The 2013 Cadillac ATS is built to taste

Cadillac is a brand of General Motors synonymous with Luxury. The company has taken this luxury a notch further with the release of its 2013 Cadillac ATS. The compact sports sedan is General Motor’s latest effort to root itself in the competitive compact sports sedan segment. It was released to critical acclaim, already claiming the car of the year at Detroit’s North American International Auto show.

What stands the 2013 Cadillac ATS apart from its counterparts in the luxury compact sedan segment? Styling, design and quality interior. The exterior looks great with vertical light in the front and rear. It has a dimension that is identical to that of the BMW 3-series and talking about the BNW 3- series, it has really got itself a good competitor in the latest Caddy ATS.

The 2013 Cadillac ATS comes with three engine options, allowing buyers to choose the option suited best for their driving style. The options includes the 2.5-liter in-line 4-cylinder engine, the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cyclinder engine and the 3.6-liter V-6 engine. Of these, the 3.6-liter V-6 engine is considered the most powerful engine because it produces more horse power and torque (318 horsepower and 267 pounds feet of torque) than that of the 2.5-liter in-line 4-cylinder engine and the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (200 horse power, 188 pounds feet of torque and 270 horsepower, 260 pounds feet of torque respectively).

Other notable features include:

• An 8.0 rich LCD touch screen for the new Cadillac User Experience System which is highly visible even in the presence of direct sunlight.
• Navigation from Telematics.
