Cadillac has announced a new Touring Package for its 2012 CTS Sedan, Coupe and Wagon models. The Touring Package allows buyers of the standard CTS to enjoy some of the goodies typically reserved for the V-Series models.

For CTS models equipped with Cadillac’s 3.0L V6, the Touring Package includes18-inch pearl nickel finish wheels, dual exhaust, dark finish grille, HID headlamps and fog lamps, high-mounted brake light from the V-Series, Recaro seats, suede-covered steering wheel and shifter, midnight Sapele wood trim and metal pedals.

The 3.6L V6 Touring Package includes all the standard features of the 3.0L, but swaps out the 18-inch hoops for 19-inch polished wheels with either summer tire performance package or all season tire package.

“One of the best aspects of high-performance machines like the V-Series is that they bring new elements into the brand that enrich the rest of the breed,” said Cadillac Vice President of Marketing Don Butler. “The new Touring Packages give CTS buyers access to some desirable V-Series elements, in a more-approachable format.”

The Touring Package is available for order now, with the 3.0L V6 package carrying a retail price of $2,065. The 3.6L Touring Package will require an additional $2,810.
