The Cadillac DeVille marries the brand’s aura with the luxury and craftsmanship of some of the finest luxury sedans. Due to its flagship status, the Cadillac DeVille has several positives, such as a luxurious cabin, soft and stable ride quality, and an array of safety features. Additionally, the automobile has a powerful engine and a smooth automatic gearbox. Here are some significant highlights if you are interested in buying the Cadillac DeVille.

Exterior & interior
The overall exterior design of the Cadillac DeVille is more stately than flashy, which befits a car its size. The Cadillac DeVille features large clustered headlamps and a chrome-tinged egg crate grille that gives it a distinctive look. Its other design elements, such as its turn-signal indicators incorporated into its side mirrors, its understated straight lines along the side, its large 16 (or 17-inch) alloys, and its tail lamp design, take this stately design language forward.  The interior of the Cadillac DeVille is roomy and features premium materials. The features and materials used in the interior are different across its three variants – the standard variant, DHS, and DTS performance variant. For example, a split front bench seat comes standard in the base and DHS variants, while the range-topping DTS variant comes with front bucket seats and a floor-mounted gear shift lever. Regarding passenger space, the front and rear seats offer ample back and thigh support, while headroom and legroom across all versions are more than enough for occupants of all heights. The DeVille’s boot has a capacity of 19.1 cubic feet, and the boot lid has a low liftover for the effortless loading of cargo.

Performance & fuel economy
The base and DHS variant of the Cadillac DeVille come with a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine that produces 275 horsepower. In contrast, the performance-oriented DTS version comes with a tuned version of the same engine, which now has 290 horsepower. All the engines are connected to a four-speed automatic gearbox. While it can run on normal fuel, Cadillac recommends using premium gasoline to get peak economy and performance from DeVille’s powerful engine. The DTS can sprint from 0-60 mph in 7.3 seconds due to its punchy engine, while the base and DHS variants do so within 7.4 seconds each. The top speed of the automobile is 112 mph.  Regarding fuel economy, the base and DHS versions return 18 mpg and 26 mpg on city roads and highways, respectively. On the other hand, the more powerful DTS version returns 17 mpg and 24 mpg on city roads and highways, respectively.

Ride & handling
The ride quality of the Cadillac DeVille is supple and steady. Its suspension irons out most vibrations and bumps, keeping it steady in even undulation-filled roads. The DeVille’s rigid chassis is integral to its firm but comfortable ride quality. The vehicle scores well in the noise insulation department too. Its docile ride and chassis help to keep external noise filtering into the cabin at a bare minimum. As unlikely as it is for a large saloon, the Cadillac DeVille’s handling is highly engaging and controlled too. Its steering system offers good feedback from the road to its driver. The steering is quick, precise, and direct, making the car a joy to handle, even in tight corners and twisty roads.

Safety features & price
The Cadillac DeVille has an ultrasonic rear parking assist system for safe reversing during parking in tight spaces. All versions get frontal airbags, while the side-impact airbags are standard for front-row occupants and optional for rear-seat ones. Besides, features such as Anti-lock brakes (ABS), seatbelt pretensioners, and a security system to prevent vehicle intrusion are standard. The Cadillac DeVille comes in the price range of $4,000 to $12,000 (subject to fluctuations).
