The first-generation CT6 is built on a different platform than the smaller CTS and is engineered as a rear-wheel drive vehicle with optional all-wheel drive. In addition to its primary markets of North America and China, the CT6 was also offered in Europe, South Korea, Japan, and the Middle East.{{cite web|url=http://media.cadillaceurope.com/media/intl/en/cadillac/vehicles/2016-ct6/2016.html|title=Cadillac Pressroom - Europe - CT6|access-date=2016-11-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104011220/http://media.cadillaceurope.com/media/intl/en/cadillac/vehicles/2016-ct6/2016.html|archive-date=2016-11-04|url-status=dead}}

General Motors discontinued the assembly of the Cadillac CT6 in the US in February 2020 due to poor sales and retooling of the Detroit/Hamtramck facility for electric vehicle production, beginning with the new GMC Hummer EV.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/25/cadillac-expects-record-global-sales-in-2020-flagship-ct6-sedan-dead.html|title=Cadillac expects record global sales in 2020 – CT6 sedan officially dead|last=Wayland|first=Michael|date=2020-01-25|website=CNBC|language=en|access-date=2020-03-07}}

The CT6 is longer and wider than the XTS and offers more interior volume. It uses a mix of steel and aluminum, making it lighter than other cars in its size class. It was brought to market initially as an addition to, not a replacement for, the XTS, which has since been discontinued. Cadillac anticipated the CT6 would serve as a temporary flagship for the marque until a larger, more luxurious sedan would be marketed as the CT8.{{cite web|title=Cadillac CT8 Will be the Brand's First True Flagship in the Modern Era|url=http://www.automobilemag.com/features/magazine/1508-cadillac-ct8-will-be-the-brands-first-true-flagship-in-modern-era/| website=Automobile|date=19 June 2015|access-date=6 February 2016|archive-date=23 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160223021533/http://www.automobilemag.com/features/magazine/1508-cadillac-ct8-will-be-the-brands-first-true-flagship-in-modern-era/|url-status=dead}} However, the CT8 did not come to fruition, and the CT6 remained the brand's flagship sedan.{{cite web|title=Cadillac Kills CT8 Project|url=http://www.autotalk.com/cadillac-reported-kills-ct8-project-32949/| website=Automobile|date=5 April 2016|access-date=6 April 2016}}

For the American market, the CT6 was manufactured at GM's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant. On March 11, 2016, the first CT6 delivery took place, having been delivered to the winner of a 2015 auction for the first CT6 sold. The vehicle sold for $200,000 at the auction. The car was "Platinum" trim level and painted Stellar Black Metallic.{{cite news |last=Szymkowski | first = Sean |title=First Production 2016 Cadillac CT6 Leaves Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly |work=GM Authority |publisher=Motrolix LLC. |date=11 March 2016 |access-date=12 March 2016 |url=http://gmauthority.com/blog/2016/03/first-production-2016-cadillac-ct6-leaves-detroit-hamtramck-assembly/}}

The CT6 was offered in four trim levels: standard, Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Platinum.{{cite web |url=https://cdn.dealereprocess.org/cdn/brochures/cadillac/2017-ct6.pdf |title=CT6 (sales brochure) |date=2017 |publisher=Cadillac |access-date=16 September 2024}}{{cite web |url=https://www.cadillac.com/content/dam/cadillac/na/us/english/index/downloads/vehiclebrochures/brochures/2018/2018-cad-ct6-brochure-r1.pdf |title=CT6 (sales brochure) |date=2018 |publisher=Cadillac |access-date=16 September 2024}} For the 2019 model year, the base (standard) trim was renamed Luxury, and a Sport trim was added, along with the CT6-V.{{cite web |url=https://www.cadillac.com/content/dam/cadillac/na/us/english/index/downloads/vehiclebrochures/brochures/2019/19_CAD_CT6_CT6-V_50999.pdf.pdf |title=CT6 and CT6-V (sales brochure) |date=2019 |publisher=Cadillac |access-date=16 September 2024}} There were nine exterior colors offered for the first year, and nine different interior packages, all featuring leather seats, with two reserved for the Platinum trim.

