2017 Cadillac XTS Platinum V Sport Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This video is about this XTS Platinum V-Sport and its interesting features that make it a fantastic luxury and sports sedan. I took a lot of inspiration from Doug Demuro while making this review. A huge thank you goes out to my family for helping me make this video as professional as possible. Enjoy!
Also, I apologize for the pixelation that occurs several times during the video. I'll try to figure out that problem so it'll be fixed for my future videos!
Edit: I forgot to mention that the guages can be changed between different modes/layouts called Balanced, Enhanced, and Sport which gives it a unique or a sporty look

    Cadallic shave been the stand out cars for decades. You are so right, we can always tell it’s a caddy!!!! It never mocks any other car unlike Lexus, Infinity etc. They favor other cars within their brand of Lexus, Infin etc. Love this ride❤️

    Great review. I've got a first year, 2014, model of this car. Platinum. I'm a car nut. This car is absolutely perfect and the best model they've built for as long as can remember. The design is just incredible, and everything they built since then pales in comparison. It's as if the designers were given total freedom and money to design the per car. 410 hp and 27mpg???? God I love my car.

    It was unfortunate that Cadillac discontinued this car. It was a consistent best seller for them. The last Cadillac that at least tried to channel the big sedans of the past and I found it to be extremely comfortable and a great value. Tons of great used ones out there so pick one up!

    Great video and review! I most likely will be buying a Cadillac this month and this was very informative. I now need to choose from the ATS, CTS, or XTS. Would prefer something not too big, and more in the midsize range. Any suggestions? I just subscribed btw 👍🏾

  • @JW_Reviews

    Thank you very much! Ooh that's very exciting that you'll be getting a new car! For me I would get either the CTS or the XTS. I've found the ATS to be more uncomfortable and a little cheap in some areas because it's an entry level car. The XTS and CTS seemed to me to be nicer cars and they both have enough room to accommodate me. If either car isn't too big for you then the XTS will be more comfortable because of the extra space. However, the CTS is a little bit more sporty and probably more fun to drive because it has an excellent chassis (Both the XTS and CTS have V-Sport trims which I like very much). In those cases it is down to your personal preference. I would get the XTS for the increased comfort, but you can't really go wrong with either car. I hope that was helpful! Let me know what you end up getting, I'd love to hear what it is 😁

    If I loved in the US, I'd be a Cadillac fanatic as well. Unfortunately, they're not for sale here so I'm a Jag fanatic. But Cadillac has always been my first choice. Cadillac stopped sales here in 2010 so I'm really bummed because I would have loved to have the new CT4, XTS and XLR.

    This car is a punching bag amongst auto journalists and I don't quite understand. Perhaps that's Cadillac's fault for using 'Vsport' and putting a "v" badge on the back. All I hear is how slow it is. This is exactly the car it needs to be. With over 400hp it could be a bit quicker, but I wasn't disappointed at all when I drove one. I own a mkz 3.0 and honestly, in most applications, that vehicle doesn't feel any faster than the xts vsport. As an auto journalist, if you are going to praise the Lincoln's power, why are you not praising the XTS vsport, which came out 3 years prior to Lincoln's famous 'sleeper'. Both cars have almost matching performance numbers and only Car and Driver was able to get the mkz 0-60 under 5 seconds. I guess the Lincoln gets a free pass because it advertised the MKZ 3.0 as 'smooth, effortless power'. That's exactly what the caddy does too. Lincoln gets praised for something Cadillac did 3 years prior and was not even praised for at that time. Not trying to bash the MKZ as I own one...just trying to defend the poor xts vsport.

    That's a great point you bring up! Many people did complain about this car's "slow" speed. But it is more than fast enough for anything anyone would ever need. It is also a great handling car with plenty of room and good looks. This vehicle is very underrated and certainly deserves more praise. And I'm glad you like your MKZ, those are great looking cars!

    XTS V-sport very hard to find in Florida since the market was the snowy north. I tried to find one for years. Far and few between. The few I did test drive were so abused I gave up trying and bought a Maserati. Still have my XTS non-twin turbo. Great car.

    I love the power, the luxury, and the thoughtful appointments. one thing I can't get past is the exterior styling. This car is definitely handsomer as a Chevrolet Impala. The XTS rear-drive stablemates have much better proportions IMHO.
