4. 2014 Cadillac XTS Luxury Package

While not awe inspiring, the Cadillac XTS is impressively equipped with a 304-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine that makes 264 lb.-ft. of torque and helps the XTS to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.3-seconds, which is not terrible for a luxury level sedan. What the XTS lacks in performance prowess it makes up for in classic Cadillac exterior styling. The Luxury Package includes large chrome dual exhaust outlets through the rear fascia, 19-inch wheels, Xenon headlights, LED lighting accents, illuminated door handles, rain sensing windshield wipers, a rear-view camera, and an automated parking system. Inside luxurious wood grain interior accents abound, along with leather and suede seating, which is heated and powered in every way possible, dual-zone climate control keeps all of the occupants comfortable, and an 8-inch center mounted LCD touchscreen display controls premium audio, communication, and connectivity functions. The XTS is a front-wheel drive luxury sedan that measures 17-feet in length, yet it handles like a much smaller car, due primarily to its adaptive suspension package.
