2010 Cadillac CTS
Starting MSRP $35,165 – $50,565
Redesigned for the 2008 model year, The Cadillac CTS was redesigned in 2008 and they kept the good features and improved what needed to be improved.
Changes this year include a new CTS Sport Wagon, as well as a new 3.0-liter V-6 base engine. It replaces last year's port-injected 3.6-liter V-6; a direct-injection 3.6-liter V-6 is still optional. Cadillac also builds the high-performance CTS-V. A 2011 Sport Coupe is being added to the line-up in the summer of 2010.
The CTS has been redesigned with the wheels being set 2 inches farther apart, which together with the lowered front bumper gave the car a ground-hugging, sturdy look. Higher trim levels have fog lights and xenon headlights.Changes this year include a new CTS Sport Wagon, as well as a new 3.0-liter V-6 base engine.

2011 CTS Coupe and CTS-V Coupe - Coming Summer 2010!
The CTS Coupe comes equipped with a standard 3.6L 304-hp V6 engine. The CTS-V Coupe comes with 556-hp supercharged V8.
CTS-V
While the CTS is priced to rub elbows with compact sport sedans like the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac says its CTS-V competes with those cars' respective big brothers, the BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG. Maybe that's because the CTS-V makes 556 hp and 551 pounds-feet of torque.
Under the hood, GM's 6.2-liter V-8 gets an intercooled Eaton supercharger, and all power goes to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. With the manual, a dual-mass flywheel and dual-disc clutch aim to enhance the left pedal's smoothness, but we hope the stick shift itself has improved over the regular CTS' clunky setup. As in the regular CTS, the automatic has paddle shifters on the steering wheel, and we're impressed that Cadillac is offering both setups.
The CTS-V adopts the STS' Magnetic Ride Control, which reads the road and varies suspension settings to match driving conditions. An optional Performance Traction Management system aims to optimize traction with an eye toward maximizing acceleration — as opposed to conventional traction control, which mostly tries to optimize traction. GM's electronic stability system comes standard and includes a competitive mode that dials back its intrusiveness, allowing you to perform stunts you probably shouldn't try outside a racetrack.
Styling changes from the freshly minted CTS include a larger grille and the requisite lower body cladding. The cabin features deeply bolstered Recaro seats with grippier suede-like inserts, as well as dark obsidian trim and a microfiber-lined steering wheel.

CTS Sport Wagon
New for 2010 is a wagon version of the CTS, intended to compete with the likes of the BMW 328i and Audi A4 wagons. The CTS sedan's taillights stretch clear to the wagon's roof, with similar piped-in lighting effects. Cadillac says the roof rails conform to the roofline rather than protruding above it. Inside, the CTS wagon offers 25 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats. Folding down the rear seats brings cargo room up to 53.4 cubic feet.
The CTS wagon uses the same powertrains as its sedan sibling — a 270-hp V-6 or 304-hp V-6 — but both engines pair with a six-speed automatic transmission. The CTS sedan offers a stick shift. All-wheel drive is optional.

2010 Cadillac Escalade
MSRP $62,495 - $84,125
The full-size Cadillac Escalade SUV has appealed to celebrities and affluent 20-somethings since 2001, when a flashier version debuted. Its competitors include the Lincoln Navigator, Lexus LX 570, Infiniti QX56 and other luxury SUVs. In the spirit of excess, the Escalade boasts available 22-inch wheels and a 6.2-liter V-8 with more than 400 horsepower. It can be configured to seat up to eight people and is available with rear- or all-wheel drive.
The Cadillac Escalade's 6.2-liter V-8 now features cylinder deactivation, a technology designed to save gas by automatically shutting off four cylinders when driving conditions allow. The clock from prior Platinum trims is now standard across the lineup, and there are new side-impact airbags for the front seats. There's a USB port for connecting a portable music player to the audio system.
Three-tier headlights and a large crisscrossed grille define the Escalade's styling, while chrome applications throughout emphasize the vehicle's luxury status.

