2013 Cadillac XTS
2013 Cadillac XTS. The new 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.
Available exclusively on the Cadillac XTS is the 12.3-inch (312 mm)
reconfigurable cluster. It features vibrant graphic displays showcased
among four driver-selectable themes, ranging from minimal to extensive
information. And while it is the prominent element in the XTS’
technological character, CUE is part of a more comprehensive and layered
approach to the car’s design, capabilities and performance.
The Cadillac XTS Platinum is the fullest expression of Cadillac’s
multidimensional philosophy, with features that include a
chrome/satin-chrome grille finish, polished 20-inch aluminum wheels with
chrome inserts, a fully wrapped leather interior with Alcantara
headliner and more.
Horsepower for the Cadillac XTS comes from an advanced 3.6L V-6
that’s known by its “LFX” engine code. It is rated at an estimated 300
horsepower (224 kW). Lightweight features help reduce overall weight for
greater efficiency and a more favorable front-to-rear weight balance.
Examples include a composite 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 with the Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission with tap-shift control.
