Cadillac XTS Using LEDs to Add Upscale Ambiance

Cadillac will be launching its new XTS flagship sedan later this year, and it is starting to discuss more of the car's details. Cadillac has decided to use LED light sources inside and outside the vehicle to lend a feeling on upscale ambiance. 

Cadillac has included 20 light sources in the XTS. These include LEDs embedded into the door handles and vertical LED running lights in the headlights. There are also LEDs in the tail lights and embedded around the vehicle to light the car's perimeter when drivers approach. 

“The new LED offerings now provide a new palette of color to bring more dramatic lighting effects that have never been available before,” said Christos Roustemis, Cadillac interior designer.

Inside it uses LEDs to light the instruments, and it has provide white and blue accent lights. Cadillac even worked to make sure the light emanating from LCD screen would not bother drivers in the night. 

The XTS will be out later this year, and it will take the roll of the STS and DTS in Cadillac's lineup.
