I’d never driven a Cadillac before today’s video. I expected it to drive like a boat and have little to no tech…but I was wrong. The 2017 Cadillac XTS drives smooth and has a ton of great features. I’d recommend checking out the large HUD above the steering wheel and the unique volume controls. All in all this a great car. If you’re in the mood for a large limo like sedan, I’d highly recommend you take the 2017 Cadillac XTS out for a spin.

The fact that the reviewer had to bring a Nissan Maxima into the discussion less then one minute into the video means either, 1). This car is a massive abject failure of the Cadillac brand or 2). He knows nothing of the contemporary luxury car buying experience. Embarrassing either way.
the parking brake automatically disengages once you push on the gas
Cadillac did not have a reputation of being hard to drive and it drives better than any nissan ever made
That area he put his phone in is actually a wireless charging pad.
Absolutely great detailed review! Thank you so much. Thinking about renting this car…
Nice review of this automobile. I’ve recently rode in one and was delightfully impressed at its smooth ride and comfort.
2017 Cadillac XTS
Hey that’s in Naperville
the car is great that modern car look is what nissan needs in its sentra but besides the sentra the car is great storage’ comfort’ all that space I love it 10/10 from me
that’s not a base model and is more like a $55 to $63,500 car.
I get that Cadillac has used a wreathless shield before in years long past, but I think the shield looks extremely cheap on the grille of the newer XTSs without the wreath. No character.
The dash guages are not “heads up display “
Needs to have a V8 or turbo 6. Ditch the front wheel drive. They were on to something with the STS. Do away with traditional Cadillac instrumentation to compliment center HVAC/GPS. Get a youthful, ” back in black” sound track and combine with a black tie affair with the sporty new caddy XTSS or something.. CT6 gorgeous but too expensive.
I will rent one in August in Orlando airport and I was very worried about the size of the vehicle ! Your comments alleviate me a little. I drove mustangs and Camaros but never so biggest car like the Cadillac XTS.
OMG the dust on the dash…..OCD alert!!!
The XTS is basically an overpriced impala with the Cadillac name on it. An impala premier trim has blind spot and etc
Not having blind side detection is a plus. I always turn it off on my cars that have it. If you have your mirrors set correctly it’s not needed.
The car was pretty good, but I would never but it. There is no audio only mode for your phone, and I HATE Android auto. I have YouTube red and can stream the audio of podcasts and talk shows I like on YouTube. ( YouTube red means I can listen while navigating it when the screen is off
Cadillac is known for effortless driving.
and don’t forget you’re testing base to mid level rentals
What other luxury cars are available? I know I seen the BMW 5 series at a few places…. Are you going to do any of the other luxury cars?
Yu don’t pull up on the hidden compartment you just touch the bottom chrome for a second. don’t push just touch
Sorry bruh that’s no HUD
I am about 99.999% that I rented this EXACT car in Nashville, and then my wife drove it to St. Louis. I remember seeing the 5-28 on the Indiana plate and thinking that was odd. I was a huge fan of the car!
Has the technology that Ford/Lincoln had 5+ years ago.
