<Tr> <Th> Successor </Th> <Td> Cadillac XTS </Td> </Tr> <P> The Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan or D - Series Touring Sedan) is a full - size luxury notchback sedan that was produced by Cadillac . The DTS replaced the Cadillac DeVille as Cadillac's largest luxury car for the 2006 model year . This renaming followed new nomenclature conventions set by the earlier CTS and STS . </P> <P> The first version of the DTS was initially shown at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show on February 9 . The DTS remained in production until 2011 . </P> <P> The front - wheel drive DTS was manufactured at GM's Detroit / Hamtramck Assembly factory from July 2005 through May 2011 . Base price of the entry DTS at time of introduction was US $41,195 ($51,618 in current dollars) which was over 10% lower than the DeVille model it had replaced . One major feature change from the DeVille to the DTS was the elimination of standard 6 - passenger seating configuration for non-limousine models . However, such capability remains an optional feature for fleet clients . Even though priced less than the rear - wheel drive STS, the DTS is longer than the STS . </P>
