Exciting Features for the V-Series

It takes more than a powerful engine to produce the kind of ride that the V-Series offers. Cadillac has loaded their models with some of the latest innovations to enhance performance. For instance, Magnetic Ride Control can read the road up to 1000 times per second to adjust quickly for agility and precise handing.

An electronic limited-slip differential directs torque to the rear wheel that has the best traction without driver input. You also have multiple drive modes, including V-Mode, which is a customizable performance mode. Other modes include Track, Snow/Ice, Tour, Sport, and My Mode.

You’ll know a V-Series model when you see it with the badging. These models have colored brake calipers that command attention and Brembo Performance Brakes for greater stopping power.
