Cadillac DTS Presidental Limo

The front-wheel drive DTS was manufactured at GM's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly factory from July 2005 through May 2011.[4] Base price of the entry DTS at time of introduction was US$41,195 ($51,618 in current dollars) which was over 10% lower than the DeVille model it had replaced. One major feature change from the DeVille to the DTS was the elimination of standard 6-passenger seating configuration for non-limousine models. However, such capability remains an optional feature for fleet clients.[5] Even though priced less than the rear-wheel drive STS, the DTS is longer than the STS.

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 new DTS Platinum edition was released in 2007 with special interior trim, badging, and other luxury amenities.

The DTS incorporates the updated GM G-platform (GM chose to continue referring to it as the K platform,[1] as denoted by the 4th letter in the VIN), and is powered by a transverse[6] 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.[3] GM phased out all GM fender badges from vehicles during the 2010 model year, including those on the Cadillac DTS.[7]
