A first-class sports sedan is a perfect combination of refinement, handling and performance. Cadillac ATS appears to be having that “trifecta” in its genes, particularly with the V6 and its turbocharged four-cylinder model. But how significant is power to the sports sedan segment?
Cadillac ATS is a brand new entry into the field of Mercedes C-Class, BMW 3-series and the Audi A4. To find out more, we did a car review of the new Cadillac ATS.
It is almost impossible to tell that the new Cadillac ATS is a GM product while slipping into the front seats of the sedan. Interior design is spontaneous and crisp. Modest details are spread all over the car’s interiors. These cars come with exciting interior colors such as sporty red leather accented with carbon fiber and jet black interior with silver trim and unique etchings.
The huge touch screen — CUE (Cadillac User Experience) operating system highlights the interior. CUE is convincingly responsive and features clever tricks like pinch-to-zoom on the maps and provides tactile feedback while making screen selections.
Cadillac ATS is also equipped with comfortable interiors and solid space for the front two passengers. Though the rear passengers, if adults, are sure to get jealous of the front seaters because of limited leg and headroom in the back. Children should be fine if sitting in the back.
Visually, Cadillac ATS looks exceptional with its headlight design being the most spectacular feature, which spills and flows onto the hood of the car. The car review of Cadillac ATS proves that it has a much fresher and youthful look compared to other experienced rivals such as the C-Class, 3-Series and A4.
The joy of driving with its wonderful steering and light weight of the car gets amplified with the two powerful engines available with the car. Cadillac ATS managed 26 mpg while driving during the car review through country back roads and into city traffic without much of trying. Overall, Cadillac ATS is the value choice and is also cheaper compared to the similarly powered Mercedes-Benz C250.
Verdict
The seriously impressive new Cadillac ATS is a true sports sedan and is worthy of being called much better.
