ELR, XTS, CTS, what do they all spell? If you are a carmaker of luxury vehicles and your name is not Cadillac they spell trouble for you, but if you are Cadillac, they mean sales, profits, and fantastically designed vehicles that will make the rest of the car world jealous. These three models are just a few of the great designs Cadillac has come out with recently, but these are going to be the leaders for Cadillac.
The ELR Coupe brings a strong presence to the party with looks to kill. The jeweled tail lights, hidden door handles and led head lights allow the ELR the look and feel of style and luxury that is all its own. With sleek lines and design that all have come to know as Cadillac style, the outside of this car is just awesome.
Inside are all the creature comforts expected of luxury cars. With the faux wood accents, all leather seats, full power, touchscreen information systems, heated seats, electronic instrument panel, and ambient lighting, the interior will wrap you in comfort and style to help you forget the outside world even exists. The full noise cancelling Bose speaker system keeps all the outside noise where it belongs; outside.
With an onboard electric power generator, the ELR provides more fuel efficiency than its competitors and continues to create its own fuel supply, enough to go 340 miles on the fuel generated by the electric generator. The ELR is a car we have come to expect from the quality reputation of Cadillac and then some.
The XTS keeps the classis Cadillac look we have all gotten used to and having a much lower starting price point than the ELR ($44,900 vs $75,000) the XTS is the luxury sedan for the working class. The XTS has a ton of classis Cadillac features to make you smile and become the envy of your friends and neighbors as well.
The XTS offers a 3.6 L V-6 engine to provide all the power you could ever need along with magnetic ride control to offer that smooth ride luxury vehicles are known for. Also equipped with a ton of air bags, the XTS has a five star safety rating to partner with the exterior sensors in aiding your stop should you need it.
The interior offers all the entertainment and comfort options you could ever desire. A touch screen information center loaded with CUE (Cadillac User Experience) giving you the control over your entertainment and information needs. The XTS also offers a rear mounted DVD/Blu-Ray compatible player to play on the screens mounted in the front headrests so your passengers can really enjoy the ride. Accompanied by the Bose sound system once again, the outside world can stay right where it belongs.
The Cadillac CTS is the most versatile of the three cars. Offering two coupe, sedan, and sport wagon models, the CTS has something to offer for everyone. First and foremost, the CTS is the winner of the 2014 Motor Trend Car of the Year Award that should almost say enough to make you want one.
With a starting price tag that practically mirrors the XTS at $45,900, the CTS offers the whole package with a ton of body and trim styles to allow a variety of needs to be met. The CTS has the classic Cadillac look overall, but shows off with sharper corners up front giving a much beefier front appearance, a look of a car that is here to stay.
Offering a twin turbo V-6, the CTS shows off with 420 horses running, and a zero to sixty time of 4.4 seconds, the CTS is certainly a hard car Along with all this power and speed comes the control of the magnetic ride control allowing power and control to merge seamlessly in your hands.
The interior earns the Cadillac tag line of “Even the details are detailed”. All the creature comforts you could want, along with gadgets and tech to make your ride and experience the best it could possibly be. Offering the touchscreen information system loaded with CUE, leather seats, electronic gauges on the instrument panel, and a ton of other interior feature that truly make you feel the Cadillac style, the CTS gives everything you could need, but more importantly want in a car.
Just with these three offerings from Cadillac other car makers need to be shaking in their boots. Style, class, tech, comfort and power throughout the lineup bring Cadillac to the front of the luxury car industry once more, and they are in position to stay there for a long time.