Standard CT6 features include the second generation CUE system, 4G LTE connectivity, and a Bose audio system: base models were equipped with an 8-speaker Bose system, which was upgraded to a Bose Centerpoint 10 speaker system included with the "Luxury" and "Premium Luxury" package, or a 34-speaker Bose Panaray audio system included with the top level "Platinum" package. Cadillac once again offers the Enhanced Night Vision which previously had been discontinued in 2004 with the DeVille. Available equipment includes Adaptive Cruise Control, as well as Magnetic Ride Control coupled with accident avoidance technologies. New with the CT6 is the Rear Camera Mirror, which uses streaming video from a camera that displays within the rear view mirror, which provides an enhanced view without obstructions from the "C-pillar" and passengers sitting in the rear area.{{cite web|title=Cadillac CT6 Getting Streaming-Video Rearview Mirror Cam|url=http://uk.pcmag.com/cars-products/38444/news/cadillac-ct6-getting-streaming-video-rearview-mirr|last=Mlot|first=Stephanie|website=PC Magazine|date=22 December 2014|access-date=13 January 2015}}{{cite web|title=Put blind spots in the rearview with this high-tech car|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2014/12/18/cadillac-ct6-aims-to-eliminate-the-blind-spot.html|last=LeBeau|first=Phil|website=CNBC|date=18 December 2014|access-date=13 January 2015}}{{cite web|title=Cadillac CT6 Interior Rearview Mirror to Stream Video|url=http://wardsauto.com/vehicles-technology/cadillac-ct6-interior-rearview-mirror-stream-video|last=Amend|first=James M.|website=WardsAuto|date=18 December 2014|access-date=13 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141230010527/http://wardsauto.com/vehicles-technology/cadillac-ct6-interior-rearview-mirror-stream-video|archive-date=2014-12-30|url-status=dead}} The front seats can be adjusted 14 different ways, with an optional 16- or 20-way adjustment package that includes heated and cooled seat with a massage feature for both front and rear passengers. Another option package provides rear seat passengers with retractable 10" LCD screens that rise out from the back of the front seat seatbacks, behind the front seat headrests; these monitors can play Blu-ray content from user-supplied portable devices, and were introduced on the Cadillac Escala concept car.{{cite web |url=https://cdn.dealereprocess.org/cdn/brochures/cadillac/2016-ct6.pdf |title=CT6: The prestige sedan has been reinvented [sales brochure] |publisher=Cadillac |date=2016 |access-date=16 September 2024}}

GM's advanced driver-assistance system, branded SuperCruise, was released exclusively with the CT6 in early 2018. Initial reviews of the system were positive.{{cite news |url=https://www.thedrive.com/tech/17083/the-battle-for-best-semi-autonomous-system-tesla-autopilot-vs-gm-supercruise-head-to-head |title=The Battle for Best Semi-Autonomous System: Tesla Autopilot Vs.

In November 2018, GM announced the Hamtramck plant would be retooled for electric vehicle assembly, and production of the CT6 in the United States was discontinued in February 2020, although the model continued to be produced and sold in China by the SAIC-GM joint venture near Shanghai.{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32722764/cadillac-ct6-discontinued-model-sales/ |title=Cadillac's CT6 Sedan Is out of Production, but Buyers Can Still Find a Few |last=Joseph | first = Noah |date=June 1, 2020 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=10 July 2023}} In March 2020, Cadillac announced a new battery-electric liftback sedan, marketed as the Celestiq, would replace the CT6 as the Cadillac flagship in North America.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1063056_cadillac-celestiq-true-flagship-sedan-finally-happening-and-it-will-be-electric|title=Cadillac Celestiq: True flagship sedan finally happening–and it will be electric|website=Motor Authority|date=5 March 2020 |language=en|access-date=2020-03-06}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/cadillac-celestiq-electric-sedan-will-be-hand-built-2020-3|title=GM just revealed the Celestiq — an all-electric flagship Cadillac sedan that will be built by hand|last=DeBord|first=Matthew|website=Business Insider|access-date=2020-03-06}}

A Voltec-based hybrid model was added for the 2017 model year, supplementing the 2.0 L LTG turbo-four with two electric traction motor/generators. It was discontinued after the 2018 model year.

The 4.2-liter twin-turbo 'Blackwing' V8 engine was made available for the 2019 and 2020 models making {{cvt|550|hp|kW|0}} for the CT6-V model and {{cvt|500|hp|kW|0}} for other models with the Platinum trim.

It reportedly cost GM about $20,000 each to produce this engine. Production of the 4.2TT Blackwing models were limited with CT6-V totals of 504 (2019) and 411 (2020) while the Platinum totals were 168 (2019) and 117 (2020). Badging for the 2019 and 2020 CT6-V is the stylized Cadillac "V" on the trunk while the Platinum trunk badging is 4.2TT for 2019 models and 800T for 2020 models.

