Cadillac XTS has been discontinued and has officially ceased production in Canada. The Cadillac XTS features a very typical family-style exterior, with a shield-shaped grille paired with the teardrop headlights first introduced on the CT6. The unapologetic American bold style is immediately striking, giving it a very imposing presence. Taking the 2018 Cadillac XTS as an example, it is a 4-door, 5-seat mid-to-large-sized sedan under SAIC-GM, with body dimensions of 5103mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1502mm in height, a wheelbase of 2837mm, a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters, and a trunk capacity of 537 liters. This model is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 269 PS and a maximum power of 198 kW.

I remember keeping track of Cadillac's moves in recent years, and indeed, the XTS was discontinued back in 2019. That's when the brand started a major transformation, shifting focus to new models like the CT5 sedan and the XT series SUVs, as they noticed consumers were leaning more towards sportiness and the electric trend. The XTS was quite popular when it launched in 2013, offering comfort and luxury as a flagship sedan, but it became a thing of the past as sales declined. Nowadays, if you're looking for a similar car, you might consider the remaining stock in the used car market or check out Cadillac's CT6, though the brand as a whole is pivoting towards a younger demographic. I think this is a clear signal that automakers are adapting to market demands. While used car prices might remain stable after discontinuation, the supply of spare parts for repairs will gradually decrease.

I specifically asked the 4S dealership when buying a car, and they confirmed that the Cadillac XTS has long been out of production, with the official discontinuation announced in 2019. The salesperson said the model exited the stage mainly due to product line adjustments, as the brand is now focusing on new CT series like the CT4, along with more SUVs such as the XT5. For me, the option to buy a new one is off the table post-discontinuation, leaving only the used car market to explore. Some 2018 models are still in good shape, though they lack newer tech features. I'd suggest interested buyers check used car platforms and pay attention to vehicle condition inspections. Overall, the brand's strategy has shifted, with everyone chasing the SUV trend.

The Cadillac XTS was officially discontinued in 2019. As a longtime owner, I feel a bit regretful. When it was launched in 2013, it was the flagship model positioned as a premium sedan, but now the brand is shifting focus to the CT series and electric vehicles. The discontinuation won't affect maintenance for existing vehicles for too long, as spare parts are still available.

From my experience, the Cadillac XTS was discontinued in 2019, primarily due to the brand's optimization of its product lineup. After discontinuation, owners are advised to pay attention to maintenance spare parts inventory and used car value retention, as 4S stores still support some services.

I noticed the official news from Cadillac that the XTS was discontinued in 2019 due to a brand strategy shift towards launching more CT series new models. Owners don't need to worry about immediate issues post-discontinuation as spare parts are guaranteed, but they may become harder to find in the future.

More Q&A

What are the causes of clutch shudder?

Clutch shudder can be caused by the following reasons: Uneven distribution of normal pressure between the driving and driven discs: In a friction clutch, uneven spring tension of the pressure plate springs, inconsistent adjustment of the release levers, and/or uneven ends of the diaphragm spring fingers can lead to asynchronous engagement timing, uneven force distribution on the pressure plate, or even tilting of the pressure plate. This results in poor contact between the driving and driven discs, causing clutch shudder. Weakened damping spring tension: Weakened tension of the clutch torsional damping springs, reduced tension of the clutch pressure plate springs, or cracks in the diaphragm spring can all cause shudder during clutch engagement.

What does the ABS warning light mean?

There are various conditions when the ABS light is on, with different causes and solutions for each condition, as detailed below: Condition 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing part is covered by mud, sludge, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the vehicle speed or wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the tone ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose system wiring connections or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system malfunction. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. Condition 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical devices are in use, battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As engine speed increases, voltage rises, and the ABS light turns off. This may also occur due to low system supply voltage, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check battery specific gravity; inspect the charging system; verify power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). Condition 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start but turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body wiring connector; ABS control unit failure. Solution: Loosen and retighten the hydraulic valve body ground screw, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check for enlarged connector gaps; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit. Condition 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: The ABS control unit detects a significant discrepancy between rear and front wheel speeds; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, typically found on the label near the fuel filler cap. Condition 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improperly adjusted brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and push the brake switch linkage down fully with your finger, then release the pedal to complete self-positioning; replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is on, it is recommended not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, locked wheels may cause the vehicle to skid uncontrollably, preventing the driver from slowing down or adjusting the vehicle's path, posing significant safety risks.

What is the minimum speed for fourth gear?

For manual transmission vehicles, the minimum speed for fourth gear is 40km/h. Below is a related introduction about vehicle gears: Speed aspects: First gear corresponds to a speed of 0-5km/h, second gear to 5-20km/h, third gear to 20-40km/h, fourth gear to 40-60km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100km/h. Shifting timing: The general shifting timing for most vehicles is when the engine reaches 2000r/min, and should not exceed 2500r/min. For some high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can occur around 3000r/min.

What are the symptoms of a faulty fuel pump in a car?

When a car's fuel pump is damaged, the engine typically exhibits symptoms such as sluggish acceleration and abnormal noises. Below are detailed descriptions of the car's condition when the fuel pump is faulty: Sluggish Acceleration: There is a jerking sensation during sudden acceleration; the car is difficult to start and requires prolonged turning of the key. Abnormal Engine Noises: Unusual noises occur while driving; the engine shakes, and the engine warning light comes on. Fueling Precautions: When refueling the car, avoid waiting until the fuel warning light comes on, as this can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan. The fuel pump is a critical component of the car's fuel supply system: If the fuel pump fails while the car is in motion, it can directly cause the vehicle to become immobile, operate poorly, or exhibit symptoms like labored acceleration.

What Damage Can Hail Cause to Cars?

Hail falling from high altitude carries significant kinetic energy and can be quite destructive. Even ordinary-sized hail can damage vehicles, causing harm to windshields and paint surfaces, with the extent of damage depending on the size of the hailstones. Below is a detailed introduction to the hazards hail poses to cars: When hailstones are relatively small: For example, the size of soybeans, the impact is minimal and typically does not cause damage to the car. Vehicles have a certain level of impact resistance, and in most cases, they remain unharmed unless the car body or glass quality is poor. When hailstones are larger: Such as the size of a one-yuan coin, some as big as eggs, or even tennis balls, these heavier hailstones can smash cars, leading to shattered glass, dents, and other body damage. Precautions during hailstorms: Try to park the car in a sheltered area, preferably in an underground parking lot. If the car must remain outdoors, covering it with a thick blanket can help minimize damage. When caught in a hailstorm with no place to take shelter, quickly move to the back seats of the car to avoid injury from potential windshield shattering.
