Is the Cadillac XTS Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive?
2 Answers
The Cadillac XTS features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. It is equipped with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. Below is more information about the Cadillac XTS: 1. The Cadillac XTS is a newly positioned full-size luxury sedan by Cadillac, with body dimensions of 5131mm in length, 1852mm in width, 1501mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2837mm. 2. The Cadillac XTS comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 198kW and a peak torque of 353Nm. The vehicle's intelligent detection system includes lane change assist, front vehicle distance monitoring, lane departure warning, and other comprehensive alerts that are very effective.
When considering the powertrain of the Cadillac XTS, I must say it's primarily front-wheel drive, which is quite common in daily driving. I've test-driven this car before, and it felt very smooth because the front-wheel-drive layout offers more interior space, especially making the rear seats more comfortable without taking up as much room as rear-wheel-drive cars. However, it also offers an optional all-wheel-drive version, suitable for those who frequently drive on snowy or slippery roads. This design makes the XTS more focused on practicality and comfort rather than pursuing sportiness like Cadillac's rear-wheel-drive models such as the CT5. If you often commute in the city, front-wheel drive is fuel-efficient and sufficient, but if the weather is bad, choosing AWD would be much safer. Overall, it's front-wheel-driven, which is a quite practical configuration in luxury cars.
