Riding on an all-new platform that's stronger and lighter, while nearly stretching as long as flagship sedans from Germany and Japan, the completely new 2016 Cadillac CT6 promises to be a world class sedan that offers a new level of driving involvement not typically associated with big luxury sedans. It's a must drive for those of you looking for American luxury that offers all the features and power of your neighbors German sedan but at a much lower price point.
Just got a 2018 model today. Didnt floor it. Just drove it home like a grandpa. Hahaha completely in love
Hows the ride quality and those seats????
The good o'll grandpas Cadillac!
I had no interest in Cadillac until my son bought a CTS. After driving that, I bought myself an ATS Premium with the 3.6 AWD. Never going back.
What are you driving these days ?
@@Natethegreat200c got a Lincoln MKZ hybrid for long commute. But still have the Caddy, 225k miles and drives like new.
@@hydrazi LOVE THAT!!!!! My boyfriend and I are supposed to be getting a MKZ hybrid by the end of this year. How do you like it ??
I absolutely love this car. Cadillac has been killing it lately. That interior is beautiful! I LOVE the black/cinnamon and carbon fiber!
I've never see sofyan so excited and impressed with any other car..must be really great!
me too
Yup
What the Jaguar review. He might have liked that better, I know he definitely loved the exhaust sound.
+jmen8888 I love the modern Jaguar exhaust sounds, that being said, they have a ways to go until the whole car stacks up to this.
dee k ikr
this thing is straight up amazing, well done to Cadillac on the interior and the crazy light weighting, 3600 lbs base weight is crazy.
and the 4 wheel steering is amazing too didn't expect that from Cadillac thier finally growing out of it.
-Biuld not Brought Type R- i am shocked cadillac decided to put 4 wheel steering in the CT6 as well, im glad they have more freedom now as they have moved away from GM.
+justin bouche yeah, thier doing very well with their line up at the moment, I can't wait to see some comparisons with its German rivals.
-Biuld not Brought Type R- im sure it will do well, though personally i dont think its quite S class level, now with that said a S class will top out at 160K while a CT6 will top out at 88K so there is that, but really what you're getting is a full sized luxury sedan with every single option / feature at a lower price than a non-optioned S class lol.
+justin bouche yeah it blows everyone of them out the water in terms of what your getting for your money: an actual drivers car that's fun and can be comfortable when you need it to be while still a fraction of the price it's German rivals , I mean even when the ATSV dropped it had features that the 80k BMW didn't like leather seats, a back up camera, heated steering wheel etc, and all around a bang for Buck sports sedan and even the 16' camaro had leather seats standard (correct me if I'm wrong) Cadillac really is bringing out the true M cars of the past in American form only at a fraction of the price and better imo. BMW even use artificial speaker systems to try and glorify the I6 and make the M4 better, used electric steering and made it all around feel like a cheap car for what your getting for your money , i just hope consumers can see that Cadillac has changed and that they don't only appeal to older buyers anymore and their maturing and really taking out their German rivals one by one slowly lol
I was at the BMW dealership today with my black 16 Cadillac CT6 Platinum, and all the guests and salespeople cannot help but stare at the Cadillac.. It made me really happy. This vehicle is really a head turner both in performance and looks. I think Cadillac have out done themselves with this car for sure.
Femi Ogunsola i need to borrow that! Thanks! lol
The Lincoln Continental Black Label really rivals the CT6, though.
Kool Acclaimed™ Not really its a FWD the CT6 is RWD there totally different cars they don’t compete with each other! Now the XTS and the Lincoln compete there FWD cars and are both very similar
@@MrTblackmon not the back
@@jrcleaning What?
Glad to see Cadillac getting back to its roots. What was once a Grandpa car looks like it will be appropriate for the younger and older alike. It’s on my list!
cadillac and chevy are underated as fuck
yea
You mean overrated
GoodDay underrated
+Marthalamule Mcleish I agree with you
Benjamin Hatchett thanks
You can tell it drives amazingly.
