2018 Cadillac CT6 3.0TT - Self Driving Future is [Nearly] Here

- As the automotive world prepares for roads full of self driving cars, Cadillac makes a bold leap into full autonomy by offering true hands free driving in the form of their innovated new Super Cruise feature. Available on the flagship CT6 sedan, this remarkable cruise control allows drivers to fully take their hands off the wheel on the interstate when conditions permit. Pair this cool tech with one of the best driving large luxury sedans on the market and the 2018 CT6 could be the hidden gem of the big luxury sedan segment. 2019 model year will introduce an even bolder V-Sport model with a 550HP twin-turbo V8 option.
I love this engine!!! Sofyan when the 2019 CT6 v sport comes out get it right away!!! I can’t wait to hear the sounds of the V8!!!!!!
This car is literal goals. I can't wait to buy it at a 70% discount after two years. lol
Harambo 😂😂👍
Jessica Rose yea Baby
What lol?
It's been discontinued lol
Jessica Rose Hauserman it won’t depreciate that much lmao it will be 70 off in 2030
that front end is stunning...
The only thing exciting and attractive about this car is the front end!!!
Ikr I’ve always loved the front ends on gm vehicles
Every year, they are getting closer and closer to the original concept car back when they launched their new lineup (art and science).
Only if they start implementing the interior of the concept to these cars.
Imagine if they built the ct8. I would love a long two door cadillac (modern Eldorado) with the twin turbo v6 or a v8
Yes Yes. My grandpa dreams car. Yes. The color right. Yes. I pray for this model Cadillac 👍💕
I want Cadillac to succeed so badly. But I agree with your gripes. They are so close to living up to the Cadillac name. Its driving dynamics and supercruise still make it competitive but they fall short because of the details. Interior colors, wood gloss, CUE, GM parts sharing.
Tim, totally agree! They’re still a 2nd tier luxury brand compared to who they’re competing with!
Ikr if they had Red, Light brown interior it would have been perfect
Well stated.
Jamel Moore they’re definitely not second tier, but there’s definitely “room for perfection” and I hope Cadillac continues in the direction they’re going because if so they’ll definitely reach that level of perfection and have the competition scratching their heads trying to figure out how they did it.
I sometimes feel like Cadillac can't win in the minds of many people. For $20-25k more, of course a Benz or BMW has nicer "finish." But, I feel like if Cadillac did all those finish options (which they are for 2020, check out the Platinum trim!) then I think the complaint will be "Cadillac is charging $100k? Who will buy it?" For $70-90k,the ct6 has been a stellar product. And on the plastic on the lower door panel, honestly that's the part that gets kicked, hit, and roughed up more than other parts. A soft, cushy leather would probably wear very prematurely.
Love those rims! 😍
Personally I wouldn’t want a crossover. There’s too many of them on the road and I like to stand out from the crowd. This is a beautiful car :)
Another great video production, keep the cars coming.👍🏾
LiveBreatheTech I
Cadillac CT6 and Lexus LS500 are my two top choices in the full size luxury sedan, love both of them.
DIAMLER because you dont have cash for benz
SRB NS I'd take Lexus over Mercedes and day
Test drive both!
Both absolutely sharp vehicles. but the Cadillac’s craftsmanship is horrible. I say this because my 52g ATS PERFORMANCE was deemed a lemon and was bought back after my 23 rd breakdown. On my second Lexus GSF Sport now and only goes in for Oil changes. No comparison in build quality. Cadi is better off going back to Coupe Devilles and Eldorados. At least you knew what you were getting
Al Pappalardi easy man, I'm sorry to hear about your problems, but I have a 2013 ATS 2.0T and has only had a radiator problem and the CUE needed to be replaced, both under warranty many many thousand miles back. Keep in mind, I live near Malibu where most of the miles on my car are hard, lead footed, stressful, enthusiastic miles because of the curvy canyon roads here. At the same time, my friend's Lexus 200T has recently started over heating to the point where he's looking to trade it in. I do believe in lexus build quality, but no car is perfect, and sometimes you get lemons from any brand.
34 Speakers?? I want this car even more now
Long live Cadillac
And the ct6 is discontinued
pretty amazing how well calibrated and smart the super cruise system is. this car deserves more attention. its not quite S class or 7 series quality but you get a lot of the same goodies for a cheaper price. I also think its a stunning car to look at especially in the platinum trim. The 2019 version with the new TTV8 will be a mind blowing performer. when you add the already lightweight nimble platform with 627 lb ft of torque and AWD paired to their new 10 speed transmission I expect ridiculous numbers
The CT6 is cool!!! Thanks for the review!
