Which replaced the full-size four-door sedan STS, the new car has not changed him, either in appearance or content. Externally serial Cadillac XTS is virtually identical to the previously presented concept. The same sculptural solidity and fundamentalism. And in the spirit of the global trend to increase the size, he's a bit more predecessor. However, the original vyshtampovki sides and hood, and a large angle of the line wings and struts provide him a reasonable drag coefficient. Interesting vertical position headlight LED slightly negate the massive chrome grille false radiator. Incidentally structure itself is made unilaterally transparent so as not to interfere with the safety sensors and adaptive cruise control. But the rear vertical LED lights could not hide the massiveness of the rear part, which, however, only a matter of pride Cadillac XTS, because the entire machine luggage 509 liters. Another special moment was underlined highlighting exquisite car door handles. Well, finally, a 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels complete the brutal image of the premium sedan.

The combination of high-tensile steel frame and wall elements forged aluminum will narrow rack, allowing increased area of ​​glazing. This solution not only provides good visibility to the driver, but in combination with a panoramic sunroof fills car interior light. Cadillac XTS interior itself and refined at the same high tech. Refined style is provided by using expensive materials and high quality finishes. Unfortunately, laser engraving leather upholstery remained only in the memories of the concept, but used in the design of the seats, dashboard and door panels exquisite "French" and perforation line remained. In principle, the production model will be available in two versions: "just XTS" and the Cadillac XTS Platinum, but representatives of Cadillac offer the opportunity to make the interior of the individual through the choice of the six combinations of interior colors and materials inserts, four options backlighting, as well as mass additional optional equipment. As an option, the regular 8-midyuymovy touch screen can be increased up to 12.3-inch. But this monitor at the top of the center console - a key point of brand Cadillac User Experience (CUE). This display combined with two joysticks on the steering wheel console delivered from a variety of buttons and allowed to unite with each other all vehicle systems. Thanks to him, you can control the climate control system (including heated steering wheel and seats), the media center and telephony. It also provides information and navigation camera PDC. The highlight of this system can be considered as voice control function.

Naturally, modern premium sedan impossible without high-end security systems. So the presence of ten airbags, effective brakes on all four wheels, control systems and monitoring ryadnosti blind zones, front and rear parking sensors and adaptive head light is quite logical.

If we talk about the technical characteristics of the Cadillac XTS, the car is built on a larger platform, Opel Insignia and is offered with both front and all wheel drive. But proprietary adaptive suspension Magnetic Ride Control is available as standard. Unfortunately, despite the wealth of equipment, and the trim levels, version of the power of just one - Northstar V6 petrol engine displacement of 3.6 liters and output of 300 "horses", working together with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual selector.

Price Cadillac XTS sedan in Russia (it will be available in early 2012) is difficult to predict. But in the U.S. market for the Cadillac XTS cost is about 36 thousand dollars.
