Cadillac CT4 Luxury Sedan: first time in the Middle East

Ever fancied a luxury Sedan for your night time Emirati drives? We just might have what you’re looking for. For the first time ever, Cadillac has introduced the CT4 to the Middle East, and we’ve gotta say, this one really oozes elegance and class.

With 12 options on a wide-ranging spectrum of decadent colours, you’re really spoiled for choice. Still want Deadpool on your bonnet? No problem. Search through our foiling options and we’ll get you to the right palace for a quality custom job.

You can also choose from 8 colour, material and trim interior combinations to really stand out from the crowd.

Built for athleticism

The CT4’s sleek profile leverages off the natural, long dash-to-front-axle proportional advantage of the RWD platform. This, along with its wide stance, is an expression of presence, confidence and performance.

You can distinguish the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims from the Sport model by the exterior Accenture; bright for the former, dark on the latter.

The Sport also rocks awe-tastic performance-inspired details, including unique grilles, fascias, rocker extensions, a rear spoiler and exclusive performance design wheels.

All models come tricked out with LED exterior lighting from head to tail lamps, and Cadillac’s signature vertical lights on all four corners.

The art of equilibrium

With Cadillac’s award-winning RWD sedan architecture, equilibrium is the name of the game. Benefit from its near-perfect weight distribution for an effortless and responsive driving experience.

And save your bum the enduring pain of striking a hump with Cadi’s signature double-pivot MacPherson-type front suspension (with dual lower ball joints), designed to improve road isolation and driver feedback.

Additional highlights on the chassis and driving dynamics:

• Bosch premium electric, rack-mounted power steering system.
• Capable, precise and more-dependable eBoost brakes with patented Duralife coated rotors.
• Brembo front brakes standard on Sport.
• ZF MVS (Multi-Valve System) passive dampers.

Standard Continental self-sealing tires on the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims are a segment-first and contribute further to the CT4’s balance in all conditions.

Ride out your puncture with these and the standard run-flat tires (available on the Sport), and get to a trusted garage near you using Mikaniki’s platform.

My Mode

Brave sandstorms or engage cruise control aboard the CT4 with a selection of 4 standard modes: Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice and Track.

Don’t stop there. You can alter calibrations for transmission shifting, suspension, steering and brake feel, front/rear torque split (with AWD), vehicle sound character and other vehicle attributes with the new My Mode feature.

First-of-its-kind 2.7L Dual-Volute engine on Premium Luxury

When it comes to turbocharging proficiency for a spirited performance, Cadillac’s got a proven track record, which won’t stop at the CT4.

With a 2.0L Twin Scroll Turbo engine, 3-step sliding camshaft technology, Active Fuel Management and automatic stop/start, you’ve got yourself a modest 237 horses and 258 lb-ft of torque, mated to a sophisticated eight-speed automatic transmission.

If you want a little more power over this, go for the Premium Luxury trim. You’ll benefit from a segment-first 2.7L Dual-Volute Turbo engine, delivering around 309 hp and 348 lb-ft of torque mated with an exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Precision Shift.

Additional technologies include:

• Active Thermal Management, which uses targeted engine heating and cooling to improve performance in both high and low temperatures.
• An integrated exhaust manifold, which recovers heat for faster engine and transmission warm-up, along with quicker turbo response.
• An efficient electric water pump enables continual cabin heating, even when the engine is off during stop/start events.
• Tandem solenoid starter enables a faster response from a stop/start event and a smoother drive-away (kids don’t use this as an excuse to steal the family car for a night out).

An immaculate synergy with today’s drivers

It’s a coming together of all the elements that create the allure of a highly sophisticated and transient piece of machinery.

With intuitive controls and multiple touchpoints, you can benefit from a highly tactile cabin, perfect for destressing.

The sophistication is further elaborated with the use of metallic accents that accentuate a stunning, tech-driven decor.

Stay connected with a centre-mounted 8-inch touch screen, that fits seamlessly into the rest of the interior design, juxtaposing prominence with subtlety.

The CT4 remains refined with a host of standard comfort and convenience features that emphasise Cadillac’s attention to detail, such as:

• Keyless entry and push-to-start.
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel (heated steering wheel is standard).
• Full-colour dual-display driver information center.
• HD Rear Vision Camera.
• LED interior lighting with stealth mode.
• Dual-zone automatic climate control with a humidity sensor, dust/particulate filter and rear-seat vents.
• Premium audio system with Active Noise Cancellation.

Al Ghandi Auto’s asking price of AED 162,500 may well be worth it for this beauty.
