2014 Cadillac ATS review

1. Brilliant ride and handling 

Have a seat behind the steering wheel and be ready to smile. The 2014 Cadillac ATS delivers sharp steering, letting you feel what the car is doing on curvy backroads. A standard sport-tuned suspension keeps it flat in corners, delivering confidence and control in highway curves. This precision comes without a penalty, as the ATS is comfortable and quiet on-road, a relaxing ride for even your longest road trips.  

2. Generously equipped 

Even the base Cadillac ATS is loaded. Standard features outside include 17-inch alloy wheels, heated exterior mirrors, projector headlights and LED tail lights, and UV-reducing window tint. Inside, look for standard features like pushbutton start, Bose® seven-speaker sound system, dual USB ports, six-way power seats with two-way power lumbar, leather seats and steering wheel, keyless entry, and LED accent lighting. If you want even more, look for the optional Luxury, Performance, and Premium trims. 

3. Real luxury 

If you’re a little extra, you can easily find the ATS for you, complete with luxe touches in the Premium trim level. This trim adds the V6 engine standard, plus 18-inch alloy wheels, a long list of driver assistance features, and magnetic suspension for incredible comfort. Inside, Premium content includes standard head-up display, navigation, satellite radio, dual-zone climate, real wood trim, and more.

4. Compact Caddy 

Cadillac is known for big vehicles, and while they do still make those, the ATS is a vehicle designed to fit in compact parking spaces. This means everything from a home garage, parking garage at the airport, parallel parking space downtown, or narrow construction-plagued streets all become more accessible and easy to navigate. The ATS has all the luxury of a Cadillac, in a more manageable everyday size.  

5. Three powerful engine options 

Everyone likes choices, right? The 2014 ATS has three engine options to match your driving style. The base 2.5L four-cylinder with 202 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. An optional 2.0L four-cylinder uses a turbocharger to score 272 hp, with a six-speed manual or auto, and optional AWD. Finally, an available 3.6L V6 makes 321 hp, matched to a standard auto and rear-wheel drive. From commuter to muscle car, the ATS has options to make it the car you want.
