The 2014 Cadillac XTS is Cadillac'due south flagship luxury sedan. It competes with the Audi A6, Lexus GS, Lexus LS, Infiniti M37, Mercedes-Benz Eastward-Class, Mercedes-Benz S-Class [JB6]and BMW 5 Series. The Cadillac XTS is offered in Base, Luxury, Premium and Platinum trim levels, and the high-performance XTS Vsport is bachelor in Premium and Platinum trims. All-bike bulldoze is offered in all but the base trim.

What's New on the 2014 Cadillac XTS?

New for 2014, the Vsport edition adds a twin-turbo, 3.6-liter V-half dozen engine with 410 horsepower. A self-parking system, automatic high-beams, a dual-screen rear entertainment organisation, and a wood-trimmed rear-seat armrest with radio and sunshade controls are likewise available.

How Does the 2014 Cadillac XTS Compare to Other Luxury Sedans?

The Audi A6 and Infiniti M37 are both sportier sedans, unless you step upward to the Vsport version of the XTS. The Mercedes-Benz S-Form and Lexus LS offering a smoother ride. The Caddy's interior, however, is just every bit luxurious as the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Lexus GS.

What Features in the 2014 Cadillac XTS Are Near Important?

The 2014 XTS comes standard with a 3.half-dozen-liter V-6 engine that produces 305 hp and runs on regular gas. A 410-hp, twin-turbo 3.half-dozen-liter V-vi that runs on premium gas comes in the Vsport. All models except the base trim are offered with all-wheel drive. Standard performance features include a six-speed automated transmission, adaptive suspension with Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo front brakes and rear air springs.

Meaning standard features include 19-inch aluminum wheels, xenon high-intensity-belch headlights, heated side mirrors with integrated plough signals and puddle lamps, a CUE multimedia organization with an 8-inch touchscreen, a pick of two Bose stereos (including a surround-sound system), leather upholstery, a 60/twoscore-dissever folding rear seat with a lockable pass-through, and dual-zone automatic climate command. Available features include 20-inch aluminum wheels, LED accents, adaptive headlights, a power sunroof, a two-screen rear entertainment organisation, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated forepart seats, and heated rear seats.

Standard safety features include an electronic stability organization, all-bicycle antilock disc brakes, forepart and rear side-impact airbags, front articulatio genus airbags and side curtain airbags. A safety alert seat, lane departure warning, forward collision alarm, blind spot alert with rear cross-traffic alert, and a backup camera are all available.

Should I Buy the 2014 Cadillac XTS?

The roomy interior, refined materials, advanced applied science and responsive treatment make the Cadillac XTS a compelling pick for many drivers. However, without the upgraded V-6, acceleration is sluggish. In addition, the lack of concrete knobs and buttons may annoy some, and a rear-cycle-drive model is a surprising omission. Ultimately, functioning fans will want to upgrade to the XTS Vsport or expect elsewhere.

Owns this motorcar

This automobile is the worst Cadillac I have ever owned. The auto has a new problem every calendar week. Shocks going out, rough ride, Cue system lockup....too many more to mention. Stay away from this motorcar unless you take money to burn!

Used to own this car

Worst reliable car I accept ever owned. I owned this vehicle 1.5 years and put 49,000 miles on it. It broke down and left me stranded 8 times. Each repair took from two days upwards to ii weeks.
