Forbidden Fruit Review: 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic Wagon

Mercedes has for years owned the performance wagon segment in the U.S. Mind you, it’s a vanishingly small piece of the market. Between the demise of the achingly quixotic Cadillac CTS-V wagon in 2014—556-hp supercharged V-8 under the hood, and 514 of them built with a six-speed manual transmission—and this year’s launch of the Audi RS 6 Avant, the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S wagon and Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S have been the only players in the segment.

Over in Europe, though, go-fast wagon enthusiasts are spoiled for choice. The midsize Mercedes-AMG C 63 and Audi RS 4 Avant sell alongside their larger siblings. BMW fans can order the 455-hp Alpina B3, based on the 3 Series wagon. Mini offers a 306-hp John Cooper Works version of the Clubman wagon, and Volkswagen a 296-hp Golf R wagon. Hell, even Škoda is in on the act, its front-drive 245-hp Octavia vRS wagon fitted with 19-inch alloy wheels, an electric limited-slip diff, and available with a six-speed manual transmission.

Of them all, the 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic wagon is perhaps the Goldilocks option: quick and full of AMG character, but not too big and not too expensive.

Europe’s C 43 4Matic wagon is mechanically identical to the recently refreshed C 43 sedan that is part of the Mercedes lineup in the U.S. That means an AMG-massaged twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 under the hood that develops 385 hp at 6,100 rpm and 384 lb-ft of torque from 2,500 rpm to 5,000 rpm. The engine drives all four wheels through the nine-speed AMG Speedshift TCT 9G transmission, with 69 percent of the torque directed to the rear axle. AMG Ride Control sport suspension is standard, as are 18-inch alloy wheels with 225/45 tires up front, and 245/40 items at the rear. Cosmetic upgrades include more aggressively styled AMG fascias front and rear, side skirts, and four bazooka-sized exhaust pipes peeking out from under the rear bumper.

Price? In the U.S. the AMG E 63 S wagon is listed at $111,750, a four percent premium over the E 63 S sedan. Applying the same 4 percent premium to the AMG C 43 sedan’s price of $55,950 would suggest a theoretical U.S. market price of about $58,200 for the wagon, or about $1,200 more than Mercedes-Benz USA currently charges for the AMG GLC 43 sport ute.

If you like driving, it’s worth the premium. The all-wheel-drive C 43 4Matic wagon delivers pretty much all the practicality of the GLC 43 SUV (which, let’s face it, no one will actually take any further off-road than the local supermarket parking lot) with none of the dynamic compromises. Weighing 376 pounds less than its SUV cousin, the C43 wagon gets to 60 mph with less effort—it’s at least a tenth of a second quicker—and, helped by its lower center of gravity, feels more agile and planted through the twisties. It rides better, even on the optional 19-inch wheels fitted to our tester, and the lower seating position means lateral body motions are less exaggerated. There’s more oily precision in the steering, and the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system gives you exactly the same traction on snowy roads as the GLC 43.

The GLC 43 makes sense if you really need an extra 3.2 inches of ground clearance or have to haul around 3.2 cubic feet more stuff. If you don’t, the AMG C 43 4Matic wagon is way more satisfying to drive, a quick and comfortable cruiser that will devour the interstates yet put a smile on your face on a winding two-lane as you surf the growling twin-turbo V-6’s fat torque curve. And it looks cooler, too; low slung and sleeker, with none of the faux-utilitarian design clichés automakers seem obliged to stick on even the most road-oriented SUVs.

Maybe, once we’re bored with SUVs that are heavier and thirstier than they need to be, and less useful than they pretend to be, America will fall in love with the wagon again. Let’s hope so, because that would open the door to the U.S. market for the engagingly fast, supremely competent, and relatively attainable Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic wagon, the sports car for the modern family.

Cadillac Unveils CT5 and CT4 'V-Sport' Models - Tries to Call Them V-Series

On May 30, Cadillac finally unveiled the V version of the, not yet on sale, CT5. They also took this opportunity to debut the next sedan in the line-up, the CT5’s baby brother, the CT4.

Now, Cadillac will say that these are V-Series. Don’t buy that hype.

These V’s are straight down the middle the ‘V-Sport’ versions of both cars. The CT4, essentially an ATS replacement, is packing over 140hp less than the ATS-V it replaces. The CT5 is packing is down 285hp from the CTS-V it replaces. Both are packing turbo engines, (a 2.7L inline-4 and 3.0L V-6 respectively). They are also automatic (10-speed) only and available in both rear and all-wheel drive.

Additionally, Cadillac rebranded the CT6 V-Sport as the CT6 V-Series - showing in no uncertain terms that Cadillac is changing what V-Series means in their line-up…a step up from the Sport trim while not packing the track-ready credentials that have been the hallmark of the V-Series since the very first model (the 2004 CTS-V).

