SLS Sedan
America's luxury hot rod gets even better.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
Again for 2002, the Cadillac Seville delivers the refinement, performance and handling expected from a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus or Infiniti. The Seville is a sedan that truly loves to be driven, whether MR technology is helping you wind your way down back roads or if you're using the new navigation system to find your way through the streets of a strange city. The STS feels like a true sports sedan.
