THE CADILLAC CT6 VS LEXUS LS
THE CADILLAC CT6 VS LEXUS LS
Everyone knows that Cadillac has been the world standard for luxury vehicles since... well, since they were first made them in 1902. For decades, many automobile manufacturers have come and gone. Many have tried to dethrone Cadillac as the standard for luxury vehicles. One of those car makers is Lexus. Lexus brings its own brand of luxury to the full sized sedan market with its very popular LS model. But how does the LS stack up to Cadillac's CT6 full sized luxury sedan? Let's find out.
POWER TO MOVE
While there are many factors that will go into choosing the vehicle that is right for you. One of the most important areas that one must consider is a vehicle's power plant. While not everyone needs an ultra fast vehicle, no one wants to go slow. Therefore, let's look at the engine options. The Lexus LS only has one engine option; the 4.6L V8, while the Cadillac CT6 has multiple options. For this comparison we will look at the Lexus LS460 AWD and the Cadillac CT6 Turbo Premium AWD.
The CT6 comes with a powerful, responsive 3.0L turbocharged V6 motor compared to the 4.6L V8 in the Lexus LS. Cadillac's power plant pumps out an impressive 404 horsepower and 400 ft-lbs of torque vs the Lexus with 360 horsepower and 347 ft-lbs of torque. Trust the Cadillac to accelerate off the line faster and merge onto the highway faster than the Lexus.
You'd think with all of that power that the Cadillac would have poor fuel economy... Not So! The Cadillac CT6 achieves an impressive 18 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway which for a vehicle of this size and power is more than respectable, especially when compared to the Lexus with 16 city MPG and 23 highway MPG.
COMFORT AND SAFETY
While power is important lets discuss what you get inside the vehicle and what it will do for you in the event of an emergency. First off the Cadillac comes standard with more front leg and head room so you'll be far more comfortable while driving. Speaking of being in the drivers seat. Cadillac comes with a cooled driver seat. A temperature controlled seat helps keep you comfortable during warmer weather. The Lexus offers it, but as an option, not a standard feature. Nor does it offer rear heated seats as a standard feature. The Cadillac CT6 is also one of the only vehicles in its class to offer 4g LTE WiFi hotspot.
While the majority of standard safety features are the same on both vehicles, the Cadillac offers optional night vision (something the Lexus does not) along with standard lane departure warning and land keep assist.
VALUE AND LUXURY
You'd think that with everything you get with the Cadillac CT6 that it would be astronomically more expensive than the Lexus, but not so. In fact when comparing the Lexus LS AWD and Cadillac CT6 Turbo Premium AWD, the Cadillac comes in several thousand dollars less based on MSRP.
So if you're looking for a luxury vehicle to get you places in comfort and style, and do it quickly then the Cadillac CT6 is your vehicle.