The CT6 line comes with one of three audio systems designed by Bose Corporation: an 8-speaker Bose Premium Sound System, a 10-speaker Bose Centerpoint Surround-Sound System,{{cite web|url=http://www.cadillac.com/sedans/ct6-sedan/trims|title=2018 CT6 Sedan - Compare Trims {{!}} Cadillac|website=www.cadillac.com|language=en|access-date=2018-04-06}} or the top-of-the-line 34-speaker Bose Panaray Surround-Sound System, which processes stereo audio into Surround Sound using Bose's automotive sound system technologies, as well as technologies from its Panaray line of professional speakers; typical Dolby or DTS surround modes are not available. The Panaray name is a portmanteau of "panoramic" and "array"; the system consists of 34 speakers mounted in 19 separate locations in the car, including ones mounted in the front seat headrests, as well as a motorized center-channel speaker that rises from the center of the instrument panel. During the development process, one of the prototypes presented by Bose called for 49 speakers.{{cite news |url=https://www.motortrend.com/features/roar-of-34-bose-develops-a-high-end-sound-system-for-the-cadillac-ct6/ |title=Roar of 34: Bose Develops a High-End Sound System for the Cadillac CT6 |first1=Patrick M. |last1=Hoey |first2=Jake |last2=Holmes |date=May 17, 2016 |work=Motor Trend |access-date=16 September 2024}} Most of the drivers are less than {{cvt|4|in|mm}} in diameter;{{cite press release |url=https://www.bose.com/pressroom/bose-introduces-first-of-its-kind-panaray |title=Bose introduces first-of-its-kind Panaray® sound system for the 2016 Cadillac CT6 |date=March 26, 2015 |publisher=Bose Corporation |access-date=16 September 2024}} there are four amplifiers, with a combined output of 570 watts.{{cite news |url=https://www.wardsauto.com/audi/four-amps-34-speakers-drive-bose-panaray |title=Four Amps, 34 Speakers Drive Bose Panaray |first=Tom |last=Murphy |date=April 21, 2016 |work=Wards Auto |access-date=16 September 2024}} In a review, Car and Driver called it "powerful and sure to dazzle neophytes" but added it was "lacking in detail and separation compared with the best in-car audio".{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15346624/the-cadillac-of-audio/ |title=The Cadillac of Audio: We Review the CT6's 34-Speaker Bose Panaray Audio System |first=Jeff |last=Sabatini |date=July 14, 2016 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=16 September 2024}}

The CT6 uses a digital display embedded in the interior rear-view mirror showing output from the rear-view camera, which allows the driver to easily see what is behind them.

Starting in 2017, GM Super Cruise became available for semi-autonomous highway driving. It is part of a US$5,000 option package on CT6's Premium Luxury model and is standard on the top-of-the-line Platinum. Super Cruise sensors include an array of exterior cameras to detect lane markings and provide a 360-degree view of the vehicle's surroundings, a high-accuracy global positioning system receiver, and a driver-facing camera with infrared emitters to monitor driver engagement. The system was designed to operate in a geofenced area, which initially consisted of {{cvt|160000|mi}} of limited-access roads that Ushr, Inc. had mapped for GM with LIDAR.{{cite magazine |url=https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/cadillac-ct6-super-cruise-review-hands-free-not-eyes-free.html |title=If My Robot Cadillac Had Let Me, I Would Have Written This Whole Article on I-95 |first=Jake |last=Swearingen |date=October 3, 2017 |magazine=New York |access-date=16 September 2024}}{{cite news |url=https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2018-cadillac-ct6-super-cruise-review/ |title=2018 Cadillac CT6 Super Cruise: Can the Car Really Drive Itself? |first=Patrick |last=Hong |date=May 2, 2018 |work=Motor Trend |access-date=16 September 2024}}

