2013 cadillac ats review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. And while it may not rule the roost, the cadillac ats is definitely in the game. the 2013 cadillac ats was designed and engineered from the ground-up on an all-new platform. Its compact size marks a turning point for cadillac, which has bought into the same sausage, different lengths philosophy of the germans and now has true compact, midsize and full-size sedans in its lineup. Each uses direct injection and variable valve timing to maximize performance and fuel efficiency. The base engine is a 2. 5-liter naturally aspirated inline-4, good for 202 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. It's the least expensive and slowest of the bunch, with a manufacturer estimated 0-60 mph time of 7. 5 seconds. A sprightly 2. 0-liter turbo makes 272 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque and can go 0-60 mph in an estimated 5. 7 seconds with the automatic transmission, or 5. 8 seconds with the available manual. The top-of-the-line powertrain is gm's much-used 3. 6-liter naturally aspirated v6, good in this application for 321 hp and 275 lb-ft. Of torque, which propels the ats from 0-60 mph in just 5. 4 seconds. Driving dynamics are further enhanced by an all-new five-link independent rear suspension and optional brembo brakes with an all-new, high-tech coating that keeps the rotors looking as good as they perform. Magnetic ride control, now in its third iteration, is optional on most ats models, which adjust suspension real-time for even more responsive driving. inside, fit and finish rivals that of any audi or bmw, although we found some interior configuration options limiting. Upper trim levels of the ats use cue, cadillac's new touchscreen interface. An acronym for cadillac user experience, the large screen uses proximity sensors, haptic feedback and voice recognition to control phone, audio and navigation functions. Unlike many luxury vehicles with proprietary interfaces (like the bmw idrive and mercedes benz's comand system), there is no central control knob on the center console and all functions are performed either through voice or via the touchscreen. However, cue doesn't appear on the base model, and navigation costs extra on all but the most expensive trim levels. fuel economy for the cadillac ats 2. 5-liter model with rear-wheel drive is an epa-estimated 22/33 mpg city/highway and, unlike its german rivals, regular gasoline is recommended. The ats with 3. 6-liter v6 is rated at 19/28 mpg, also on regular gas, or 18/26 mpg with all-wheel drive. Each comes in a variety of trim levels, with most trims similarly equipped across all engine choices. Most models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission, but the 2. 0-liter turbo can be had with a 6-speed manual transmission. Stepping up to the luxury collection 38,485) adds leather upholstery, 8-way power driver and passenger seats, unique exterior and interior trim, brembo performance front brakes and unique 17-inch wheels. the 2. 0-liter turbo standard trim is available with 6-speed manual transmission 34,615) or 6-speed automatic transmission 35,795). It's also available with all-wheel drive and the automatic transmission 37,795). The 2. 0-liter turbo luxury trim is available with manual 39,110), automatic 40,290), or awd automatic 42,290). The performance collection is available with a manual 41,510) or automatic transmission 42,790) or with awd and an automatic 44,790). Performance trim includes the cue touchscreen interface, bluetooth streaming audio, bose surround system with cd player, and a driver awareness package that includes rear thorax airbags, rain-sensing automatic wipers, lane departure warning and forward collision alert. An optional driver assist package 3,645) adds adaptive cruise control, front and rear automatic brake, head-up display, side blind zone alert and rear cross-traffic detection. options include navigation 795) and a cold weather package 600) that incudes heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. the 2. 0-liter with premium trim includes magnetic ride control and 18-inch wheels and is available with 6-speed automatic 45,790), 6-speed manual 44,315), or awd automatic 46,890). the 3. 6-liter v6 engine can be equipped with the luxury trim 42,090) or luxury awd 44,090), performance 44,590) performance awd 46,590), premium 47,590) or premium awd 48,690). Most features on each trim level are the same as those found on 2. 0-liter turbo variants. safety features on all models include driver and front passenger frontal airbags, knee and side airbags, and front and rear head curtain airbags; traction control, electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes. Optional rearview camera can help the driver spot a small child behind the car when backing up. Side blind zone alert and rear cross-traffic detection can help the driver spot other vehicles and possibly reduce the chance of an accident. Optional all-wheel drive can improve handling stability in slippery conditions. walkaroundexterior styling on the ats is bold, continuing cadillac's art and science design language that's been in use for a decade. The design stems from early sketches that came out of gm's london studio, with the bulk of the exterior and interior refined and finished by designers from both the michigan and california studios. The ats will be built at gm's lansing grand river assembly plant in michigan. lines are cleaner and certain features are less over the top than those on other cars in this class and are more proportionate to (and appropriate for) its smaller size. But the ats is still unmistakably a cadillac, which will please brand loyalists and appeal to those who are looking for something unique in a sea of sameness, but may prove a tough sell for european-luxury car enthusiasts who prefer sultry swoops to caddy's sharp geometric shapes. headlamps on the ats use cadillac's signature vertical shape, with long, tapering tails that stretch up alongside the hood line. Vertical foglamps underneath accentuate the upright look of the front fascia. The front grille and air intakes are large, but not gratuitous, and are separated, in cadillac style, by a sharp, three-dimensional angular crease. The front end is not only aesthetic, but functional: inside the front grille are shutters that automatically close at certain highway speeds to reduce aerodynamic drag and help fuel economy. from the side, the ats appears squared-off, but not as wedge-y as the cts. A rising character line along the bottom is evident, but not overdone. The roofline slopes gently past the c-pillar, and isn't as steeply raked as some sporty compact cars, presumably for the sake of rear passenger headroom. Chrome accents on window surrounds and door handles, as well as polished 17-inch wheels (with optional 18s), convey a look that's more luxurious over sporty. In addition, the brembo performance brakes that come on some ats models use a special ferritic nitro-carburizing (fnc) coating, which helps to prevent corrosion and keeps them looking shiny. in back, the vertical lines are repeated in the tail lamps. A long, thin horizontal led brake doubles as a rear spoiler. The license plate is framed in shapes that would make euclid (the father of geometry) proud. The rear bumper echoes the front with its sharp center crease. interioras with other cadillac interiors, materials on the ats are high-quality and luxurious. Front seats make driver and passenger feel like each is in her own compartment, flanked by an armrest at one hand, and a high center console on the other. The interior design echoes the lines and shapes of the outside, with sharp angles and rising lines th. Anti-lock Brakes✔ Climate Control✔ Cruise Control✔ CD Player✔ Bluetooth