Now, as V-Sports, these are solid entries. But we can’t wait to see the CT4-V that brings the missing power to bear and comes with a manual (a true ATS-V replacement). The CT5 should also get a true V-Series trim in the future, probably packing the Blackwing V-8 and well over 500hp - though we’d prefer to see something well over 600 since that is what we enjoyed in the last CTS-V. Chances are that both of the ‘real’ V-Series trims will be rear-drive only…unless Cadillac decides the all-wheel drive BMW M5 is worth matching feature for feature.

But, the communication from Cadillac could have been significantly clearer than what they chose to put forward this time.

Read on for the press release:

Driven by Cadillac’s latest turbocharging technology and building on more than 15 years of performance credentials, the first-ever 2020 CT4-V and CT5-V were unveiled today, expanding choices for the brand’s V-Series performance sub-brand.

Following the 2019 CT6-V, they grow the V-Series family with even more levels of performance, while preserving the lineage established by the original V-Series lineup introduced in 2004.   

“The new V-Series sedan lineup defines modern sophistication by combining luxury appointments with thoughtful technology and athletic refinement for the discerning enthusiast,” said Brandon Vivian, Cadillac executive chief engineer. “We are inviting even more customers into the V-Series family by adding a new level of elevated performance between our Sport models and the ultimate, high-performance track capability that the V-Series has grown to represent.”

The first-ever CT4 and recently introduced CT5 represent Cadillac’s realigned sedan portfolio, characterized by new proportions, innovative technologies and more appearance and performance choices. Each is built on Cadillac’s award-winning rear-wheel-drive Alpha architecture, with the V-Series models developed to deliver the ultimate blend of performance, presence and road-going refinement.

Both share the latest standard V-Series performance technologies, including Magnetic Ride Control 4.0, which is tuned specifically for V models to enhance comfort without sacrificing performance-oriented responsiveness, and drive modes that include new V-Mode personalization. Each model is available in RWD or AWD and features a 10-speed automatic transmission, Brembo front brakes with eBoost electronic assist and a limited-slip rear differential on CT4-V and electronic limited-slip differential on CT5-V.

Cadillac’s exclusive Super Cruise1, the first true hands-free driver assistance feature for the freeway, is available on more than 130,000 miles of limited-access freeways in the U.S. and Canada. It will be available on both new V-Series models.  

“The new lineup expands the V-Series ethos, drawing more customers into the Cadillac Performance family, and the newest Vs are focused on elevated athleticism and luxurious refinement for customers wanting a dynamic daily drive,” said Mark Reuss, GM president. “And this is only the beginning of the V family. Cadillac’s passion for performance shines on a racetrack. Stay tuned.”

Vehicle highlights CT5-V — The first-ever CT5-V builds on the precision-focused details of the all-new luxury sedan introduced earlier this year to offer elevated road performance and an engaging driving experience.  

Powered by Cadillac’s high-output 3.0L Twin Turbo V-6 engine, which uses low-inertia turbochargers to enhance power production across the rpm band. It is rated at a Cadillac-estimated 355 horsepower (265 kW), pending SAE certification.

Future Cars! 2020 and Beyond

Car buyers—you’re in for a treat. Because no matter your budget for a new car, the future is bright. The wait is almost over for Corvette fans waiting for a mid-engine layout, but with the Shelby GT500 and new M3 on the way, the Chevy will have some serious sports car company.

And maybe you’ve heard, but our automotive future is electrified. From Fiat to Audi, fully electric cars you might actually want to drive will be here soon (if a Model 3 and the other existing options aren’t your style).

So keep reading for more on future cars headed to a dealership near you.

Future SUVs! 2020 and Beyond

WHAT’S NOW

Chevrolet Corvette

What’s New: The long-awaited mid-engine Corvette is finally here. After years of rumors, spy shots, leaks, and speculation, Chevrolet will finally peel the camo off this July. When it does, we expect to find a dual-overhead-cam V-8 under the rear glass with a pair of turbochargers driving the rear wheels through a manual or dual-clutch automatic transaxle. Multiple power outputs are expected courtesy of various displacements, with both 4.2-liter and 5.5-liter versions to be fitted. An all-new electrical architecture will feature top-of-the-line sensors and computers for performance and handling enhancement, but you’ll no doubt be able to turn them all off, too. Inside, Chevrolet has gone upscale with a classy, driver-focused interior featuring premium materials and a digital instrument cluster. Although base-model Corvettes will start at about $70,000, higher-performance models will quickly shoot up in price to cover both the development cost and the improvements in technology, performance, and comfort. But they should still remain relatively attainable.

What’s Not: Base cars are expected to employ Chevrolet’s tried-and-true 6.2-liter pushrod V-8. Midrange cars might also employ the supercharged pushrod engine. We predict Chevrolet will continue to offer a removable targa roof that will store in the cargo area.

