2013 Cadillac XTS Premium/Luxury Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review

[@Edescaliente]

I got this 2 Weeks ago. I'm 17 with this car... A only child knows how to have serenity and this is gorgeous :)

[@peteyjd]

This gentleman does an excellent job on his reviews.

[@krocialblack]

Seen one of these in person today. The car looks STUNNING. I would certainly choose this over any BMW. Audi or Mercedes.

[@markellrobinson4447]

I'm going to purchase this same exact car tomorrow that's why I came here to check it out

[@carwhiz90]

GM has made some great products over the years!! My 99 LeSabre has never let me down except for the occasional in-between problems like the starter going dead, intake manifold blowing up 5 winters ago, and nearly losing a serpentine belt due to wear and tear. Overall, really great car

[@33wthomas]

I have owned one of these for two weeks now and it is still nothing but amazing.

[@citibear57]

Nice job as always, Kyle. You do such a great job explaining the modern info systems and you did a great job demonstrating the CUE system on the XTS. I want one! (but I cannot afford one).

[@robertfireye]

I can't help but to smile when seeing this video. Cadillac has done this right.

[@stygianschlitzer]

wow, finally an american concept worth being compared with mercedes/bmw etc! i like the gadgets in it, especially the touchscreen which seems to be easy in use ;) thumbs up, hope cadilac will start selling cars in europe!

[@dtwealthcreator]

You ARE the gold standard of Auto Reviewers!!!

[@jrighteous1984]

This xts is sick!! I'm trading in my 06 STS for this in Nov !! Can't wait !

[@jjchargerboy16]

With a rev limiter at 6500rpm (the circle with numbers 1-7 is called the techometer) you wont be able to get to the 7 the needle on your techometer when either revving to high or smashing on take off. It will stop at 6.5. I just felt like saying this...RPM = Rev's/Revolutions per Minute (If your cruising at 2000RPM, it takes the Crackshaft pulley to rotate 2000 times in one minute). Crackshaft pulley moves the pistons up & down, also turns other pulleys i.e. Pwr steering, Water pump, A/C, etc.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

10 years ago today!! Still my great 1st car.

[@JSTRonline2]

look at this guys a car that is beautifully designed, with plenty of power, and doesn't require premium fuel. Cadillac is brilliant in the design of this car, youthful, but elegant. This is the only luxury american car company that is doing luxury right.

[@Plasticmercenary]

Best review of the xts I have seen. Well done sir.

[@radbcc]

totally agree with this, this kid is a natural. talented, knowledgeable, and humble...

[@afitzy30]

Without a doubt, THE best in depth car review I've ever watched. Precise, accurate, and knowledgeable. You just blew Motor Trend, Car & Driver, and Road & Track out of the water. Keep up the good work, great use of grammar also.....two thumbs up!

[@VermontMan]

i like how much thought went into the car's exterior. very elegant and nice yet very unique. i cant stand it when people can be creative and copy. this one drips with creativity well done

[@animeXL]

Another excellently executed and thorough video Kyle. You always cover all the things everyone else leaves out or barely highlights. Keep it up!!!

[@DeepSingh-qf6te]

it is the best cadillac i have seen yet

[@tytotheler92]

Nice looking Cadillac. Its cool to see where they're going, and how far it is from even what they were in the beginning of the last decade.... I'll miss the V8 RWD boats, but this is better for the majority of Cadillac buyers.

[@Jeremandre]

You and me as well......after the terrible crisis in 2008 i practically lost hope. Im glad to see the re-vamping of their entire lineup.

[@runningman45420]

Excellent review, couldn't wait for you to post this one. Thank You so much :)

[@kevinnctc]

he has one of the best camera on the market today...it shoots in full 1080p HD

[@jamelmoore4356]

Another stellar review! I now have a greater overall appreciation for the quality of this car. Although the CUE system is rather unrefined. Boy I must say, GM is on a roll! If they refine the CUE system and give it a better powerplant, this Cadillac could be a real winner! Overall, great car!

[@DonaldSeymourjr]

Dude, saabkyle04, you are Jamming to hard. Got all the jams.

[@CameronEly]

This car is very nice! I love the customization on the dashboard!

[@gmancarini1]

this is the first cadillac that i would actually consider buying other than the escalade

[@kim_Sagittarius]

Great review it was well explained. I am thinking about getting one and this video convinced me that this is the best. I love Cadillac :-) ThankYou

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

That's part of the reason I dropped my S550 and got an XJ-L portfolio with executive package. They don't use those as limos here. Your other option is the E-class, or CLS.

