When the brand-new 2013 Cadillac XTS full-size sedan arrives at U.S. dealerships later this spring, it will have a starting MSRP of $44,995 (€33,980) including destination, GM announced today.

The XTS will be offered exclusively with a 300HP 3.6-liter V6 engine linked to a six-speed automatic transmission that drives the front wheel, with an all-wheel drive system using Haldex technology to transfer power front-to-back, and side-to-side along the rear axle, being an option.

According to Cadillac, the front-wheel drive XTS returns an estimated fuel economy of 17mpg city and 28mpg highway, while the AWD model, 17mpg and 27mpg respectively.

The XTS will be available in trio of trim grades named Luxury, Premium and Platinum, with the latter including bespoke contents such as a unique front appearance, wheels and interior colors, materials and trim.

Cadillac says it will release full pricing and specs closer to the car’s launch date.
