I’m mad! XTS is the best model out of all models in the caddy family smh!!! Them in the Chevy Impala, 2019 is the last year for them. 2 pretty big body cars...
Sad after just 6 years run 2013--2019 XTS is history ... I love my 2013 XTS Luxury model....only regret is the froze up CUE system...this infrotainment system is a nightmare when it stops working....bh
I too own a 2018 Luxury and yeah from what I can tell it's exactly the same. Really fell in love with this iteration and sad to see it go.... I could have used a higher performance engine in it and would have loved a rear wheel drive (I should have gotten the all wheel drive) especially coming from a Chrysler 300C but overall love the design!
@Krishna Potluri One thing that has bugged me about this car and I'm sure it's by design but..... when you open up the wireless charging area do you always have a constant flow of cold air coming through? I'm assuming it's to keep the phone temp down while charging but the fact that this air flow is constant even when nothings inside tends to bug be. If my hand is in the general area even with the face closed I can still feel the air coming through regardless of having the heat turned up full blast. 🤔
No mention of Transmission options. The manual pedals on steering wheel. Also if you put I the Transmission in manual mode with the stick shift and do t touch the pedals you are now in automatic Sport mode. The Sport mode firms up the suspension and gives you more responsive steering. Also their is a noticeable difference in the transmission. It seems to hold a gear longer which seems to make the car faster. I found out about the Sport Mode by accident. Their is no mention of it in the Owners Manual.
I do wish I had a 2019 XTSV sport however consider myself lucky to have the XTS that I have. Hope to keep it a long time. My next purchase is going to be a c6.
The V-Sport is like the White Whale. I searched for 2yrs. Finally got a 2019 Lux from a dealer never sold with 9K mile on it. Figured I wasn't gonna find a better deal than that. V-Sport owners are just not letting them go.
I knew I had manual shifting on my XTS but didn’t know that there was a sport mode. Do you think that the sport mode on the XTS adjusts the magnetic dampers?
BusMaster99 I’m looking into it but I think it does in May also adjust the steering, I’ll have to work with it and see if I can see any changes. Thanks for your review you educated me on my own car! I thought I knew everything there was to know about it but you prove me wrong today!
I got to drive a couple of Brand new XTS a few weeks ago and I must say that I wasn’t very impressed. Yes it’s comfy but not super fast or good looking.
Just bought a 2019 in 2024 for $20,000 and I LOVE it!😊
What milage did u get it wit?
I’m getting the luxury trim
. Is it a good car. I have s class Mercedes too much maintaining. I can get this car for $8k. I had an srx didnt like it.
I literally just bought a 2019 luxury, 2 weeks ago for $23k with 29k miles on it and I'm loving it.
20k was an incredible deal.
Gonna get a 2019 luxury for 17999 with 64k on it @@sorandkairi00
I bought a 2018 XTS March of 23
It's an XTS V Sport Platinum AWD in red with sugar maple / Black interior
Absolutely love it
I hadn't known this is the last XTS. I'm going to go look at a preowned 2019 XTS in this same color.

I’m very happy you went thru the settings because I’m about to buy this car
Beautiful ride! Nice comprehensive review 🎉! This big Caddy is missed 😢! 💲💰👏💪🙏

I own a 2018 XTS Luxury, and I don't see any difference between 2018 and 2019 versions. Sad that they're killing XTS, these are good cars!

And the XTS looks better. The ct4, ct5, ct6 look like an Impala.
Facts!

Miss you XTS 💔
Got a 2018 XTS premium.... Didn't realize these were its sunset years.
hows it been treating you. I sat in one the other and it had the most comfortable seat ever!

Do you still have the XTS?
Hello, how was your experience with it and what do you think of it as a personal use?
Still have my XTS no problems WTH it except got new tires.
What is the XT5? I know of the new CT5. For me, the XTS is the best one. I love this car.
XT5 is a midsize SUV.
You're right. I completely forgot about those three SUV's. In my mind I was just thinking about cars.
Liked the detailed CUE coverage... Thanks!
You show me some things that I didn’t know about that I have on my 2016 xts. Thanks
love my xts !!!
For the car or really any model don't push super hard on the controls below the screen because that will cause it to break.
I knew I had manual shifting on my XTS but didn’t know that there was a sport mode. Do you think that the sport mode on the XTS adjusts the magnetic dampers?
Not sure about that, but it definitely adjusts the engine and transmission for the most optimal accelerations.
BusMaster99 I’m looking into it but I think it does in May also adjust the steering, I’ll have to work with it and see if I can see any changes. Thanks for your review you educated me on my own car! I thought I knew everything there was to know about it but you prove me wrong today!
The sport mode does in fact adjust the dampers.
How do you get the lights to flash like that?
Not sure what you mean. Maybe it's just a camera issue.
The camera does that because of the led lights
Nice!
Are oem parts still available?
Yes on GM Parts with VIN
You missed the folding rear seats
6 sped transmission not 8 speed and to open the trunk push on the cadillac crest.
Do you still have this car and had you drove on interstates lately
Nope, it was only a rental.
I have one 😊😊
Anybody had transmission problems with the 2017 and older versions.
2013 6 speed...shuttering in low gear...

How do you make the light blink like tht
That's just the camera.
Your camera and not the car

Hi busmaster99!
Sale it to me big bro.......
XTS is outclassed by almost every other current Cadillac. A poor front wheel drive design IMO!
I got to drive a couple of Brand new XTS a few weeks ago and I must say that I wasn’t very impressed. Yes it’s comfy but not super fast or good looking.
Was never intended to be "super fast". And looks are very much in the eye of the beholder.
It’s not a racecar lol
Caddies were made for beauty not speed,,,, it is a classy car,,,, not a sports car 💯👍
