THAT RAREFIED SLIVER BETWEEN THE GOOD AND THE
TRULY GREAT. THERE’S NO MAP TO HELP YOU FIND THIS
ELUSIVE PLACE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THERE IS SIMPLY
TO BELIEVE YOU CAN.
At Cadillac, we’ve set out to create our own uniquely American breed
of extraordinary. It’s why we’ve created our own daring school of design
that pushes steel way beyond its comfort zone. It’s why we’ve pushed
technology two generations ahead by pioneering a bold new way for
drivers to intuitively access entertainment and information with the
flick of a finger. And why, in everything from safety to performance,
we measured ourselves against the world's best.
REDBLOODED. DARING. ORIGINAL. These are the kinds of luxury
vehicles we build. It takes tenacity, a refusal to leave well enough alone.
That is the difference between good and great.
That is the difference between just making luxury vehicles, and making Cadillacs.
The New Standard of the World.

CUE
The XTS redefines the principles of what’s possible, beginning with the groundbreaking
CUE. Employing first-of-its-kind technology, CUE brings the intuitive control of
smartphones and tablets conveniently to the road. It’s so advanced, it even senses your
hand as it approaches, displaying relevant information and providing tactile feedback
from its brilliant touch screen. The inspired thinking also extends to available XTS safety
technologies like its perimeter warning that helps alert you to obstacles and hazards
in your path. Under the artfully sculpted hood, the impressive 3.6L direct-injection V6
delivers a refined 304 HP, while available torque-vectoring All-Wheel Drive and the rear
electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) responsively put power where you need it,
when you need it. And it’s all backed by Cadillac Shield, the most comprehensive suite of
owner benefits offered by any luxury automotive brand in the world.

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.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE DETAILS,
WHERE DO YOU STOP?
YOU DON'T.
DIRECTIONAL HID HEADLAMPS
To help light the way at night, the brilliant HighIntensity Discharge (HID) headlamps are available
with Adaptive Forward Lighting. Sensors react to the
car's speed and steering, directing the headlamps to
cast light precisely into your path of travel.
DYNAMIC 20" WHEELS
Featuring a brilliant, polished finish and chrome
inserts, these 20" Platinum Collection wheels are
the ideal complement to the XTS.
BOLD, CONFIDENT GRILLE
The aerodynamic front is discerningly
accentuated with chrome and balanced by
a subtle piano-black finish, delivering a
sleek and striking appearance.
ROOM W ITH A VIEW
A third window was engineered
behind each rear door. This design
not only provides an overall feeling of
even more space, but also gives rear
seat passengers a clearer view.

ILLUMINATED DOOR HANDLES
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.
DESERVES LIGHTING TO MATCH.
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.
AMBIENT INTERIOR LIGHTING
Adding drama and illumination, this available feature
includes subtle lighting under the wood trim on the
dash and door panels. It also includes LED spotlights
under the door pulls in front, in the foot wells and
from the overhead console.
With the XTS setting the perfect stage for an exhilarating performance, it’s fitting the
lighting was designed as if it were a contemporary theater. Every piece of illumination
was choreographed with a specific 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 LED reverse lamp to improve your view. Even the available
illuminated exterior door handles add a purposeful touch on a dark night.
