2019 Cadillac XTS Premium Luxury 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
It is a Great soft ride, plenty of interior room. Average 23-24 combined and 19 around town, and 28 on a trip using regular gas. Plenty of power and most of the Safety features.
Even has the self Parking feature.

Which XTS does Edmunds recommend?
The XTS V-Sport is a comfortable cruiser with immensely satisfying speed. It will no doubt catch your eye, but it may also catch the attention of your local highway patrol. Assuming you don't share our tolerance for traffic violations, we'd steer you to the Premium Luxury trim. Its extra standard features burnish the XTS' luxury sedan credentials and include 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.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Cadillac XTS Sedan
Driving
7.5The top-of-the-line XTS V-Sport Platinum offers enough dynamic chops to feel modern when driving at speed, which also seems out of character with the rest of the car. But with an evermore capable crop of luxury offerings in the segment, the V-Sport is losing ground in the area it shines brightest.
Comfort
7.5A quiet cabin and seats comfortable enough for long-distance cruising are Cadillac staples. The suspension also delivers a decent level of comfort but sacrifices some pillowiness for performance gains. We were pretty underwhelmed by the climate system, though, which is a bit of a surprise considering this is a Cadillac.
Interior
7.0For a car aimed at an older demographic, usability may be a challenge. The XTS suffers from a fussy tech interface, challenging visibility and a cabin that doesn't feel as roomy as it should. As with many large luxury sedans, the rear passengers likely have it best.
Utility
7.0The XTS boasts a trunk bigger than most close competitors and features rear-folding seats, which is rare in the large luxury sedan segment. But the Cadillac loses ground with a high liftover and narrow walls. Small-item cabin storage is also somewhat lacking, but not due to effort.
Technology
7.5Cadillac may not have the best user interface, but when it comes to technology and connectivity it offers a decent package. The audio system gets creative with seat-mounted speakers, and OnStar provides off-board support for many of the systems below. We found the cameras to be most useful.
