General Motors’ global flagship brand, Cadillac, will be formally introduced to the Australian car market at next month's Australian International Motor Show with the local debut of the new CTS sedan which will be sold here in 2009.
The rear-wheel drive CTS sedan is powered by a 3.6-litre VVT direct injection V6 engine generating 227 kW of power and 370 Nm of torque and features a sharp-edged design language dubbed “Art and Science”. It has been named ‘2008 Car of the Year’ by US motoring magazine, Motor Trend.
GM believes the combined strong performance and equipment levels of the CTS will give Australian car buyers a competitive alternative to traditional European brands.
“Cadillac is built on a strong history of innovation and has undergone a renaissance driven by a new generation of vehicles with dramatic design, a focus on driving performance and technical innovation,” said the Director of GM Premium Brands, Parveen Batish.
“The CTS triggered strong demand in the US from luxury consumers following its launch last year, with sales rising 60 per cent, and its introduction to the important Australian market will continue to move the brand forward.”
