After making its debut in 2006 as the Deville's more stylish replacement, what would the 4 door Cadillac DTS do for an encore in '07? The luxury sedan got some cosmetic touches in the form of 5 new colors for the exterior, chrome wheels, and a redesigned analog clock. Otherwise, the DTS still caters to an older, more established crowd with its understated elegance.
The DTS has 4 trims: the Sedan, Luxury 1, Luxury 2, and Performance. The first 3 use a 4.6 L, 275 hp, V8 engine and seat 6 while the Performance uses a 4.6 L, 292 hp V8 and seats 5. All 4 have 4 speed automatic transmission. Gas consumption across trims comes out to 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, leather seats, power seats, cd player, navigation system, ABS brakes, and traction control. In addition, the DTS holds 18.8 cubic feet in the trunk.
Overall, drivers believe the DTS has adequately replaced the Deville as Cadillac's signature large luxury sedan. The roomy interior and solid handling make for an impressive driving experience. While some would like more gas mileage and more speeds in the transmission, no one denies that the DTS constitutes a worthy addition to the Cadillac family.
