The first pictures of the facelifted 2018 Cadillac
XTS have surfaced in China. The images reveal the full-size
sedan will receive a new front fascia that is heavily inspired by newer models
such as the CT6 and XT5. The changes are immediately noticeable and include a
new grille, restyled headlights, and a revised bumper with larger air intakes.
The updated styling carries over to the rear as
designers installed a new trunk which is flanked by L-shaped taillights. The
rear license plate bracket also moves to the rear bumper, while the spoiler has
been enlarged.
It remains unclear if the cabin will receive any
styling tweaks but we'll likely see some technology updates at the very least.
Engine options could carryover and include a familiar 3.6-liter V6 that
produces 304 hp and 357 Nm of torque. There should also be
a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 that develops 410 hp and 500 Nm of torque.
