood trim, a navigation system, an ultraview panaromic sunroof, an ultrasonic rear parking assist system and a sport suspension.
Key Rivals
Those looking for an alternative to the CTS Sport Wagon are limited to three options: the BMW 3-Series Wagon, the Audi A4 Avant and the Acura TSX Sport Wagon.
