21:20 Premium sedan Cadillac XTS | |
Despite
the significant difference preferences of American and European
customers, the automakers on both sides of the Atlantic do not leave
hope to create a model that will be cherished and in the U.S. and in
Europe. For this purpose, back in 1975 Concern General motors introduced a luxury sedan Cadillac. From generation to generation, he changed the name of Seville, Eldorado, STS.
And in January 2010 at the North American International Motor Show was
presented the concept Cadillac XTS, which in 2011 was embodied in a
production car of the same name - a source of pride professionals GMC. 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.
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. | |