[@ChildofGod1239]

Beautiful car,I am from the UK and I have always liked Americans cars especially the muscle cars. Hopefully one day I can afford one

[@emilsponga2081]

dont do it. restore a cortina or something , you will thank me

[@starxlr7863]

+Prog X If you like the big american cars, I would suggest any of the older Cadillac's like the Deville, Seville, Eldorado, STS or DTS with the Northstar V8 engines. They are much better in many ways over the XTS. I have been around them all for many years and I prefer the older Cadillac's and recommend those more.

[@jayfrmdav3964]

Hope you ended up getting it💜

[@JSTRonline2]

OMG!!! You actually started the car with a key fob!!! I liked the CTS, but this thing looks sweet as hell.

[@xMikeGreensides]

Love everything they did with the interior!

[@wilcossb]

The programmable dashboard is sick!

[@RedshiftSolo]

I wish they still did a more old school looking sedan like the deville with less aggressive styling and with a longer hood and trunk

[@TexKimball]

I agree. The DTS was the last car they did in that style which I really liked. Gave it that signature full-size luxury feel.

[@starxlr7863]

+CharleyDHobo The Deville/DTS was truely the last real Cadillac and also the only Cadillac that offered that old school ride, feel and muscle V8 power and sound. They are still very popular and in more demand than the XTS that replaced the DTS. I have both an 05 Deville and 06 DTS and I am not selling them. We shall see how the new CT6 will fare or if its another flop.

[@00kirbyd]

What a car. Seems like Caddy's making a comeback.

[@jonjonboi3701]

nice car people with cadillacs are so lucky

[@T966ER]

Kyle you can swipe across the volume control in order to raise / lower the volume much more quickly instead of repeatedly poking the up and down "buttons."

[@FloridaClay]

I have a 2014, also raven black, and have been extremely pleased with it. It is especially nice on long trips. I can drive 100s of miles in it without fatigue.

[@jasonl753]

What's your interior color? I bought a black with shale interior. Beautiful car

[@FloridaClay]

+Jason Lee Black.

[@TeeroyHammermill]

+FloridaClay Seems like a nice car but that generic V6 seems like a slap in the face for Cadillac traditionalist. I feel they should've kept using the Northstar for this model.

[@FloridaClay]

Nothing lost in my view. The Northstar was last used in the 2010 DTS and produced 292 HP and 288 ft lb·of torque. The standard 6 in the XTS produces 304 HP and 264 and ft lb·of torque and is a smooth engine with plenty of power in my experience. I am also averaging, from out the dealer’s door through about 16,000 miles, 26 MPG in mixed driving. And you can get a twin turbo 6 that produces 410 HP and 369 ft lb·of torque if you need an extra kick.

[@starxlr7863]

+dstarks80 I agree Cadillac should have continued using the Northstar V8 but maybe updated it a bit to compete with some of the newer competitors. It was an impressive drivetrain and is still one of Cadillac's longest production V8's. Cadillac's just don't seem right with having a V6......they deserve V8 only.

[@DerangedSloth555]

If the only dealer for Cadillac here haven't closed down, I would have this almost at top of my list.

[@darlahoney12]

One day.😍😍😍😘

[@bentleyspotter]

Kyle, the doors and dash in this car are vinyl, the platinum model is the only one with leather doors and dash. Amazing review as always!

[@stupidfunny02]

love ur vids keep em coming!!!!

[@valdivias24]

Cool car!!! I would definitly get this car over a Lincoln Towncar or a Chrysler 300!!! Cool video Kyle!!! Really liked it and now more interested in Cadillacs!!

[@DragnBarZ]

very smooth ride.

[@caddyman07]

My sentiments precisely! Cadillac needs at least ONE exclusive motor like the Northstar days.

[@philipgil8029]

I shall have this car...

[@MrTitan225]

I have the XTS Luxury model ....mine is a 2014 with the dark grey outside paint....she looks black on cloudy days .....she rules any street im on with her......love the bright front day light leds and the rear tail lights are so sharp ! much like the classic caddys with the red tail fins....Kudos Cadillac........America's Car known all over the world .... American Icon motor car

[@DSNCB919]

Huh my 2010 dts platinum has blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise , zone alert camera etc... I think I'll wait for ct6 cadillac

[@thatonefenderedition]

2001four Yes, XTS replaces DTS sadly. DTS was killed off after 2011 along with the Lincoln Town Car.

[@Mcrichalot12]

Yea i was kinda thinking of that when i bought my 2012 ML350, i got it in a darker grey and i love the color, you should check out how this car looks in grey, or even white which is also nice

[@MrOldeastdallas]

Is this car expensive to fix when they break?

[@edwardmyers1746]

Any cars expensive my man

[@jamelmoore4356]

you're right. the Northstar, while good, had its share of shortcomings. but I do miss my 98 Seville. the 300hp V8 was fast!

