Body style(s):
4-door sedan

Trim Levels: SLS, STS
MSRP range: $43,335-$47,850

Notes: The Seville was essentially unchanged from its introduction in 1998. Although the new sedan closely resembled the '92-'97 models, the resemblance was only as deep as general styling; the two marks were quite distinct on the detail level. Massaging front seats were an option for 1999. The new generation also could be outfitted with GM's OnStar assistance program.
