Just weeks before it goes on sale in Europe, Cadillac will present the ATS sedan before the crowds of the Paris Motor Show, as they decided if this is a true rival for the BMW 3-Series.
The ATS was designed and built to become a global product, based on a brand new lightweight rear-drive platform, the lightest Cadillac has ever made.

The ATS will be offer with a 276 hp 2.0-liter turbo engine, delivering zero to 100 km/h performance of just 5.9 seconds.

Besides, the ATS, Cadillac will also be bringing the SRX crossover, the 564 hp CTS-V sedan, wagon and coupe, plus the Escalade Hybrid to the Paris Motor Show.

"The arrival of the ATS now gives us a very strong contender in the biggest-selling segment of the premium class," says Wolfgang Schubert, Cadillac Europe Managing Director. "The ATS is quick, nimble and great fun to drive. It will appeal to buyers who appreciate a car with superb handling qualities that also stands out from the crowd. We’re confident the ATS has all it takes to go head-to-head with its competitors."
