2013 Cadillac Xts Review Edmunds. Cadillac is doing away with their sharp edges, and are starting to veer more towards a Euro-friendly lineup, and this is prevalent in the XTS and the upcoming ATS. Purchased a White Diamond exterior with Carmel/Black interior Premium FWD XTS in July after considering a BMW or Mercedes.
It is based on an enlarged version of the Epsilon II platform. At Edmunds we drive every car we review, performing road tests and competitor comparisons to help you find your perfect car. The XTS aims to give Cadillac a more modern and dynamic large sedan.
That's because the XTS—it shares its bones with lesser GM sedans like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Impala—is expected to live for just a single generation.
Both are new Cadillac sedans, but both are very different in the way they deliver luxury.
It introduces Cadillac's CUE interface system, which can be awkward and complex to use. For me the looks are ordinary - the grill is disproportionally too large for the rest of the car and makes it look ungainly - interior though is. That came in handy during this bitter winter, where I drove this sturdy steed through an icy Midwestern snowstorm.
