The lower front fascia features a distinctive intake and grille pattern evoking Cadillac’s V-Series high-performance models. Similarly, side air extractors, again inspired by the Sixteen concept and Escalade, are now incorporated into the front fenders of STS. New chrome-plated door handles and lower rocker moldings are added for more presence and refinement. At the rear, the new fascia is now body color and is highlighted with polished aluminum three-inch exhaust tips. New, polished 18-inch x 8-inch aluminum 14-spoke wheels are available.
Standard is a 3,6 liter V6 engine that delivers 302 hp at 6,300 rpm and 272 lb.-ft. at 5,200 rpm. A more powerful 4.6L Northstar V-8 is also available. It delivers 320 hp and 315 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines are mated to a fuel-saving 6L50 six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission.