When: July 18, 2019

How Much: $70,000-$140,000 (est)

Porsche Taycan

What’s New: Everything. For some time now, the highly anticipated first all-electric Porsche sedan has been caught testing, piling up about 1.2 million miles in the process. It’s looking less futuristic than its Mission E concept, but we know an 800-volt system sends power to two electric motors generating a combined 440 kW (590 hp), and that power is sent to all four wheels. Said to be quicker than 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and with more than 300 miles range, the Taycan will be available at the end of this year. Buyers will receive three years of free charging at the 484 Electrify America public stations across the country. Using DC fast charging, up 60 miles of range can be had in just four minutes or roughly 250 miles in about 15 minutes. Some reports indicate the automaker wants to introduce higher-performance variants and a Targa. We can’t wait.

What’s Not: Even EV skeptic (and longtime Porsche test driver/brand ambassador) Walter Röhrl was impressed: “It’s crazy. In all my years of rallying, I’ve never experienced such performance. The Taycan goes so well at such speed, really tremendous. If I had to drive it blindfolded, I would still know immediately that I was sitting in a Porsche.”

When: Late 2019

How Much: $85,000 (est)

BMW M3

What’s New: The 2021 M3 will carry the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine as the X3M and X4M crossovers, meaning 473 hp and 442 lb-ft of output (or thereabouts, due to slightly different tuning for a sedan and crossover). That should result in 0–60 acceleration around 3.7 seconds. (Note: The current model tops out at 444 hp on the CS version.) A year or so down the line, the M3 Competition will provide in the neighborhood of 500-plus hp. The new G20 platform rides with 1.6 inches more wheelbase and has a wider track, which might prioritize corner-on-rails stability over quick-twitch handling. The M3 should allow for both RWD and AWD applications. (AWD might be defeatable to RWD if desired, as on the M5.) There is rumor of a “Pure” stripped-down base model with a stick shift (yay!) but slightly less power (sigh).

What’s Not: Some switches, controls, and knobs. It’s a new platform with upgraded engines, even a new infotainment interface.

When: Early 2020

How Much: $68,000 (est)

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

What’s New: The Shelby GT500 returns for the first time on the sixth-gen Mustang. Using a new engine and some aero enhancements, Ford promises this Mustang can hit 180 mph and that it won’t overheat at the track. This Shelby ought to be easier to lap, too, as it comes standard with a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic. There are no plans for a manual in 2020.

What’s Not: Although it shares its displacement with the GT350’s flat-plane-crank V-8, the Shelby GT500’s 5.2-liter V-8 is a cross-plane design. Between that and the supercharger, Ford claims power and torque have increased from 526 hp and 429 lb-ft in the GT350 to more than 700 hp and 600 lb-ft in the GT500.

When: Late 2019

How Much: $75,000 (est)

Cadillac CT5

What’s New: The CT5 is a new nameplate for Cadillac. This compact sedan replaces the ATS and CTS and is an evolution of Cadillac’s design language. The standard engine is the new 237-hp, 258-lb-ft 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged I-4 that made its first appearance in the CT6 refresh. A modified 335-hp, 400 lb-ft 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 (smaller turbos) is available and debuts in the CT5. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. New rear badging will denote a rounded-off torque figure in Newton-meters. Super Cruise will be added in the second model year. A CT5-V is expected in the future.

What’s Not: It rides on GM’s rear-wheel-drive Alpha platform with some enhancements to the carryover front multilink strut and rear five-link suspension. All-wheel drive will be available on all trim levels.

When: Fall 2019

How Much: $48,000

Volkswagen Golf

What’s New: Volkswagen’s popular hatchback enters its eighth generation and will reportedly grow slightly in size with a few design tweaks. The sporty GTI will allegedly feature a mild hybrid powertrain featuring a 48-volt electrical system that will power the turbocharger to improve low-end boost before the exhaust pressure builds. It’s not yet clear whether the standard non-GTI Golf will return to the U.S. market.

What’s Not: The new Golf will still ride on VW’s MQB platform, though rumors suggest it’s been revised to cut weight.

When: Early 2020

How Much: $23,000 (est)

Maserati Alfieri

What’s New: The Alfieri has been designed from the ground up to be Maserati’s new halo car. It’s available as either a coupe or convertible with three levels of electrification. The EV version featuring three-motor, four-wheel drive and a quick-charging 800-volt battery will top the lineup.

What’s Not: Both the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the Alfieri will use a Ferrari-sourced engine. If that engine is a V-8, it will probably be a version of the 3.8-liter twin-turbo currently found in the Levante GTS.

When: 2020

How Much: $150,000 (est)

Porsche 718 Boxster T/718 Cayman T

What’s New: Following the widely praised “T” prescription that was given to 911 Carrera brethren, the 718 twins will similarly enjoy reduced weight, lowered and further-honed suspension, the Sport Chrono package, and Porsche Torque Vectoring. A six-speed manual is standard; a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic is optional. The 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four 718 T (likely 300 hp, 280 lb-ft) will slot into the lineup between S and GTS versions in terms of price but surely will be the pointiest 718 available.

