New Car Test Drive

The Cadillac DTS is a full-size luxury car with full-size American power and a warm, spacious interior. It's big, powerful and luxurious.

Its V8 engine develops 275 horsepower, and a higher-output version is available that delivers 292 horsepower. Though its styling is restrained, the DTS is loaded with technology. Yet you don't have to study the owner's manual to make the DTS do its job. This is a rational luxury car, easy to operate in addition to being large and luxurious. We like that.

The DTS offers impeccable road manners, with crisp handling and good grip that inspires composure and driving enjoyment on winding roads. It handles surprisingly well given its size. It takes turns with poise and dignity, making it an enjoyable steed when the road goes curvy. The DTS is front-wheel drive.

The current DTS was launched as a 2006 model, sporting fresh body lines, a redesigned interior, upgraded running gear, and suspension refinements. It replaced the 57-year-old DeVille nameplate.

Changes for 2009 are minor. There are three new colors. The outside rear-view mirrors have new turn-signal LEDs and clearer Side Blind Zone Alert icons, there is a new 17-inch, nine-spoke alloy wheel with a ChromeTech finish (optional), the disc brake rotors have a treatment that inhibits rust so they look better, and there are a few other additions and detail improvements.
