'05 Cadillac STS

The 2005 Cadillac STS happens to be the flagship sedan manufactured by General Motors.

This sedan is held as one of the most outstanding productions from its manufacturer not only for its specifications, but also for the amount of technology that is incorporated within this vehicle. If one has to literally apply the term “packed to the brim” one has to refer to the state-of-the-art technological features in the 2005 STS.

The 2005 Cadillac STS boasts the utmost luxury and indomitable performance. A 3.6-liter V6 and a 4.6-liter are available options for engines. The rear-wheel drive trim is provided in all the models except the V8, which has an optional four-wheel drive.

The success of the 2005 STS in the market is specifically because this vehicle was designed while keeping in mind the requirements of American consumers. From the outstanding chassis dynamics to the audio entertainment package, the 2005 STS is fully equipped as a luxury sedan.

'08 Cadillac STS

The 2008 Cadillac STS finally livens up the performance of the V6 model by replacing the earlier V6 engine with the latest direct-injection V6 developed by General Motors. Lowered startup emissions rate happens to be just one of the perks about Cadillac’s flagship sedan, which implements other new features as well.

The '08 Cadillac STS gets a gusty 298 horsepower from the 3.6-liter V6 engine, the corresponding torque being 268lb-ft. An all-wheel drive is provided apart from the standard rear-wheel drive. The transmission for the new V6 engine is a six-speed automatic one.

One of the innovations introduced in the 2008 Cadillac STS is the lane departure alert system as a driving assist. The alert system for blind spots alerts drivers when vehicles appear at the sides. The StabiliTrak enhances handling on slippery roads in case one set of wheels loses traction. Every driving maneuver is monitored by automated systems to ensure a safe and impeccable driving experience.

'07 Cadillac STS

The 2007 Cadillac STS is basically one more step for Cadillac to creating the perfect luxury sport sedan. After all, only the perfect blend of performance, comfort and luxury can make such a vehicle world-class. The 2007 STS includes several revisions and enhancements since its immediate predecessor – the 2006 STS.

A 255hp 3.6-liter V6 engine with a five-speed automatic transmission is the primary powertrain in the 2007 STS V6. Alternatively, a six-speed transmission is provided along with a 4.6-liter 320hp V8 engine in the V8 trim level. Both of these trims have a rear-wheel drive, the supercharged STS-V coming with an all-wheel drive.

The 2007 Cadillac STS has all the systems a luxury sedan needs to ensure the perfect ride. An adaptive cruise control is coupled with the Magnetic Ride Control to allow drivers to master the vehicle in virtually every possible road condition. A power sunroof is an optional feature to add to the luxury model.


'06 Cadillac STS

Even though it is categorized as a midsize sedan, the 2006 Cadillac STS retains its reputation as the longer one among the two manufactured by Cadillac. The 2006 STS introduces the four-wheel drive trim in the V6 model as well. From performance to luxury, this sedan manages to keep its reputation as a world-class luxury vehicle.

The 2006 Cadillac STS incorporates the earlier V6 (3.6-liter 254hp) and the V8 (4.6-liter 320hp) engines in its base models. However, the most interesting addition is the STS-V, which has an incredible 469hp revved up by a V8 with superchargers. An automatic five-speed transmission is provided in the base models.

The 2006 STS has plenty of automatic features to guarantee a smooth and safe drive. The anti-lock braking system, the traction control and the anti-skid control are now joined by the skid-correction mechanism called the StabiliTrak. The shock absorbers automatically adjust themselves according to the road condition.
