==Fourth generation== Starting with the 2016 Cadillac models, a new generation of High Feature V6s were developed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.cadillac.com/media/us/en/cadillac/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2015/mar/0320-cadillac/0320-cadillac-36l.html|access-date=5 April 2015|title=All-New, Advanced 3.6L V-6 to Drive Cadillac CT6|date=20 March 2015}}</ref> These new engines have redesigned block architectures with bore centers increased from {{convert|103|mm|in|abbr=on|sigfig=4}} on prior HFV6 engines to {{convert|106|mm|in|abbr=on|sigfig=4}} and a redesigned cooling system to target the hottest areas while also facilitating faster warm-up. They also incorporate engine start-stop technology, cylinder-deactivation, 2-stage oil pumps, and updated variable valve timing featuring intermediate park technology for late-intake valve closure. Both engines debuted in the 2016 [[Cadillac CT6]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Cadillac Next-Gen V-6 Engines Led by 3.0L Twin Turbo|url=http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2015/mar/0320-cadillac/0320-cadillac-twin-turbo.html|website=GM Media USA|date=20 March 2015|publisher=GM|access-date=20 March 2015}}</ref> === 3.0 L === ==== LGW ==== Bore and stroke of {{convert|86x85.8|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} are used, along with a 9.8:1 compression ratio and twin turbos with titanium-aluminide turbine wheels.
