2017 CADILLAC XTS IS FURTHER REFINED WITH ENHANCED AESTHETICS New for 2017: • REVISED GAUGE CLUSTER • TEEN DRIVER FEATURE • EXCLUSIVE NEW 20-INCH WHEEL DESIGN ON XTS V-SPORT • EXTERIOR COLORS: PHANTOM GRAY METALLIC, BRONZE DUNE METALLIC, DEEP AMETHYST METALLIC The Cadillac XTS delivers the space, elegance and dramatic presence that are brand signatures of the Cadillac brand. Its feature set is further enhanced with a number of updates for 2017, including a revised standard gauge cluster and Teen Driver system. The system provides parents with a tool to help encourage safe driving habits for their kids, even when they are not in the car with them. Teen Driver supports safe driving habits by muting the audio of the radio or any device paired with the vehicle when front seat occupants aren’t wearing their safety belts and it gives audible and visual warnings when the vehicle is traveling faster than preset speeds. Teen Driver also includes a built-in system that lets parents view on a display how their teenager drove the vehicle. The 2017 XTS is offered in a well-equipped XTS model and three optional trim levels: XTS Luxury, XTS Premium Luxury and XTS Platinum. The XTS Platinum represents the highest level of technology and luxury, including a unique front appearance, wheels and interior colors, materials and trim. Also available is the XTS V-Sport that takes performance to a higher level, driven by an exclusive Twin-Turbo engine and all-wheel drive. It is available in the Premium Luxury and Platinum models. Standard and available features across the lineup include: • Magnetic Ride Control, rear air springs, HiPer Strut front suspension and Brembo front brakes – all standard • Available advanced all-wheel-drive system with electronically controlled limited-slip differential • Standard 19-inch wheels and available 20-inch wheels, with a new 20-inch wheel design for V-Sport models • Folding rear-seat head restraints that enhance rear visibility • Safety Alert Seat that pulses to alert the driver • Short- and long-range radar systems that support adaptive cruise control, front/rear automatic brakes and rear cross traffic alert (available on Premium Luxury and Platinum Trims) XTS is the only luxury sedan with standard Magnetic Ride Control – the world’s fastest-reacting suspension, which was developed for Cadillac’s high-performance V-Series vehicles. The advanced all-wheel-drive system uses Haldex technology with an electronic limited-slip differential to transfer power front-to-back, and side-to-side, along the rear axle. It is available on all three trim levels. When it comes to trunk space, the XTS is in a league of its own, with 18 cubic feet (509 L), exceeding both midsize and full-size competitors – more than Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. For XTS customers, the cargo advantage means room for five or more suitcases. Exterior Design – Striking design and exceptional detailing XTS’s hardware and spatial dimensions are the foundational layers that support exceptional surface detail. Multidimensional elements, including the grille, headlamps and accent lighting, coalesce to give the XTS a presence and attention to detail unlike any Cadillac that has come before it. The XTS’s surface details also convey a more nuanced design philosophy, bringing elegance with refined, graceful forms and surfaces working harmoniously with established Cadillac linear forms. Read more Interior Features – Handcrafted, authentic materials Like the exterior, the XTS’s cabin extolls a multidimensional philosophy in a bold, elegant design that encompasses passengers and cargo. It represents Cadillac’s expression of luxury in its use of authentic materials and unprecedented connectivity. Platinum models feature a fully wrapped leather interior with microfiber suede headliner, as well as premium wood trim on the steering wheel, console, center stack, instrument panel and door panels. Seating trim is offered with Semi-Aniline full leather seating surfaces or premium Opus full leather – both with perforated detailing. Heated and ventilated seats are also offered. Read more Connectivity – Up-to-the-moment technology, effortlessly integrated Cadillac CUE is the centerpiece of the XTS’s comprehensive collection of technologies designed to enhance the driving experience and complement customers’ increasingly connected lifestyles. CUE is standard on all XTS models. The heart of CUE is the eight-inch LCD multi-touch sensitive screen, integrated into the top of the central instrument panel. CUE’s vibrant LCD screen resembles a smartphone’s screen, with large, easy-to-target icons to execute commands. Read more Powertrains – Confident power from two V-6 engines The Cadillac Twin-Turbo 3.6L V-6 headlines the XTS’s powertrain lineup and is standard on V- Sport models, delivering SAE-certified 410 horsepower (306 kW) and 369 lb-ft of torque (500 Nm) – making it one of the most power-dense six-cylinder engines in the segment. A pair of smaller turbochargers and an efficient charge air cooler help provide more immediate power delivery, while peak torque is sustained over a broad range – 1,900 to 5,600 rpm – for a confident feeling of power when accelerating or overtaking traffic on the highway. The XTS’s standard 3.6L V-6 is rated at 304 horsepower (227 kW) and 264 lb-ft of torque (355 Nm). Lightweight features help reduce overall weight for greater efficiency and a more favorable front-to-rear weight balance. Examples include a composite intake manifold that saves approximately 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg) over the weight of a comparable aluminum intake and an integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold design that saves approximately 13 pounds (6 kg) per engine. The engines are matched with six-speed automatic transmissions with tap-shift control. Read more Driving Experience – Enhanced dynamics and comfort A layered approach to the driving experience relies on new and established technologies – all rooted in a stiff structure. The 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. A smart all-wheel-drive system with Haldex technology – with an electronic limited-slip differential that splits torque between the rear wheels – complements an advanced HiPer Strut front suspension and standard Magnetic Ride Control real-time damping to give the XTS sure- footed, confident and comfortable ride and handling traits. The rear suspension comprises a linked H-arm design with “air springs.” Read more Safety – Active and passive security for top-ranking safety Cadillac XTS provides a standard NHTSA 5-Star overall crash safety rating, the highest safety rating available. In addition, Cadillac provides available advanced safety is based on Cadillac’s “control and alert” strategy that employs advanced technologies – including radar, cameras and ultrasonic sensors – to help prevent crashes. The safety features bolster driver vision and awareness of road hazards, and can even help the driver avert potential crashes. In certain situations, Cadillac’s advanced crash-avoidance systems, such as automatic braking, can pre-fill and automatically apply braking in response to potential hazards.