[@michaelhayes1752]

just got one to day

[@krasnaludek298]

michael Hayes They're good looking cars; styling is subtle and understated ... which is nice in a sea of ugly Asian cars.

[@babygomez6340]

Thinking about getting one soon any advice?

[@runningman45420]

These videos are for informative purposes and aren't meant to invite criticism, if you don't like the vehicles kindly keep the comments to yourself and don't direct them toward saabkyle, he does a fantastic job on his reviews.

[@CYSongMC]

I still like the physical button to control the AC and media, like bmw iDrive or Audi MMI. Once you familiar with those button, you can use them without glance while you are driving. The touch surface and touch screen always do the wrong things, you have to see the surface area to control, super annoying and dangerous on highway.

[@veramx]

The interior is simply beautiful

[@97I30T]

Those gauges are amazing but I would imagine they could be very problematic and trouble prone as they age.

[@Thecarguy1254]

OMG the XTS is amazing. I just wish it was RWD with a Northstar v8 with DFI and vvt. That is the best looking interior I think GM has ever made!

[@antonioglenn5973]

Damn the luxury and that s*** is right but it should be a v8

[@TJJohnson92]

they have a v8 trim too

[@RetroGamerr1991]

Smokingfilla No they don't. They have a V6 Twin Turbo V-Sport as the highest trim level .

[@OUMagMan]

NICE!! Wouldn't trade it for my new Dodge Charger (too much Bling!!) but, WOW...what a sweet ride! Boss, you do better than the manufacturer's do on these demos! Good job and ... THANKS!! Jim/Ohio

[@starxlr7863]

+Jaccb.A LIJIN No they will always be a part of GM every since they were bought by GM back in 1908. GM needs Cadillac as there official upscale luxury car line.

[@BeefGummybears]

2018 ohhhhhhhh.....

[@Bomboni100]

This was a great review! Great work guy!

[@daddylira]

Very disappointed at cadillac quality lately. I bought a XTS and the paint sucks and sometimes the trunk does not open. I should have gone with mercedez benz or audi

[@ComicKish]

daddylira of course bmw or mercedes

[@ComicKish]

daddylira between u and me all cars suck they just a tool to get u, A to B but when u compare them it gets tricky i think hondas are good but u might as well get acura, but if u get acura u might as well get infinity but if u get infiniti u mights as well go for mercedes or dmw

[@jasonl753]

+daddylira Bought one too! Same problem, weather strip on sunroof broke 2 times, but dealer fixed all of them. Other than that, it's nice car with smooth ride and good interior.

[@markofexcellence5209]

Mercedes Benz and Audi are both of lower quality.

[@thisoldnew4544]

Then I’ll pay $800 every time u look at it funny

[@aryesegal1988]

couldn't agree more. people care to much these days what other people think... it's your life, man.. live 'em -- if you'll be too busy making other people happy, you won't have any time (or power) left to make yourself happy... so my dad says, and so far, he got everything right ;)

[@HtownDrip]

Disappointed....Cadillac is known for large luxury cars, and this car is small. And if you're a DTS driver like myself this car won't do it for you. I rather a large car that i use everyday then a car with all this speed that's never used by anybody.

[@mikesmith5375]

+curtis turner I sat in this car, I weigh 180lbs and it was definitely SMALL, not tiny but not roomy for a cadilac, thus the cheaper price tag!

[@starxlr7863]

+curtis turner Yes the DTS is still popular with many current Cadillac customers. I work at a GM dealer and most Cadillac customers prefer the older Cadillac's much more. I drive a 2005 Deville and it is a very satisfying and enjoyable car to own. It was sad to see the DTS discontinued after 2011 which the XTS replaced.

[@HoodStar413z]

Hahah i made that mistake to get the DTS! Worst! Car! Ever! Made! My 1990 Cadillac DeVille was Comfort! Able to fit 6 people with out being uncomfortable! Trunk space from Hell!! And the best part was that a 6ft driver could move his seat back and there could be a 6ft passenger in the back , an he would still have leg room for days. Also the DTS and XTS suspension suck. Magnetic Suspension is the worst most firm suspension on the planet! Its like putting coil overs on a Cadillac then adjusting the damper to "Feel Every Bump"

[@starxlr7863]

Gucci Goon Well then you didn't have the DTS. The DTS is the BEST modern day brougham and doesn't even compare to the XTS. Magnetic ride is very high tech and extremely comfortable riding system that rivels even the most upscale modern day rides. Several new GMC trucks now use the same Magnetic ride system that Cadillac uses. I work at a Cadillac/GM dealer and its the Deville/DTS cars that are very popular and in high demand over the newer Cadillac models. Only the Escalade is just as popular.