Active ride control is why it handles and rides so well, good job Caddy.
you are so professional, knowledgable, and classy. I sincerely appreciate your reviews, insight and approach in your vids my man. I haven't watched ONE of your videos that I haven't flat out loved. DON'T CHANGE A THING PLEASE!! - A loyal lifer.
Matthew Gottung I agree.
Cadillac really is back in the game.
Lincoln is really back, in my opinion.
If Sofyan is impressed, this vehicle must be THAT DAMN GOOD.
Excellent review Sofyan!
I just test drove this at the Chicago auto show and I was absolutely astonished at how much I liked this car. A full test drive in definitely in order.
if I was 10 years older, i had the budget and i didn't care about the depreciation of these cars, I would totally get it, 100%, I love GM cars
I've watched your reviews for a minute now and I am a big fan.....and to hear "you" say "Holy Crap" the way you did lets me know Cadillac is back!
I've had a BMW, Mercedes, Acura, and Cadillac CTS. This will be my next car, no doubt. It's beautiful.
the only time I seen you this happy is when you was driving the Chevy camero ss lol
yeah
And the jaguar f-type r.
ricky stewart ikr
I can't get enough of that one of these cars back in the day really reminds me reminds me the time when they first came out
I adore that car for the first time to be the best car in the history in the making
it's funny how people still buy bmws all the time ,even though there ridiculously over priced and there dashboards and gages havnt changed since the mid 80's. looked at a BMW 3 series 320i . I know it's the lower one but it's 42,000 and has a 180 hp turbo 4 and no chrome around the window trim. Ridiculous
Plus no backup camera no real leather bluetooth etc. BMW makes you pay extra for every little thing while other luxury manufactures come standard in.
My Dream Car! Wow! One day...
Sylvia Jones Davis Stevenson same
This ct6 and the cts represents this brand really well. They both look unique and gorgeous.
I don't like cars in white most the time but this caddy looks pretty sharp in white.
It has a very modern, clean, subtle design...that's why it looks good in white.
Its pearl white
I think Cadillac has a winner here.for the price the exterior is gorgeous, and the interior is the best interior GM has probably ever made. the engineering under the sheet metal is also something we haven't seen from the competitors. even the AWD system is great. the dark interior compliments the layout very well. if I had the money Id go for a mid level 3.6 in white with all black interior :)
The Cadillac CT7/8/9 programs are NOT scrapped, they are delayed. The XT (or crossover touring) 4/6/7 have been fast tracked instead along with their new Twin Turbo 4 Liter 8 cylinder. I saw your response to a comment below. This is NOT the flagship Cadillac. It's simply the biggest Cadillac (sedan).
Man Cadillac did a GREAT job on this car, I mean for this Omega platform in general.
Another great review, keep it up!! Your reviews are down to earth, real, yet still descriptive. The ones in car mags are often too flowery,/artsy and don't convey the same information that yours do.
Thigh extension is power adjustable in cue just FYI
For a split second I seriously thought Sofyan was about to plow into that Jeep.
ThinkOutsideTheCube ikr
😂I laughed so hard
You definitely have my dream job... I would love to test and review vehicles.
The 1-2 shift is a nearly perfect major 3rd and the 2-3 shift is a nearly perfect perfect 4th, making them even more pleasant to hear.
Love the new Cadillacs!
Hope they release a slightly smaller car than the ATS, like a CT1 or CT2 to compete with the 2 series and CLA 250. Especially if the rumors are true and they keep it RWD with the 3.0TT as an option in a V-sport package.
This ain't your grandparents Cadillac in my opinion for years to come around from point of a lifetime 💯pure moment
One of the best sounding V6's on the market, no doubt. Great review!
That's a bit of a stretch
***** I know. The car is very long.
See what I did there?
