The Seville offered several interior improvements and new
standard features. Cadillac depicted the touring sedan option (a YP6) as featuring
"European styling, exclusive appointments, performance and road manners that make [it]
a driver's car in the European tradition." The Seville's color choice was revised to
include a white diamond finish for the standard Seville and the replacement of black
metallic with sable black. A total of 18 colors were offered. The bird's eye maple trim
also used for the Eldorado was standard for the Seville. The 1988 Elegante seat was now
standard. The new Tampico carpets were protected by front and rear mats with the same
design as those used on other Cadillacs. The Seville also had the VATS installed on the
1989 Eldorado. New standard equipment included Cadillac's electrochromic day/night
mirror, an engine oil life indicator, driver side express-down window and Delco/Bose
II Symphony sound system. Except for the Eldorado's accent molding and snowflake wheels,
the Seville shared that model's new standard equipment. Power front passengers and
driver recliners and 15 in. cast aluminum lace wheels were also standard for the
Seville.

diamond, sable black,
black sapphire and carmine red. It featured hand-stitched beechwood
