How It Got Its Score: The 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon with the 3.6-liter V-6 and all-wheel drive is a credible alternative to luxury crossovers, offering decent fuel economy and a big cargo area.
Like its sedan counterpart, the all-wheel drive 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 3.6 offers the same fuel economy as the rear-wheel drive version and only a modest (relatively speaking) bump in price, so it winds up with the same Family Friendliness score. There's a lot here to like, too. The cargo space in the wagon is 25.0 cu.-ft., and it can expand to 53.4 cu.-ft. when the rear seats are folded. Throw in all-wheel drive and you have a credible alternative to many luxury crossovers, and it's certainly the equal of smaller rivals such as the Audi A4 Avant. We think that the wagon is a great looking car, too, with lines that rival the already sexy sedan. Fuel economy is pretty good for an all-wheel drive car with a big V-6, and we think that it definitely deserves a look from luxury wagon shoppers.
