Cadillac is making no small deal ahead of the 2013 Cadillac ATS’ arrival, insisting that the car has been tuned with German inspiration, but until the 2013 Cadillac XTS and 2013 Cadillac ATS go on sale, the CTS remains. The CTS has received a reputation as a gallant looker, but one bested by the competition. Enter the Touring Package, available on the sedan, coupe or wagon. The Touring Package will offer many of the V-series features, now to be available on the regular CTS, which will help the Caddy compete with competitors such as the Infiniti G37 and BMW 335i. Two Touring Packages are available, based on the two available 3.0-liter and 3.6-liter V-6 engines.
Features included in the new kits include: Recaro seats; microfiber suede inserts on the seats and steering wheel; a sport-tuned suspension; a V-series spoiler; and 18-inch or 19-inch fancy wheels depending on the package, which range between $2,065 on the 3.0-liter engine and $2,810 on the 3.6-liter. Also new for the 2012 CTS are standard Bluetooth connectivity, and optional rain-sensing windshield wipers and a blind spot assist feature. Three new colors have also been added, Opulent Black Metallic; Black Diamond Tri-Coat and Mocha Steel Metallic.