Great review. Since you had the car for a week it would have been cool to show off the night vision tech as well. I personally still love going on long road trips so i'd use supercruise quite often.
I love how honest your reviews are. I look forward to seeing these car reviews every day and it is the first thing I look for when I get home from work in my TH-cam inbox. Thank you Soyfan!
I love my grandmothers was plush and soft and felt really expensive and grand it was a car from 1993 Gorgeous
Great review as always.
I CANT WAIT TO TAKE A NAP ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK!!!!!!!
I'm waiting for the CT6-V. Wake me up when it comes out for production.
Ive had my eye on this car for 3 years. When I heard they stopped production, I had to go buy one. By far the nicest car I have ever owned. It is the best looking large sedan on the road in my opinion. Ive only been driving it for 2 months but dont have a single criticism other than i dont like when the car shuts off when it stops. There is a split second delay from stop to acceleration, which makes it a bit slow on the jump. That said, all the power I would ever want is in this engine. what a beauty!!!
Keep up the great work Sofyan! Cars may start driving themselves but hopefully they don't start reviewing themselves.
Exterior: 6/10
Interior: 5/10
Quality: 6/10
Practically: 5/10
Performance: 6/10
Value: 4/10
Overall: 32/60👌
Beautiful car!
Congratulations Sofyan. I've been watching your channel from very early on and with this report you've brought you're channel to an entirely new level.
Great work!
I know right!! This review was very real!
Really a great review.
I've noticed that in my Adaptive cruise as well it leaves a huge gap that ppl cut u off with
Officially my favorite reviewer! High quality videos, very informative, never misses a detail... perfect mix of entertainment and information! The only minor bump is sometimes the audio quality. Keep on doing great reviews and improving! Best car reviewer on TH-cam!
Besides the driving dynamics, I think the thing is near art-quality in design.
$87,000 lol yea no. I could see if it was $87K for the V8, but for this?? Hard Pass.👎
Can you review a jaguar xjl portfolio?
Such a beautiful car amongst so many look alike sedans these days. I wish I had the money to blow,I’d go trade in my maxima
Infiniti had the lane assist back in 08 with the ex and the FX in 09
I REALLY want Cadillac to succeed. Unfortunately, they do too much part sharing with other GM cars. GM need to recognize and either take on or cut the risk of creating the premium brand they want with Cadillac. Also, the looks tend to fall under the bland category. You want presence, not striking.
You've GOT to try the 2019 CT6. It's even more gorgeous.
And that CT6-V? EPIC
Contrary to the reviewer's comment at 4:05, Cadillac has always offered a Cinnamon interior color option on the CT6.
mlamike sadly on the Platinum Trim, the Cinnamon isn’t available.
Cinnamon is featured on the 2019 CT6 VSport photos on the Cadillac website. He Said "Cadillac doesn't offer it on their Flagship models". NOT True!
The more I watch car reviews, the more it becomes clear that no matter how good they get or even surpass the Europeans in many aspects, people -- mainly Americans -- will always nitpick and never be satisfied with Cadillac.
Somehow for Cadillac to stay true to its heritage and silence the unnecessary criticism, the best option is not to compete with BMW and Mercedes, but to truly go beyond the reach of the common folk and compete directly with Maybach, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley.
Great video and review..i love your channel!!!
Wow, great car! I'd buy that car before I'd buy an overrated and overpriced Mercedes any day!
What an amazing vehicle. Have always liked Cadillacs, but this is over the top. Cadillac is the Standard of the World again.
That drive for you feature is great! And kudos to you for turning your head away and trusting the car. All for the viewers!
What do u think of Cadillac ct5 2020 luxury?
Great review! Imo you've been the king of car reviews for a while now, keep it up my friend!
You left out a great color interior Cadillac offers. It's called cinnamon and keeps the dash black and doors black except the armrest which is cinnamon. I get a lot of compliments on this interior with my CT6 , do a little research next time you make a review video.
I have a 14 ats 2.0t performance trim it has the led door handles and I absolutely love how it looks at night. Ct6 blackwing is my dream car, but I absolutely love the ats and think Cadillac nailed every aspect of that car. But it should have never come with the 2.5 engine. Options should have only been the 2.0t and 3.6. The 2.5 202hp is a dog and brings up the cimmaron to mind.
