The Cadillac CTS is a luxurious vehicle from General Motors that was in production from 2003 to 2019 through three generations. Originally launched as a 4-door sedan on the GM Sigma platform, the CTS evolved in its later generations to include sedan, coupe, and sport wagon variants.

This move was crucial in re-establishing Cadillac's status and relevance within the luxury car market. The exterior design of the first generation CTS was created by Wayne Cherry and Kip Wasenko, showcasing Cadillac's new design language called "Art and Science," which had its roots in the Evoq concept car.
