- I review the refreshed 2019 Cadillac CT6 in its new Sport trim with the 3.0TT V6 engine and AWD. This car also has Super Cruise, which elevates the CT6 to the next level of luxury; hands-free driving on the highway, a feature no other vehicle in 2019 can offer! What do you think of the CT6 and Super Cruise? Thanks to Cadillac for providing this vehicle to review!

I’ve been watching some of your videos lately and it’s so refreshing to listen to an automotive journalist that doesn’t just rip GM to shreds. You’re very fair and objective. Keep up the good work Matt!
Thank you Cadillac for not killing such a beautiful design
Looks pretty DEAD to me.
Jeremy Clarkson well get your eyes checked, old man.
The factory that built it is still on strike so there is still a chance they're going to kill it
pontiacGXPfan they keep fxcking around GM will fire their asses and fill their positions within a few months lol
@@mybro727 this didn't age well the discontinue it 😔
I'm pleased the CT6 is not discontinued! I want one.
I just wish GM had made the rear seats 60/40 fold down. As an Uber driver, I need a more flexible interior. These people coming off of a flight drag a rack of luggage with them.
yes it is discontinued.
This Cadillac CT6 is so gorgeous in this red metallic color and the styling is so beautiful and eligant and yet aggressive much more exciting looking than most of the year German competitors it compete against I would pick this over the German competitiors fantastic job Cadillac this will aged many years to come
The Germans inside is nicer but the outer caddy kill them
I really appreciate that you always point out the weight of the vehicle you're reviewing, and compare it to it's competition. 300 to 500 pound differences within a class are huge.
Thanks, yeah it makes a huge difference!
I'm hoping that when the CT6 comes out it doesn't add an additional 300 lbs. A CT6 with weighing around 4100 lbs would be astounding.
I have a buddy with a CT6 and we both love it! Cadillac did a great job with it! Thanks Matt!
Same here! While my XTS Vsport is more powerful than his CT6 3.6l, it is a nice ride
My CT6 3.0 TT gets 30 mpg between MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin and Rochester, MN. Supercruise is amazing. 4 wheel steering and magnetic ride control results in amazing ride and handling. Engine switches between 6 cylinders to 4 cylinders during low demand.
Can you disable the cylinder deactivation? Does it automatically deactivate when put in sports mode like other GM performance cars?
So happy for you, Robert. I am getting mine soon, with God's will. I want CT6 3.0TT Platinum
Are you using regular or premium?
Nobody:
Cadillac: There's 34 speakers in our CT6.
That's a fact best used by your weird uncle during an awkward family reunion.
''Hey Harold how are you?''
''Doing good, my CT6 has 34 speakers !''
''Okay? That's nice.''
''34 SPEAKER T-H-I-R-T-Y F-O-U-R, you heard me THIIIIIRTHY FOOUUUURRRRR how many speakers does your car have huh? Six ??? EIGHT ??''
''...''
LMAO
Zorg: I Yoos made in China. Bezos Me.
@@OAK_MTN sounds like something Doug Demuro would say lol
That smile while driving the CT6 tells the Cadillac story. I got to get myself one...

Bill
Thank you for your support Bill! I really appreciate it!
This review was very detailed and professional. You’ve improved so much over the years Matt.
Thanks Eric, I've been trying!
I’ve got a CT6V on the way - a stroke of luck... I’ve enjoyed my Platinum ‘17, can’t wait for the Blackwing.
I hear u!!!!!
I love this car. Great review, Matt!
Very glad to hear the CT6 was not dropped like people were saying.
It's definitely the athlete of the segment!
Cadillac says the CT6 is one of the lightest cars in its segment
So would you rather have leather around your cup holders ? Sometimes there’s a reason engineers use easier to clean better wearing materials in areas prone to spills and scuffing
Thts a good point I didn't think of tht good point !!
Not leather, just a higher quality better finished less rock like material befitting a FLAGSHIP CADILLAC 👍🏼
Actually, the reviewer misspoke. The material around the cupholders is leather. (leather-wrapped hard material of some sort) But, it's not hard plastic as he stated in his review. So, that's not a justifiable critique.
lol every reviewer has said that cadillac has the best self driving tech in the game. Its funny how the brand that no one counting on doing autonomous stuff actually has the best one, boo for you tesla, mercedes and especially bmw
Sic Semper Beats Cadillac can’t call their car, can’t self park the car by default, can’t drive in normal traffic etc etc. also consider, Tesla has had their technologies since 2016.
FSAPO did that mean they implemented in such a scale as Tesla did? Tesla fat extended the EV technology and the infrastructure for EVs as well. The only reason other manufacturers are suddenly jumping on this EV bandwagon is because all the ground work is done. Tesla’s Battery technologies were made public knowledge, therefore easy for other manufacturers to pick it up and call it their own. GM was the first in recent times, but they weren’t revolutionary.
