The public wondered how Cadillac could top the changes it made to the Seville in 1992. In 1993, Cadillac took the 4.6 L, 295 hp V8 Northstar engine from the 1993 Allante and transplanted it into the Seville STS. The change resulted in the best handling and performance the Seville had ever delivered to its consumers. This midsize sedan still came in 2 trims: the STS and the STD, which used the same 4.9 L, 200 hp V8 from the previous year. Otherwise, both trims come with 4 speed automatic transmission and deliver 16 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, and ABS brakes. Leather seats come optional on the STD and standard on the STS while sunroof comes optional on both trims. The Seville has 4 doors and seats 5. In short, drivers say that the 1993 Seville has it all: power, handling, and performance. Reviewers especially like the new Northstar engine in the STS. However, they also warn that the transmission requires extra maintenance and that repairs can get expensive. Despite these issues, the 1993 Cadillac Seville further confirmed the renaissance that the franchise experienced in the early to mid '90's.
