Pros: The most versatile CTS of them all, the 2014 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon combines core Cadillac CTS attributes with a healthy dose of space, flexibility, and versatility thanks to its Sport Wagon design. Offered is a motorized tailgate, opening on a generous cargo hold with a cargo management system for maximum organization on the move. Roof rails add extra carrying capacity making the CTS Sport Wagon ideal for even lengthy out-of-town voyages. On said voyages, the latest in fuel saving, multimedia, and connectivity technology keep drivers efficiently entertained and connected. Seating for five combines with up to 1,642 litres of available cargo space.

Cons: Less-expensive wagons are available, and since the CTS Sport Wagon isn’t enormous, a larger crossover SUV model may be more ideal for some shoppers. Further, the 2014 model year hasn’t yet seen the CTS Sport Wagon move into the all-new design showcased in the latest CTS sedan.

Don’t Miss: The CTS Sport Wagon’s full suite of fully automatic features. Automatic climate control self-adjusts the cabin temperature based on driver and front passenger preferences, compensating seamlessly for changing light conditions and ambient temperatures. Automatic lighting ensures confidence through maximum visibility at all times. Rain-sensing wipers switch on when rain or snow falls, and self-adjust their speed in response to precipitation levels.

2014 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon Powertrain: Look for the 2014 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon with one of two available V6 engines. The 3.0L unit generates 270 horsepower, while the high-output 3.6L unit makes 318. Both engines utilize direct injection and variable valve timing for optimal efficiency and emissions performance, and both are constructed almost entirely of lightweight aluminum for reduced vehicle weight. Best of all, both of these high-performance engines make their rated power output on less-expensive, regular grade gasoline.
