With STS, advanced technologies help you manage driving’s challenges with confidence and style. Take the available performance-oriented All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system, for example. On normal dry pavement, it delivers a sense of extraordinary surefootedness as you carve through curves with all four wheels powering you forward. When the traction is less than ideal, as is so often the case in Canadian winter driving, this same system ensures that power flows to the wheels with the best grip, helping you maintain momentum and control.
Comfort and control coexist in perfect harmony in the STS interior. A power tilting and telescoping steering column and a driver's seat with eight-way power adjustments and a two-position memory function, make it easy to find precisely the right driving position. The chrome-rimmed analogue gauges are supplemented by a multi-function Driver Information Centre that conveys messages in your choice of five languages. The dual-zone automatic climate control system and available heated and ventilated seats assure four-season comfort, while the standard XM Satellite Radio™** and eight-speaker Bose® sound system provide outstanding listening.
With the available Platinum Package, STS takes luxury and exclusivity to extremes. On the outside, STS Platinum is distinguished by unique front grille styling, glittering 18" chrome wheels and a Platinum emblem adorning the rear decklid. Inside, there's the best of everything: a leather-wrapped cabin featuring seats upholstered all around in glove-soft Tuscany leather, genuine olive ashwood trim and much more. There's even heating for the wood-and-leather steering wheel, for added comfort on cold mornings. After all, don't you deserve the best?
The bracing STS driving experience starts with outstanding engineering. The 3.6L V6 engine produces 302 horsepower and responds willingly at all speeds, thanks to Variable Valve Timing (VVT), direct fuel injection and other leading-edge technologies. A sophisticated four-wheel independent suspension and StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system make for positive, confident handling. The four-wheel disc braking system benefits from the latest in technology, too, with features like dynamic rear brake proportioning and Panic Brake Assist that help produce shorter stopping distances in emergency braking.
STS is engineered to provide a high level of protection for every occupant. Crush zones at the front and rear help absorb potentially dangerous crash energy. A sturdy safety cage, including door braces made of ultra-high-strength steel, surrounds the passenger compartment. STS also features six standard air bags, including side head curtain air bags that protect both front and rear occupants in side impacts.† Even after a collision has occurred, your STS will continue to act in your interest. Should your air bags deploy, a signal will be sent automatically to advisors at the OnStar® Centre, who can dispatch emergency services to your location as needed.
** Available in 10 Canadian provinces and the 48 contiguous United States. Subscription sold separately after trial period. Visit xmradio.ca for details.
† A NOTE ON CHILD SAFETY. Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, even in vehicles equipped with air bags. Refer to the Vehicle Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information.
