Launched in 2013 as a successor to the DTS, this large sedan with front-wheel drive, or optional all-wheel drive, uses a 3.6L V6 producing 304 horsepower and 264 lbs.-ft. mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The big news for 2014 is the availability of the Vsport version equipped with a twin turbo 3.6L V6 developing 410 horsepower and 369 lbs.-ft. of torque. The Vsport comes only in all-wheel drive versions, a wise decision.
