Cadillac has unveiled the 2015 CTS, with an updated front end and some new gadgetry. The most obvious change is the introduction of Caddy's new wreathless crest, while the revised front end also receives projector-beam halogen headlamps and optional high-density discharge headlights. The Vsport receives a black chrome grille; other models have theirs coated in Galvano chrome, as well as illuminating door handles and new body colors of Crystal White Tricoat and Dark Adriatic Blue Metallic.

New tech comes in the form of wireless smartphone charging, a perpendicular parking feature, OnStar with 4G LTE & WiFi hotspot, lane keep assist system and fresh interior color/trim combos. The engine lineup ranges from a 272-hp 2.0-liter turbo-four to a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 rated at 420 hp in the CTS Vsport, which is enough to propel the range-topping model from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds en route to a top speed of 172 mph. To handle all that power, the Vsport also boasts an electronic limited-slip differential, sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch rims, Brembo brakes and a quicker steering ratio. All models come with an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission.