Cadillac Escalade ESV
MSRP $65,100 - $86,680
Cadillac's Escalade ESV offers more room for those who find the Escalade, a full-size SUV, just a bit too small. Its wheelbase is 14 inches longer than the full-size Escalade, and its total length exceeds the standard model by more than 20 inches. Third-row occupants benefit from increased legroom, and cargo capacity behind them nearly triples.
As with the regular-wheelbase Escalade, the Escalade ESV gets a full complement of luxury equipment, including leather seats, plenty of exterior chrome and optional 22-inch wheels. It is available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.The Cadillac Escalade ESV's 6.2-liter V-8 now features cylinder deactivation, a technology designed to save gas by automatically shutting off four cylinders when driving conditions allow. The clock from prior Platinum trims is now standard across the lineup, and there are new side-impact airbags for the front seats. There's a USB port for connecting a portable music player to the audio system.
Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, the Escalade ESV stretches 20.4 inches longer than the regular Escalade. Fourteen of those inches go to extending the wheelbase, which allows for larger rear doors unconstrained by wheel wells. Height increases by 1.2 inches, and width remains about the same. Despite the bigger dimensions, curb weight increases by just 217 pounds for rear-wheel-drive models.
- Jeweled headlights
- Cadillac's now-familiar grille up front
- Rectangular taillights in back
- Eighteen-inch wheels standard; 22-inch wheels optional
- Power liftgate standard
The ESV's extended dimensions don't yield significant gains for first- or second-row occupants, but third-row passengers gain nearly 10 inches of legroom. Cargo volume behind the third row increases from 16.9 cubic feet to 45.8 cubic feet. With the third-row seat removed and the second row folded forward, maximum cargo volume is 137.4 cubic feet—about 28 cubic feet more than the regular Escalade.
- Optional DVD entertainment system includes a second 8-inch screen for third-row passengers
- Standard leather interior, automatic climate control, power-operated front seats
- Standard seating capacity is seven; available second-row bench expands capacity to eight
The Escalade ESV uses the same engine as the regular Escalade: a 6.2-liter V-8 with 403 horsepower and 417 pounds-feet of torque. It works with a six-speed automatic transmission.
- 7,600 (RWD) or 7,800 pounds (AWD) of towing capacity when properly equipped
Safety equipment includes:
- Standard four-wheel-disc antilock brakes
- Standard electronic stability system with rollover mitigation technology
- Standard side curtain airbags in all three rows of seats
- Front-seat side-impact airbags new for 2010

Cadillac Escalade EXT
MSRP $61,420 - $69,000
The high-end Cadillac Escalade EXT sport utility truck competes with fully loaded pickups like the Toyota Tundra Limited and Ford F-150 Platinum.
The Escalade EXT's engine now features cylinder deactivation, a technology designed to save gas by automatically shutting off four cylinders when driving conditions allow. There's a USB port for connecting an MP3 player to the audio system.
The EXT's cargo bed has 45.5 cubic feet of volume (about the same as a short-box crew cab pickup truck). The cab mid-gate flips inward along with the second-row seats, extending the pickup box to 101 cubic feet of cargo volume. The EXT maintains the triangular C-pillar extensions of GM's first-generation crossover pickups, and the design is highlighted by its rectangular headlights and angular face.

Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
MSRP $73,425 - $87,725
Cadillac's Escalade Hybrid uses GM's 2-Mode Hybrid system to reduce fuel consumption yet retain the traditional capabilities of a full-size SUV. It's available in rear- or four-wheel-drive form, and its hybrid system works with a V-8 gasoline engine. Primary competitors include the related Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid and GMC Yukon Hybrid. Trim levels include the well-equipped base Escalade Hybrid and loaded Platinum model.
For 2010, a new rear axle ratio is said to help gas mileage slightly. The hybrid's gas engine can now run on E85 ethanol, and the cabin gets a few changes among the center controls.
The overall shape of the Escalade Hybrid differs little from its conventional counterpart, but Cadillac has added hybrid badges to the front fenders, C-pillars and liftgate. With all that extra trim work, there won't be any question in the minds of passers-by as to what type of vehicle you're driving.

