Cadillac ATS

The Cadillac ATS is a four-door, five-passenger compact luxury sedan designed, engineered, manufactured and marketed by General Motors. General Motors developed the ATS at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, United States. GM assembles the ATS at the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Lansing, Michigan, United States. The ATS is Cadillac's smallest vehicle, slotting into the Cadillac vehicle line under the larger Cadillac CTS.

The ATS is based upon General Motors' Alpha platform and is offered in either rear- or all-wheel drive configurations. The ATS base engine is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter I-4 gasoline engine that produces 202 horsepower (151 kW). Optional engines include a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 gasoline engine that produces 272 horsepower (203 kW) and a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine that produces 321 horsepower (239 kW). A diesel engine will be available in the future. All versions are equipped with a 6-speed GM 6L45 Hydra-Matic automatic transmission as standard. The 2.0-liter turbocharged, rear-wheel drive version can be mated to an optional 6-speed Tremec M3L TR3160 manual transmission. Depending upon specification, the 2013 ATS ranges in price from US$34,000 to US$52,000.

Cadillac debuted the ATS to the press in the United States in January 2012, placed the ATS into production in July 2012 and began selling the ATS in the United States in August 2012 as a 2013 model. GM plans to sell the ATS in China. Cadillac may sell the ATS in Europe depending upon the local market reaction.
