It has a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and a 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive can be optional.
Exterior & Interior
The CTS is easily recognized by its edgy styling and athletic looks because of its hard edges and angled stance that gives its crisp look of a freshly-ironed suit. All models are equipped with standard power doors, mirrors and locks. Other features are tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power diver seat air filtration system, automatic headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control and an AM/FM/CD/XM stereo system with auxiliary input. The several aspects of design can be noticed like the parallel lines that help break up tall body sides, the glitzy twin center mounted tailpipes, the remarkably seamless-looking joint between the body-side stamping and the roof, and the center spine that stretches all the way back over the car’s huge ramp.
The interior of the CTS is attractive which can suit very well to the taste of those who are after the Teutonic design approach of less is more. Its design is purposeful and very comfortable. Upholstery is of high quality. It is considered as the most spacious cars available at this price point. The mood is intensified due to a lower mounting point for the seats which drops occupants roughly an inch lower into the dashboard and console architecture. The high rear end doesn’t shadow the rearward vision.
