Where is it written that head-turning

Information Provided by:

presence and formidable performance be

restricted only to two-door coupes? The

chiseled, angular skin of the XTS was

designed not only to turn heads, but to

slice through the wind, helping improve

performance and mitigate noise. Its

distinctive, sloping grille is integrated

into the overall design so seamlessly, the

ﬁ nal effect is both subtly detailed and yet

convincingly stated. Of course, its assertive

stance and striking vertical rear taillamps

make a bold statement, but when you spot

the massive front Brembo

brakes lurking

behind the spoked alloys, it becomes clear

this is a Cadillac to be reckoned with.

ILLUMINATED DOOR HANDLES

Information Provided by:

Refined details are everywhere, right down to the available illuminated door handles. More than an accent, their soft glow makes them easier to locate. Once you are in the vehicle, they return to their non-illuminated state.

PUDDLE LAMPS

Subtle lamps located under the outside mirrors cast a light near the entrance of the car as part of the carefully choreographed lighting sequence, so your path is well lit.

ILLUMINATED SILL PLATES

In the XTS, every detail was considered. For example, upon opening either front door in the Platinum Collection, backlit sill plates are an inviting touch.

With the XTS setting the perfect stage for an exhilarating performance, it’s

ﬁ tting the lighting was designed as if it were a contemporary theater. Every

piece of illumination was choreographed with a speciﬁ c task in mind, whether

it is to draw your eye to the meticulous details or to add illumination to key

areas. Taken individually, each light is impressive in its own right, like the

signature Cadillac light pipe technology integrated into the headlamps and

taillamps. They form a razor-thin blade that is clearly evident at night—

making your vehicle visible and distinctive from any angle. When backing up,

there’s a lower-mounted reverse lamp to improve your view. Even the available

illuminated exterior door handles add a purposeful touch on a dark night.

AMBIENT INTERIOR LIGHTING

EVEN THE FINE POINTS HAVE

Information Provided by:

FINER POINTS.

The ﬁ rst moments behind the wheel are, in many ways, the

most inspiring. It is why we designed the XTS to feel more

like a perfectly tailored garment. You wear it, feel it, think

it. There’s the wraparound instrument panel that blends

seamlessly into the upper doors, creating an uninterrupted

sense of spaciousness. To that, add ﬁ ne leather seating

surfaces, exotic woods and brushed metal that work in

concert to further accentuate the cabin. Even the spacious

backseat with best-in-class rear legroom is slightly

elevated so every passenger is afforded a seat with a view.

It may feel as if every interior detail was designed to meet

your personal speciﬁ cations. Perhaps that’s because it was.

THE LINING OF A SUIT.

THE MOVEMENT OF A WATCH.

TRUE LUXURY CAN OFTEN BE FOUND ON THE INSIDE.

The meticulous attention to detail continues into the striking cabin. Intuitive

controls are complemented with impeccably detailed materials like lustrous exotic

wood that trims the steering wheel and is carefully laid throughout the center

console. Laminated front side glass and triple door seals work in tandem to help

deflect noise before it enters the cabin. And to optimize seat comfort, pressure-

mapping technology was used extensively to design the contoured front seats. Proof

that in the XTS, technology deﬁ nitely comes with a sophisticated side.

THE ART OF DETAIL

The closer you look, the better it gets. Leather surfaces, contrasting stitching, beautifully grained woods and brushed metal all come to life in the XTS.

INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED STORAGE

From the smartly placed mobile device holder to the center control panel that opens, every millimeter of the XTS reveals yet another brilliantly engineered space.
