The Cadillac STS is a luxury vehicle that was produced by the manufacturer Cadillac between autumn 2004 and mid-2011.

history

The STS replaced the Seville model series in autumn 2004 , and was first presented formally at NYIAS 2004. Its name originally stood for Seville Touring Sedan or Sport Touring Sedan . In doing so, he followed the new Cadillac nomenclature, which only uses abbreviations as model names. Like the first generation CTS , GM built it on the Sigma platform . In contrast to the old Seville, the STS was supposed to look sportier and was compared with the BMW 5 Series and the Infiniti M45 .

A new STS product cost US $ 47,495 on the American market and around € 47,000 on the German market. A version of the STS with a 100 mm longer wheelbase was offered on the Chinese market under the name Cadillac SLS

The engines for the STS were initially a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine, which achieved a maximum output of 239 kW (325 hp), and a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 189 kW (257 hp) ). In Europe, the STS was Cadillac's top model within the luxury class , while in the USA the role was given to the DTS.

The STS-V , which has a 4.4 liter V8 engine with 345 kW (469 hp) maximum power, was added shortly after its introduction.

Facelift

In autumn 2007 the STS was given a facelift for the 2008 model year , which included a modified radiator grille, a new rear bumper and a revised interior as well as new features (such as lane change assistant and a lane departure warning system ); the 3.6-liter V6 engine now had a maximum output of 222 kW and direct injection . The facelift was formally presented at NYIAS 2007. In addition, there was a new 3.6 liter V6 engine from October 2009 for the 2010 model year, which now had a maximum output of 225 kW.
