CADILLAC will officially launch in the UK in January with fleet as its core target market. The BMW 5-series rival, called CTS, will arrive first, backed by a network of ‘experience centres’. The first will be in London’s Park Lane, with up to three more opening next year and a target of 18 in total.

The right-hand drive CTS is powered by a 2.6-litre or 3.2-litre V6 engine, with a diesel expected to join the range later.
