Year to Year Changes
1993 Cadillac Seville:
Dual airbags went into '93 Sevilles. So did a brand-new Northstar V8 engine. Standard in the STS, the 4.6-liter dual-cam Northstar developed 295 horsepower. This year's 4-speed automatic transmission adopted electronic controls. A new STS traction-control system applied brakes and reduced engine power to deliver top tire grip on slippery surfaces. STS sedans also gained a new Road Sensing Suspension, which used a computer to "read" the road surface, then adjust firmness. Base Sevilles added Speed Sensitive Suspension, which alters suspension settings according to speed.
1994 Cadillac Seville:
Both models carried Northstar engines in '94. The 270-horsepower V8 of 1993 now served as base engine for the Seville Luxury Sedan (SLS), while the STS kept its 295-horsepower version. All Sevilles had traction control and a Road Sensing Suspension.
1995 Cadillac Seville:
Engines added a little power, and an Integrated Chassis Control System arrived to improve braking, handling, and traction control. Headlights turned on automatically with the wipers.
1996 Cadillac Seville:
Sevilles got daytime running lights and a new dashboard with larger analog gauges, plus climate and stereo controls grouped in the center. Radios added redundant controls in the steering wheel, where climate controls also could be found.
1997 Cadillac Seville:
The addition of new high-tech systems were the primary changes for 1997. New features added to the STS included Cadillac's Stabilitrack emergency-traction system and Rainsense automatic wipers. Seville was redesigned for 1998.