What’s Not: Engine output for the States has not yet been finalized, but as in the base car, it’s a 2.0-liter turbo for certain. The Cayman T coupe and Boxster T roadster body lines remain the same; only subtle interior and exterior distinctions are visible.

When: 2020

How Much: $70,000 (est)

Subaru Legacy

What’s New: The Legacy moves over to Subaru’s new Global Platform, which the automaker says is safer, handles better , and maximizes interior volume. An optional 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-four is now available, and the redesigned interior can be had with a large 11.6-inch touchscreen oriented vertically on the dashboard. The EyeSight package of driver assistance technology is now standard, and other driver assist features are available.

What’s Not: A 2.5-liter flat-four engine still serves as the base powertrain, but has been updated with 90 percent new parts and direct injection for the 2020 Legacy.

When: Fall 2019

How Much: $24,000 (est)

Hyundai Elantra

What’s New: After a refresh for 2019, the compact Elantra is back with more updates for 2020. The Elantra will feature a new CVT. Like its cousin, the 2019 Kia Forte, it’s likely to grow in size compared to its predecessor. Expect gains in fuel economy, with the base 2.0-liter engine hitting 41 mpg on the highway.

What’s Not: Although power figures haven’t been released, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has been confirmed once again. It’s likely the model will also continue with 1.4- and 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines.

When: Late 2019

How Much: $18,500 (est)

WHAT’S NEXT

Aston Martin Vanquish

What’s New: It’s Aston’s take on a Ferrari mid-engine supercar, specifically at the new F8 Tributo revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March. If it looks anything like the concept and revives the Vanquish name, we’ll be extremely happy. The Vanquish could pack the new V-6 hybrid turbo behind the seats, possibly making north of 700 hp to compete directly with the Tributo. We’ve heard the new model is being developed with the help of Red Bull Racing engineers, so expect the car to have a lot of F1 bits and pieces.

What’s Not: Its name. The name Vanquish has come and gone a couple of times—it was first used from 2001 to 2007 and then again from 2012 to 2018. Aston built a few special editions, but this new supercar will be completely different from anything we’ve seen with the Vanquish badge.

When: 2020

How Much: $350,000 (est)

Alfa Romeo GTV

What’s New: As Alfa’s practical coupe, the GTV will have four seats and a trunk, but that’s where the practicality ends. The front-engine, rear-drive 2+2 is expected to be offered only with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive will be optional. The high-performance Quadrifoglio model will add an electric motor between the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-6 and the transmission to boost output to more than 600 hp.

What’s Not: At its core, the GTV is a Giulia coupe. Expect the same turbocharged four-cylinder base engine.

When: 2021

How Much: $45,000 (est)

Audi E-Tron GT

What’s New: Audi’s sexy E-Tron GT sedan will follow the more practical E-Tron SUV to market just a year later but with substantial differences. Electric motors front and rear combine for 590 hp, fed by a 95-kW-hr battery pack with an 800-volt charging system capable of nearly filling the battery in 20 minutes. Range is expected to be similar to the E-Tron SUV’s 204 EPA-estimated miles—but less if you test the estimated 0–60 time of under 3.5 seconds or explore the 149-mph top speed.

What’s Not: Squint a bit, and you can tell it’s a nicely rebodied Porsche Taycan.

When: 2020

How Much: $75,000 (est)

Fiat Centoventi

What’s New: The entire fully modular cheap-EV concept. An underfloor battery rack can carry up to four individual 60-mile battery packs, which can be rented when needed. A fifth optional pack slides out from under the driver’s seat for convenient indoor charging. Body panels are molded in a single color with wraps providing other colors. Further personalization is provided by five choices each of roof styles and colors, bumpers, and wheels.

What’s Not: Fiat’s lifelong mission to bring mobility to the masses, which here drives further innovations like 3-D-printable accessories that mount to a mesh grid of holes in the dash.

When: 2022

How Much: $25,000 (est)

Acura RLX

What’s New: Is bolder better? Acura has tried to answer that question over the years, with mixed results. Love it or hate it, the new RDX benefits from engaging styling borrowed from the Precision concept—and that bold crossover is setting sales records for the brand. That momentum could continue with the RLX’s replacement, a car that may adopt the Precision’s fastback shape (hello, Audi A7). With very little brand equity in the RL or RLX name, the time could be right for a (slightly) bolder flagship four-door from Acura.

What’s Not: Future Acura cabins will be influenced by the Precision Interior concept, like the RDX with its optimally placed infotainment screen and controversial touchpad controller.

