"Cadillac debuted the all-new XTS at the 2011 L.A. Auto Show. A completely new model for the domestic luxury line, the full-size XTS sedan positions itself as the next size up from the CTS. Similar to the CTS, the XTS looks to maintain the sportier image the Cadillac brand is pursuing of late.         The 2013 Cadillac XTS comes with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with variable valve timing and direct injection, good for about 300 bhp and 264 lb.-ft. of torque. Known as the &amp;quot;LFX&amp;quot; engine internally, it features aluminum construction for light weight. An integrated cylinder head and exhaust manifold saves an addition 13 lb. or so, and the composite intake manifold shaves another 5.5 lb. The transmission is a 6T70 6-speed automatic from Hydra-Matic. An available Haldex all-wheel-drive system can deliver power to all four contact patches, while an electric limited-slip differential further controls output to each of the rear tires. Fuel economy for the all-wheel-drive XTS is estimated at 17 city/27 highway. The standard front-wheel-drive version is estimated at 17 city/28 highway.        2013 Cadillac XTS    Cadillac touts the new XTS as the only luxury sedan equipped with Magnetic Ride Control on its suspension, standard. Using electronically controlled shocks containing magnetorheological fluid (instead of traditional valves), the shock absorbers on the XTS can adjust damping in as little as five milliseconds. Iron particles in the fluid react to magnetic charge, increasing damping resistance almost instantly. This unique system is matched to a MacPherson-type front and linked H-arm rear suspension with air shocks to provide direct steering feel and driving feel over varying surfaces.        2013 Cadillac XTS    Brembo brakes and 19-in. wheels come standard on the Cadillac XTS. 20-in. wheels are available as an option.   New Technology   Making its feature debut on the XTS is Cadillac&amp;#039;s new CUE system. Short for Cadillac User Experience, CUE is the new driver&amp;#039;s interface. An 8-in. capacitive touchscreen in the center stack allows for proximity, gesture and voice recognition, reducing the number of buttons to seven while allowing for enhanced control of the vehicle. Features such as choreographed interior lighting are accessible controls beyond the typical HVAC and media. A 12.3-in. screen is available for the cluster and is capable of displaying four different themes with varying data readouts.        2013 Cadillac XTS    For safety, a host of control and alert technologies are available. With input from radar, ultrasonic sensors and cameras, the XTS is capable of emitting a combination of visual, audible and touch alerts (the latter by means of seat vibration), with intervening features. Two Enhanced Safety Strategy packages will be available: ESS I (lane departure warning, forward collision alert, safety alert seat, side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert and reflected LED display) and ESS II (color head-up display, front and rear automatic brake, adaptive cruise control, automatic collision preparation, plus all ESS I features).        2013 Cadillac XTS    As per Cadillac tradition, comfort by means of interior space is taken into consideration. The rear seats boast 40 in. of leg room, more than the European competition and a spacious trunk with 18 cubic feet of storage\u2014a surefire hit with Vegas casino management, circa the &amp;#039;70s.   Production for the new 2013 Cadillac XTS begins in spring 2012 in Oshawa, Ontario.        2013 Cadillac XTS   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
