 DES MOINES, IOWA -- Cadillac’s first-ever North American wagon is a progressive take on the classic wagon body style that delivers significant functionality and fuel efficiency. It is a unique vehicle intended to connect with the changing priorities of luxury consumers. The CTS Sport Wagon is essentially the same size as the acclaimed CTS sport sedan on the outside. However, the new Sport Wagon nearly doubles carrying capacity, with a maximum of 53.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat folded.
“It’s a taut, sleek design,” said Clay Dean, global design director for Cadillac. “The drama of the sedan is amplified in the wagon, as the centerline cue that is part of the exterior and interior is more prominent and plays a stronger role in defining the design at the rear of the vehicle.”
Design highlights include: signature V-shaped deck and tailgate motif; large, vertical tail lamps with light-pipe technology; power-opening lift gate (via key fob or in-vehicle button); CHMSL-integrated roof spoiler; integrated roof load management system with cross bars for a seamless appearance; cargo management system with adjustable in-floor containment; new 19-inch wheels; and a large optional panoramic rear sunroof.
 Available features include those of the well-appointed CTS Sport Sedan, including all-wheel drive, a 40-gigabyte internal hard drive, pop-up navigation screen and a hand-cut-and-sewn cabin.
Offered in rear- or all-wheel drive, the CTS Sport Wagon is propelled by a 3.0L DI V-6 powerplant. Along with direct injection technology, the 3.0L engine employs variable valve timing to optimize power and fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
An optional 3.6L DI V-6 prime mover is also available. It is a larger-displacement member of the engine family that also includes the standard 3.0L engine. Both engines balance performance and efficiency while operating on regular unleaded. Torque is communicated to the asphalt through a Hydra-Matic 6L45 or 6L50 six-speed automatic transmission.
Inside the passenger cabin, the CTS Sport Wagon takes the successful formula of its sedan predecessor and adds a level of storage capability. The rear cargo area contains an integrated cargo management system that stows neatly under the floor when not in use. The standard power lift gate is operated by push-button and can be programmed to lift to a specific height.
 The cockpit and rear seating areas of the Sport Wagon are shared with the award-winning CTS sedan. The CTS’ interior emphasizes technical precision with elegant, hand-crafted details. An integrated center stack design, with either a satin metallic finish or genuine Sapele Pommele wood, blends into the lower instrument panel that sweeps forward and away from front-seat occupants. The hand-assembled center console leads seamlessly into the center stack, providing a sportier “cockpit” feel for the driver and passenger without compromising space.
Available heated and ventilated seats incorporate “thin-seat” technology for maximum occupant comfort and enhanced rear-seat leg, knee and foot room. French stitching is used throughout the interior, including the upper instrument panel, door inserts, seats and the shifter boot.
