''Being quick and agile are highly valued qualities in the compact luxury sport sedan segment,'' claims David Masch, chief engineer of the new 2013 Cadillac ATS.
That's why its lightweight construction combines with sleek aerodynamics and other efficient engineering techniques to deliver outstanding accelerations and fuel economy.
The ATS uses an aluminum hood and front suspension parts, magnesium engine mount brackets and natural-fibre door trim panels.
The laminated windshield and side windows are lighter and more effective at cancelling noise than standard tempered glass, making for a quieter cabin with almost double the amount of UV ray protection.
At the end of the day, the 3.6L V6-powered 2013 Cadillac ATS can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. With the base 2.5L four-cylinder engine, city and highway fuel ratings are estimated by GM at 10.7 and 7.4L/100km, respectively.
Canadian prices have yet to be disclosed. Look for the ATS in GM showrooms this summer.
