SubscribeCadillac turned a lot of heads this year at the Detroit Auto Show. The Chicago Cadillac XTS concept car was on display and it looks like it’s close to production. The XTS will replace the STS and DTS models that are currently in showrooms.
The XTS will be a 2 mode hybrid. It will be built with a 3.6-liter direct-injected V6 engine connected to an electric motor. Staff for the company told show-goers that it’ll be around 350 HP….Awesome, a little more power than other Chicago Cadillac used cars!
Cadillac promises that this car will have a lot of plush-ness you’d expect in a Caddy. The XTS concept in Detroit had an interior that wowed. The term for the interior that is being used is “personal headquarters”. What this means is that the interior is beautifully crafted with high quality materials like birch wood and suede. At the same time, the driver and passengers will have plenty of space for a comfortable ride! In the back seat, there are 2 screens for separate entertainment features and for the driver there is an interactive touchscreen. The Chicago Cadillac XTS is one beauty!
Outward, the Cadillac model has 20 inch wheels (on Platinum XTS) and a long wheel base. The stat listed right now for the total length of the car is around 200 inches. The signature front grill and vertical lights are also found on this sedan. The XTS will most likely be available in two models: a more “traditional” sedan and sportier version. The sporty option may appeal to those Caddy fans who fell in love with the Chicago XLR.
Features found on other Chicago Cadillac used cars will probably make their way into the XTS. Some of these include heated and cooled front and rear seats, lane-departure warning, front and curtain side air bags, and a more than adequate sound system. One feature that may be bigger and better is a “multi-mode electric system”. It will adjust steering, suspension, braking, and throttle, based on driving conditions.
The XTS is set to be ready for sales as a 2013 model. I cannot wait to take a test drive!
