Cadillac has debuted the refreshed 2018 XTS, which sports updated front and rear fascias and revised chassis.
The 2018 XTS has received styling inspired by the CT6 sedan, with new LED headlights and taillights, different fenders, updated front and rear fascias, and a new grille. For wheels, Cadillac has added new designs for both 19- and 20-inch sizes. The chassis has also been updated with a focus on improving ride comfort, while Brembo front brakes are now standard. The next-generation Cadillac user experience infotainment system that debuted in the 2017 Cadillac CTS, otherwise known as CUE, has also been added.
Inside the cabin, Cadillac says drivers will find front-seat luxury much more comfortable thanks to changes to seat foam geometry, wire frame structure, and heat pad redesign. The American automaker also increased the use of engineered sound insulators to reduce exterior noise. Buyers can also choose from new interior decor, like the revised Jet Black with Shale-accented environment available for XTS, XTS Luxury, and XTS Premium Luxury models. The XTS Platinum also gets new Jet Black and Maple Sugar with Jet Black accents.