When: 2021

How Much: $57,000 (est)

Karma Pininfarina GT Concept

What’s New: The Pininfarina-designed Karma concept car made its debut at the 2019 Shanghai auto show and previews the California-based automaker’s upcoming lineup. Its design language will be a departure from the Revero, but most of the fundamental engineering is unchanged. If public response goes well, the Pininfarina GT could go from one-off concept to production model.

What’s Not: Karma recently announced a partnership with BMW and will license the German automaker’s turbocharged three-cylinder engine for use as a generator in plug-in hybrid vehicles, including the next-generation Revero.

When: 2020

How Much: $100,000 (est)

2019 Cadillac CTS-V

The Car Connection Expert Review

Immense power

Supercar-like moves

Raucous exhaust note

Last-generation fit and finish

Poor crash test scores

The 2019 Cadillac CTS-V is arguably the greatest American performance sedan ever, and we will miss it dearly when it’s discontinued after 2019.

The 2019 Cadillac CTS-V is a swan song for one of the greatest American performance…

2018 Cadillac CTS V Coupe Price, Specs, Horsepower

2018 Cadillac CTS V Coupe Price, Specs, Horsepower – This high-end brand name will continue to supply this hi-performance edition of its famous middle of the sizing vehicle, and it will arrive the coming year as 2018 Cadillac CTS V. The same as other luxurious brand names, Cadillac also made the decision to offer a performance version of their versions. This version started in 2004, as a way to…

Understated Luxury: 11 Unassumingly Upmarket Vehicles

A luxury vehicle is a status symbol; it’s you telling the world you’ve made it. You have an adult job and can indulge in the finer things in life. But what if you want to do that without calling attention to yourself? Something that gives you the luxury experience but flies under the radar is what you’re looking for. For consumers who couldn’t care less what badge is on the hood but still want a luxury car, here are 11 vehicles that will pamper you while staying incognito.

Volvo S90/V90

Volvo’s midsize sedan and wagon, the S90 and V90, offer ultra-comfortable seats and an exquisitely crafted interior that epitomizes minimalist design. The S90 and V90 are tastefully styled yet avoid being overly flashy. Opt for the two-tone black and brown Nappa leather upholstery with matching matte wood trim for a truly Scandinavian look.

Lincoln Continental

The Lincoln Continental is one of a handful of recent vehicles that have made the words “American luxury” mean something again. Its interior can be dressed in colorful two-tone schemes paired with real metal and wood trim to add another layer of sophistication. For those in search of the most exclusive Continental, Lincoln has released the special Coach Door Edition, which brings back the car’s iconic suicide doors. However, that model was limited to 80 units and is now sold out.

Acura RLX

Even with its new grille and reshaped headlights and taillights, the Acura RLX is still relatively conservative-looking. Regardless of whether you opt for the standard version or the hybrid, the RLX will be subtly stylish even in the brightest of exterior colors.

Kia K900

With less than 1,000 Kia K900 luxury sedans sold last year, K900 owners belong to a pretty exclusive club—and their cars are a bargain for those in search of something luxurious yet unassuming. The second-generation model, which now comes standard with all-wheel drive, a 365-hp twin-turbo V-6, and a well-appointed interior, is a credible alternative to second-tier full-size luxury sedans like the Lexus LS.

Cadillac CT6

Cadillac’s flagship CT6 recently got a refresh, but even with angular looks, it’s easy to mistake it for something else. The similarities to the smaller ATS and CTS, both of which are being discontinued, will make onlookers think that it’s one of the CT6’s smaller stablemates. If you want power to contrast your car’s sedate looks, there’s the twin-turbocharged, 550-hp CT6-V, which should make for a fun full-size luxury rocket.

Buick Enclave Avenir

Sitting atop the Buick Enclave lineup is the Avenir model that features unique design cues like a special grille with chrome wings, unique alloy wheels, chrome window surrounds, higher-quality leather upholstery, two-tone interior themes, and wood-look accents. There are also a number of extra features like continuously controlled dampers for improved ride comfort.

Kia Cadenza

The Kia Cadenza is a classic large sedan, emphasizing ride quality above all else. Like many new-generation Kia models, its exterior is attractively restrained. In the SXL trim, the Cadenza becomes a proper luxury vehicle with a cabin upholstered in Nappa leather and other high-quality materials.

Genesis G80

Formerly known as the Hyundai Genesis, the Genesis G80 remains a solid midsize luxury sedan that offers a comfortable ride and a spacious, well-appointed interior all for less than its chief rivals. Time has been kind to the G80’s exterior design; it’s tastefully conservative, attractive, but far from plain even among its newer competitors.

Ram 1500 Limited

Yes, there is such a thing as a luxurious pickup truck, and the most obvious example is the 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. Get inside, and you’ll find an interior swathed in leather and materials that will make some models wearing more desirable badges blush. For maximum eye candy, FCA’s UConnect 4 interface comes with a massive 12.0-inch touchscreen that dominates the dash.

