Details
Summary
The bustle-back Seville of 1980 added electronic climate control and a fuel-economy readout, and from 1981 offered a digital speedometer cluster.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
The optional digital cluster, shared with the Eldorado and offered from 1981 to 1985, uses vacuum fluorescent displays rather than the gas-discharge readouts of the earlier Trip Computer, and switches between English and metric units. None was offered for 1980.
Infotainment
MPG Sentinel
An LED fuel-economy readout built into the dash, standard on petrol V8 cars and not offered with the diesel or the 1981–1982 Buick V6. It made the earlier Trip Computer largely unnecessary.
Delco/Bose stereo cassette
A brushed gold-look front panel from 1984. A 'Symphony Sound' cassette system was offered for 1982, and 1983 was the last year for the optional 8-track player.
Controls
Electronic climate control set with push buttons, each press raising or lowering the cabin temperature by one degree.
Facts
- The car's electrical system was rebuilt around GM's first digital fuel injection.[2][1]
- In 1980 the dash had illuminated warning panels on both sides and a digital AM/FM/CB/8-track stereo with scanning.[3]
- For 1983 Cadillac added a Delco/Bose stereo cassette system to the Seville option list at US$895.[1]
