Based on General Motors’ new rear-wheel-drive Sigma
architecture, which also is the foundation for Cadillac’s entry-luxury
CTS sedan, CTS V-series high-performance sedan, and SRX luxury
performance utility – the STS is designed to compete head-on with
world-renowned prestige sedans in markets around the globe.
“Our
long-term goal for Cadillac is to become the Standard of the World once
again,” said Mark LaNeve, general manager for Cadillac. “In order to
succeed globally, we have to build vehicles that have outstanding
performance, exceptional quality and reliability, and meet the demands
of the most discerning car buyers. “The STS represents the latest step
in that direction.”
From its
Cadillac-signature bold exterior styling to its outstanding power and
road capabilities, the STS is the product of unwavering attention to
detail. More than 1,000 criteria points have been strictly adhered to
throughout development of the vehicle. The result is outstanding fit and
finish, overall harmony, refined performance and purposeful innovation.
Premium
materials and fabrics are used throughout the interior. Dual-firmness
Tuscany all-leather seats, available as heated and ventilated, are
specially tanned for a softer feel. Spray-skinned urethane/natural
grained surfaces on the door and instrument panel ensure an inviting,
tactile touch, as do the headliner and interior pillars, which are soft
backed and covered with a Monaco woven fabric.
In terms of
performance, the STS will be available with a 255-horsepower 3.6L V-6 in
a rear-drive configuration, or the 320-horsepower Northstar 4.6L V-8 in
both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations. Both engines incorporate
variable valve timing (VVT) and are mated to widely acclaimed 5-speed
automatic transmissions with Driver Shift Control.
