What's New for the 2018 Cadillac XTS?
Launched in 2013, the XTS is the Cadillac full-size touring sedan. Now
the brand's top-selling car, the XTS has been retouched for 2018. This
year's edition is an inch shorter than its predecessors, and it benefits
from a design edit of its fenders, grille, headlights and taillights.
It also features more-comfortable seats, and the elegant automaker put
its latest Cadillac User Experience system into this model. CUE for
short, the system provides infotainment features via a user-friendly
interface.
