2013 Cadillac XTS



The Cadillac unveiled the 2013 Cadillac XTS, the newest accessory for the Cadillac luxury sedan lineup. It comes to showrooms in U.S. and Canadian showrooms in the spring of 2012 because the most technologically advanced production car within the brand's history.



As well as the CUE interface and connectivity, many other advanced technologies are integral to the new 2013 Cadillac XTS. It will be the only real luxury sedan with standard Magnetic Ride Control - the earth's fastest-reacting suspension. Advanced technologies that enhance vision and safety surround the driver can be found as well. Positioned directly above the centerpiece CTS family in Cadillac's revamped lineup, the new 2013 Cadillac XTS features a 3.6L direct injection engine and advanced all-wheel drive system, marking a shift to more-efficient performance in a spacious luxury sedan.

2013 Cadillac XTS hardware and spatial dimensions are the foundational layers that support a new degree of surface detail. Multidimensional exterior and interior elements, including the grille, headlamps and new use of accent lighting, coalesce to give the XTS a presence and focus on detail unlike any Cadillac that has come before it.


StabiliTrak electronic stability control is standard on all models, along with variable-effort steering and Brembo four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel antilock brakes - all features that add important layers of control towards the driving experience. Like Magnetic Ride Control, 2013 Cadillac XTS borrows the Brembo braking technology from Cadillac's V-Series of high end models.


Horsepower for that 2013 Cadillac XTS originates from an advanced 3.6L V-6 that's known by its "LFX" engine code. It is with a rating of approximately 300 horsepower (224 kW). Lightweight features reduce overall weight for greater efficiency and a more favorable front-to-rear weight balance. These include an amalgamated intake manifold 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 LFX engine is matched using the Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission with tap-shift control.


The 2013 Cadillac XTS will start production in Oshawa, Ontario in spring 2012.
