4K 2018 Cadillac CT6 - Can it Compete with the S-Class and 7 Series? 

one of the nicest Cadillac's i've ever seen. Absolutely stunning. I'd take this over a 7series anyday

Cadillac don't need to compete with anyone they have an unique exterior look and interior

This car looks far better in person than you would think considering it’s quite nice looking on video too.

All the Merc and BMW styling is started to get old for me. I like the fresh styling from Caddy.

I love it. I am enjoying my Black CT6 Platinum : D. Just bought it last year. Glad to know there is someone else actually like it too.

Beautiful. I had em all, from German to Japanese. My 2014 CTS Vsport was hands down the best value.

Thank you for upgrading to a 4K camera! Videos look even better now.

Fantastic review. This guy is real good. Love my XTS VSport Platinum.

This car is a beast. Luv it. Great review.

Excellent review!! Am a Cadillac man myself and I think your review was on par. Keep it up!

One of the best review of the CT6

My favorite car of the 21st Century so far! Very sharp looking. Once I find one cheap enough I’ll get one! I’m 18 and I think a lot of people my age like new Cadillacs.

I plan on purchasing one of these in the near future awsome car great review thanks

I have the STS and I still love it today. Still running and looking good but ready for something new. Seriously thinking about this model.

Beautiful car, great review!

great to hear from a GM fan and self-declared ‘Cadillac lover’, never driven one but always had some affinity for the brand, as well

Beautiful car

Beautiful Cadillac.

Picking mine up tomorrow!

Just thinking next year it's getting a whole new transmission, new design, and that great new twin turbo 4.2 L V8

Looking forwards to the new CT6 V sport version myself!

Official new favorite car! If only I could have one 😩😩😩😩

S-Class is above and beyond basically any other car in it's segment, but for everything else in the class, I think the CT6 is the best of the rest. Its interior is much more modernized than the Germans. Look at the angles and the use of different materials. compared to the Audis and BMW's, it has more angularity and depth (A8 interior is close but looks way too straight-edged)

You are absolutely right this CT6 is by far the best Cadillac I've owned, & when I get up on a 550 Benz or a bmw, or even a Lexus 460 them boys get to shaking ❤ this Cadillac is no joke ❤ & by the way nice video

Damn, i just bought a 2015 ats premium performance 3.6 black raven with black out package Cadillac certified and was super excited about the technology and performance until i watched this vid!!! Lol. After watching this review i feel that i bought a vintage ride!!! Lol. This car is badass! Gotta save some serious pennies now!!!

Always saw Cadillacs as Presidential rides. Definitely a car made for congressmen and presidents. Mercedes/BMW is for businessmen or retired people.

I sure hope I hit the Lottery soon so I can get myself one of these beauties. Woo Hoo!!!!

Love my 2018 premium luxury ct6 I always do a double or triple take when I get out nothing like a caddy for me

34 speaker system? Damn.

That is close in size to the E Class and 5 Series! Of which is a nice deal! More beautiful car with great ride and handling. Now if I was in the market for a big luxury car, I would not hesitate to buy a CT6! As it is I am seriously looking at an ATS.

I have that cadilac and Love it

Ok not so much of the Art & Science theme on the outside design but I do give the interior kudos for executing a stylish fairly simple layout & ergonomics! Appreciate the fact that the nav screen isn't that dorky tacked on look everyone seems to be incorporating these days,wish it had the hidden storage screen option in this model! Gear selector is stately & definitely Cadillac,glad they didn't copy BMW's joystick design yuk! Cadillac just needs more tweaking with their consistency with their overall design theme to fully reintroduce themselves to the world as the "New" Standard Of The World!!

CT6 has way better massage in seats then BMW as well as M.B.

Yes it definitely can. I truly believe this thing is more comfortable. I had one for a full week.

I used to buy fords but after buying a used 2014 Cadillac CTS luxury 2.0 turbo with 34,000 miles on it for under 20,000 I know it’s not the V but love the way it looks drives and the leather interior with the wood trim is class Love the protector lights that turn as you turn the led lights class The Boise system blows me away It’s 5 years old and just did the first oil change it has no rust underneath where my 2013 Ford Escape had plenty of rust on bolts and such

I love my 09 CTS but this is absolutely unreal

Thanks for such a detailed review. The only big differences this gen ct6 has different from the 2019+ ct6 besides the obvious exterior styling would be the transmission and the center console. New ct6 gets the 10 sp where this one has the 8 spnand and trackpad vs wheel joggle controling the cue. Most everything else is carried over, panaray speakers dual rear monitors sunroof sun shades power rear seats wIth massage rearview mirror 3.0tt 4 wheel steering super cruise all are same technology from this gen of ct6. Steering wheel looks the same too... I might be one of the few that like the older styling more than the new. To me this looks more aggressive than the sleeker newer 2019+ models. Time to find a used one equipped like this one hopefully with relatively low milage.

