We already know how the new model year Cadillac ATS looks like with and without camouflage. We also know that the automaker charges $38,990 for the least expensive 2015 Cadillac ATS coupe. But what we didn’t know (until a few moments ago) is how the smallest Caddy model looks like whilst on the move.
The right person at the right moment at the right location with the right video recording abilities is the type of situation that offered us the first running footage of the 2015 Cadillac ATS sedan in production-ready guise. Specifically, the car was spotted during a promo shoot.
According to the user that uploaded the video on YouTube, “Cadillac's newest television commercial for the 2015 ATS sedan was filmed exclusively in Niagara's wine area.” And from the looks of it, the landscape does look like the world renowned Niagara Escarpment American Viticultural Area.

As for the 2015 Cadillac ATS sedan, the vehicle caught on film is a carbon copy of what our crack teen of spy photographers spotted back at the beginning of May. Highlight changes over the outgoing model year include a subtly revised front fascia, the modern design wreathless Cadillac crest, better materials and finish throughout the cabin, Siri Eyes Free compatibility, OnStar 4G LTE integration as well as a handful of new exterior hues.
