Product Overview

Cadillac XTS is an full-size sedan in production from 2012 to 2018. It is available with two V6 engines that displace 3.6L (one of which turbocharged) paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Power is sent to either the front wheels only or to all four corners.
Unfortunately, the Cadillac XTS is limited to V6 engine, which requires an additional balance shaft and produces neither good sound, good torque, or good power response. Its FWD layout also makes it less appealing physically, though it is rather spacious inside.
