Year to Year Changes
1995 Cadillac DTS:
Traction control was made standard across the board. The system also could now be switched off, if desired. New transmission fluid did not require changing for 100,000 miles.
1996 Cadillac DTS:
All front-drive Cadillacs now carried one version or another of the 4.6-liter Northstar V8. Base DeVilles gained a 275-horsepower Northstar, while the Concours V8 rose to 300 horsepower. Daytime running lights were installed this year. Concours sedans added Rainsense to automatically turn on wipers when rain began, and magnetically operated variable-assist power steering. DeVilles gained a stainless-steel exhaust system and Road Sensing Suspension. New stereo systems included redundant controls on the steering wheel. New coolant was designed to last five years or 100,000 miles.
1997 Cadillac DTS:
A new DeVille model, standard side airbags, and a mild facelift headline the list of changes for 1997. Joining the base DeVille and plusher Concours is a new mid trim level model, called the De Ville d'Elegance. It comes with more standard equipment than the base DeVille, chrome wheels and gold ornamentation. Plus, dual door-mounted airbags join the two dash-mounted airbags, antilock brakes, and traction control on the list of standard safety features. Styling alterations include a new grille, rounder rear-wheel openings to accommodate the car's wider rear track, and a deeper rear fascia.
1998 Cadillac DTS:
Changes were minimal for 1998, however, with the demise of the Fleetwood, the DeVille lineup became Cadillac's largest cars.
1999 Cadillac DTS:
Cadillac's largest car saw a host of changes for '99 including available massaging front seats on d'Elegance and Concours models. Other improvements include an electronic suspension with StabiliTrak. This system is designed to aid control in fast turns by selectively applying the front brakes. It was standard on the Concours and optional on others. In midyear, a Golden Anniversary option was added that included special white paint, wood interior trim, and 2-tone leather upholstery. The DeVille line was all-new for the 2000 model year.
