Cadillac Seville

What is the Cadillac Seville?

The Seville was a luxury sedan that brought Cadillac style and comfort to a more compact four-door package. It sat alongside the marque’s larger models, and its final generation was a mid-size sedan. The nameplate’s last US model year was 2004.

In its later generations, the Seville used front-wheel drive. The final version adopted a more rounded design than the angular model before it.

Seville generations

The third generation ran from 1986 to 1991, followed by the fourth from 1992 to 1997 and the fifth from 1998 to 2004. The third generation brought a more compact front-wheel-drive layout. Later generations updated the styling, with the fifth introducing a redesigned body.

Engines and fuel consumption

US versions span petrol and diesel engines from 4.1 L to 5.7 L. Canadian listings cover 4.6 L petrol versions from 1995 to 2004.

The lowest listed US consumption is 11.2 L/100 km under the EPA measure, and the best combined rating is 21 MPG. In Canada, the lowest listed figure is 12.5 L/100 km on the NRCan 5-cycle test. These results use different procedures: the United States uses EPA testing, Canada uses the 5-cycle method, and European figures use WLTP or, for some older vehicles, NEDC.

Where was the Seville sold?