Acura TLX

Like the larger RLX, the Acura TLX flies under the radar even with its giant new grille and redesigned headlights. Acura’s SH-AWD system is available on V-6-powered TLXs, giving the sedan all-weather capability. The A-Spec model adds a unique front fascia, oval exhaust tips, black 19-inch wheels, and cool interior trims.

Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve

Technically a rebadged Nissan Patrol minus much of that international model’s off-road hardware, the Armada comes standard with V-8 power and is available in a trim that can rival its posh sibling, the Infiniti QX80, when it comes to luxury. The Platinum Reserve grade gets you second-row captain’s chairs, two-tone black/brown leather upholstery, open-pore wood and black Quartz trim, a grille and door handles finished in dark chrome, and 20-inch alloy wheels.

Refreshing or Revolting: 2019 Cadillac CT6-V

The Cadillac CT6 lives on despite rumors it would be cancelled. Not only that, the flagship sedan charges ahead with a “V” variant boasting a more potent 4.2-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine making 550 hp. Because of its tame exterior design, the 2019 Cadillac CT6-V is the definition of a sleeper sedan. But is that a good thing or not?

The CT6-V has a much more subtle design than the 640-hp supercharged CTS-V, which serves a different role but is pictured below for reference. The new sedan has a relatively small grille, and it also features vertical headlights that Cadillac often uses on its cars. Overall, it looks just like the regular CT6, with no visual cues hinting at its sporty intentions.

It’s the same story from the side profile. There are no bold creases or design touches, giving it a generic look from this angle. Its only distinguishing feature is a small V badge behind the front wheel. The model features standard 20-inch wheels, but they’re more elegant than athletic. The CT6-V is slightly boxier than rivals like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it’s not as angular as the mighty CTS-V, which also has a nice side vent hinting at its sporting intentions.

More V badging can be found in the rear, which continues the sleeper sedan theme. A subtle silver trim piece complements the short rear deck of the CT6-V, and the vertical taillights match the headlights. Probably the only real giveaway this model is a sports car is its dual exhaust pipes.

Inside the cabin, the CT6-V receives the latest CUE infotainment system with a 10-inch touchscreen. Drivers can also control the system via a new rotary controller on the center console. We appreciate the attractive colors and materials inside the cabin, but we still think Cadillac didn’t do enough to differentiate it from the standard CT6. Some bolstered seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel would be a good place to start.

Do you think the 2019 Cadillac CT6-V is refreshing or revolting? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook.

Pick any on this list, and you are sure of a good pick. Whether you need one for some action on the tracks or you are just a lover of muscle cars, they all fit the bill.

1. Aston Martin Vantage

The Aston Martin Vantage is recognized globally as one of the most powerful V8 gearheads. It is so fast with only a 4-liter engine having a twin-turbo arrangement. In as little as 3.6 seconds, it attains a speed of 62 mph. Its interior is sporty to match the crisp exterior. Its starting price is similar to that of the Porsche Panamera which costs $150000.

2. Lexus LC 500

Lexus which is owned by Toyota has also come up with a V8 engine.  With a 5-liter capacity, it can also fly and has proved itself severally on the road. Those willing to part with about $92000 will enjoy magnificent interior and crazy speeds of up to 68 miles per hour.  

3. Porsche Panamera

It is a perfect combination of power, effectiveness, and luxury. This car surprisingly does greater and performs better than a majority of the other 4-door V8 engine gearheads.

Though the Porsche is a bigger and weightier luxury car as compared to the others, its speed will most definitely shock everyone. A test drive revealed that it accelerates from 0-60 only in 3 seconds. Although there is the option of a V6 engine, the V8 engine promises better performance especially the V8 hybrid which guarantees efficient fuel consumption.

Be prepared to dish out big money for such a car. The version with a turbo engine has an MSRP of about $150000. For the V8 hybrid expect to pay way more than that. The Porsche Panamera is definitely worth your money.

4. Chevrolet Corvette Z06

It is an exemplary sports vehicle that has caught the attention and eyes of drivers for a long time now. It has two options for the engines, the supercharged LT4, and the LT1. Even as they are both high-performance V8s, the LT4 is much more able to perform greater and better. 650 horsepower in the LT4 is not a joke. 460 horsepower from the LT1 is quite impressive too. Z06 and ZR1s are fundamentally legal to race with on the streets.

5. BMW 8 Series

This vehicle has graced several auto shows all over the globe. Its features are very remarkable as anticipated. The new series only has one model to begin in the Us by the name M850i xDrive. Its 4,4, turbocharged V8 ensures great horsepower of 523. New interior styles have also been introduced. Its transmission is an 8-speed automatic system. In case you would like manual, I guess this car is not for you. Nevertheless, it gains from 0-60 in only 3.6 seconds as claimed by its manufacturer. Its top speed is expected to be 155 miles per hour. It is evident that it is among the best V8 muscle cars this year.

