Somehow the description “cargo ready body style” does not seem appropriate when talking about a Cadillac, with the exception of the Escalade.
However, in the case of the 2014 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, it is all but a moot point given its sleek style.
The amenities that Cadillac is known for are evident, including leather upholstery and an available UltraView sunroof.

Engine & Performance
The 2014 CTS Sport Wagon comes with a 3.0 liter Direct Injection V6 engine that is capable of generating 270 horsepower.
This engine is mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission that sends the power to the rear wheels unless you opt for the all wheel drive (AWD) version. The auto transmission has Driver Shift Control which allows you to manually shift without the use of a clutch.
Exterior
The CTS Sport Wagon has a wide stance that creates a balance in increased road responsiveness.
Three trim levels are available, with those being Luxury, Performance and Premium.
The detailed styling is obvious through the unique roofline, unusual edges and its angular profile. The LED taillights are positioned vertically, extending from the rear bumper up to the top of the rear window. The light pipe technology illuminates the wagons rear efficiently.
Interior
It is obvious inside the new Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon that the driver’s compartment was designed with ease of use in mind. Every required touch point is ergonomically positioned within the reach of the driver.
The high performance gauges are reminiscent of those found on an elite motorcycle than a luxury vehicle, but they fit the instrumentation panel nicely.
An 8 inch diagonal glide up navigational screen is offered that also allows you to control a 10 speaker Bose surround sound audio system.
On an evening ride, the ambient interior lighting is perfect, as it glows off the polished metal surrounds and French stitching on the leather seats.
With the rear seats folded, you get 58 cubic feet of stowing space. You also have a power lift gate, making access simple. A memory function is available allows you to adjust the height for the seats.
The 2014 CTS Sport Wagon’s starting MSRP is $42,195, and you can build your own version through options based on you preferences.
