The Cadillac BLS is a compact executive car designed specifically for the European market by the Cadillac marque of General Motors. The car is based on GM's Epsilon architecture and is built in the same plant in Trollhättan, Sweden, that builds the Saab 9-3 and the Saab 9-5. Sales began on March 2006, with a station wagon joining the line for 2007. Though originally designed for the European market, the BLS was introduced to the Arabian, Mexican, South African, and South Korean markets for the 2007 model year.

Features

A range of engines are available in the BLS: one diesel engine, a 1.9 L turbocharged four-cylinder, one petrol engine a 2.8 L turbocharged V6, and one petrol engine a 2.0 L available with two power levels.
