The Cadillac XTS starts off at an MSRP of $46,590, going all the up to $65,890, with 4 trims in the lineup. Each trim is offered with a 3.6L V6 engine and a 6-Speed Automatic transmission, producing 304 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque.

Buying Advice

The Cadillac XTS is a high-quality full-size sedan that's packed with features. We recommend the Luxury trim because it offers the best blend of comfort and features like rain-sensing wipers, heated and ventilated front seats with memory function, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and much more. Moreover, with the Luxury trim, you can also opt for the Driver Awareness package that adds even more safety features like a forward collision alert, lane departure warning, surround-view camera system, and the list continues.