This is the height of Cadillac excellence - Go Caddy

Cadillac does seem to be back. One would certainly have to include Cadillac when considering a top of the line luxury car. I don't think Lincoln has anything that come even close to the CT6. It is world class in my op.

I'm just here to read the Mercedes S Class and BMW 7 series snob comments.

The most beautiful Cadillac. But that interior doesn’t seem to have the sense of occasion as the S class, no car in this segment matches the s class in terms of the interior. This is still very beautiful, Great review.

wait till the V-sport version comes out

What are the dimensions of that box you tested? Cadillac doesn’t publish trunk dimensions and this is quite critical for many buyers. It would be great to know the width, length and height of the truck including the wider rear area and narrower area behind the rear seats. Thanks

Does the screen in the seat adjust? They seem to be at a weird angle

Is it quieter and more comfortable than the Lexus ES300h?

Great car. Great review.

Don't people buy cars according to how much the vehicle appeals to them and suits their needs, over how it compares to others?? I do.

My Second Car at age 17 was a 1973 Fleetwood Brougham with a super Chromed grill add on with the Godesses hair flowing. I thought I was KING of the roads back in 1976. I bought it used from dads my Uncle with almost 65K on it. They drove from NE to Florida each winter and back in the late spring. The car was a perfection and I couldn’t believe it was mine for only $1700. But back in 1979 I was paying $70 a week in gas at $1 a gallon! Hell, I only spend $8 a week now with a new Impala at $3.65 a gallon. Everywhere I drove that old Caddy which wasn’t so old back then I got the looks and the people would wonder how I could afford such a car. I kept that car sparkling but not so much in the maintainance Dept. Back when you only put money in when something broke. I traded it in 1980 for a brand New Car and got $2900 trade allowance towards my new Cougar XR-7. That stickered for just under $10K. Great times but terrible era for cars early 80’s - mid 90’s. Only the Big Boats were decent. and the Trans Am and Iroc Z. Everything else was experiments.

Cool tech. Should've ran with the ATS program.

Now THIS is a cadillac! A V8 would've topped it off but still pushes lots of power! Beautiful car

What kind of price are the asking for this CT6???

I guess GM's board finally got the memo that GM has to develop better engineered cars on par with BMW and Mercedes, its not quite at their level yet, but model by model its slowly gaining on them.

You can find these used for really great prices.

It helps that you won't see a lot of these on the road. Hopefully i won't see any with vinyl roofs

Since when did GM bring back 4 wheel steering? I remember it being in their SUV’s like the suburban but i didn’t know it came back. They need to make this an option in the big SUV’s again because it really only failed because the price was too high and once it dropped the dealers didn’t market the option and lost interest so it was dropped. By far one of the coolest most useful features I’ve ever seen on a car let alone a full size SUV. I hope it comes back some day soon since it’s on other GM cars.

My Next ride ;-) Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Name of the background song?

So I see that most people compare these to the 7 series and S class, but how about the LS500?

Its definitely more of a head Turner than the s class

3:25 ‘it’s a touch screen, so you can touch whatever you want here’ 😂😂 duh 🙄

With the CT6 going out after 2019, what year is best to buy? Being on a budget keeping in mind.

Niiiice

What’s with the chunky snow tires?!?!

I like the black on black, looks so much better on luxury cars as they did in the 80's & on such as the Lincoln Town Car & Cadillac Brougham & Fleetwood. Lincoln Continental have more wood & maybe nicer wood in the Continental with the black interior for an example but this is still a nice looking luxury car Cadillac has.

Well you guys! I DRIVE A 09 750LI WOULDN'T TRADE FOR TO CADDIES.. .THE CADDY IS VERY NICE.

Do those rear seat screens hinge vertical? It seems like they are at an awkward viewing angle

well your gonna have to do a new review now that the new refreshed 2019 ct6 v sport came out

In Europe would be more unique to see it on the road then a Ferrari. But considering our gas prices are 10 times higher then yours Cadillac would needed some 3 liter biturbo diesel engine for our market.All our german cars Merc, BMW, Audi are borring to see, they are everywhere, Cadillac would be so refreshing to see on our roads.

You should try and play some music next time so we get the speakers . That's my recommendation

Were those winter tires?? What brand were they?

