Representing the model’s sixth year on the market, the 2018 Cadillac XTS is previewed with a series of new design updates. To keep up with its CT6 sibling, the full-sized sedan gets new LED headlights and taillamps, alongside a new grille design that acts as the central focus of the updated front fascia. There are also new fenders, a new rear fascia and revised wheel and tire designs, all housed in a body that’s 1.1 inch shorter than its 2017 predecessor. Under the hood, customers can choose between the standard 3.6-liter V-6, good for 304 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque, or the a 3.6-liter V-6 twin-turbo engine on the V-Sport model, offering up to 410 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are connected to six-speed automatic transmissions. While the engines remain the same, Cadillac has updated the XTS chassis for an improved ride and less exterior noise. Stay tuned for pricing, which should become available before the car launches in the fall.
