2014 Cadillac ATS

The Cadillac ATS compact luxury sports sedan challenges the world's best premium cars.

With one of the lowest curb weights in the segment -- nearly 3,300 pounds -- the ATS's driving dynamics are rooted in mass efficiency, which helps make it Cadillac's lightest and most agile sedan.

The ATS is offered as a well-equipped standard model and in Luxury, Performance and Premium Collections. A broad lineup of engines -- including two four-cylinders and a V-6 -- delivers strong power to the ATS. The optional engines include Cadillac's award-winning 2.0L Turbo, rated at 272 horsepower and 3.6L V-6, rated at 321 horsepower.

Four new exterior colors are offered, along with a larger collection of dealer-available accessories, including: an aluminum sport pedal set, 19-inch ultra-bright machined-finish aluminum wheels, 19-inch Manoogian premium painted wheels, 19-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, 19-inch Y-rated summer tires, black chrome-accented sport grille and black chrome rear applique trim.

Bold vertical lighting elements -- including LED front signature lighting detail -- as well as illuminating outside door handles and active grille shutters, lend technologically advanced style and function to the ATS. The grille shutters close when additional engine cooling isn't required, to reduce aerodynamic drag and enhance fuel economy.

A driver-focused interior with integrated technology and crafted materials complements the exterior elements and supports the ATS's driving experience. Everything from the placement of the pedals to the position of the shifter is designed for effortless and intuitive performance driving. Available performance seats have power-adjustable bolsters to optimize lateral support during high-load cornering.

Real wood, metal plating and carbon fiber trim and Cadillac's cut-and-sewn instrument panel, console and doors enhance the emotional connection to the ATS. Choices of many interior color themes, each with unique accent trim material, cover a wide range of flavors -- from light, open and warm to dark and serious, bold technical and sporty.
