2010 CADILLAC XTS PLATINUM CONCEPT REVIEW, SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES





Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept was unveiled at the 2010 North American International Auto Show. In all aspects the new Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept is the luxury sedan of the future. It has got a wide range of luxury and technological features, including a plug-in hybrid propulsion system.

The new XTS Platinum is a combination of efficiency, luxury and connectivity. It features a new approach to interior electronics that improves the form and function of the car's entertainment, navigation and information systems.

The Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept is powered by Cadillac's 3.6L V-6 Direct Injection gas engine, paired with a plug-in hybrid system which enables the battery to fully charge from a standard electrical outlet. The plug-in technology thus enables pure electric propulsion in many situations.

The traditional luxury sedans were noted for elegant interiors while the XTS Platinum Concept drives that formula into the future. It brings new approaches to luxury within a design that combines fine craftsmanship with customer-driven improvement. The interior of Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept is based on hand cut-and-sewn materials. In addition it features an attractive interior design, including the use of Organic LED displays in place of traditional guages and screens.

The primary color of the cabin is light cream which is contrasted with darker elements such as steering. Thoughtfully detailed stitching is used throughout the interior, including instrument panel, the seats and door panels. The passengers in the rear compartment of XTS Premium Concept also have access to the car's connectivity feature.

Just like the interior, the exterior elements of Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept are elegantly designed. Brushed billet aluminium trim has been used selectively and the 20-inch 6-spoke wheels feature a brushed aluminum face accented with bright inserts within the spokes. The wheels are wrapped with special Bridgestone tires that were created specifically for the XTS Platinum Concept.
