The New 2011 Cadillac STS

The new 2011 model Cadillac STS has been one sure car that has been a competitor for a lot of those cars on the European market today even against some of those expensive sedans available today.

The engines are going to be a little more competitive with this STS engine than the DTS but no-one really sees that the elegance and class over this car is actually there.

There is now not going to be the V-8 engine, it has been discontinued with is a little unfortunate at times because this was a good engine but now it has to be a lot more powerful.  That is the reason as to why it has been replaced with the V-6 engine to give it some more power.  This will have a gearbox that is consistent of the six speed automatic transmission which can help to deliver a smoother ride.

This has the great all wheel drive or that option anyway, however it can have the rear drive as a standard feature to this car which can help to be in the competition with other vehicles that come close to this STS.

The STS has got a good style however and when this is put up against the DTS which is a little bigger then the differences can be seen quite a lot.  There are a few new features to the car however which there will be a few people that will actually be willing to pay for some extras with the premium model.

This might actually be replaced by the XTS in the future though nothing has been decided.

This is really a sedan body work that is only going to have the V-6 3.6 liter engine with only a transmission of a six speed automatic.  There are a few models available for this however with the Performance, the Luxury, the Premium and the Base.

The old V-8 engine is now out of the 2011 model and replaced with the V-6 version but apart from that there is the same old style to the car which is a little disappointing.

The STS has been very much upgraded from the DTS version so now it is something almost in-between from the two art and science design of Cadillac.  However there are now not going to be any more massive changes to the exterior of the car which is not as great however but still the car is impressive enough.

The interior comes with some great leather seats, which also include the premium Bose stereo and the On Star option.  The STS also is equipped with Bluetooth and a navigation system if required though the automatic climate control and the satellite road comes with this car but again they are standard features to this STS.

When it comes to the performance and handling over this car, it can be a little more impressive than before.  This is going to not have the usual V-8 engine, which is now completely out of the picture so that means that the performance of the car has now only got the V-6 engine.  That comes with a massive three hundred and two of horsepower along with an impressive torque of three hundred and fifteen pound feet.  This is really bringing a lot of power to the car, the V-8 was powerful but this is now going to be a lot more with the V-6.

The car is more fuel efficient which is very good in fact because this is something that many will want to look for.  The suspension and the transmission of the car is very impressive to though both have been tuned to perfection which brings a nice and very smooth ride to the car though it is not exactly sporty when driving but still good enough.

When it comes to the safety of this STS, it is very impressive; of course some of the standard features will come with this.  They will be the front airbags for the driver and the front seat passenger also; they will also be the front curtain and side airbags for the driver and front seat passenger.

The back seats will also have rear curtain and side airbags for the passenger; the STS will come with the traction control and the stability control – again they are standard with this STS but this also comes with the On Star automatic crash response system built into the car.

The EPA fuel economy numbers over this Cadillac STS is going to reach 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway though these are still pretty good.  This is something that many people are not going to look for however but this is something to consider still however.
