Cadillac ATS Reveals Itself in Detroit #NAIAS

admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:39:43 +0000

Cadillac ATS finally revealed itself at the 2012 North American International Auto Show.

The auto maker is hoping competition like BMW and Mercedes are worried. Expect the new, smaller sedan at dealer lots later this year. Cadillac is also betting on vehicles like ATS to bring in new and youthful shoppers onto dealer lots.

The 2013 Cadillac ATS comes standard with a 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine. Turbo-charged, this vehicle produces 270 horsepower. ATS is slated to become the company’s next generation flagship.

“American manufacturers like Cadillac use style and panache to attract attention, and win new buyers,” according to Detroit News writer Neil Winton.

Cadillac also announced plans to add diesel variants overseas. Its high output, four-cylinder engine will most likely produce top level performance and fuel economy, big selling points for European shoppers.

Stay tuned for more specifications on Cadillac ATS.

Coming to the 2012 North American International Auto Show (aka: Detroit Auto Show) Cadillac will present its game changing 2013 ATS sedan. GM plans on introducing this model along with three other concepts – one from each of their brands (GMC, Chevy, Buick).

The auto maker hopes to target foreign luxury competition with this smaller, sportier sedan. According to Mary Barra, GM senior VP of global product development, “ATS is a crucial part of Cadillac’s expansion. ATS enters the biggest market segment in the global luxury car industry, both in terms of volume and importance.”

ATS, which is Cadillac’s latest attempt at drawing in new, younger buyers, will go on sale in late 2012 (as a 2013 model) and include coupe / convertible variants by 2015.
