The 2003 Cadillac DeVille is Cadillac's largest offering
to the luxury car market. With refined styling and a racer's
heart, the Deville embodies the grace and quality of the
luxury car market. In fact, Cadillac and the Deville has
an important place as one of icons of our time, representative
of class and style. The following will show that the 2003
does not simply rest on the laurels of its predecessors.
Available Models
The 2003 Cadillac DeVille is offered in a Base, DHS and
DTS set with rising levels of luxury and performance. A
variety of additional options are also available to the
consumer with specific desires or functional considerations.
Interior Features
The 2003 Cadillac DeVille has a spacious interior that will
accommodate five adults very comfortably on the plush leather
upholstery. Tri-zone automatic climate controls mean that
they can control their environment at the touch of a button
while the interior air filter and excellent exterior sound-damping
qualities lend to an extraordinarily comfortable and quiet
ride, insulated from the world outside the windows.
Not surprisingly, most any feature you can think of is
equipped on the 2003 Cadillac DeVille Base model; AM/FM/cassette/CD
player, OnStar System, a power tilt/telescoping leather-wrapped
steering wheel with radio, climate and cruise controls and,
of course, a memory system with seat, mirrors, steering
wheel, climate control and radio presets.
One level up, to the DHS model, gives a Bose AM/FM/weatherband/cassette/CD
player, rain-sensing wipers, heated front seats, analog
instruments, a power rear window sunshade and, to top it
all off, front seat lumbar massage!
The DTS or DeVille Touring Sedan, is a little more oriented
toward road-trip functionality. It takes away the memory
settings, rear seat lumbar adjustment and some other comfort
features but it adds the Continuously Variable Road-Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS) for interior comfort.
Exterior Features
The 2003 Cadillac DeVille DTS has fog lights, alloy wheels
and classic styling for 2003, replacing the chrome alloy
wheels standard on the DHS.
Performance
Northstar engines continue to power the Cadillac line, with
the DeVille Base and DHS possessing a dohc 4.6-liter V8
that pumps out 275 hp at 5600 rpm and 300 lb-ft of torque
at 4000 rpm. The DTS has a faster 4.6-liter/ 279-cu. inch
Northstar V8 with 300 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 295 lb-ft
of torque at 4400 rpm. Both have 4-speed automatic transmission
capable of 18/27 mpg, (city/hwy).
All three models have traction control and the DTS model
features stability control and the previously mentioned
CVRSS.
Safety and Security
Both models address safety with dual front and side airbags,
antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, an antiskid system and optional
on the DHS and DTS models, an infrared night driving system.
Rear-obstacle detection and additional airbags are also
available and a separate navigation system with 6.5-inch
dashboard screen is newly available as an option on the
base edition. This screen has voice recognition and can
play DVDs, providing the transmission is in Park.
