The Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan or D-Series Touring Sedan) is a full-size luxury notchback sedan that was produced by Cadillac. The DTS replaced the Cadillac DeVille as Cadillac's largest luxury car for the 2006 model year. This renaming followed new styling conventions set by the earlier CTS and STS. The DTS remained in production until 2011, when it was replaced by the XTS.
The first version of the DTS was initially shown at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show on February 9.
The DTS was manufactured at GM's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly factory from July 2005 through May 2011. The "Luxury" models were priced at US$46,280 for the 2010 model. Even though priced lower than the rear-wheel drive STS flagship, the DTS is longer than the STS.
One major feature change from the DeVille to the DTS was the elimination of the standard 6-passenger seating configuration for non-limousine models. However, such capability remains an optional feature for fleet clients. It had a square clock but circular gauges.
The DTS incorporates the updated GM G-platform, however GM chose to continue referring to it as the K platform; as denoted by the 4th letter in the VIN, and is powered by the 32V Northstar V8, which produces 275 bhp (205 kW) in "Standard", "Luxury" and "Premium" trims. The DTS "Platinum" is equipped with 292 bhp (218 kW) version. The DTS has standard industry features including multiple airbags, bi functional xenon high-intensity discharge HID headlamps, leather seating, and power seats. Options include navigation system, Magnetic Ride Control (magnetic ride control on performance models only), moonroof, chrome wheels, heated/cooled seats, and a heated steering wheel. A fully loaded DTS costs approximately $55,000(US) depending on color choice and options. A new DTS Platinum Edition was released in 2007 with special interior trim, badging and other luxury features. GM phased out all GM badges from vehicles on the 2010.5 models, including the Cadillac DTS.
