2004 Cadillac XLR

Autohaus of Naples is proud to offer this striking and rare 2004 Cadillac XLR — a high-tech, luxury grand tourer that combines Cadillac’s legendary comfort and elegance with Corvette-based performance engineering. As the debut year for the XLR, this car marked a bold new chapter for the brand — a flagship convertible built on the C5 Corvette platform, wrapped in cutting-edge design, and loaded with innovation that was years ahead of its time.

Powering the XLR is Cadillac’s Northstar 4.6L DOHC V8, delivering 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission with driver shift control. Acceleration is confident and smooth, with a 0–60 time under 6 seconds — impressive for a car that prioritizes refinement as much as raw power. Built on GM’s Y-platform — the same as the Corvette — the XLR benefits from a lightweight hydroformed aluminum chassis, a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and Magnetic Ride Control suspension, which adapts in real time to road conditions for exceptional handling and ride comfort.

This Cadillac wasn’t just built to perform — it was built to impress. The exterior is crisp, angular, and unmistakably modern, with sharp lines, jewel-like headlights, and a power-retractable hardtop roof that transforms from coupe to convertible in under 30 seconds. Finished in a rich, metallic paint and sitting on factory 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, this XLR stands out as a unique and sophisticated alternative to traditional European luxury roadsters.

Slide into the cabin, and you’ll discover a driver-focused interior wrapped in leather, eucalyptus wood trim, and brushed aluminum accents. The XLR was ahead of its time, offering advanced features like adaptive cruise control, heated and ventilated seats, push-button start, head-up display, navigation, BOSE premium audio, and a fully digital instrument cluster. Every surface feels purposeful and well-crafted, from the sculpted dash to the chrome-trimmed shift knob — a testament to Cadillac’s attention to detail and its ambition to redefine American luxury.

The 2004 model year is especially significant — this was the launch edition of the XLR, produced at the exclusive Bowling Green, Kentucky facility alongside the Corvette. With limited production numbers and its blend of performance DNA, convertible engineering, and Cadillac refinement, the XLR has become a modern classic. Clean, low-mileage examples are increasingly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts alike for their rarity, styling, and engineering pedigree.

Whether you’re looking for a high-tech cruiser with undeniable presence, a luxury convertible with a Corvette’s soul, or a standout addition to your collection — this 2004 Cadillac XLR delivers on every front. It’s quick, smooth, quiet, and luxurious — and when the top goes down, it’s pure drama in the best way possible.

At Autohaus of Naples, we hand-select vehicles that excite, inspire, and reward their drivers. If you're ready to experience the perfect harmony of performance and prestige — built proudly in America — it’s time to drive your dream.
