The XTS is Cadillac’s flagship sedan. It’s sized and priced to compete in the heart of the luxury market against import sedans like the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The XTS seats five and is available with front- or all-wheel drive. New for 2014 Cadillac ups the performance ante for the XTS second model year with the addition of an available twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6 engine rated at 410 horsepower — 105 hp more than the base V-6. Headlights that automatically turn the high beams on and off as needed are newly available, as is a self-parking feature that automatically steers the car into a parallel parking space while the driver operates the gear selector and pedals. A dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system is also now available, and the rear-seat armrest features wood trim and radio and sunshade controls, when equipped. Exterior Highlights
