2018 Cadillac ATS Parts & Accessories

2018 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. 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.

The base engine was now the turbocharged 2.0-Liter four-cylinder. The Carbon Black Package, Black Sport appearance Package, and glove box mounted optical drive were all dropped for 2018. The CUE Version 3 infotainment system received added technologies.
