The Cadillac DTS is a full-size luxury sedan that combines classic styling, impeccable road manners and a spacious interior, all contributing to its reputation as a comfortable long distance cruiser.

The front-wheel drive DTS is powered by GM's Northstar 4.6-liter V8 engine, available in both 275-hp and 292-hp versions and mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It can be configured to seat up to six people, with premium trim-dependent amenities that include alloy wheels, Xenon headlights, a power sunroof, supple leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, automatic climate control, satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, voice-activated navigation and a DVD player. An exclusive Platinum Collection trim is also offered, boasting an adaptive suspension with Magnetic Ride Control, unique chrome wheels and grille, upgraded interior trim elements and exclusive wood accents. Standard safety equipment includes Stabilitrak electronic stability control with traction control, anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, front side-impact airbags, overhead curtain airbags for front and rear passengers, a tire pressure monitor and OnStar service. An available Driver Awareness Package offers enhanced safety with Lane Departure Warning and Side Blind Zone Alert systems.

The Cadillac DTS carries over unchanged for 2011.

What sets the DTS apart the most from the old DeVille, however, is GM's value pricing, under which the sticker in the window comes closer to what people can expect to pay. -- Chicago Tribune

All models include standard front side-impact airbags, as well as front and rear side curtain airbags. Should you need assistance in an emergency (or just need tickets to the basketball game), GM's OnStar communications system comes standard. Parking sensors are also available. -- Edmunds.com

Opt for Luxury III and there's genuine burled walnut interior trim, massaging front seats, Bose premium audio system, "rainsense" wipers and chrome wheels. -- MSN Autos

Both V8s get nearly the same estimated fuel economy. It's 17 in the city and 25 on highways with the 275-horsepower version and 17 and 24 with the higher-horsepower V8. -- MSN Autos

With its new vertical headlamps and taillamps and redesigned egg-crate grille, the DTS acquires the design language of the Cadillac family and a freshened, modern appearance. -- New Car Test Drive
