• Rear-Wheel Drives are less expensive to maintain, have good handling in dry conditions, are more fuel-efficient, and make towing easier because the wheels that shoulder the pulling are closer to the load.
• All-Wheel Drives give you better traction under inclement weather, such as rain, and on slippery surfaces, such as mud, ice, or snow, making them excellent for off-road recreation.
As shown in the following descriptions, all Cadillac models have all-wheel drive but only on specific trim levels.