@@huythai1222 Tesla cannot offer 100% self driving due to government regulations, but Cadillac can. Teslas cannot self drive in normal traffic, or any kind of traffic.
Vernon Price explain to me then, if it can’t drive in normal traffic, why can it use summon or auto parking in normal traffic? Either way, Cadillac’s autonomous tech is pretty new, Tesla’s has been out since 2016. Once the models receive the next level of autonomy it’ll be just like 2016 again.
@@huythai1222 "explain to me then, if it can’t drive in normal traffic, why can it use summon or auto parking in normal traffic?'
Legally, they can't on public roads, and parking is not considered self driving. Cadillacs have had self parking for a LONG time. Again, this is due to government regulations that require driver monitoring in order to approve self driving, which is why Cadillac's system is allowed and Tesla's isn't.
"Either way, Cadillac’s autonomous tech is pretty new, Tesla’s has been out since 2016."
But Tesla's is not LEGAL. To make it legal, Tesla will have to implement the same kind of driver monitoring that Cadillac's Supercruise uses. Can't really make it any clearer than that.
Great review, Matt. Love this refreshed model. So clean!
Matt should have a t-shirt that says “This is of course...a t-shirt”. Great vid Matt! Always enjoy your reviews
I'd buy that lol
I've been waiting for this!!!! The CT6 sport is soo badass OMFG!!!!
It’s a gorgeous looking car.
I have owned and driven many Mercedes BMWs and alike. They are mostly unreliable vehicles very expensive but you get the panache or the bragging rights or whatever you want to call it. The Cadillac ct6 in almost this exact trim is what I've owned for the past 2 years and it is by far better than any foreign brand I have ever owned in my life! Just an exquisite super reliable amazing vehicle
This is what I call a real Cadillac !
Yeah... a piece of junk.
Looks like its from 2012 inside
NAW. THEY NEVER BE AS GOOD AS A 1990-92 CADILLAC BROUGHAM. 1976-79 CADILLAC SEVILLE. REAL CADILLACS.
Cadillac Seville those boxy designs never caught my attention. If we talking about real Cadillac ogs peep 1920’s-1940’s.
Are you old enough to remember when Cadillacs basically built living room couches on wheels?
pontiacGXPfan no I’m not old enough but I’ve learned what type of vehicles they were in history. Luxury comfortable land yachts lol
I had one as a rental car and very impressed by the driving dynamics and feel of the car. I’ll strongly consider one in 2-3 years when they’re in the mid $30Ks.
Yeah the price will drop and it will be an amazing value in 3 years. Since you're saving tons of money anyway just get an extended warranty and you get the same coverage as new.
I’m here in 2024 and they’re there!! Lmao
I agree, the shifter was Much Cooler before. I love the CUE system no complaints here. The actual spare tire is wonderful to see.
Some if not all CT6 models have a built in dash cam. Great review!!
Can’t wait to hear the V 😈
Looks real good. Good refresh
I like your feedback on supercruise.
Beautiful cars are a dime a dozen, but the lines of this car speak to the soul. This is an instant classic, Cadillac should really take it to every corner of the globe.
This is gorgeous. I need one now!!
Great review Matt!
Knobs and buttons are ALWAYS better than having a screen covered in finger prints.
Matt......you do a great job and have a wonderful demeanor ....you are my "Go To" automotive journalist. Much success to you!!
This car is flippin gorgeous.
hey matt, tell cadillac that they should/could make a simple two door version and call it the el dorado
That would be awesome. There’s rumors they’re working on a new coupe...
El dorado was front wheel drive though. But I love the idea.
Eric Meyer ew 😂 we’ll get it right this time then
Prior to 1967 Eldorados were rear wheel drive. In 1957 and 1958 they were four door cars with reverse hinged doors. However the fwd Eldorados from 1968-1978 was where the Eldorado became an icon.
Gorgeous Car! That’s a real Cadillac!
The MOST beautiful Cadillac ever made!
I have know idea about the quality or performance of this car, but I think it is beautiful!
hope they make a CT5-V. The ATS-V was an amazing car and is now one of the best used market value buys
That car is winning me over!
Excellent review, Matt. I have a new 2019 CT6 and really like the refreshed design. I had to get rid of a very troublesome 2017 CT6 and have found that the new 10 speed transmission on the 2019 is much better than the clunky 8 speed transmission in the 2016-18 series. Many of those have been bought back or being auctioned as lemons with transmission issues. Fortunately, Cadillac has redeemed itself with the 2019. Overall, it's a beautiful sedan.
I agree about the interior. In my opinion, it's a generic GM interior with Cadillac logos, with all its stiff surfaces, plastic and fake looking wood. Certainly not as luxurious as its more expensive competitors, but that's what makes it affordable. It's all that I can expect these days from GM at this price point.
