The 2005 Cadillac XLR is an elegant blend of luxury and performance within the premium roadster segment. Built off the same platform as the Corvette, the XLR impresses with its sharp, angular design and a 4.6L Northstar V8 engine producing 320 hp mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The XLR was only made available in a single, well-equipped trim level, with slick features like adaptive cruise control, keyless access with push-button start, a head-up display, and a retractable hardtop. Its Magnetic Ride Control suspension system adapts to road conditions for the ideal ride quality. Inside, the XLR combines modern tech with comfort, featuring an infotainment system with navigation and a premium Bose sound system, while the leather-upholstered seats offer heating and cooling. Safety features include ABS, traction control, and front side airbags.
