Despite still remaining a large vehicle, the new DeVille is two inches (51 mm) shorter and a little narrower than its predecessor, but its wheelbase is 1.5 inches (38 mm) longer which results in more usable room.

The vast passenger compartment features self-adjusting seats with 10 air bladders, an option on DHS and DTS versions.

Pressing a button activates the inflation cycle. Then sensors automatically detect the inflation and transmit those data to a command module.

Every four minutes, the module verifies the inflation in order to have it regulated in accordance with the occupant's movements. Ain't that nice, fellows?

On long trips those unique seats provide an amazing comfort and feature a six-position adjustment including a vertical and lateral lumbar support. At the rear, two fair sized adults will benefit from an adequate head and legroom.

A NEAT FINISH
That new comer has scored noticeable points on the quality front as the finish is neat and the choice of material is quite suitable.

The Cadillac DeVille benefits from an efficient sound proofing, and road noises are sufficiently filtered to provide, as a bonus, a premium road handling, especially with DTS touring model.

The new DeVille has in standard equipment all the luxury and safety features one expects to find in a top-of-the range automobile.
