Although there have been intentions failed to offer Cadillac diesel models, which not only did not help the brand, but in part be caused Americans with antibodies for diesel engines.

The Cadillac BLS is a model mechanically similar to an Opel Vectra or a Saab 9-3; manufactured in the same premises as the 9-3 and with the same range of engines.

It is the first Cadillac with diesel engine and, by finishing quality, price and equipment, can resemble an Audi A4, BMW 3 Series or a Jaguar X-Type, plus a Saab 9-3. It differs from a Saab 9-3 mainly because his style exterior and interior (but inside there are some common elements).

The range of Cadillac BLS consists of four engines (three petrol and two Diesel), all of them turbocharged. The petrol are 175, 209 and 256 hp. The Diesel has 150 hp and 180 hp power.

All the dashboard is made of plastic and foam, a material that many brands reserved for the most visible. Also this material is the interior lining of the doors, even at its lowest part, which is normally hard plastic and little treaty.