6. Cadillac CTS-V

It happens to be the fastest Cadillac in the sports car arena with 640 horsepower. According to its manufacturer which in this case is Cadillac, mentions that it can accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour only om 3.7 seconds. It has a 630 lb-ft of torque. With a contemporary and polished interior, CTS-V is perfect. It is an ideal mixture of elegance and performance, and this enables it to compete in the European market regardless of it being an American sports car. Although it looks quite the same as the regular CTS, CTS-V has some unique features. It has a clear-cut exterior thanks to the carbon fiber packages. In the interior, the Recaro seats give it an excellent look.

This rear-wheel-drive muscle car is worth it, having style and speed incorporated into it.

7. Chrysler 300C

You may think it is unworthy to appear in this list, but after reading this, you will know why it has been included here. It may not be one of the best V8 muscle cars around but not only does it have good performance but also has a standard 5.7L V8 engine.

It is fitted with a HEMI engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission system, and rear-wheel drive. However, expect to use some more money to maintain the 25 mpg highway average. This Chrysler is worth buying if you are searching for a twist of elegance without the extra expenses of having a luxury vehicle. It delivers a decent horsepower of 363.

8. Dodge Charger

This is another good V8 muscle car having been manufactured in Detroit. This gearhead is made for power even as its name suggests. The power is brought about by 8-cylinder options or even more. All its R/T models have at least a 5.7L HEMI producing 370 horsepower.

The SRT Hellcat model is 707 horsepower strong thanks to the supercharged 6.2L HEMI. You cannot beat the Hellcat on the streets unless you put too much a struggle.

This Dodge Charger happens to be one of the only American V8 Muscles with four doors. This gives it a better position over the cramped 2+2 coupes. This car is good enough for the track apart from your daily duties e,g work. It is quite flexible.

Suggested read: Thinking of getting a truck in 2019?

9. Ford Mustang GT

No one does not know this classic gearhead that has been around for quite some time now. All of its options guarantee you a proper V8 engine with a minimum of 400 horsepower. This should be enough to offer you some fun when going to work or running errands.

Still, if you are looking for track power, you’ve got Mustang Shelby GT350. It delivers 526 horsepower at 7500 Revolutions Per Minute.

This rear-wheel-drive Ford Mustang is just so worth it.

Suggested read: When should you buy a new car?

10. Chevrolet Camaro SS

The Chevy Camaro SS must come into mind whenever muscle cars are mentioned. It is worth it together with the ZL1 and the Z/28 (2014/15 model) which delivered 505 horsepower from a 7.0L V8 engine. Even as the 6.2L engine yields 455 horsepower and 4555 lb-ft of torque, the ZL1 gives an impressive 650 horsepower. The Camaro’s speed is good too, moving from 0-60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. That is good enough. Camaro has continued to prove to be among the best American muscle cars.

Suggested read: DIY tips when your vehicle doesn’t start

11. 1969-1971 Baldwin-Motion Phase III GT Corvette

This Baldwin Corvette is uniquely designed with a fastback rear window, 600 horsepower with a performance suspension. Its dyno-tuned horsepower comes from either 454 or 427 CID substantial V8 engines. However, there was one Motion Vette that was fitted with a lesser 350 CID V8. This is a compelling muscle car and its costs so much since only 12 were built within this period meaning it has to be bought from some auction for rich guys, not from a showroom.

12. 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2

It is in held in high regard as one of the best authentic muscle cars. It has a 421 cubic-inch V8 engine that churns out 338 horsepower. It hits 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds which came out in a driving test where it even beat a Ferrari on the track.

Suggested read: How to avoid ruining your everyday ride

13. 1970 Oldsmobile 442

Its name 442 comes from its arrangement of a four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual, and a double exhaust. By 1970, it was possible to get a 455 cubic-inch big-block V8 engine thanks to Oldsmobile.

14. 1969 COPO Camaro

It is a 427 big-block V8 that gives out 425 horsepower just the way a Vette does.  During this period there was also the all-aluminum ZL1 Camaro 427 V8.

15. 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S

This Mercedes gives out 627 lb-ft of torque from its 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine. The acceleration from zero to 60 miles per hour occurs in only 3.3 seconds. Its fuel economy is about 20 mpg when driving on a highway and 17-18 in mixed driving.

2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport Release Date Price

2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport Release Date, Price – The CT6 slots above the XTS and is the largest sedan of the company on offer. Designed to go against the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8, the CT6 is available with four different transmissions, including a hybrid plug-in model. Arrive 2018 and Cadillac have finally decided it’s time to offer a high-performance version of the sedan with the V-Sport badge. The new version joins similar versions of the CTS and XTS models of the brand’s V-Sport range, but benefits from a more powerful and new V8 engine.