Amazing car i hope get one
The CT6 is definitely a step forward for Cadillac, but they aren't quite on par with the competition just yet. Some interior materials and the infotainment system, in particular, are still lagging significantly behind the Germans and also Lexus. That said, the rear seat comfort and autonomous features are class bests, so they deserve big credit for that. In any case, if Cadi keeps pushing ahead they'll eventually have a very competitive total package with the CT6. Great review Sofyan!
Damn I miss the traffic. Need to move back to dc
The infotainment screen seems pretty small.
A one Cadillac sedan I want to buy one used.
Good review as always 😀
Nice car but $90,000 for a Cadillac I may as well buy a SUV
From the day I bought my 2018 CT6 Platinum 3.0TT, I KNEW I made the right choice. I started a several years ago with a new ATS, then after a couple of years, moved up to the XTS and loved both of them. So, when some nitwit (like the guy in red F150) caused an accident that totaled my XTS, I decided it was time to upgrade again. I test drove all of the comps you mention, (MB S Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8L etc etc), and I honestly felt like the CT6 was just more fun to drive, and for quite a bit less money. She's loaded, there is no option available that I don't have (keeping in mind that the V8 wasn't available at the time) but considering how well powered the 3.0TT is, a V8 just seems like overkill. You didn't even mention the camera driven rear view mirror! For me, it more than makes up for the small side view mirrors. It takes a few drives to get used to looking at a camera view, but once you get used to it, you can't do without it!
As I said, I started in an ATS, which was an absolute beast from a handling viewpoint, but amazingly, with the magnetic suspension and the rear wheel turning assist, my CT6 handles just as well but is obviously a much larger vehicle. The Super Cruise IS very cool, and even though I'm still not ready to fully trust any autonomous vehicle in heavy traffic, it is amazing on longer trips when traffic has thinned out a little. I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet, and constantly having to start/stop causes my feet to burn like crazy after awhile. So both the Super Cruise and the Adaptive Cruise are both superstars for me, and I agree with your statement about "road appeal". I've gotten so many compliments on all of my Cadillacs through the years, but none more so than the CT6.
The car is...THICK!
Brad James oh, ok then !
Brad James supa THICCC!
Why does even their flagship interior feel cheap? American companies just don't care about making high end interiors. Looks cheap and just thrown together. Details and design matter! They never have...never will. Lexus poo poos on this interior. What a shame.
You just blew my mind with the Supercruise feature Sofyan! This is my new dream car
Cadillacs are well known to have electronic issues so once it stops working in let’s say about a month... the novelty of buying that brand new Cadillac will wear off lol
@@DarkKnight-ko8lq ain’t that the truth 😭
This maybe your best video. I am a youtuber with a 2001 Deville I bought at a police impound. I paid $375 back in November. It was running but would not pull forward. I spent $2850 to have the transmission rebuilt. Now my engine has a blown head gasket. A shop want to charge me to pay $7,900 to install a rebuilt engine. The 1st. shop wanted $8400.
blackericdenice stay away from north star motors from 97-2004... it took gm nearly 11 years to finally fix that engine... if you like the deville.... get a 2007-2011 DTS
I took it to another shop and the guy said he replace the water pump. He charged me $805. I've put 1000 miles on the car and it don't pump out the coolant any more. The guy say a lot of shops tell people they have a blown head gasket when they have other problems. th-cam.com/video/VAtnRdJwHok/w-d-xo.html
When / where can I watch the AVA panel reviews you guys did recently? I heard Matt Moran mention it in one of his videos recently
I felt like this review was very fair; I was surprised how different it was than your review of the 2019 Ct6 Sport, which felt very critical and nitpicky. Maybe you were hangry? (jk).
Its a nice car, but personally id rather spend a little less money and get the gorgeous new Lincoln Continental if your looking for american luxury
Can i just say i fucking love the simple but exquisite design of the new caddys? Like its absolutely beautiful. Not crazy overflared lines or extra vents and shit. Instead they just made what's already there, stunning and on point.
Alex Schwartz Simplistic Beauty, indeed!
Alex Schwartz Simplistic Beauty, indeed!
I absolutely love this car, I can't wait to see the V8! Let's hope GM hooks you up with one of the first models. Your reviews are top notch.
Good old caddy still has it, glad to see an American car at the top of the class
Hell no!!!! LoL Thumbs Down
D_ nO hater lol
Cadillac discontinued the ct6 lol
Nobody buys the large and long sedans anymore. Drive this or anything similar be ready to be mistaken for a Chauffeur driving his boss around.
