2013 Cadillac XTS priced from $44,995*

Cadillac has announced base pricing for the 2013 XTS, its all-new, full-size luxury sedan. The car goes on sale this spring with a starting MSRP of $44,995 (*including destination charges).

The front-drive XTS will be available in four specifications: Base, Luxury, Premium and Platinum. All-wheel-drive will be available with any of the three trim packages. Cadillac will be deploying CUE, its new capacitive touch infotainment system, as standard equipment and every XTS will be equipped with Magnetic Ride Control.

Not mentioned today was the specific availability of Cadillac's new safety suite or any further pricing information about the specific packages. Cadillac did say it will be releasing a CUE Apple iPad app next month that will replicate the XTS' center screen

That's a great price for this much vehicle... must wait to see what is included and what needs to be optioned at this price point.

Probably around $50k with popular options - Maybe a bit higher with AWD??

Woe to those who buy it during the first year...

I am assuming the CTS will be priced much higher and they will have the XTS awful name car be for people that want a softer ride and the CTS for those that want more sport.

Should have just called it the DTS if it was going to stay V-6 with FWD mostly

Agree'd DTS name should have stayed with this car and a true 7-series competitor under the XTS moniker should have been made (its not too late).

Either way with the XTS being what it is and the addition of the ATS, the CTS has no choice but to move upscale and gain luxury as a midsize sedan.

The CTS currently ranges $35-57K in base form, and ATS will be similar. When the CTS goes up it'll be within a few grand of the XTS. Plenty of room for a true RWD flagship

I always like DTS and STS and many people can identify those names. Why they would drop it for something awful like XTS is beyond me.

The XTS moniker is cool to me. I just wish they didn't waste it on this car

Exactly. We need another Fleetwood.

But, in all honesty, the XTS at least offers AWD....something we never saw on either the Fleetwood or DeVille/DTS.

this is true

may have been true 20 years ago, but not today.

no we don't - the fleetwood is obsolete today. it was (very) long and wide, but not tall, incredibly heavy, drank gas. a modern one would be entirely different, and the days of huge sedans are over - people buy suvs instead.
