Cadillac XTS’s Interior Design Goes with the Grain



Exotic woods provide dash of elegance on luxury sedan’s cabin surfaces

Sapele, a sustainable, fast-growing wood known for giving acoustic guitars a little extra zing is one of several veneers making beautiful music with leather and other surface materials in the current lineup of Cadillac cars.

Sapele in tones of “nutella” brown and “raven” black add a dash of elegance to the 2014 Cadillac XTS’s award-winning interior design. Other high-gloss and open-pore wood trims such as black marble burl, black olive ash, okapi contra, smoked laurel burl and real “piano black” raven wood accent other Cadillac interiors.
