V 6.2 V8 (564 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
This supercharged V8 transforms the CTS Coupe into a true performance monster, delivering immense power (564 Hp) and blistering acceleration. The automatic transmission handles the power well, offering quick shifts.
Fuel Economy
As expected for a supercharged V8, fuel economy is poor at 16.8 l/100 km combined. This engine is not for the fuel-conscious, but for those prioritizing raw power.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Distinctive, bold styling that stands out
- • Powerful engine options, especially the CTS-V's supercharged V8
- • Comfortable and well-appointed interior for its class
- • Engaging driving dynamics, particularly in RWD configurations
- • Good value on the used market compared to European rivals
Cons:
- • Rear visibility is limited due to the coupe's design
- • Rear seat space is cramped for adults
- • Fuel economy can be high, especially with the V8 engines
- • Infotainment system can feel dated compared to newer rivals
- • Some interior materials, while good, don't quite match top-tier German luxury
