Cadillac decided to allow Europeans to enjoy the charms of the XTS Platinum Concept, so the company used the Geneva Auto Show to bring the concept to the Old Continent.

The vehicle has been designed to offer a high level of luxury, combining this with connectivity and efficiency, introducing optimized entertainment, navigation and information systems.

The power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 direct injection gasoline unit that works together with a plug-in hybrid system. The latter can use a standard electrical outlet to charge the battery. The list of other tech goodies includes a beefy braking system and a Magnetic Ride Control suspension system.

The vehicle’s cabin mixes high quality details, such as a top leather finish, with multiple connectivity features, which are offered for all the passengers.

The interior takes inspiration from nature, specifically the intricate layers of petals that combine to form an orchid. Cadillac designers translated that into a layered and detailed interior. Light cream is the cabin's primary color and is contrasted with darker elements, such as the steering wheel and an overhead console motif that runs the length of interior's roof,” stated the press release.

Premium leather seats include a new style of automotive suede, with a laser-etched pattern. The patterned material adorns the center sections of the seats and accents the door trim. Passengers in the spacious rear compartment of the Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept also have access to the car's connectivity feature, along with a range of infotainment choices.