  2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport

  Unveiled together with the simplified version of the standard CT6, the V-Sport gets all the new design features, some of which are borrowed from the Scale concept, plus some extras for sportsmanship added to the top. The new V-8 engine is possibly the most prominent of the CT6 V-Sport, since it produces more power than any other Cadillac engine to date, with the exception of the supercharged V8 on the CTS-V.

  2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport Exterior

  If you wanted to know what a powerful version of the current Cadillac CT6 looks like, you can not discover it because the V-Sport package has been added to the facelifted model. The revised CT6 takes elements of the Scale concept style and it goes without saying; It looks very different for a mid-cycle update. In the front, you can see a new grid almost identical to the Scale. All Cadillac did be add the top edge of chrome.

  The headlights are not as thin as the concept car, but they are much thinner than the old CT6 and have a more aggressive design with narrower and more angular edges. Vertical signature lights are reported with minor changes, but, because the headlights are thinner, they appear longer towards the lower deck. Another big change is that Cadillac dropped the three-piece intake design on the bumper. The side vents are now smaller and sit higher in the fascia. On the other hand, the central ventilation is larger and significantly wider, giving the V-Sport a sportier appearance.

  Model-specific enhancements include black window moldings, more muscular side skirts, and exclusive 20-inch multi-spoke wheels wrapped in performance-oriented tires. The back side benefits from the most visible updates. The first thing that stands out is the new design of the headlights. While the vertical arrangement is still there, the lamps no longer extend towards the rear window.

  2019 Cadillac CT6 Interior

  Cadillac has not published too much information about the design changes in the facelifted 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport, so it’s safe to assume that it continues with the same design and features. Unfortunately, there is no information on what the V-Sport package adds. Cadillac has thrown two interior shots, and we can see a more sporty seat design and carbon fiber trim on the dashboard, but the sedan must also have ‘V-Sport’ badges on the mats and decks. door.

  There is more important information available in the technical department, with the V-Sport using an improved infotainment system with features similar to those of the smartphone and a more intuitive interface. The 10-inch screen is operated by a new rotary controller that includes volume and looks for front / rear controls for the audio system, as well as shortcut buttons to quickly access the most used applications. Other features include a 4G LTE Internet connection, Super Cruise hands-free assistance, a five-watt wireless charging port and a multimedia information and entertainment entrance on the back with USB, HDMI, and Wi-Fi. The 2019 CT6 also received Cadillac’s second-generation rear-view mirror with frameless and zoom design.

  Like the outgoing model and the standard model, V-Sport benefits from the full range of available active safety features: frontal collision alert, lane change warning with blind zone alert, lane maintenance alert, warning cross traffic rear seat, automatic forward / backward and safety alert.

  Performance of the Cadillac CT6 V-Sports

The biggest improvement of the 2019 Cadillac CT6 line is under the hood of the V-Sport, which uses a 4.2-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. A new design, the mill uses a “V-hot” configuration, which transposes the conventional arrangement of the intake and exhaust systems of the cylinder head to mount the turbochargers on top of the engine. This virtually eliminates the turbo lag and reduces the size of the motor package.

  Production is estimated at 550 horsepower and 627 lb-ft, which is a bit surprising given that Cadillac has not surpassed the 400-horsepower mark with other models. Until the V-Sport, the most powerful CT6 was the 3.0-liter V6, with 404 horsepower and 400 pounds of torque. In comparison, the V-Sport offers 150 additional horsepower and 227 extra pounds.

  The big news is that the V-Sport is closer to the AMG versions of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class in terms of power, as it only has 53 hp and 37 lbs less than the Mercedes-AMG S63. I know it is not demanding for a party, but since Audi still does not offer an RS8 model, the V-Sport joins a very exclusive niche that includes only the AMG S63, the AMG S65, and the BMW M760Li.

  The new V-8 adapts to a 10-speed automatic transmission with narrow passages between gear ratios for optimum speed and maximum power at almost all vehicle speeds. The four-wheel-drive system is standard, as is the limited slip rear differential, which increases traction to the limit and provides more predictable performance when driving with difficulty. A specific V-Sport suspension configuration improves roll control, cornering ability, and steering response, while modified magnetic and steering suspension dampers provide more precision.

  2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport price and release date

  Cadillac has yet to announce the price of the 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport but is confident that it will become the most expensive model in the range. Since the XTS V-Sport has a $ 7,000 bonus on the Platinum model, the CT6 V-Sport, which uses a new V-8, is expected to add between $ 10,000 and $ 15,000. Platinum model With the latter at $ 85,290, the CT6 V-Sport could win close to $ 100,000 before the options. This sticker would make it more expensive than the exclusive Escalade, but even cheaper than its German competitors.

2019 Cadillac XT4 Rumor, Review And Price

New Post has been published on https://www.nsautocars.com/2019-cadillac-xt4-rumor-review-price/
