ACCELERATION
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 7 | 6.4 |
Strong, especially at around-town and midrange speeds. Transmission a smooth, quick shifter, though most rivals use a 5-speed automatic.
FUEL ECONOMY
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 4 | 4.6 |
Test Sevilles averaged 18.6 mpg with lots of highway miles, only 14.8 in everyday driving. Cadillac recommends regular-grade fuel.
RIDE QUALITY
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 8 | 7 |
Plush over bumps, but with more than a trace of float over high-speed dips and swells.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 6 | 6.8 |
Among the few front-wheel-drive luxury cars--a benefit in the snow belt, but a detriment to agility, so handling only adequate against European rivals. Braking is swift and stable, pedal action slightly dull.
QUIETNESS
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 7 | 6.7 |
Quiet, though not Lexus-like.
CONTROLS
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 7 | 6.7 |
Attractive layout; clear gauges; mostly handy, self-evident controls. Cabin materials, workmanship impressive, though the best imports are better overall.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 7 | 7.2 |
Plenty of room, but not all drivers can dial in satisfactory positioning. Rear-obstacle warning useful in parking, but outward vision in lane changes and backing up hindered by wide rear roof posts, narrow rear window.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 5 | 5.6 |
Standard heated seat a nice touch, but leg room and shoulder width only adequate. Tall riders crowd the headliner. Narrow door bottoms complicate entry/exit.
CARGO ROOM
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 4 | 4 |
Ample trunk space and good small-item cabin stowage.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 3 | 5.8 |
A good balance of comfort and performance, but Seville can't match the overall refinement and precision feel of like-priced imports.
Total Score
| SLS | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 58 | 60.8 |
Total Score: 58
