Staff Review MotorWeek 7.2 out of 10 2013 Cadillac XTS Sedan

If you’re seeking a distinctive large luxury ride with able performance and a knock-out interior, not to mention tech-savy electronics, then the XTS should exceed your needs.

Staff Review Edmunds.com 7.8 out of 10 2013 Cadillac XTS Sedan

A spacious, high-tech cabin and available all-wheel drive make the XTS a strong contender in the full-size luxury segment.

The Cadillac XTS is a beautiful car that moves much faster than the most liberal speed law allows. It handles quite well, presents some of the most advanced automotive technology, and does it all while delivering 17 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway.

This is a car that other luxury players would be well advised to take note of. Not a car that will challenge the AMG and M vehicles for performance dominance, the 2013 Cadillac XTS is nevertheless a luxurious piece for the laidback driver.

Cadillac brings their latest large car to market and we think it’s one of their best yet. Don’t think this is the CTS-V’s big brother. The XTS is a full-on luxury car, and one we think is the equal of every player in its segment.

Cadillac’s new interior design language, as advanced by the XTS, rocks pretty hard. I have also come to appreciate its controlled surface details and dignified volumes. Given the sturdy legs under the car, a little more horsepower would be welcome.

Sure, those Germans still perform better than the XTS, but you get a lot for your money here. A lot of space. A lot of features. Plenty of performance. And a lot of looks.

The XTS caters to the Cadillac client looking for a traditional large luxury car. Yet its tidy packaging and intelligent design cleverly understate the car’s size.

The new XTS is an amalgamation of the full-size and midsize classes, possessing the best from each—a low price tag, heaps of interior space and good fuel economy.

Do E-Class owners want a bigger E-Class? They might once they find out just how impressive the XTS is. A loaded up E is about the same as an impressively luxurious XTS, and no rival can match the extensive technology Cadillac has on offer.

The 2013 Cadillac XTS’s extensive tech puts it at the leading edge of automotive features, functionality and interface design. And from behind the wheel it’s as competent, capable and comfortable as it needs to be.
