Cadillac CTS estate

15th August 2008

Cadillac’s CTS has been given the boot! The American company has used California’s Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance motor show to unveil the Sports Wagon version of its BMW 5-Series rival, and it keeps the bold looks of the striking saloon.

As the name suggests, it’s about style and sportiness as well as load-lugging ability and it will offer 720 litres of storage capacity behind the rear seats.

The UK engine range is expected to include the 208bhp 2.8-litre V6 and 307bhp 3.6-litre V6 from the saloon. Plus a 247bhp 2.9-litre diesel, also a V6, is being developed for European and Asian markets.

Like the saloon, the Sport Wagon will be right-hand drive, and boast high levels of equipment – with prices likely to start at around £29,000 in 2.8-litre V6 form when it arrives here in autumn 2009.
