You’ve already heard that the 2014 Cadillac XTS is getting the new twin-turbocharged 3.6 liter V6 LF3 engine making an SAE-rated 410 horsepower and a new front end design (for the boosted engine). What you may not have heard is that the not-really-Cadillac-flagship also adds new features such as a revised rear seat armrest with wood trim plus radio and sunshade controls, a rear seat entertainment system, a front passenger seat memory feature, and IntelliBeam headlamps that automatically deploy high-beams when needed and instantly turn them down when oncoming traffic is detected. In addition, front-wheel-drive models get automatic parking assist and electric power steering.

Comments
A much welcomed update. Although I believe a massage-seat function would round out this car even better.
When will Cadillac offer soft close doors? And is the trunk power on the XTS?
Very good questions. It’s features like these that can place this Caddy more in league with its German competitors, at least in terms of luxury.
they should have this motor in the ATS.
Robert, the LF3 it’s coming in the ATS-V: http://gmauthority.com/blog/cadillac/ats/2014-ats-v/
Can’t wait!

FWD with a TT V-6 ???
Pass
It’s better built and has more hp than an C5 Z06.
If FWD is that much of a turnoff for you, well……
Let me help you; (LF3) 3.6L Twin Turbo engine (available on Premium and Platinum AWD Collections)
Make a nice Vauxhall/Opel Omega
Why doesn’t GM take inspiration from the 1920’s & create a new niche? A 4dr convertable?
Thanks , I’ve recently been looking for information about this topic for a long time and yours is the best I’ve came upon so far.
But, what concerning the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?
