The 2004 Cadillac XLR, a luxurious and sporty two-door roadster, marked the return of Cadillac to the convertible market after a 30-year absence. Built on the same platform as the Corvette, the XLR offered a powerful and agile driving experience, blending American muscle with European elegance. Its sleek design, characterized by a long hood, low-slung profile, and distinctive vertical taillights, was a departure from the traditional Cadillac aesthetic, embracing a more modern and dynamic look. Under the hood, the XLR boasted a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine, generating 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. This combination provided a thrilling acceleration and a smooth, refined ride, while the retractable hardtop offered the convenience of a coupe and the open-air exhilaration of a convertible.

Inside, the XLR catered to the discerning driver, featuring premium leather upholstery, wood trim, and a comprehensive suite of features. Heated and ventilated seats, a Bose premium audio system, and a navigation system ensured passenger comfort and entertainment. Safety was paramount, with features such as traction control, stability control, and multiple airbags. Despite its luxurious appointments, the XLR also showcased a sportier side with a taut suspension and responsive steering, making it a capable performer on both winding roads and open highways. The 2004 Cadillac XLR was a compelling blend of luxury, performance, and style, offering a unique driving experience that solidified Cadillac's position as a leading luxury brand in the early 2000s.