- Standard 22-inch chrome wheels
- Standard power liftgate
- Standard xenon headlights
- Optional power-retractable running boards
- Standard rear parking sensors and backup camera
The cabin is largely the same as a regular Escalade's, but there are a few hybrid-specific features. The Escalade Hybrid's instrument cluster gains an additional gauge that monitors the efficiency of the vehicle, and the instrument panel gets some hybrid graphics, too. The standard navigation system screen can also display a graphical representation of the hybrid system and its operation. For 2010, the audio system gains a standard USB/iPod port.
- Three rows of seats accommodate up to eight
- Standard leather interior
- Standard power front seats
- Standard heated and cooled front seats
- Standard heated second-row seats
- Standard tri-zone climate control
- Standard moonroof
- Optional heated and cooled cupholders
- Last year's Platinum-edition analog clock now standard
A lower rear axle ratio is said to improve fuel economy, though EPA gas mileage figures remain the same; the two-wheel-drive Escalade Hybrid is rated at 20/21 mpg city/highway.
The 2-Mode Hybrid system allows the Escalade Hybrid to accelerate from a stop and cruise at slow speeds on electric power alone. When more power is needed, the gas engine will kick on to provide supplementary power. Like most hybrids, the Escalade Hybrid captures energy during braking and stores it in the hybrid battery pack for later use.

2010 Cadillac SRX
MSRP $33,830 - $51,860
Under the skin, the 2010 SRX is about as different as a redesigned model can be from its predecessor. It's still a midsize five-seat crossover, but it's on a new front-wheel-drive platform, replacing the rear-drive version used from 2004 to 2009. All-wheel drive is still optional, but the new foundation promises mileage improvements and only a minor loss of passenger volume despite a decrease in the vehicle's length.
The SRX at once looks taller, if not higher off the ground, than the previous generation, yet it bears a resemblance to the Cadillac CTS sport wagon. The roofline slopes downward as the beltline rises, resulting in side windows that narrow to a squint by the time they end at the D-pillars. Cadillac has long used vertical taillights as an homage to the old tail-finned designs of the 1950s, but the SRX's taillight lenses rise in a peak to form little three-dimensional tailfins.
Similar to the second-generation CTS, the new SRX has been rounded off a bit, though it still has the signature edges and facets and a prominent grille. It likewise adds chrome vents behind the front wheels that incorporate side marker lights. The standard wheels are 18 inches in diameter. Twenty-inchers are optional.
The interior is as big a jump from the previous generation as was the current CTS' interior. The SRX's design now emulates the sedan's, complete with an optional navigation touch-screen that rises from the dashboard. The materials are much improved, and the gauge lighting is top-notch.
The backseat accommodates three passengers and had 60/40-split, folding backrests that extend the cargo area forward. Both a power liftgate and an adjustable cargo-floor anchor system are available.
Convenience and entertainment technology includes standard Bluetooth connectivity and optional hard-disk-drive music storage, plus a dual-screen backseat video system.
The SRX offers two engines: The base V-6 is a 260-horsepower 3.0-liter, and the optional upgrade is a smaller but turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 good for 300 hp. Both are direct-injection designs, a relatively new development in gasoline engines that improves power, efficiency or both. The SRX now includes an "eco mode" that, when activated, helps maximize mileage. The base engine runs on regular gas, while the turbo version prefers premium.
Both engines drive the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional, as is an additional rear electronic limited-slip differential, which transfers power between the left and right rear wheels for even better traction.
The SRX has front airbags, side-impact airbags for the front seats and curtain airbags that cover all the side windows. Antilock brakes and an electronic stability system are standard, as is OnStar with a year's free subscription. Adaptive headlights, which swivel in the direction of a turn, are also offered.

2010 Cadillac STS
MSRP $46,845 - $70,335
Cadillac's midsize sport sedan, the STS, features a powerful base engine, an optional V-8 and a variety of high-tech safety options.
The 469-horsepower STS-V has been discontinued.
The STS' bumper is prominent, and its grille is dominant. Like it or not, you have to admit that the elements are in proportion, from the plunging grille to the stacked headlights and fog lights. A Platinum Edition Package, optional with either engine, adds a new grille finish and 18-inch chrome wheels.
