Ever wish you could change your name and start all over? That's pretty much what the Cadillac Deville did in 2006 by changing its name to the DTS and starting over as a new front wheel drive luxury sedan. The Cadillac DTS improves on the Deville with a refurbished interior, smoother ride, and high-tech extras including heated seats and advanced climate control.
The DTS uses a standard 4.6 L, 275 hp V8 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission and optional 4.6 L, 291 hp V8. Expect to get 17 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway. In addition, the DTS comes in 4 trims and has 4 doors, seats 5, and offers standard air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power/leather seats, cd player, ABS brakes, and traction control. Options include stability control, navigation system, and sunroof. The 291 hp V8 model goes from 0-60 mph in just under 7 seconds.
For now, it looks like the DTS has made an impressive debut in the eyes of experts and drivers alike. Consumers especially appreciate the new design, which should attract a broader demographic than the retirees you'd typically see cruising around in a Deville. Look for continuing updates as the DTS seeks to gain fans inside and outside the country.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Cadillac DTS appreciate its luxurious feel, smooth ride, and powerful V8 engine. Many drivers love the spacious interior and comfortable seating, highlighting the vehicle's ability to offer a high-end experience. However, some did express concerns about build quality and the need for regular maintenance as the car ages."
Very nice luxury ride. Comfortable, smooth. Lots a power with the V8
October 17, 2020Great car, the car has many features for the year. The car itself glides down the road effortlessly and has good gas mileage for the size and weight of the car. I highly recommend this car to any Caddy lover.
December 10, 2014Performance on the car with a terrificaly built Northstar V8, it has plenty of get-up with all the luxury you want. Braking is great with new brakes, though mine need tightening. This car is perfect all over, the car has no issues. The styling is modern but keeps with the classic Cadillac look and feel. It's an absolutely a great car, I love the feel of the wood and leather sterring wheel while going down the highway.

October 5, 2009You can not find any import that will compete with this American car, for overall performance, comfort, and reliability. The Northstar engine, has all the performance that anyone would need for a vehicle like this. Great acceleration, handles wells, very little body roll if any at all, talk about feeling safe when you are driving this is the car. Gas milage is wonderful for a full size, V8 vehicle.
August 29, 2014Luxurious and comfortable to say the least I highly recommend the Cadillac DTS 2006
April 21, 2021Bought the DTS for highway commuting. Pleasantly surprised that is nimble enough to get around town with ease. It's a big car but it has great driving dynamics and handling. It's comfortable but you still feel the road. Tons of subtle features that improve the driving experience. Also, it doesn't overwhelm you with distracting gadgets.
March 22, 2015The acceleration in this beast is incredible yet smooth you feel the push back but yet it sustains its comfortablility.The interior is very luxurious with a cherry wood finish and the outside states presedential.The car is very spacious and can seat six people comfortably.
October 28, 2010I like it, if only it was new...LOL The performance is great. Build Quality is not that great. Appearance is nice. Ownership is great if nothing breaks. The DTS is very fun to drive. I would recomend a Cadillac only if your going to buy it NEW, just because if somthing goes wrong with it then its covered un the warranty of the manufacturer.
September 19, 2008It's a Lac, do I have to say more? The car's performance is hot. 400 horsepower in a four door luxury sedan, them's Charger numbers people! Look, I'm not a big GM fan myself but who doesn't love a Cadilac. Beauty, Boldness, Luxurious, Powerful, and FAST! It's impossible not to love this car.
August 4, 2008As an American luxury automobile the vechile gets three star. But in the Japanese world their vechiles get five stars. This is my opinion but I have owned and driven both. There is a difference. The Japanese vechiles .tend to be more reliable and last longer on the mileage side . Thereby saving the owners in the long run.
