Used 2018 Cadillac XTS Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2018 Cadillac XTS is a five-passenger large sedan available in four trim levels: base, Luxury, Premium Luxury and Platinum. The turbocharged V-Sport variant is only offered in Platinum trim. The base trim (called simply XTS) comes nicely equipped with a fair amount of luxury and tech, while the Luxury amps things up with features like heated front and rear seats and a navigation system. The Premium Luxury adds more desirable tech features, and the Platinum loads up with the best of the Cadillac catalog. The V-Sport Platinum also comes fully loaded but adds a 410-hp V6 engine.
Which XTS trim does Edmunds recommend?
The V-Sport will no doubt catch your eye; it's a comfortable cruiser with immensely satisfying speed. But assuming you don't share our tolerance for traffic violations, we'd steer you to the Premium Luxury trim. Get it for its extra standard features that burnish the XTS' luxury sedan credentials, including driver assistance features (a surround-view camera, for example), an adaptive suspension and a premium Bose audio system. Pricing for the Premium Luxury is reasonable, too.
