Does Cadillac Have Manual Transmission Models?
2 Answers
Cadillac does not offer manual transmission models. Taking the Cadillac XT5 as an example, here is the detailed introduction of the Cadillac XT5: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Cadillac XT5 is positioned as a midsize SUV, featuring vertical-strip-shaped front and rear light clusters. 2. Configuration: The top trim comes with an 8-inch color instrument panel, while the standard version includes an 8-inch touchscreen, with features leaning towards mid-to-high trims, such as GPS navigation, traffic information display, car networking, and OTA upgrades. 3. Powertrain: The Cadillac XT5 is equipped with a 2.0T high-performance engine across all trims, delivering a maximum power of 174kw (237ps) and a peak torque of 350nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've actually looked into this. Cadillac did have manual transmission models, but they're all older models from over a decade ago. For example, the CTS-V series from 2007 to 2015 came with a 6-speed manual option back then, specifically to compete with European performance cars - manual transmissions were highly prized by car enthusiasts at that time. However, all current Cadillac models come with automatic transmissions and 10-speed gearboxes, since luxury car buyers prioritize comfort nowadays. Last week at the used car market, I saw a 2009 manual CTS-V with the owner asking for 300,000 yuan - the gearshift knob was literally polished smooth from use. Honestly, if you're buying new, don't bother looking for manuals anymore. But for nostalgic enthusiasts, you can still hunt for older performance models in the used car market.
