The full-size DeVille sedan receives a number of upgrades for 2004. New additions include heated and cooled front seats paired with a heated steering wheel and an electronic parking-brake release. The base trim will now offer Cadillac's Night Vision visibility feature as an option, and an armor-clad version of the sedan is now available in either standard or stretched wheelbase versions.
The DeVille continues to earn praise for its smooth and powerful Northstar V8 mill, a feature enhanced by the sedan's surprisingly nimble handling abilities. Inside, the DeVille's expansive cabin offers plush and inviting seating and well-placed controls. Ergonomics include a very user-friendly navigation system. However, while the DeVille name certainly offers longevity, its dated styling and lower-quality interior materials drop it a tier below the other offerings in this segment.
The sedan enters its second-to-last year of production in 2004, with Cadillac planning to discontinue the DeVille after 2005. For now, the DeVille is split into three trim levels: Base, DHS, and DTS. The Base model offers the expected Cadillac amenities, while the two upper level trims each have a niche. The DHS is an abbreviation for "DeVille High Luxury Sedan," and the DTS is the "DeVille Touring Sedan." The DHS has unique upscale features, like heated/massaging rear seats and a rear sunshade, while the DTS is differentiated by performance enhancements like stability control, an active suspension, and magnetic variable-assist steering.
GM's OnStar assistance and a tire-pressure monitor are standard on all trims, while rear-obstacle detection, satellite radio, and a navigation system are optional across the board. The navigation system utilizes voice-recognition technology and will play DVDs on the dashboard screen when the vehicle is stationary.
There are two engine options in the DeVille lineup. The Base and DHS house a 4.6-liter V8 that produces 275 horsepower, while the DHS gets an enhanced version of this engine, good for 300 horsepower. Both powerplants are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy is reasonable for such a large car, with an EPA estimate of 17/26 mpg.

(16 reviews)This is my 3rd Cadillac and it has not disappointed. The power and handling are impressive for a car or this size and weight class. I think most people who are commenting on the "size" of this car must be a bit younger and did not grow up driving large vehicles. Lets just say that this is one of the last truly full size luxury sedans out there and does exactly what it was meant to do... The overall handling and performance is more than adequate. The Northstar engine is very fast off the mark considering the weight it has to move and the braking is excellent assuming you do your maintenance. (don't skimp and buy the cheep brake pads...remember you're stopping over 4,000lbs!) The exterior/interior styling is what you expect from Cadillac and everything is laid out with the driver in mind. The ride is smooth and quiet. I especially appreciate the heated and cooled seats as I live in a northern climate ans have a dark gray interior. Overall a great car, excellent safety features, drives and handles nicely and looks good too!
Great performance, handling, acceleration when needed is there, low maintenance, parts not overly expensive to buy great styling inside and out, lots of room wonderful gas mileage for a big car, great bonus great car to drive long distance, very comfortable
Love everything about it, the engine, leather seats, power all around, the trunk space, the ride, heated seats, the looks of it, also the color scheme goes very well the interior color, hard to find these classics with low miles
I've had the car for about a year and its gotten up to 164k miles with few problems. Had an oil leak issue, o2 sensor go bad but overall pretty decent value for the price I paid. I just wish it was a bit sportier
A big car for a big man/woman or family. Luxury, comfort and prestige. Very reliable with the exception of the window regulators. I've had to replace window regulators on every Cadillac sedan I have every owned including 3 on this model.