Lol...look ma no hands 😅
I don't like self-driving vehicles. People will go for a ride and leave their brains at home. Not a good plan. People will use it to drink and do drugs on the way to work. Not good. What happens when all the bells and whistles break down? Expensive to fix! The depreciation on a 6 year old luxury vehicle is already high. Who is going to pour $5,000 into repairing the fluff electronics on a car that old? *Keep it simple; keep it safe.* Always have your head screwed on straight when you drive and never leave your brain at home.
Christopher Calder is exactly! People already leave their brain at home and still have to drive a car
I do think the ct6 does it better than than most though. I like how it senses you not paying attention and forces your eyes back to the road. I think that is a very important feature. I do agree with you though. We won’t ever get to full autonomous driving because people are to immature to handle the progressive steps. Any touch of autonomous driving and people think their car is the millennium Falcon and they can do whatever they want. It’s sad really because there is so much potential, however people lack the self control companies need to test and evolve their technology
Super Cruise is ideal for those who love getting road head.
Ed Jones Or sniffing a bump of coke
Cue, while better, is still lacking, and idk if I like a camera looking at me at all times. This car is definitely better than the Continental, but that’s not saying much. For 3 figures, I’ll take a Navigator Black Label.
THEY DON'T OFFER ANY COLOR OPTIONS. Overall, it's a "nice" offering. "It's a really new platform... still". Good Lord. They'll sell like hotcakes! LOL. "Looking at the interior... it really hasn't changed." "I don't really like the shiny black plastic". "This plastic here feels really cheap". This is the PLATINUM model. God help the ppl that don't opt for the top-of-the-line! "Nothing really too fancy here". "The graphics could use a bit of an update". Just look elsewhere, ,folks.
Totally, 110% sold. Only issue: I don't have $90k.
Inferior is just too unsorted. Hodgepodge of materials just thrown about with no plot or reason. They need to study Volvo or Lexus. I mean even Mazda knows that flat wood trim is luxury, not shiney gloss wood. Get a clue GM
Blake Swan Cadillac needs to study Volvo or Lexus?? Are you snorting coke? GM out classes both Volvo and Lexus, neither could EVER give Cadillac design cues. Cadillac has been putting real matte finished woods in their vehicles since 2013. Why would they need to study someone else to do what they’ve already been doing? Now I personally don’t know why the wood has a gloss finish in this CT6 but you guys go way too far. Lol
@@mybro727 Out classes Volvo and Lexus? Yeah no...
I am done with GM, my 06 DTS just hit 100K and I swear it is just like a bomb went off. "clean radar" on Adaptive cruise refuses to let me use cruise control (650.00 for just the sensor), The flash high beams when you pull back the turn signal blows fuses every time, lights and cigarette lighter in the console blows fuses every time, the infamous Northstar pings like mad no matter what you put in it, HID headlights flicker all the time and you have to reset, high mount stop light on trunk 1/4 the leds are out. power steering pumps whines pretty bad..Where should I stop GRRR $$$ 55K+ and no wonder why Cadillac DTS Luxury III are only worth 1,500.00 trade in with only 115K on it. My 77 Fleetwood was the only one out of 5 Cadillac's that was worth the money. GM still does not have it together.
Looks good, but I'll wait 2 years and get a low milage one for $8,000. Cadillac resale is awful.
How's the fit and finish overall? Never look into GM product(too many issues) before but this CT6 sounds pretty good quality and interesting.
what a beast
Am i the only one who thinks sofyan is really cute? he is actually really adoreble espaiclly after when he was driving
Cadillac is still not putting a 100% into their vehicles honestly! They've been in the business since 1900's(1902 I believe) & have had an up & down hit or miss history! They seem to get their concepts right but rarely ever wow us with the actual vehicle presented to the public to buy! The sleeping giant is what they remind me of,waking every now and then just to fall right back to sleep again sadly!! With concepts like the Evoq,the Sixteen,the Cien the Elmiraj,the Ciel,the Escala you'd wonder then why aren't they more consistent,why do they continue to not offer the best & evolutionary vehicles they should be able to create? I believe they've become too conservative too let's play it safe? But that's the opposite of what everyone else is doing! They keep trying to reinvent themselves painfully when it's not the appropriate response it should be yielding to! Build the vehicles you are/should be able to! Bold, luxurious, innovative, technological & exciting & they will come! Stop being adequate & start being aggressive and daring like you once were!!
I love it! Btw my dad drives one of those🤩
All that awesome technology but the rear window shades are manually operated and don't cover the entire window. Go figure.
