Cadillac is extending its range of luxury sedans with the launch of the 2016 Cadillac Touring 6 sedan.

The automaker is hoping that the combination of lightweight construction, driving dynamics and added technology lead to a win in the competitive luxury sedan segment.

The CT6 comes in three engine choices: CT6 2.0L Turbo, CT6 3.6L V6 with AWD and CT6 3.0L Twin Turbo V6, all paired with eight-speed automatic transmissions, In addition, the CT6 will be available with plug-in hybrid electric technology.

The new CT6 will owe much of its dynamic handling to active-on-demand all-wheel drive, active rear steering and Magnetic Ride Control on the available Active Chassis System.

Cadillac is highlighting the technical advances of the CT6 as well, including the Rear Camera Mirror, Enhanced Night Vision technology and the pioneering 34-speaker Bose® Panaray® audio system.

The CT6 will be produced at the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant starting in January 2016 with the first vehicles arriving at dealerships in March. In the US market, the 2016 Cadillac CT6 sedan is priced from $53,495, with the highest level CT6 Platinum model starting at $83,465.
