Cadillac LSE

Cadillac LSE: which version to buy and why (specs compared)

There is only one Cadillac LSE to choose: 3.0 AT, a Sedan from 1 generation (1993-01-01 to 1996-12-31). The catalogue lists 1 generation, 1 version, 210 hp, 270 Nm, 2962 cm³ Gasoline, 4-speed Automatic, RWD, and 1665 kg kerb weight.

There is only one Cadillac LSE to choose: 3.0 AT, a Sedan from 1 generation (1993-01-01 to 1996-12-31). The catalogue lists 1 generation, 1 version, 210 hp, 270 Nm, 2962 cm³ Gasoline, 4-speed Automatic, RWD, and 1665 kg kerb weight. If you are comparing LSE trims, engines, or later generations against each other, the data set does not contain a second row — the buying decision is whether 3.0 AT itself matches the numbers you need.

Cadillac LSE generations: what changed (and what did not)

1 generation (1993-01-01–1996-12-31) is the entire production window. Body: Sedan. Versions in this generation: 1 (3.0 AT). There is no restyling generation in the data, so there is no “facelift LSE” with different hp, gearbox, or drive to pick instead of the first cars.

Because pokoleniy = 1, there is no second generation to compare on power, weight, tank size, or gearbox count. Arithmetic between generations is therefore zero change: the same 210 hp, 270 Nm, 2962 cm³, 4 gears, RWD, 75 L tank, and 1665 kg kerb apply for the whole 1993–1996 span of 3.0 AT. Extra money cannot buy a later LSE engine or a different body in this catalogue — those rows are not present.

Cadillac LSE specs: the only version on the table

3.0 AT is Gasoline, 6 cylinders, V-shaped, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No, multi-point distributed injection, compression 10.8, bore × stroke 86 × 85, fuel 95. Peak 210 hp (154 kW) is listed at 6200 rpm; peak 270 Nm at 3600 rpm. Gearbox: Automatic, 4 gears. Drive: RWD. Engine position: not measured.

There is no second named version (no second 3.0 AT at a different hp, no 4.0 AT, no manual) to split by power. If two rows shared the name 3.0 AT, they would be told apart by 210 hp versus another figure; here 210 hp is the only figure attached to that name.

Engine: power per litre and what the extra displacement would have to buy

Displacement of 3.0 AT is 2962 cm³, which is 2.962 L.

• Specific power: 210 ÷ 2.962 ≈ 70.9 hp per litre (also 154 kW ÷ 2.962 ≈ 52.0 kW per litre).
• Specific torque: 270 ÷ 2.962 ≈ 91.2 Nm per litre.

Boost is No, so those ratios are naturally aspirated Gasoline figures, not a forced-induction package. Compression 10.8 is the listed ratio for this one engine; there is no lower-compression LSE to contrast.

Bore × stroke 86 × 85 is 1 mm oversquare (86 − 85 = 1). Peak power rpm (6200) sits 2600 rpm above peak torque rpm (3600): 6200 − 3600 = 2600. That gap is the only rpm spread in the data; there is no second cam or boost map to compare.

Valves: 6 cylinders × 4 valves = 24 valves on 3.0 AT. Cylinders and layout stay 6 / V-shaped for the whole model.

If a buyer hoped “extra money” would buy more litres, more hp, or boost, this catalogue does not offer that step. The only engine is 2962 cm³, 210 hp, 270 Nm, boost No.

Weight per horsepower: the real comparison when there is one version

Kerb weight of 3.0 AT is 1665 kg. Gross weight: not measured.

• Mass per hp: 1665 ÷ 210 ≈ 7.93 kg per hp.
• Power per tonne (kerb): 210 ÷ (1665 ÷ 1000) = 210 ÷ 1.665 ≈ 126.1 hp per tonne.
• Torque per tonne (kerb): 270 ÷ 1.665 ≈ 162.2 Nm per tonne.

Without a second version, you cannot buy a lighter LSE or a heavier one inside this model. The choice versus other cars you already know is whether ≈ 7.93 kg/hp and ≈ 126.1 hp/t on 1665 kg is enough; versus other LSE versions there is no delta.

Gross weight not measured means payload is not measured. Ground clearance: not measured. Wheel sizes: not measured. You cannot pick an LSE “with more clearance” or “on larger wheels” from these rows.

Performance, mpg, and economy: what is not measured

For 3.0 AT:

• 0–100: not measured
• Top speed: not measured
• City consumption: not measured
• Highway consumption: not measured
• Combined consumption (mpg in catalogue terms): not measured
• CO2: not measured
• Eco class: not measured

A buying comparison on sprint time, top speed, or mpg cannot be scored from this data. Saying a figure is missing is required: omitting it would read as if LSE had no such parameters. There is no generation that later added a measured 0–100 or a measured combined figure.

Tank volume is 75 L. Without measured consumption, range is not measured. You cannot claim that one LSE “goes further” than another; there is only 75 L.

Fuel is 95 Gasoline. There is no diesel LSE and no alternative-fuel LSE in the data, so the fuel choice is that single grade.

Cadillac LSE dimensions, weight, tank: the fixed package

Front suspension: Independent, spring. Rear: Independent, spring. Front brakes: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: Disc. Those labels are the same for the only version; there is no “sport brake” or “air suspension” LSE to pay extra for.

75 L of tank on 1665 kg kerb is 75 ÷ 1665 ≈ 0.0450 L per kg of kerb, or 1665 ÷ 75 = 22.2 kg of kerb per litre of tank. That ratio does not change across years in the data.

Which Cadillac LSE version to buy

Buy 3.0 AT if you want the LSE that exists in this catalogue: Sedan, 1 generation, Gasoline 6 V-shaped, 2962 cm³, 210 hp at 6200 rpm, 270 Nm at 3600 rpm, boost No, Automatic 4, RWD, kerb 1665 kg, tank 75 L, fuel 95, compression 10.8, 86 × 85, Independent spring suspension both ends, Ventilated disc front / Disc rear.

You cannot buy a different LSE version on these numbers. There is no second name, no second hp for a duplicate name, no AWD, no extra gear, no measured faster 0–100, no measured better mpg. “What the extra money buys” inside the LSE line is not in the data: there is no higher-output 3.0 AT, no later generation, and no restyling row with different specs.

Reliability and problems: this catalogue does not list failure rates, recall counts, or common faults. Those topics are what people search, but they are not measured here. Do not treat silence as “no problems.”

Versus shopping by generation: 1 generation is the only generation. Years 1993-01-01 to 1996-12-31 share one spec sheet for 3.0 AT. A 1993 car and a 1996 car are not separated by hp, Nm, gears, drive, or kerb in this data.

Decision in one line: if Cadillac LSE is the model you want, the version to specify is 3.0 AT — 210 hp, 270 Nm, 2962 cm³, Automatic 4, RWD, 1665 kg — because it is the only version measured. If you need a measured 0–100, mpg, gross weight, clearance, or wheel size, those figures are not measured on 3.0 AT, and no other LSE version supplies them either.
