Is the Cadillac XTS Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive?
2 Answers
Cadillac XTS is front-wheel drive. Taking the 2018 Cadillac XTS as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized car with body dimensions of 5103mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1502mm in height, a wheelbase of 2837mm, a minimum ground clearance of 127mm, and a curb weight of 1840kg. The 2018 Cadillac XTS is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. The engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 269ps, a maximum torque of 353Nm, and a maximum power of 198kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Cadillac XTS for a while now, and I really enjoy its driving feel. This car isn't rear-wheel drive but standard front-wheel drive. The advantage of front-wheel drive is more direct handling, especially feeling stable when turning in the city, with quick starts and better fuel efficiency. As a family sedan, front-wheel drive provides more cabin space, making the rear seats more comfortable. However, the front wheels bear more weight, leading to faster tire wear. I recommend checking the wheels every six months to prevent premature replacement. Some people confuse Cadillac's other models, like the ATS-V, which is rear-wheel drive with a sporty style, but the XTS is designed for comfort—something I've personally verified many times. It's quite stable in the rain, but don't risk driving it on muddy terrain.
