How it scores for you10 scores
Limousine space and early Super Cruise for far less than German flagships, but 10-speed wheel-lockup complaints and brutal depreciation demand caution.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 8 recalls were serious. About 4% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -6 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,600 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 52% of cars we track.
15.3 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 53% of other sedans we track.
3,100-mm wheelbase delivers limousine-grade rear legroom and a wide cabin.
Surprisingly agile for a full-size sedan thanks to light construction and available magnetic ride.
Debuted Super Cruise hands-free driving in 2018 - a genuine first - atop a decent CUE-evolution suite.
Quiet, supple flagship ride with excellent seats; near-German serenity for less money.
Luxury brands like Cadillac tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
