General Motors is set to unveil the new Cadillac XTS next month during the auto show in Los Angeles. The new XTS will be taking the place of the Cadillac DS and STS.
The 2013 Cadillac XTS production version will be unwrapped and also highlight the CUE entertainment setup. The CUE setup is actually an infotainment suite which includes tools for communication, navigation, and other interface for the user. This CUE will be rolled out to be in the new XTS and ATS sedan, as well as in the crossover SRX.
The new Cadillac XTS was first previewed as the Platinum Concept during last year’s Detroit motor show. The XTS Platinum is powered by a V6 3.6: with direct injection gas engine working with a plug-in hybrid setup. The powerplant can output of around 350 horsepower with a torque of at least 295 pound feet.
General Motors confirmed back in August that the XTS sedan will go in production by Spring next year at their Oshawa factory in Ontario.
It is not certain what engine will be put into the heart of the new Cadillac XTS but it will most likely not include the plug-hybrid setup of the concept vehicle.
