Who it suits. Drivers wanting a midsize car with a V8 and front-wheel drive Mixed driving with a meaningful share of highway miles
The Seville is a midsize, front-wheel-drive choice for drivers who specifically want a 4.6-liter eight-cylinder gasoline powertrain with an automatic gearbox. Its fuel numbers favor highway travel, but frequent city use lowers the return to 16 MPG. The stated $3,550 annual fuel estimate and 467.74 grams-per-mile CO2 figure make running cost an important part of the decision. Consider it when the engine and drivetrain fit your priorities, and weigh the 19 MPG combined result against your usual route mix.
What it is
The 2004 Cadillac Seville is a midsize car running on gasoline. It uses front-wheel drive, a 4.6-liter eight-cylinder engine, and a four-speed automatic transmission.
The figure that defines its everyday use is 19 combined MPG. That rating blends the car’s 16 MPG city result with its 24 MPG highway result.
The numbers
City driving is rated at 16 MPG. Highway driving is rated at 24 MPG, an 8 MPG increase over the city figure.
The combined 19 MPG rating is the middle figure to use when your driving mixes streets and highways.
What it costs to run
The listed annual fuel estimate is $3,550. Your actual spending will follow how much city and highway driving you do, using the 16 MPG and 24 MPG ratings.
Tailpipe CO2 is listed at 467.74 grams per mile.
How it compares
Within its own ratings, the Seville gives up fuel economy in town to return more miles per gallon on the highway. The 19 MPG combined figure sits between those two results.

Who it suits
This car suits a driver seeking a midsize gasoline vehicle with front-wheel drive and an eight-cylinder engine.
It makes the most sense when your use includes enough highway travel to benefit from its 24 MPG highway rating.
Trade-offs
The 4.6-liter eight-cylinder engine and automatic transmission provide the stated powertrain, while fuel economy remains 16 MPG in city driving and 19 MPG combined.
Highway mileage is stronger than city mileage, but the annual fuel estimate is still $3,550.
Verdict
Choose the Seville if you want a midsize car with front-wheel drive, a V8 gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. Its 24 MPG highway result favors longer road trips over stop-and-go use. Budget around $3,550 in annual fuel expense and expect 467.74 grams of tailpipe CO2 per mile. The 19 MPG combined rating gives a clear baseline for mixed driving, while the lower 16 MPG city figure is the number to watch if most trips happen in town.
