| 2014 Cadillac XTS Luxury Collection 4DR Sedan |
| LUXURIOUS, REFINED, WELL-EQUIPPED, NO-ACCIDENT, NONSMOKER, TIMELESS CADILLAC COMFORT! Some sedans simply move you from place to place. The 2014 Cadillac XTS Luxury is built to make the journey feel like part of the reward, and this Crystal Red Tintcoat example over Shale and Cocoa Soleil leather is an especially appealing one. With 64,641 miles on the odometer, a power Ultraview sunroof overhead and CUE navigation on the dash, it brings full-size American luxury within reach. The history is just as easy to like. CARFAX reports no accidents, and its 15 documented service records show a vehicle that has been looked after consistently. Spread across its twelve model years, the mileage works out to well under 6,000 miles per year, far below the typical annual figure. Why Shoppers Buy This Model The XTS has long appealed to buyers who want genuine full-size luxury without the full-size luxury price. Edmunds describes the cabin as roomy and up to date, with quality materials and plenty of high-tech features, and says the XTS handles better than its size suggests. The result is a sedan that feels substantial, quiet and composed, the kind of car that makes a long commute or a highway road trip something to look forward to. Shoppers typically cross-shop the XTS with the Lincoln MKS, Lexus ES and Hyundai Genesis. Many choose the Cadillac for its blend of space, ride comfort and distinctive styling, along with a trunk that Edmunds notes is among the largest on the market at 18 cubic feet. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition Edmunds praises the 2014 XTS for its spacious interior, quality materials and long list of technology features, and singles out its standard adaptive suspension for a firm yet buttery-smooth ride on most surfaces. The reviewers also liked the gauge cluster and the 8-inch CUE touchscreen with its smartphone-style gestures. Safety results are strong as well. The XTS earned 5 stars overall from NHTSA, including 5 stars in the frontal and side crash tests, and the IIHS gave it its top Good rating in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and rear crash protection tests. Warranty The odometer on this XTS currently reads 64,641 miles. Cadillac's original factory coverage for this vehicle has expired, so the XTS is offered on its own merits, and those merits are strong. CARFAX documents 15 service records over the life of the vehicle, and the mileage averages well under 6,000 miles per year. Extended service plans are available for buyers who want added peace of mind. Standard Features The Luxury trim brings a generous list of standard equipment to the XTS. A 3.6-liter V6 with 304 horsepower leads the way, joined by an adaptive suspension for a smooth, controlled ride, leather seating, an 8-inch CUE touchscreen, OnStar, stability control and side airbags. Together they give this sedan the polish of a true luxury car right from the base configuration. Installed Options Driver Awareness Package Lane Departure Warning: Alerts you if the vehicle drifts out of its lane without signaling. Side Blind Zone Alert: Watches your blind spots and alerts you to vehicles you might not see. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Helps detect traffic crossing behind you while backing up. Forward Collision Alert with Safety Alert Seat: Warns of a potential collision ahead with a distinctive pulse in the driver's seat. Power Ultraview Sunroof A large, expansive sunroof that fills the cabin with natural light and a true open-air feel. CUE Information and Media Control System with Embedded Navigation Brings built-in touchscreen navigation and media control to the dashboard, so directions and entertainment are always easy to reach. Mechanical Features Power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 304 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque, sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. The V6 delivers smooth, confident power for passing and merging, and the automatic keeps shifts refined whether you are cruising the highway or working through city streets. EPA estimates are 18 miles per gallon in the city, 28 on the highway and 21 combined. The standard adaptive suspension continuously adjusts to the road, which is how the XTS manages a ride that Edmunds describes as firm yet buttery-smooth while still feeling more agile than its size suggests. Exterior Features The Crystal Red Tintcoat finish gives this XTS a striking, upscale presence, with deep color that looks different in every kind of light. Alloy wheels complete the confident full-size stance, and the power Ultraview sunroof adds a welcome touch of openness overhead. Interior Features Shale and Cocoa Soleil leather seating with mini-perforation gives the cabin a rich, upscale look and a soft, comfortable feel. The full-size cabin is genuinely spacious, so passengers have room to stretch out, and the large trunk, at about 18 cubic feet, is ready for luggage, golf bags or a big shopping trip.
