Cadillac BLS Saloon 2.0T 210 Elegance 4dr

For The 207bhp turbo petrol engine is quick and the car is well equipped, with alloys, heated leather seats, cruise control, climate control and Bluetooth telephone preparation.

Against Its CO2 emissions and fuel economy mean running costs will be high, and it still isn’t that exciting to drive. Residuals are likely to be among the class worst.

What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

You won’t be disappointed with its straight-line performance or equipment - or, probably, its individuality. You might be by its handling and running costs, however.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The BLS is basically a rebodied version of the Saab 9-3, and the two cars share the same engines. So, in the Cadillac, as in the Saab, it's a diesel engine that makes the best buy thanks to its strong pull, good economy and low company car tax bills.

Perhaps the most difficult problem to overcome when looking to buy a Cadillac is the very limited number of dealers in the UK, which are concentrated in the major cities.

One of the cars' major attractions is its distinctive looks, and you can make it all the more distinctive by picking something from the accessories range. This includes interior and exterior styling add-ons, as well as more practical items, such as roof rails and tow bars.
