The 2002 Cadillac DeVille is part of the sedan's eighth and final generation, marking the end of a nameplate dating to the 1940s. It's offered in three trims: base, DHS, and DTS. All trims share a 4.6L V8 engine, producing 275 hp in the base and DHS trims, and 300 hp in the DTS model. Connected to a 4-speed automatic transmission, these front-wheel-drive sedans provide a rather smooth and quiet ride, living up to Cadillac's luxury-brand image. Inside, the DeVille features a wide array of comfort-enhancing features, such as leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone climate control, and power-adjustable front seats. Technology amenities include the OnStar communication system and a premium sound system. In terms of safety, the 2002 DeVille includes antilock brakes, traction control, front and side airbags, as well as Cadillac's StabiliTrak stability control system on higher trims.
