2013 Cadillac ATS Parts & Accessories

2013 Cadillac ATS

As Cadillac’s CTS continued to increase in size, they slowly abandoned the smaller luxury sedan market, leaving the door open for the creation of the ATS. Planned for the BMW-3 series/Mercedes C-Class market the ATS is based on the Alpha platform. With this in mind GM engineers developed the ATS for excellent handling. The ATS was available starting with a 2.5-Liter four-cylinder engine, which included a turbocharged option. A long wheel base ATS dubbed ATS-L was built for the Chinese market in 2014, and an ATS coupe made its debut in 2015. A performance variant is available called ATS-V. While over 38,000 ATS sedans were built in 2013, by 2017 production had tanked to barely 13.000 units, leading to speculation that the ATS may be discontinued at some point by 2020.

2013 ATS

Production for the ATS began in July 2012 and was in dealer showrooms by the end of August as a 2013 model. By the end of 2013 Cadillac also sold the ATS in China produced from their factory in Shanghai.
