2017 Cadillac CTS gets minor facelift, updated tech

Looking instantly recognizable, the updated model has an all-new grille which closely echoes the one used on the CT6. Additional styling changes are limited but the car has been equipped with a new rear bumper, vertical exhaust tips, and a revised rear valence. Rounding out the changes are a Carbon Black sport package, restyled wheels, and an updated colour palette that now includes Bronze Dune Metallic and Silver Moonlight Metallic.

Interior enhancements are fairly limited but the car has an upgraded CUE infotainment system which has access to the Cadillac Collection that allows users to install apps in a similar fashion to using Apple iTunes or the Google Play Store. The 2017 CTS also features streamlined trim packages and a newly optional Rear Camera Mirror which switches between a digital screen and a traditional mirror at the press of a button.

Engine options carryover and include a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Buyers looking for something more powerful can order a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6 that produces 335 hp and 285 lb-ft of torque. If that's not powerful enough, the CTS VSport has a biturbo 3.6-litre V6 engine with 420 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque.
