The Cadillac XTS (X-Series Touring Sedan) is a full-size luxury sedan from Cadillac.[2] It is based on an enlarged version of the Epsilon II platform. The XTS replaces both the Cadillac STS and DTS,[3] and is smaller than the DTS but larger than the STS. It began production in May 2012 at the Oshawa Assembly Plant and launched in June. The XTS is available with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

For the Chinese market, the Cadillac XTS is being assembled by Shanghai GM. Production began in February 2013. In addition to the LFX 3.6 V6, Cadillac XTS also comes with an LTG 2.0 turbo engine in the Chinese market. In the Chinese market, the Cadillac XTS with an LFX 3.6 V6 engine is called XTS 36S, and the version with LTG 2.0 turbo engine is called XTS 2.0T.

The Cadillac XTS Sedan is currently available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China, and the Middle East (except Israel) in LHD only.

Overview

Cadillac XTS

The Epsilon II-platform is used for the XTS, which is shared with the Chevrolet Impala and the Buick LaCrosse. With the optional twin-turbocharged engine only available in the V-Sport, it has an estimated 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) time of 6.7 seconds.[4] The XTS is one of two large sedans currently offered by Cadillac (the other is the CT6), and rivals the Lincoln Continental in size and price. The XTS is manufactured in Oshawa, Ontario (Oshawa Car Assembly) and in Shanghai, China (Shanghai GM).

Cadillac XTS Platinum concept

General Motors exhibited a concept sedan called the XTS Platinum at the 2010 North American International Auto Show after privately unveiling the vehicle to automotive journalists on August 11, 2009.[6] The concept was all-wheel drive and was powered by a 3.6 L (220 cu in) V6 plug-in hybrid system estimated at 350 hp (260 kW).[7] Its interior was based on hand-cut-and-sewn materials and uses Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays in place of traditional gauges and screens.[7] A Platinum version of the production XTS went on sale in 2013.
