Is the loud starting sound of Cadillac CT6 normal?
2 Answers
It is normal for the Cadillac CT6 to produce a loud sound when starting, as it is the sound of the engine idling during warm-up. Cold starts generally result in louder sounds. The Cadillac CT6 is equipped with either a 2.0T or 3.0T engine, paired with a newly developed 8AT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 400 horsepower and a maximum torque of 543 Nm, making it a high-end luxury sedan. The Cadillac CT6 features a flatter, more layered shield-shaped grille, with body dimensions of 5184mm in length, 1879mm in width, and 1472mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3109mm. In terms of configuration, the Cadillac CT6 utilizes a streaming media rearview mirror technology, where an external rearview camera captures the rear view and projects it onto the interior rearview mirror, expanding the rear visibility range by three times.
I've been driving my Cadillac CT6 for over five years, and the startup noise is indeed quite loud, especially in cold weather. The engine revs a bit higher to quickly warm up the oil and components, which makes the sound more noticeable. This is a normal design feature—American cars prioritize strong engine performance. I was curious when I first bought it and asked the technicians at the dealership. They said unless there's harsh noise or engine shaking, there's no need to worry. Just remember to change the oil and air filter regularly to reduce unnecessary noise. When driving, you'll notice the sound quiets down once the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Drive with peace of mind—it's part of the car's character, not a real issue, so no need to fuss over unnecessary repairs.
