2013 CADILLAC ATS

CHALLENGES THE WORLD’S BEST COMPACT LUXURY CARS

The all-new 2013 Cadillac ATS compact luxury sports sedan

is the brand’s entry into the world’s

most significant luxury car segment and is designed

to challenge the world’s best premium cars.

Its sophisticated driving experience is enhanced with Cadillac

CUE

, a

comprehensive, in-vehicle

user experience

that merges intuitive design with industry-first controls and commands for

information and media data.

Developed on an all-new, lightweight rear-drive architecture, the ATS reflects a new expression

of Cadillac’s Art & Science execution philosophy, centered on a foundation of driving dynamics

and mass efficiency. It is the most agile and lightweight Cadillac, with one of the lowest curb

weights in the segment

– less than 3,400 pounds (1,542 kg). All-wheel drive is available.

Germany’s famed Nürburgring served as one of the key testing grounds, along with additional

roads, race tracks and laboratories around the globe, where ATS engineers balanced

performance with Cadillac’s trademark refinement. Contributing components and features

include:

50/50 weight balance

Cadillac’s first five-link independent rear suspension using lightweight, high-strength

steel and efficient straight link designs

A multi-link double-pivot MacPherson-strut front suspension with direct-acting stabilizer

bar

Driver-adjustable FE3 sport suspension with Magnetic Ride Control real-time damping

Underbody aerodynamic shields

Premium (belt driven) electric variable-effort steering gear from ZF Steering Systems

Four-channel ABS with available Brembo performance brakes

Available all-wheel drive.

The ATS is offered as a well-equipped standard model and in Luxury, Performance and

Premium collections. A broad lineup of engines

– including two four-cylinders and a V-6 for

North America

– delivers strong power to the ATS and capitalizes on the car’s lightweight

structure to complement its performance with efficiency. The optional engines include an all-new

2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 272 horsepower (203

kW) and Cadillac’s award-

winning 3.6L V-6, estimated at 321 horsepower (239 kW).
