The BLS is Cadillac's small luxury car designed specifically for the European market. 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 begin in March, 2006, with a station wagon joining the line for 2007. The BLS starts at approxiamtely 27,000 Euros (roughly $30,000).
A range of engines are available in the BLS, including two diesel engines, a 1.9 L turbo four cylinder and a 2.8 L turbo V6. At 184.25 inches in overall length, the BLS is almost six inches shorter than the CTS, the smallest Cadillac available in the United States.

Second generation
In 2005, General Motors vice chairman, Robert Lutz, announced that a second-generation BLS would be sold worldwide starting in 2010. It will probably be built alongside the next-generation 9-3 in Rüsselsheim, Germany, and may also be produced in the United States.
