The Cadillac Seville, a full-size luxury sedan produced by General Motors from 1975 to 2004, was a symbol of American opulence and refinement throughout its lifespan. The fourth generation of the Seville, the focus of this workshop manual, was launched in 1998 and ran through the 2003 model year. This generation showcased a sleek, modern design, featuring a sharp, angular profile with a distinct "wedge" shape, a hallmark of the era's Cadillac aesthetic. It was the first Seville to utilize the GM Sigma platform and offered a range of powerful V8 engines, including the 4.6L Northstar V8, renowned for its smooth performance and sophisticated design. Interior amenities were equally luxurious, with plush leather upholstery, wood trim accents, and advanced features like a premium Bose sound system and a driver information center. The Seville was praised for its comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and substantial build quality, cementing its status as a formidable competitor in the luxury sedan market.
The 1998-2003 Cadillac Seville stands out for its technological advancements. Notably, it was the first Seville to offer the revolutionary StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, enhancing safety and handling. Further innovations included the available OnStar service, offering real-time navigation, emergency services, and driver assistance features. The Seville also boasted a robust suite of safety systems, including multiple airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control, reinforcing its position as a safe and reliable luxury vehicle. Despite its impressive features and strong performance, the Seville faced challenges in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Rising fuel prices and increased competition from European luxury brands, known for their sophisticated engineering and driving dynamics, impacted sales. While the fourth-generation Seville remained a popular choice for discerning customers seeking comfort and prestige, it ultimately felt the pressure of a rapidly evolving luxury automotive landscape.
