2019 Cadillac Xts in Rochester, NH - $0

Cadillac unveiled the all new 2013 XTS sedan at the 2011 Los Angeles Automobile Show, the newest addition to the Cadillac luxury sedan lineup and the most technologically advanced production car in the brand's history. Larger than the CTS, the new XTS delivers the space, elegance and dramatic presence that are Cadillac signatures, but with entirely new and technically advanced methods tuned for a new generation of luxury customers.

It also marks the debut of CUE, a comprehensive in-vehicle experience that merges intuitive design with auto industry-first controls and commands for information and media data.

The new XTS features a (LFX) 3.6L V-6 direct injection engine joined to a Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission with tap-shift control. The XTS is also equipped with an advanced Haldex all-wheel drive system with an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.

Available in Standard, Luxury, Premium and Platinum trim levels, the new Cadillac sedan uses a layered approach to the driving experience which relies on new and established technologies – all rooted in a stiff structure. The XTS body is infused with strategically placed ultra-high-strength steel for strength and crash protection and serves as the foundation for the advanced-chassis system. Control hardware for the XTS features an advanced HiPer Strut front suspension and standard Magnetic Ride Control real-time damping for a sure-footed, confident and comfortable ride and handling traits. A linked H-arm design with "air springs" comprises the rear suspension.

The HiPer Strut is based on the MacPherson strut front suspension design and features dual-path top mountings that separate the transfer of spring and damper loads to the body structure. It improves ride-and-handling characteristics in four significant ways: Provides more linear and communicative steering through improved camber control; improves impact isolation on bumps and rough surfaces; reduces torque steer; and improves vehicle sensitivity to tire irregularities and wheel imbalance.

Inside the passenger cabin features Cadillac CUE, the highly customizable user interface that exemplifies XTS' blend of advanced technology and artistic design. The heart of CUE, which stands for Cadillac User Experience, is the standard eight-inch screen in the "center stack," the faceplate below the screen and the steering wheel controls. CUE features several industry firsts, including capacitive-touch control with proximity sensing, gesture recognition and natural voice recognition.

Available exclusively on the XTS is the 12.3-inch reconfigurable cluster. It features vibrant graphic displays showcased among four driver-selectable themes, ranging from minimal to extensive information. And while it is the prominent element in the XTS' technological character, CUE is part of a more comprehensive and layered approach to the car's design, capabilities and performance.

The XTS is also the most-spacious Cadillac sedan, tailored to provide roominess in a more efficiently sized package. It offers more interior space than midsize luxury cars and comparable to full-size sedans, particularly in the rear seat area, where it has 40 inches of rear legroom.