F-Type, G37 ?
too bad the Q don't sound like the G any more :(
$81,000 and he is surprised with soft touch materials? Cadillac needed to produce cars at almost cost to the consumer to win the back. My friends and I and my family don't even bother to look at Cadillac anymore. They dragged their feet for 40 years and expected different. Great...any car company can come up with a good car relative to price. You were going through features and I was thinking....thats going to add a hell of a lot of money and it did. No one is going to shop this with an S Class. This is for "Americans" (like me) that want to buy "American" and have been looking forward to it for so many years. Mercedes earned their reputation. I would maybe shop this with a top E Class..espdcially the sleek new one. No one is going to say...ooohh...S Class or CT6. I add almost $30,000 more in options...it better damn well have a decent engine and good seats. Good review...a bit too many wows. You are usually good and this is a good review...a bit too much reviww pressure and I'm nlt spending $81,000 on a Cadillac. (and not the top $ version) Weight saving is the best thing about this car. Are they still using those old trunk pillars?...wow indeed. Old people dont want to be thrown around. Magnetic suspension option is great but much more money! Drive a $60,000-65 version and thats a real review. Of course a tester is coming with almost all the bells and whistles. I want to see a side by side review with an S Class...hmm
I have an ATS 2.0t and it drives like a masterpiece. Smooth and sporty so I can only imagine how this car handles 🔥
I want it....and am gonna get it. Had my car in the dealer for repairs and he rolls out this big black beautiful CT6 as a loaner. Now they don’t use these as loaners but I think he just wanted to impress me and maybe get me to trade my very rare 2012 fully loaded CTS 4 Wagon. Not gonna happen. BUT....I loved driving the CT6. People were so impressed by it. It has that “very successful” look about it.....which I did not like so much since I am more understated in my ways. Any way...the car was super excellent. I am talking about the 2020 CT6 since I am only just watching this video now in 2020. I love Cadillac. Keep up the good work. I have no interest in giving the Germans all my money.
I know you mentioned it briefly, but I really love that you mentioned the audio system. I would love for you to continue to do so in future reviews. I have ruled out cars in the past based solely on the audio system, so there are those of us out there that really do care about the audio upgrades in our cars. Thanks and great review.
This is the nicest car money can buy. IMO Cadillac IS the Standard of the World. Lincolns, BMWs, LEXUS, Mercedes are nice, but Cadillac is mean!!!
What a refreshing change from the Germans - wow. Great review too.
Great video and you did an EXCELLENT job, and thanks for being truthful.
This thing is beautiful...well done Cadillac!
and that engine...wow!
Gerard Pritchard ikr
You can tell be really enjoys driving the car. I would love to have one. Maybe one day.
Watch this guy a lot lately. Very informative and professional videos. Great camera angles and nice choice of music. But his voice.....I know, I know, had to say it though...club me. Seriously though, two thumbs up man.
Love the color of the seats!!!! Can’t find one like this
I don't understand why the Feds wouldn't wanna approve of that rear camera feed feature. It's way better than the standard mirror. I hope other OEMs will copy it.
That's just another example of Government busybodies sticking their nose and meddling in private business which they have no right to do. That's the exact thing that stifles innovative ingenuity and kills free enterprise. If I were GM I would have grown a pair and man up and told the feds to back off and to go fuck themselves and keep their commie asses out of my business.
You might find some great details in the owners manual... the touch pad has multi finger gestures like a Mac. Its much more capable than what it first appears to be, and in fact might leap frog the "knob" concept, which is now 15 year old technology.
Holy shmokes!!! I love your reactions. Honest unfiltered.
The competition is FIERCE! I can't wait for their "real" flagship!
my next car. Love it, thanks!
Great review - glad you're sticking with the longer format
Now that was a great review of the 2016 love that car love all the good things you had to say about it I can't wait to get my hands on it
I seen this version ct6 2016 on the road. Its prettier than you think. I own a 2014 CTS. Although, I don't agree with the 3rd brake light being in the rear window, I prefer it on the trunk, I am highly considering upgrading to this version! It a bigger cts in my eyes.
Do you know if this car had any significant problems over the years????Great review my man...
oh hey look a bmw 7 series that actually drives like a bmw 7 series should
too bad it has the cadillac badge and JUST because of the badge, it'll sell poorly
omfg your comment is so accurate too it's sad due to ignorant biggotry people turn this car down because of it's badge.. the same can be said about an ATSV that really is 10 miles ahead of a BMW M4, and you get more car for your money.