Price wise, it competes with 5-series and E-Class with starting price of ~$65K.

The CT6 sure looks a lot cooler than the S class and 7 Series!

Aye 1000th Like right here🎊

Damn, you could have floored it a little to see if it fly's.

Damn son. When they ask if you can fit a body in the trunk, they don't need the coffin too!!!

I find your positive review intriguing. Having owned one for a year, my experience with my Cadillac CT6 AWD Luxury is that it is a poorly designed, cheaply made car that has needed extensive repairs, a replacement transmission, build-quality issues and a very unpleasant and expensive experience. Brand loyalist here, but Cadillac blew it with the CT6. More problems than I can list here. Glad for you that you loved your test drive so much.

I wish that I have money to buy it in one day I will !

Manual sunshade? ughh And the pop up rear screen is facing down? why?? But the super cruise, I love it 😍

My kid had an 2014 ATS, never mind the infotainment screen cracking inside(changed twice), when time to change a headlight, the dealer wanted to charge $648.00 for a single headlight. They had to take out bumper to change a light bulb. labor charge was around $345.00. talk about how many guys it takes to change a light bulb. Form there we drove to Honda dealer traded ATS and got her a new 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T. We never look back since. not a single problem. Our family try very hard to use American products but, over 600 for a light bulb change??????

Trunk fits 3 bodies comfortably

Nice car and reasonably priced... Always have owned and been a Cadillac fan but would like to see this car offered with a V8 around 500 hp.... Then you would really have something to compare to the AMG, M5, F Type R, etc...

Yes it can.

This is a summer car I never understood why people drive nice cars in the winter

I miss the old wooden steering wheel and shift knobs

is this review or marketing?

I have had five Lexus cars and was looking to buy the 2018 model. I was very disappointed in the technology and the design of the front was so bad my wife did not want to even consider it. We looked at numerous vehicles and finally decided the Cadillac CT6 was the one we wanted. Why? Technology, Hands free, all the latest safety tech, night vision, room inside the cabin and trunk, driving tech such as the back wheels actually turning and more. The trim is very nice and competes with the $110,000 line of automobiles. I like my CT6 and probably will trade my remaining Lexus for another Cadillac if they continue with this type of quality and design.

SUPER BUT WILL WE GET THE SUPER DE 31% IF MAD OUTSIDE THE US THIS CAR MIGHT GO TO 75K TO 125K

Good video but you did not answer the question on the title; Can it compete with the S class or 7 series (Long wheel base versions in USA) ? The answer is no! As a serious Cadillac fan, I hope they do in near future but for now, the CT6 is not yet mature to run against S class. Cadillac should really stop playing the middle game here and by that I mean having CT6 placed between E and S class'. CT6 has the edge over E class but falls short compared to S class.

何言ってるか全然わからなかったけど格好いいのは伝わった

I am questioning the single angle of the rear screens. Can it be tilted to suit the the different height of passenger? If not, that's a big fail.

The problem lies in that it is too big for a modern executive luxury car. Any rich buyer who drives a black CT6 will get confused by people as a Chauffeur driving his boss around. It happened to me in Beverly Hills when we rented the previous body style Lexus LS 460.

I’ve taken one out before, it is nice but it’s definitely not a competitor to my S-class or similar cars but then again it’s much cheaper. It’s a very good looking car though.

Alot of Nissan Versa and Prius owners on here knock it.

They should have had gesture recognition. Fuck that track pad

Forget the 2018 model and get the 2019 V model with the optional brand new design DOHC V8 engine. It's 4.2 liters with twin turbos and 500 HP and torque of 553 pounds feet. It is the first GM design of a V8 with DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder. Want even more power in the CT6? Get the V Sport version with a 550 HP 4.2 V8 that has about 640 plus lbs feet of torque. Both the 500 and 550 horse engines use a ten speed automatic trans. This will be a Mercedes beater and it's built in America, not by refugees who work at the Mercedes factory in Germany. MAGA.

Blue chip cadillac are the best looking car on the road in 2019

I thought the Cadillac CTS was the largest

👍👍👍👍👍

Ca it compete with the S Class? The fact that you asked this question means you haven't seen the latest S Class. I actually prefer the styling of the Cadillac but the interiors get pissed on from a high height by Mercedes.

I want the ct6 with 4.2TT v8!! Platinum 500hp or the 550hp V! Either or I would be perfectly happy with. I’d even take the 3.0TT but the 2.0t and 3.6 are motors that shouldn’t have ever been an option for that car. Unless the 3.6 was a hybrid with 2 100hp electric motors.
