Two-door Caddy with engine options
The 2019 Cadillac ATS is a two-door coupe that is designed for couples and solo drivers who don’t need a large back seat or lots of cargo space. The 2019 ATS comes standard with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but a V6 is an available option. So too is all-wheel drive, making this a great coupe if you live in a snowy climate. As you’d expect from a Cadillac, the ATS has lots of standard features, from remote start to smartphone connectivity, and even more luxury touches are available options.