The new 7 series drives great, but again that's not what the buyers care about.
It sells like shit because of the shit caddy did before. They still don't have respect.
They need to hire bird man as CEO. People need to start to repec Cadillac.
Infiniti and Lincoln are well behind the competition LOL
great looking car.... and that sound !!! impressive package for the buck.....
Man this is what Cadillac should be!!!
Do you feel that the CT6 with the 3.6 V6 would feel just as fast!
While I do prefer a sporty car and its astonishing that it handles like it does, a full size sedan doesn't need to be sporty. I think it would be wise to offer a more comfort oriented chassis tuning since that's what someone coming from an S-Class would expect and probably prefer.
Impressive. Cadillac has come along way from the Devilles I owned back in the '70s.
Hey DeVille is awesome
Wow didn't expect that reaction, imagine how good the CT6-V will be if there ever is one
Cadillac has been working on a new 4.0TT V8 for 3 years so it's possible... of course that engine was meant to go in the CT8 flagship which I think may have been cancelled.
MrCarGuy20 Yeah it's reportedly been canceled, real shame!
cue system is great in 2014 models and up . it's responsive and great why does everyone bash on it
It forces you to take your eyes off the road unfortunately. I still love how it looks and how it works. I own a 2015 ats myself but it definitely makes you take your eyes off the road compared to the 328 that I had prior to it.
Its great having AWD for performance too because if you need to pull out in traffic its much safer than spinning out and not moving.
Not to be rude but your voice sounds like Leonard from the big bang theory show.
Bitemyshinny Metalass cause they're both gay
Driving behind another jeep Sofyan? You know a vehicle is fast when Sofyan starts laughing. He really loves this car
damm this is a nice car wow can you plz get your hands on the Chrysler Pacifica van 2017 limited edition
I see that you use the word "flagship" quite often in this video, but Cadillac marketing team aviods to mention that this is their flagship model, instead they just call this top of the range model in the sedan line. John de Nysschen, CEO of Cadillac, wanted to make this clear because CT8 or CT9 is coming up in near future and that would be the real flagship sedan for the brand. Only flagship vehicle in current Cadillac line up is the Escalade
There was a CT8 planned, but that has been scrapped for now as Cadillac wants to focus all their attention on the crossover market.
+Redline Reviews Neither Cadillac nor GM confirmed that the CT8 project has been scrapped. It may have been pushed back by a couple of years, but, they did not scrap plans for it. Cadillac has 11 new vehicle projects under way, and the CT8 will be one of them.
I talked to a few people within GM and I can tell you there is still a CT8 coming. I got this info from a dealer owner and a Cadillac marketing rep just about a month ago. The car has been pushed back a year or so but its absolutely not cancelled.
Such a shame that GM abandoned the CT6 . . . if they had resolved the model's transmission nightmares and buildquality issues, it could have continued and succeeded as their flagship sedan.
Agree. (and even afer 4 years, this Redline Review is the most thorough on TH-cam.) Nice work.
Holy-Moley?? Haven't heard that in years.
Another great review. Thanks man! I have a 2015 CTS and I love it but the exhilaration on your face on this video makes me look forward to my next car. Question for you - how are you capturing sound in the interior? It sounds good, little background noise.
you have a fan for life.
Love that 2 tone interior w the CFiber accents.
This A Nice CADILLAC nice SEDAN good job GENERAL MOTORS 😮😮😮😮😮
Excellent review! Thank you!
I have been driving mine since 16 and it still turns heads.
You do fantastic reviews. Can you please get your hands on one of those new 2017 Ford Fusion Sports. With 300+ hp and all wheel drive I cant wait to see how good it is.
Best part of video was you enjoying thee acceleration. Gm.mixes cheap parts with good parts
Wait till the CT6-V is released...4.2TT
Amazing review love this car and love your video style. Really really good
I need this car and will stop at nothing till I have one
is that a WRX I see in the background? Future review?
Yup! That review will go up next week! ;)
Great, looking forward to it!
