As the most powerful vehicle in the Cadillac lineup, the 2009 Cadillac STS-V is an intensely focused sports sedan with supercharged power and vicious thrust.
The 4.4-liter, 469-horsepower supercharged V-8 engine with Variable Valve Timing boasts a serious wallop and a mountain of torque for serious acceleration. The six-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control offers manumatic shifting for quick upshifts and smooth downshifts. The performance rear-wheel drive system is the perfect configuration for amazing dry-road handling. Fuel economy for the STS-V is mediocre, with 13 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway.
Inside the cabin, exotic Olive Ash wood appointments and a hand-wrapped leather interior add a level of serenity and panache. The standard Bose® Studio Surround sound system with an in-dash 6-disc CD changer, 15 speakers, and touch-screen DVD navigation offers superior sound quality and detailed maps and directions for the ultimate road trip companion. Standard Adaptive Remote Start allows you to start the vehicle with the remote keyfob, which is a handy feature in colder weather. Dual-zone climate control includes individual climate settings for driver and front passenger. Leather-covered 8-way power driver and passenger seats offer ample luxury and the perfect seating positions. A unique decklid spoiler and front grille announce the sporting nature of the STS-V. Massive 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels and performance tires put the power to the ground.
The standard Lane Departure Warning audibly and visually alerts the driver if the vehicle strays from the lane. Standard Blink Zone Alert displays a visual cue if a vehicle enters your blind spots. Xenon High-Intensity Discharge headlamps with Intellibeam offer superior illumination and visibility. Standard high-performance 4-piston Brembo® disc brakes with a 4-channel anti-lock brake system stop the vehicle with authority and offers minimal fade. Keeping the vehicle stable during emergency handling is the standard StabiliTrak stability control system.
Like a road warrior in a finely tailored suit, the 2009 Cadillac STS-V offers eye-popping acceleration and a tastefully executed interior to tempt luxury sports sedan enthusiasts.
