What Changed

Cadillac makes another attempt at the entry-level luxury segment this year with the introduction of the Catera. Catera is built in Germany off of a successful Opel platform. All Cateras are equipped with a 200 hp, DOHC, 3-liter V-6 engine. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and traction control are standard on the Catera. In addition to driver and passenger frontal airbags, there are door airbags available in the spring of 97.