Vehicle Virgins said that the door handles felt cheap because they were made of flimsy plastic and that the engine sounded like that of a minivan when he matted it on the one he had, but then again he was comparing it to his Mercedes S550.
and his s550 is god.
I really like what Volvo has done with the new S90. Scooped in front grill, (retro, yet a great departure from the rest of the automakers), and the controversial back end of the car, which I think is gorgeous, despite the comparative criticism of other model cars. You must see it in person before you judge from a video or pictures. Plus we have the safety of the Volvo (safest car there is) and a totally re-engineered interior which is simplistic yet utterly luxurious.
Volvo hit a Grand Slam. Congrats Volvo on two steps up in the luxury from what we are used to from Volvo, yet maximized safety.
looks like they cane to take over The germans with body looks looks really good .
Great review... I'm curious about the 0-60 times. You should add real world 0-60 tests to your videos. That's quite pertinent info
I test drove this last week and I was awe struck at the power , comfort of ride and the handling was superb . its a shame head and tail lights IMO are so awful looking . all in all I will buy a used one in a year or two .
unjaded2 I am a used car dealer, eating for it in 5 years, buy it at 1/4 the price. I love Caddys.
waiting not eating
You should Definitely do the Dodge Charger, and Challenger Scatpack 392, or at least the R/T Road&Track Version. The Chrysler 300 would be another good one, so would the New Focus RS if you haven't already. The Chevy SS Holden would be another great review if you can find one, those are hard to track down. Or the New Impala.
are you going to make videos in 4K again? great job on all your reviews btw
Awesome review love the mirror trick and the car is beautiful 👍🏾
There's alot of similarities compared to my 16 XTS Vsport Premium. Some things I like better, some not so much. The exterior is phenomenal.
Great review. I am excited to say a Cadillac sedan that seems to out drive the Euro compeititors. Wow. It must be 2016!
Holy moley. im lmfao you jus got done saying Cadillac has gotten away from your grandfathers Cadillac the wreath is gone n then you say HOLY MOLEY HOLY CRAP . as your speeding through country side . Also if your a cadi owner Gas dont mean a dam thing . Great review 54grand is fine . Its feb 2022 so w/40,000 miles im expecting this 7 yr old vehicle. Should be around 24 grand in great condition . thanks again hope i can find one w/white exterior & red Interior
Foot flat down mid turn this guy must be a professional driver.
Loving your Reviews Sofyan, enjoyable & Informative. Also Love your enthusiasm in Regards to this Model. Being an Aussie & Knowing Andrew Smith plus multiple other Aussies are Heavily Involved in GM Products, I Totally understand the Driver Enjoyment these Products are Obtaining. I honestly have to say your Reviews are the Best I have Watched. Good Work Mate. :-)
I heard you trying to censor a couple words. "Holy sh-- mokes!"
Exterior: what a beautiful machine. Sleek, excellent proportions, regal presence. It looks like the kind of car that makes you want to wear nicer clothes.
Interior: the overall layout is... Fine. It's not stunning like the exterior. My biggest issue is with the font and colors of the instrument gauge and CUE display. It doesn't read as luxury at all, at least on camera. Hopeful that there are alternative layouts that don't remind me of an arcade game? The font looks like they borrowed it from a gas station ATM. Small but significant details, and in this class, it's all about the details.
I do not see how Caddy can fail with their new cars . it might take a while to filter down though,and then people will be sorry they waited so long.
+Redline Reviews would you take the CT6 over the new Volvo V90? The Candy's interior and infotainment looks so hodgepodge and incohersive with carbon fiber, orange leather, platics everywhere and a weird mesh leather on the dash. Too many cooks in the kitchen in my opinion. The Volvo on the other had is cheaper price wise, so elegant looking, and the interior has that "wow" factor. Curious on your thoughts.
Blake Swan I agree I would get a more normal color and wood trim instead of carbon fiber this way at least the interior only has a few things going on instead of a dozen
I feel like it needs some piano black on the center console instead of the dark grey look, I think it would contrast with the carbon fiber better and give it a richer look. Maybe just me though.
