Cadillac DTS / Overview / Enhanced exterior

Cadillac has applied its contemporary design vocabulary to the DTS, bringing the look in line with the rest of the marque's portfolio.

The DTS is equipped with new front-end sheet metal, grille, fascia and standard high-intensity-discharge Xenon headlamps. The decklid, rear quarter, rear fascia and light emitting diode (LED) taillamps and CHMSL also are new.

At first glance, DTS strongly reflects the appeal of Cadillac's trademark design with vertically shaped headlamps and tail lamps, and egg-crate grille. The result is a more architectural, linear exterior style than its predecessor and a look that separates it from the competition.
