Cadillac De Ville VII gallery (1994–1999)
The seventh-generation Cadillac De Ville (1994–1999) was built strictly as a four-door sedan on GM's K-body platform with Northstar V8 power.
The seventh-generation Cadillac De Ville was produced from 1994 to 1999 on GM's front-wheel-drive K-body architecture. Dropping the coupe variant, De Ville was marketed strictly as a full-size luxury sedan. It featured smooth aerodynamic body styling stretching over 206 inches in length. A comprehensive 1997 mid-cycle facelift restyled the front fascia, grille, fenders, and door moldings. The performance-focused De Ville Concours model highlighted the lineup with upgraded powertrain and chassis tuning.
Initial base sedans used the 4.9-liter V8 (200 hp), replaced in 1996 by the 4.6-liter 32-valve DOHC Northstar V8 producing 275 horsepower in standard trim and 300 horsepower in the Concours. Transmissions were 4-speed automatic 4T80-E transaxles. Advanced electronics included StabiliTrak stability enhancement, CVRSS adaptive suspension, side airbags, and Bose sound systems. Standard and available equipment included power steering, power drum brakes, power window controls, power seat adjustment, and premium interior upholstery appointments.
