In September 2007, the second generation (internal type designation GMX322) was launched on the US market and was formally shown for the first time at the North American International Auto Show ( NAIAS ) in the spring of the same year.

In the second generation, the 2.8-liter engine was only offered on export markets. The new top-of-the-range engine was now a 3.6-liter V6 engine with direct gasoline injection that developed 229 kW (311 hp). A 2.9-liter V6 turbodiesel engine that was first announced and which was supposed to produce a maximum of 184 kW did not appear.

The power is transmitted either via a six-speed gearbox or the six-speed automatic gearbox GM Hydra-Matic 6L50. In conjunction with the latter, the CTS was also available with all-wheel drive for the first time .

The all-wheel drive is electronically controlled and normally works with a power distribution of 2: 3 between the front and rear axles. If a wheel slips, this is counteracted automatically by directing up to 75% of the drive force to the rear axle or all drive force to the front axle. The rear axle has a mechanically controlled limited slip differential that automatically supplies up to 80% of the drive force to the wheel with the better traction.

The c W value is 0.33.

Optional equipment of CTS also includes a CD / DVD / HDD / MP3 / satellite navigation radio with a 40 gigabyte - hard drive and an 8-inch TFT - flat panel display with touch-screen function.

In 2012, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, 48 Cadillac CTS were newly registered in Germany, 38 of them by commercial owners.

Cadillac CTS in the film

In the film Matrix Reloaded , the main characters Morpheus, Trinity and the key maker use a silver Cadillac CTS during a chase. At the end of the hunt, however, the CTS is just junk. A CTS suffered almost the same fate "on a test drive" in the film Bad Boys II , where it ends up being demolished and shot to pieces in the counter hall of a bank. In the TV series Burn Notice , Sam Ax, one of the main characters, drives a Cadillac CTS. Katherine Mayfair drove a red Cadillac CTS in the fourth season of Desperate Housewives until the tornado. In Hit and Run with Dax Shepard and Bradley Cooper , a red CTS-V Sport Wagon is used as the chase vehicle.
