You’ll love driving the 2020 Cadillac CT6, with its spacious, feature-filled cabin and powerful V6 or V8 engine that offers a smooth ride. The 2020 Genesis G90 is a contender to compare, but pricing may make your choice. Let Reliable Cadillac help you take a closer look at both.
Design
The 2020 Cadillac CT6’s striking exterior, with an aluminum structure and signature headlamps is unmistakably Cadillac.

It also features 14-way power-adjustable front seats, memory settings for the driver’s seat, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Its wide trunk opening makes it easy to stow larger items in its 15.8 cubic feet of trunk space.
The 2020 Genesis G90 and the Cadillac CT6 share some strengths, including spacious seating and a balanced ride with great handling capability.
