The 2013 Cadillac ATS, built on the legacy of the CTS-V Series, comes with a standard 202 horsepower 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine and choices of a 270 horsepower 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or an estimated 320 horsepower 3.6 liter V-6. The ATS, with available all-wheel drive, uses the first five-link independent suspension in a Cadillac to help keep the tires planted on all surfaces and during all hard-cornering maneuvers. Engineers focused on making the Cadillac ATS one of the lightest cars in the compact luxury segment with a curb weight of less than 3,400 pounds which helps deliver peak highway fuel economy of more than 30 mpg. The 2013 Cadillac ATS goes on sale during the second half of 2012.
