About Cadillac XLR
The Cadillac XLR is a front-engine, rear-drive, two-passenger roadster that was manufactured and marketed by Cadillac from 2003 to 2009 across a single generation. It is notable for its power retractable hardtop, interior instruments designed by Bulgari, head-up display, adaptive suspension marketed as Magnetic Ride Control, rear-mounted transmission, and near 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution. Production of the Cadillac XLR began in 2003 and ended in 2009. Cadillac’s flagship vehicle, the XLR, was previewed at the 2003 North American International Auto Show and went into production for the 2004 model year. The 1999 Evoq concept car served as a precursor to the production version of the XLR.
The Chevrolet Camaro and the Chevrolet Corvette are both built in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on the same GM Y platform. In addition, both cars have hydroformed perimeter frames and composite bodywork construction, but their exterior and interior designs, suspension settings, and engines are distinctively different from one another. The XLR was the first Cadillac to go into production with radar-based adaptive cruise control (ACC), and it was also the first Cadillac to have seats that could be heated as well as chilled.
The XLR was one of the vehicles considered for the title for North American Car of the Year in 2004.
The Cadillac XLR was positioned as a luxury open-top roadster and offered a wide variety of features, some of which came standard while others were available as add-ons. Some of these features included a touchscreen GPS navigation radio with an AM/FM radio, CD changer, XM Satellite Radio, full voice control, and a full Bose premium amplified audio system. Other features included adaptive cruise control, a Bulgari-branded instrument panel cluster, OnStar, High Intensity Discharge (HID) front headlamps, perforated luxury leather-trimmed seating surfaces with heating and ventilation, and High Intensity Discharge (HID) front headlamps.
The Adaptive Suspension System with Magnetorheological Shock Absorber Fluid that came standard on the XLR allowed for increased ride control. The system makes adjustments to the shock damping in a manner that is nearly instantaneous in response. It does this by employing four wheel-to-body displacement sensors, which measure how the wheels move over the road surface. The shock absorbers are filled with a fluid that responds to magnetic signals and contains suspended iron particles. In response, the system reacts by continuously monitoring motion and adjusting the damping forces at all four corners of the vehicle. This helps to modulate body motion when the vehicle is performing aggressive maneuvers or traveling over uneven road surfaces.