Amazing car. Comparably equipped s class is $30k more so big deal that a few trim pieces are not leather lined. You totally missed the storage compartment under the HUD controls left of the steering wheel. And no one seems to discover the console lid can open from either side...the greatest thing ever. Pan array, rear wheel steer and magnetic ride control...try to get those things anywhere else. AWD is standard in all CT6 except turbo 4s
Rick Gibbons, amen, brother. You nailed it. I was saying the same thing when those features were omitted or glossed over. Panaray!! You don’t just gloss over 34 speakers in the cabin. Best sound system EVER!!
A camera staring at you while driving your car? Man what the fuck. Fuck this car. The future looks boring as fuck. Gotta get rich as soon as possible. That's the only way to enjoy the future.
Cadillac looks beautiful .
Great review as usual. Thanks for taking the time to really show how that super cruise hands-free works for real life situation. I love the fact that Cadillac didnt do the awful two tone interior on this car. I don't want black leather seats dashboard and then a light-colored headliner and other inserts. But that's just my preference. It was nice to see you having so much fun driving the flagship Cadillac. Have a beautiful day
Autonomous driving. WHY ? WTF ! All manufacturers are spending fortunes on that... Does that mean less accidents at the end ? If so, will insurance companies will lower their prices ? Answer : no. At the end, we will have the worst drivers ever driving our streets and roads...
I still don’t get it. What’s the purpose of having a car that feels, embraces and , hugs the road. If I am and going to rely on system to guide, drive for me while I am brushing my hair or playing checkers? It’s getting really stupid now. Hold the wheel, punch the pedal already
This design , as well as Cadillac designs from the past , is something like when a child first starts learning how to brush their teeth . Brushing the front and the very back teeth , completely forgetting the side molars . Cadillacs have very weak side character lines . Not like the Cadillacs of the ' 50's -'60 's . Sideview design is almost nonexistent . Just front and rear ...
You couldn't give me a car that drove itself, for free.That is what I'm for. Total BS. it just adds to the price of the car and the insurance cost. GM can't command the price they want for this car, simply no value, just as well cut the car with all the other GM car scheduled to be cut.
I believe car guys will distinguish the CT6 from other cars, but everyone else will just think it is a normal cadillac. Just IMO
Edit: the car still looks good though
2018-19 CT6 my dream car. I’ll trade in my Chrysler 300. For one. No payment.
Apart from the CTS-V, Cadillac finally got a car right. Then they kill it off. WTF Cadillac!?!?
Your reviews are phenomenal. I wanted to email you to ask your opinion on a head to head comparison of these two used vehicles and which would you choose?
2017 Cadillac CT6 3.0TT Platinum
2017 Audi A6 3.0T Prestige
If you were to compare all major facets, which would you choose to purchase as your daily driver?
I always say it; this CT6 is better than most of its German rivals. I also think it's durability will be on par with Lexus. Watch out everyone.
Femi Ogunsola *watches out*
Nah chill fam. Its a gm it break in 20k miles.
Femi Ogunsola keep dreaming buddy
I’ve always had Lexus cars. Finally bought an American car this year and I’m already thinking of selling it. It’s had so many problems and the depreciation on them is the worse.
It will not last as long as a lexus. I am proof of that.
Supercruise isn't compatible with our Asian eyes @ Sofyan
Beach5and 😁😂😁
I love the vids
Mercedes-Benz Maybach S650 if possible please :D
My sister live in Arlington and driving from Richmond to Arlington can be horrific. I can see how this would be beneficial.
THIS CAR COULD BE MADE BETTER WITHOUT ITS EXTREME COMPLEXITY WHICH MAKES MAINTENANCE TOO EXPENSIVE. THE ENGINE DRSIGNS WILL LIKELY REQUIRE COSTLY REPAIRS, UNLIKE THE GM LS ENGINES.
ALSO IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT ONLY CERTIFIED SHOPS CAN WORK ON THIS CAR. SO MY LOCAL MECHANIC CANNOT.
THIS IS A RICH MANS CAR AT A TIME THAT AVERAGE WORKERS EARN LESS THAN $40K ANNUALLY.
I see that americans are jealous from laxariuos German cars like Audi and Mercedes. They praise their cars and despise European cars. What ever you do still German is the most laxariuos.
Hey that’s around where I grew up 😂 you should’ve took on 295 lol
This car was ahead of its time. LiDAR and radar is better than just relying on cameras for self driving
3:37 "oh no, I lost my big ass CT6 again!"
But for my social class here in Brazil it is impossible to stop and maintain it, since taxes on vehicles and maintenance, together with fuels, are very expensive.
$87K. Holy shit!
lol yea no. I could see if it was $87K for the V8, but for this??
