The US-built CTS goes on sale here in the UK on 1 September with a choice of 2.8-litre 211ps V6 petrol (GBP26,995/US$53,300) and new 311ps 3.6-litre direct injection V6 petrol engines (£32,995/$65,200)
Both models have a six-speed automatic transmission with a floor selector, the larger engine also has paddle shift manual-select controls. A 2.9-litre V6 diesel arrives next year.
The rear-wheel drive sport saloon models come with traction control and a limited slip differential, and feature a single premium ‘sport luxury’ trim level with claimed class-leading standard equipment.
The options list is consequently limited to metallic or premium metallic exterior paint finish, electric sunroof and a special wood interior trim.