[@starxlr7863]

Gucci Goon Don't know what you mean with saying that a 6 ft driver can have the seat all the way back and still have enough room for another 6 ft passenger.....when the seat is all the way back in any car, there is always less room from behind. Also the trunk space is just as plentiful for both a 1990 Deville and a DTS. I been around both cars, and while both cars have great qualities, neither car is better than the other. They are cars from two different era's and they are both great choices.

[@runfentonrun]

Kyle, you nearly killed us all with the Kenny G!!!!

[@IKhanNot]

The Northstar sucked. Sure it was good when it came out but GM did nothing to improve it. It still blew head gaskets, powered the front wheels for the majority of time and was hooked up to a 4 speed auto which sucked dick. GM used 4 speed autos until 2011 when Germans started using a 5 speed in 1992, 6 speeds in 2001 and 7 speeds in 2003.

[@gene978]

It is an attractive vehicle and I am glad Caddy is going to bring the Flagship model for 2014 based the Ceil Concept. You know this car will come with black rims and blacked out treatment to make it more sporty and a turbo or super charger. Deal at $25K

[@enigma067]

Put the XTS next to a 1976 Eldorado. When you do, you'll realize GM doesn't make a Cadillac any more.

[@Jon3800]

the 3.6 is a good powerplant, I like it as much as old 3800. It's miles better than the Northstar v8 they've been using for decades

[@SkinnedLynryd]

I'll keep my 77 coupe deville... seats and suspension are too stiff in new caddys. I hate how they're trying to be German

[@cadillaccountryclub]

Very good in-depth video. The video really doesn't show how good the lines of the Cadillac is. You have to see that in person to appreciate it.

[@sultansuleiman8507]

This is what they replaced the DTS with? What a joke!

[@starxlr7863]

+Tsar Alexander II of the Russian Empire The DTS was so much better in every way possible. The DTS cars are still in more demand over the XTS and I work at a GM dealer. I drive a 05 Deville and an 06 DTS......not switching to anything else!!

[@sultansuleiman8507]

AMCNorthstar 93 But I don't understand, if the DTS was on high demand, then why did General Motors replace it with an inferior car?

[@starxlr7863]

Tsar Alexander II of the Russian Empire Why did they ever discontinue several other successful models?? That's a question that I cannot answer as I ask the same thing. I don't understand it either. Its like the old saying that "good things must come to an end".

[@sultansuleiman8507]

+AMCNorthstar 93 'Tis true, all good things do come to an end, the Eldorado, Seville, Allante; all lovely cars! I have a soft spot in my heart for Cadillac, even though I only like their pre-2000's models. I myself plan to buy a 9th generation 1988 Eldorado, only if I can ensure that spare parts are available and that it won't break down often! It's actually quite cool that you yourself work at a Cadillac dealer, you get to sell cars under the finest name in the business!

[@starxlr7863]

Tsar Alexander II of the Russian Empire Yes very much so! I have been around these cars all my life and my family has always owned a Cadillac. We currently own 10 different Caddy's years ranging from a 1959 Deville to an 06 DTS. The Eldorado, Seville, Deville, Fleetwood and the Allante are all my absolute favorite names from Cadillac just as the Continental. the Mark anf the Town Car is from Lincoln. I drive an 2005 Deville as my daily driver and believe it or not I get many compliments about it. Might be my age as not many young people drive a Cadillac Deville. Haha MY parents just recently bought the 06 DTS and its just an absolute wonderful car. I still recommend them to anyone I talk to and also current Cadillac customers. Now for the 1986-91 Eldorado, parts are very hard to get now especially body and interior parts. Engine parts are easy to get but not so much for the rest. I would suggest the 1992-02 Eldorado as there are many more of them and much easier to obtain parts for them. I have done so myself as I frequently go to various salvage yards and buy up tons and tons of Cadillac parts.

[@odoylerulz3476]

this channel, cuz they can't afford luxury cars, you couldn't be more wrong! It's called being passionate about cars. I have sat in almost all luxury cars, either my friends or their dads. That doesn't mean I will stop watching videos on youtube! You can never have all the cars unless you are a billionaire. I love Kyle's videos, not just about new super cars but mid sized cars as well, and specially classics! Cuz I LOVE cars, but that's something you will never get.

I meant the 3000 rev limiter in park. The car can go up to 6500rpm before hitting redline in actuality. But when you're driving along, generally a car has a normal rev limiter right when you hit redline to prevent engine damage.

Jaguar in my opinion - jags are a bit more expensive but the new XJ is pretty epic. + you can get a jag with a V8 and they're all rear wheel drive. The XJ is a personal luxury sedan - many reviewers mention that despite its size it's a very enjoyable vehicle to drive.