Bill _ I agree with you mostly. But I must say GM can definitely do more with the interiors even at the more affordable price point then their German rivals. I will say their exteriors have been class leading for years now. From the looks of the XT4, XT6, and CT5 Cadillac is moving in the right direction as far as interiors go. The CT5’s interior is absolutely gorgeous yet simplistic, a step up from 2019. I’m pretty excited about my potential next car, new Cadillac CT5.😬
I have an Cadillac ATS AWD 3.6 and I LOVE IT. I like your review on this Larger Cadillac, NICE ❤ Cadillac Style
Wait until Matt reviews the V-Sport 4.2 twin turbo. I hope soon... love this car. Even more with huge horsepower.
Great review, Matt! It's fun to see how far technology has come. I always enjoy Cadillacs.
Yaaaayy Cadillac is still making a big car. I thought it was over
Great review- appreciate the detail with the console, options and touch screen... one of the better reviews in this regard. Solid coverage. Can see the enjoyment you are having driving the vehicle... Super Cruise rocks! I think you hit all the points (positive, negative) nicely.
Amazing what a mid-cycle refresh’s does. From a boring looking boat to arguably one of the best looking large sedans. The CT6 is also very reasonably priced for what it is. I know that interior quality isn’t up there with the likes Lexus and Mercedes, but honestly with those looks, it’s strong athletic performance, and Super Cruise, the CT-6 is the large premium sedan class best kept secret.
Really like the exterior
Great Review as usual. CT6 Sport 3 will be my next car
I’ve been binging these reviews and they’re all so well done!
Thanks for watching so many of the videos, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you like them!
Those are you ragging on Cadillac because of this car, keep this in mind: Lincoln Continental is just a Ford Fusion in a suit and the Chrysler 300 is old and tired
pontiacGXPfan the Continental doesn’t share anything with the Fusion. False
Chrysler 300 isn’t even luxury, Chrysler themselves said that they’re not a luxury brand anymore. They’ve been the successor to Plymouth since 2015. Along with the fact that the 300 is a Taurus/Impala rival
Lol..
guy proulx except people actually liked Pontiac
guy proulx not yet, 2020 will be the last year
Great video review Matt!
So Lincoln or Caddilac? We Need a comparison video
Again, no right hand drive - we r really getting screwed here in oz - why r the germans capable of doing low scale right hand drive numbers, and why do the americans leaving those markets uncontested? It is very depressing for car enthusiasts.... btw - keep at it Matt! Always looking forward to ur new vids!
I'm sure you already know this, but I highly recommend driving on both Duff Road and Roosevelt road. They are close to the filming location, and they are absolutely incredible driving roads.
I hear a pretty long delay between when you floor it and when the turbos finally kick in.
Looks so good mannnn
Great review!
Good review. One issue: Super Cruise does not "request for you to take over every once in a while." The only thing it requires you to do is change lanes if you wish to do so. Otherwise, you can go as long as the road will let you without touching the wheel. For example, I rode with Super Cruise between downtown Dallas and Fort Worth (about 30 miles) and touched the steering wheel two times the whole trip to change lanes. Otherwise, the car handled the rest with ease. It is a true semi autonomous driving system, unlike anything else on the market. The CT6 absolutely blows competing vehicles out of the water.
In my experience, yes, Super Cruise did request for me to take over every once in a while because it either got confused by the road lines or just got overwhelmed for another mysterious reason. It is not perfect still.
The 3.6 AWD sedan is VERY nice.
Yea 5.3 0-60 with 404 hp and 400 tq deff sounds conservative even for such a heavy car that deff seems like a 4.9-5.1 second car for sure
Matt I think it's about time you invested in a really good Hoya CPL filter for your lens. (will hide your body and cut glare)
I wish there was more color in the interior. Looks a bit dull. But will still get it.
You should buy one... I love that car!
When is the V version being released? Hope you'll be one of the first to review it Matt. Dont forget to floor it when you do!
Great reivew
I think that they should make the Buick Avenir concept car as was planned for this chassis but since they’re using that name I nominate the name Wildcat.
Also since Lincoln is making a six inch stretch version of the Continental with rear hinged doors and a rear seat executive package I think that Cadillac should build a six inch stretch with an executive package and call it the CT60 Special.
CT6 only needs this v6 twinturbo and the v8 twinturbo, Cut the 2.0 liter and 3.6 liter engines options and make the pricing cheaper cause Cadillac overprice there vehicles by 10 to 12k There marketing and sales people need to get real about the pricing for all Cadillacs there way overpriced
I wouldn’t buy one new though, used they’re already in the 40s.
Review: 2019 Cadillac CT6 Sport 3.0TT AWD - Next-Level Luxury!
