2008 Cadillac DTS Review, Pictures and Video
In 2006, Cadillac replaced their popular Deville full-size luxury sedan with the Cadillac DTS. The DTS draws design schemes from models such as the STS sedan, but delivers it in a full-size package. The DTS comes in a base model, performance model and a platinum model. Along with new colors and customization, the 2008 DTS acquires some exciting changes.
The inner quarters of the DTS are a comfortable, spacious and convenient bundle of amenities. You can opt for two front bucket seats or the front bench seat, which bumps up the max-occupancy to six passengers. The standard dual-zone automatic climate control keeps the contents of the DTS delightful and the optional tri-zone system will furthers the customization of internal conditions. With the high caliber audio system, heated seats and sunroof, the extravagance of riding inside the DTS is hard to overlook.
The driver also has a group of goodies available. The Driver Information Center includes various vehicle diagnostics as well as warning and status messages. The Navigation System is touch-screen and works with voice-recognition. The driver is inherited with technologies such as Electronic cruise control and a sonar parking assist; Magnetic Ride Control and the Electronic Stability System improve ride quality. The 2008 model also has the new Lane Departure Warning and Side Blind Zone Alert systems to supply extra ease for the driving experience.
The 2008 DTS comes with six standard airbags that include side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags and frontal airbags. The new dual depth frontal airbag system deploys the airbag with force that is appropriate for the crash severity. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System, all-disc antilock brakes, the new Side Blind Zone Alert and Land Departure Stability all add to the safety provided for this full-size sedan.
