2011 Cadillac DTS Review
Overview
A commanding Presence! Sharp refined lines a host of technological advancements and contemporary Cadillac signature styling create a uniquely commanding presence. All equals the 2011 Cadillac DTS. An available 292 horsepower Northstar V8 engine and Magnetic Ride Control offer dramatic evidence that DTS has the power and presence to put you in control of the road. The suspension system’s advanced sensors read the road up to one thousand times a second and then automatically apply necessary dampening forces so you’ll experience an astounding ride quality and improved handling. DTS projects a confident presence on the road. Much of that confidence comes from safety systems that protect the driver and passengers from virtually every angle. The 2011 Cadillac DTS was designed to deliver effortless luxury along with advanced personalization. From the moment you get behind the wheel you’ll know this is your performance luxury sedan.
