Presence and poise above all.
Elegant in design and contemporary in technology, the 2011 Cadillac DTS offers a unique and exceptional driving experience. Full-size in every way, the V8-powered DTS is the largest sedan in the Cadillac family. DTS combines the traditional Cadillac virtues – impressive stature, a spacious, superbly equipped cabin and authoritative yet graceful performance – with thoroughly modern features designed to elevate your safety, enjoyment and peace of mind to new heights. The end result is a luxury sedan for the ages – timeless, yet completely up to the minute. |

A modern classic.
Fashion fades. Genuine style, as embodied in the Cadillac DTS, endures. DTS’s sweeping horizontal lines, elegant surfaces and crisp intersections stand apart from the crowd. This distinctiveness continues in the car’s bold details, including such premium touches as vertical Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, fast-illuminating LED tail lights, quad exhaust outlets and sculpted alloy wheels. It’s worth noting, too, that the DTS body is as efficient as it is beautiful. Thanks to painstaking refinement in the wind tunnel, its aerodynamic drag measures just 0.32, which contributes to the car’s performance and the peace and quiet you enjoy in the sumptuous interior. |

DTS’s impressive reputation is built in large part on its generous cabin dimensions, supportive, comfortable seats and quiet, controlled ride. There’s abundant head, leg and shoulder room front and rear. The seats are extraordinarily welcoming; thanks to padding that utilizes a dual firmness strategy. In the upper portion of the seatbacks, soft cushioning for your shoulders provides optimal comfort, while firmer materials in the seat cushions and lower seatbacks deliver the support you need to help keep you feeling fresh and relaxed. For an even higher level of comfort, the standard eight-way power front bucket seats also feature power lumbar adjusters. |
 |
In the DTS cabin, attention to detail is in evidence everywhere you look. The gauges and controls are both cleanly styled and supremely logical. Chrome and aluminum trim adds visual accents, and can be complemented by burled walnut on the instrument panel, console and doors if you so choose. There’s also a choice of three premium leathers – the most in DTS’s class* – including available Teh-ama aniline skins so supple, they’re typically found only on the finest home furniture. For the ultimate in year-round comfort, heated and cooled front bucket seats are available. |
 |
For DTS owners, being out of town doesn’t mean being out of touch. Available Bluetooth® mobile phone integration makes for easy hands-free calling. XM Satellite RadioTM* is standard, and DTS is the only car in its class with the convenience and security of OnStar® and one year of OnStar’s Directions and Connections Plan.** DTS is also equipped to create an intimate connection between you and your favorite music. An excellent eight-speaker Bose® audio system is standard equipment. If you prefer, you can choose a DVD Navigation System featuring a 15-speaker Bose 5.1 Studio Surround® system that ranks with the very best automotive sound systems in the world. |
 |
In the DTS cabin, noise is kept to an absolute minimum by a host of advanced features, including a body structure
that makes extensive use of sound-absorbing steel. As a result, you enjoy a tranquil, relaxing ride. The near total
lack of background noise also makes DTS an ideal environment in which to listen to your favorite music.
The superb standard audio system features XM Satellite RadioTM,* a CD player, eight premium speakers and an
auxiliary input jack for an iPod® or other MP3 player. For still greater listening pleasure, an in-dash six-disc CD
changer system is available, as is a DVD Navigation System featuring the aural purity of Digital Signal Processing. |
 |
The most luxurious full-size Cadillac sedan ever, DTS Platinum Edition takes style, comfort and exclusivity to extremes. In DTS Platinum, you and your fortunate companions ride on premium Tuscany full leather seats in a cabin trimmed with genuine Light Ash wood accents. In addition to the seats, the steering wheel, console and instrument panel are covered in leather exquisitely crafted with French seams. Specific exterior badging and chrome accents, a high-tech Magnetic Ride Control® suspension, unique eighteen-inch chrome-tech wheels, a power sunroof, a DVD Navigation System and a host of other premium features complete the package. |
 |
Muscular V8 engine power is integral to the full-size Cadillac luxury sedan tradition, and in the 2011 DTS, this proud heritage is alive and well. The Northstar V8 is a highly refined luxury powerplant – smooth and quiet, with a deep reserve of power. The standard engine produces a generous 275 horsepower and 295 pounds-feet of torque – enough for sparkling performance, even with a full complement of passengers on board. There’s also an available high-output 292-horsepower version that puts even more performance at your disposal. Impressively, the Northstar V8 is engineered to require only infrequent maintenance, thanks to a host of long-life components, including Mobil 1® synthetic lubricant. |

It’s the ride of your life.
With a rigid, computer-designed body structure, long wheelbase and meticulously tuned four-wheel independent suspension, DTS spoils its occupants with a ride that’s controlled, compliant and supremely comfortable. Yet in the curves, it handles with a kind of agility that’s remarkable for this class of car. DTS Platinum adds an advanced Magnetic Ride Control suspension system, which assesses road and driving conditions and adjusts the shock absorbers up to 1000 times per second to ensure precisely the right damping characteristics in every situation. Every DTS also features the control and confidence of a four-wheel disc anti-lock braking system. |
 |
DTS enhances your safety, convenience and comfort with some of today’s most advanced technologies. Take, for example, the standard electronic stability control system, known as StabiliTrak®, which helps keep you traveling in your intended direction during evasive maneuvers and when driving on slippery surfaces like ice or snow. In the process, it reduces your risk of a fatal single-car crash by a tremendous 36 percent.* Other notable technologies available on DTS include Bluetooth® mobile phone connectivity, Adaptive Cruise Control and IntelliBeamTM, which automatically selects high- or low-beam headlights when appropriate to optimize your vision at night. |
 |
A concern for safety is one of the best reasons to choose DTS. DTS’s focus on protection starts with systems designed to help you avoid collisions whenever possible. These include such standard and available safety technologies as StabiliTrak, full-range traction control, a Lane Departure Warning system and Side Blind Zone Alert, which warns you whenever another vehicle is traveling in your blind spot. Should a crash prove inevitable, another set of features comes into play to help reduce your chance of injury. Energy-absorbing front and rear crush zones, a safety cage surrounding the passenger compartment and DTS’s six standard air bags all fit into this category. Remarkably, your DTS will even continue to act in your interest after a crash is over. Should your air bags deploy, the car will automatically alert the OnStar® Centre so their expert advisors can dispatch the necessary emergency services.* |