To engage Super Cruise, the driver must first engage the Adaptive Cruise Control system in the CT6. Once the system has satisfied the prerequisites (visible lane markings, driver paying sufficient attention, driving on a limited-access freeway, no system faults), a white steering wheel icon will illuminate in the upper right corner of the speedometer display to alert the driver that Super Cruise is available. If the Teen Driver mode is active or Forward Automatic Braking is off, Super Cruise is not available. Engaging the Super Cruise button will turn that icon green, indicating that Super Cruise is active. In addition, the "steering wheel light bar" on the upper rim of the steering wheel will illuminate in green.{{cite web |url=https://www.cadillac.com/content/dam/cadillac/na/us/english/index/ownership/technology/supercruise/pdfs/2019-cad-ct6-supercruise-personalization.pdf |title=CT6 SUPER CRUISE™ Convenience & Personalization Guide |date=2019 |publisher=Cadillac |access-date=16 September 2024}}{{rp|4}} If the light bar and speedometer indicator is blue, that indicates the system has detected manual steering. These also are used to alert the driver when the system decides the driver is not paying attention: first flashing the light bar in green as a first warning, then progressing to flashing red and changing the dashboard indicator to red for the second and third warnings when the driver needs to take control immediately.{{rp|5}}

Introduced as a high-performance version of the CT6, the CT6-V (formerly known as the V-Sport){{Cite news|url=http://www.thedrive.com/news/23740/the-cadillac-ct6-v-sport-is-now-the-ct6-v|title=The Cadillac CT6 V-Sport Is Now the CT6-V|last=Brandt|first=Eric|work=The Drive|access-date=2018-11-07|language=en-US}} was first revealed at the 2018 New York Auto Show. Powertrain improvements over the regular CT6 include a newly developed DOHC twin-turbocharged, hot vee V8, code-named Blackwing, which produces {{cvt|550|hp|kW PS|0}} at 5,700 rpm and {{cvt|640|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque between 3,200 rpm and 4,000 rpm. This engine has an {{cvt|86.0|mm|in|2}} bore and {{cvt|90.2|mm|in|2}} stroke with a compression ratio of 9.8:1. In order to withstand the stress of a high-performance engine and reduce internal friction, Cadillac has used forged steel connecting rods and a special coating for piston pins. To improve efficiency, Cadillac employed cylinder deactivation on cylinders 2, 3, 5, and 8 while variable timing was used on all four camshafts (which can adjust 55 degrees on the exhaust and 70 degrees on the intake). When the engine is off, the intake cams are parked in the middle of their travel, preventing exhaust/intake valve overlap to allow for easier starting and smoother initial idle. Fuel is injected directly into the cylinder at over {{cvt|5,000|psi}} of pressure. Cast stainless steel exhaust manifolds incorporate the housing within the engine bank for the twin-scroll Mitsubishi Heavy Industries turbochargers, mounted between cylinder banks in a hot vee configuration,{{cite web|title=Cadillac Won't Be Using the Blackwing V8 Anymore and That's a Shame|first=Chris | last = Tsui|website=The Drive|date=February 11, 2020|url=https://www.thedrive.com/news/32154/cadillac-wont-be-using-the-blackwing-v-8-anymore-and-thats-a-shame}} to allow for better response. Titanium aluminide turbine wheels spin up to 190,000 rpm, producing peak boost of {{cvt|20|psi}} which is relieved by electric wastegates. The intercooler is mounted just above each cylinder head, which reduces the charge air temperature by approximately {{convert|130|F|C}} before reaching the engine intake.

The engines were hand-assembled and personally signed at the Bowling Green plant in Kentucky where each Chevrolet Corvette is also assembled. The engines are mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, which uses Performance Algorithm Shift programming to achieve the ideal shifting patterns. The CT6-V also features an AWD system with optimized transfer case, rear steering, and mechanical Limited Slip Differential (LSD).{{Cite news|url=http://www.motortrend.com/cars/cadillac/ct6/2019/2019-cadillac-ct6-v-sport-twin-turbo-v8-first-look-review/|title=2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport Twin Turbo V-8 First Look: Northstar 2.0 - Motor Trend|date=2018-03-21|work=Motor Trend|access-date=2018-04-01|language=en-US}} The AWD system will adjust according to the three different driving modes available. The standard torque bias remains 40:60 front to rear, but will adjust to a torque split of 10:90 for optimized track performance with minimum understeer. Furthermore, the front end and rear end are redesigned; the front features a new hood, headlamps, and grille while the rear features a new deck lid and tail lamps. The chassis is recalibrated with specific stabilizer bars, springs, and Magnetic Ride dampers.{{Cite news|url=https://www.tflcar.com/2018/03/2019-cadillac-ct6-v-sport/|title=2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport Features Brand's First Engine Since Northstar, Plus More Performance Upgrades [Video] |date=2018-03-29|work=The Fast Lane Car|access-date=2018-04-01|language=en-US}}
