2011 Cadillac Seville

The 2011 Cadillac Seville feels smooth, quiet, and tight, with no squeaks or rattles. One thing that surprises many people is the size. It doesn’t look that big in photos, but it’s big, three inches longer than a Suburban. Yet it feels tight and surprisingly nimble on mountain roads. The 2011 2011 Cadillac Seville is essentially a modified Chevrolet Suburban; the two vehicles share fully 85 percent of their parts. So like the Suburban, The 2011 Cadillac Seville is built on the same superb platform as the Silverado pickup.


GM’s engineers created The 2011 Cadillac Seville by lopping off the rear roof structure and quarter windows of a Suburban, and redesigning the back end. When The 2011 Cadillac Seville rear seats are in place, there’s a 5-foot 3-inch bed, which is long enough for most tasks. When that’s not enough it converts into an 8-foot bed by taking over the rear seats.

 

The bed is protected by a well-designed lockable cover rated to support 250 pounds. You can walk all over it, and the cover keeps your cargo dry, clean, and safe from thieves. Fold the Midgate down and you can fill the bed with drywall. Close the tailgate and drive home in a downpour without any fear of seeing your drywall turn into wet wall. The Midgate, tailgate and portions of the cargo box are made from a composite material called PRO-TEC. This material is exceptionally durable, and resists dings, scratches and dents. Two Top-Box Storage compartments on either side of the cargo box provide a combined 3.5 cubic feet of lockable storage space. These compartments have drains, so they can be filled with ice and used as coolers.

The edgy front styling of last year’s 2011 Cadillac Seville gave it a unique look among Chevrolet’s full-size light trucks. Safety improvements for 2011 include dual-level air bags with an automatic passenger-sensing system.