I test drove both the 3.0 turbo and 3.6 naturally aspirated. The turbo is the best NO turbo lag. But the turbo engine is noiser than the naturally aspirated and the shifts are not smooth as the naturally aspirated. Handling is good.
Cadillac performance and comfort are better than Lexus ES and LS, on par with Mercedes E and S-classthat I test drove.
I like it!
ACTUALLY that center cover that you complained about is carbon fiber or real wood in other trims. It is like that in the sport so that it is dressed down and easy to clean. However, can be had in other real materials.
The new Cadillacs handle and look great, too bad they are not selling that well. I'd take a lexus GS over this, but this would be a close second I guess.
That's the wave link I'm on too! I love the Lexus GS, but I'm pretty sure the CTS competes with the GS. The CT6 competes with the LS.
Gio S6 Yep
I Love Cadillac vehicles however I'm not a fan of large Vehicles I just don't find them to be practical for me. I have a Beautiful Cadillac ATS Premium Luxury 3.6L AWD Sedan which I absolutely love because of its Size. Such Agility, Quickness so Sporty with a naturally aspirated V6 it takes unleaded fuel ⛽️ it's Perfect for me.
My god this car is beautiful
Modern cars seem to all have similar styling lines. It's time the manufacturers switch it up
That's what I like about the Kia Stinger. It looks fresh and unique.
gonzozo6 Even though it has touches of Audi in the styling.
Everyone: This car is a classic beauty and a winner.
GM: Cancel it!
Par for the course...
Wow! If you start a go fund me we can all band together to buy you this car!
18:00 here is what u were looking for :)
What's cool about a Cadillac is that in about 2-3 years after new you'll be able to pick up a clean low miles example for around 1/2 the price (or less).... I have to say with the exception of the level of the interior game this is a very nice car...
I've always admired Cadillac and I think they executed this car beautifully. So what has always held me back from getting one? They sell a ton to rental car companies and in my opinion it diminishes the brand image in a major way. I live in Los Angeles and whenever I ask a Cadillac driver how they like their car they say 'Dunno, it's a rental'. That happens 90% of the time. So, I always end up in BMW, Audi or Benz. I think the only way I would give Cadillac a shot is if they offered an insane lease deal that's much less per month versus a similarly priced German competitor. Otherwise, why bother?
This car is just amazing. I wish I could afford one. 😍
Me too!!
This is on my list of possible next cars after the NSX AMG A35/45...hehehhehehee
It’s been confirmed the CT5 will get super cruise. The CT6 Platinum. offers 500 V8 and the CT6 V is 550hp.
This is a company car with driver vehicle. Perfect for sitting in the back working or shotgun. Too busy or occupied to notice little details but comfortable enough to handle shuttling between meetings in and out and home. Not so expensive that the shareholders lobby to remove management but safe enough to preserve the executive chain. But not dazzling enough for the executive to spend his own hard earned money to feel level with the Jones next door with their S Class s550. Still will be a large enough market for Caddy.
I love this Cadillac but I just saw the 2020 Genesis G80 and sadly it makes this Caddy looks cheap.. Specially in the interior. Cadillac have some of the most beautiful concept cars but sadly they don't produce them. There was a point in history when Cadillac was considered the most luxurious in the word.
I own an 09 Genny with the 4.6. How's the next gen G80? Do you have any clue on when they're going to reveal it?
@@evanganske9240 I Know they already revealed the G90 and it looks amazing. I'm assuming the G80 should be next.
Matt, is there anyway you can do a road test for a Buick Regal GS awd? Can you also talk with Cadillac and schedule to do a review on the upcoming CT4 and CT5 sedans? Uber driver who needs the info!
Great review. Cadillac is killing it. Loving the new CT5 as well
How is this not a full size sedan its longer than a Toyota Avalon and that is considered full size
Will you be doing a review on the Cadillac ct6 V ????????
Still hard to buy a Cadillac when my local dealer is a dump
Very nice looking car
Dream car !
I’m pumped for the ct8 that’ll go nuts😂
Such a beautiful design by Cadillac
Are you going to review a 4.2TT? Not the V version.....since you can't get Super Cruise on the V.
Standard of the World!
The most beautiful Cadillac ever
Well there is the 1949 Sixty Special and the 1957-1958 Eldorado four door with suicide doors.
NO IT'S NOT DUM ASS. 1976-79 CADILLAC SEVILLE IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER CADILLAC EVER. ALSO THE FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM. DUMMY.
That is the vehicle on Ray Donovan the V version.
Ini Ubaha Axe is driving one around sometimes on Showtime’s Billions
Vaderd2k yep that's true!
You are probably too young but the 1990/91 honda prelude had 4 wheel steering. The commercials for it had Jackie Mason again you probably don't know him had him explaining what happened to the wheels on the prelude you should search for the commercial
