Cadillac previews CT6 interior ahead of New York debut
Cadillac has released an early look at the CT6 flagship’s cabin, highlighting a 34-speaker Bose Panaray audio system ahead of its 2015 New York Auto Show reveal.
Cadillac has given an early look at the interior of its upcoming CT6 saloon, ahead of the car’s official unveiling at the 2015 New York Auto Show. The preview image and details focus on the flagship’s cabin technology, with special attention on a new Bose Panaray audio system featuring 34 speakers.
Focus on in-car audio technology
The cabin preview centres on the Bose Panaray system, which Cadillac describes as its most advanced in-car audio yet. The system uses 34 speakers, most under four inches in diameter, distributed throughout the interior to deliver surround sound. Cadillac claims this approach provides deep bass and clarity, with the speaker layout tailored specifically for the CT6’s cabin dimensions.
Buyers will also have the choice of less complex Bose systems, with eight or ten speakers, for those who prefer a simpler setup or want to avoid the extra cost. All audio options are supplied by Bose, continuing the company’s long-standing partnership with Cadillac.
Cabin design and technology
Alongside the audio system, the CT6’s interior is expected to showcase Cadillac’s latest design direction for its flagship. While the preview image focuses on the dashboard and speaker placement, the company is positioning the CT6 to compete with established premium saloons by combining high-end materials, advanced infotainment and a suite of comfort features. Full details on trim, technology and materials are set for release at the New York show.
Powertrain and launch details
The CT6 will be powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, which Cadillac says will produce up to 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The engine will feature cylinder deactivation and stop/start technology, paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The car’s public debut is scheduled for 1 April 2015 at the New York Auto Show, where Cadillac will confirm further technical and equipment details.
The CT6 is positioned as Cadillac’s new flagship saloon, aiming to challenge European rivals in the premium segment. Its focus on in-cabin technology and luxury features is intended to raise the brand’s profile in global markets.
