Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

People used to think of Cadillac as the producer of large and heavy sedans that oozed luxury and sophistication, but those cars were never considered that sporty to drive. However, that was then and this is now. The 2017 Cadillac ATS-V headlines a new-generation of Cadillac models that offer unbeatable performance, tech-savvy interiors, and eye-catching exterior designs. Available in both coupe and sedan body styles, the new Cadillac ATS-V features a starting MSRP of $60,695 and it takes direct aim at German competitors such as the BMW M3 sedan, Mercedes-AMG C63, and BMW M4 coupe.

2017 Cadillac ATS-V Exterior

The 2017 Cadillac ATS-V has a striking exterior design that’s defined by its angular body lines, unique performance grille, and 18-inch forged alloy wheels. There’s a rear spoiler on the back of the ATS-V to help keep the car planted on the road, while the front splitter improves down force even further. For the 2017 model year, Cadillac is offering a Carbon Black package for the ATS-V, which includes black-finished side window moldings and body-color door handles. Those optional features are designed to complement the carbon fiber hood that comes standard on every 2017 ATS-V. Exterior color options for this high-performance Cadillac include Red Obsession Tintcoat, Crystal White Tricoat, and Black Raven.

2017 Cadillac ATS-V Performance

The 2017 Cadillac ATS-V comes equipped with a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that’s good for 464 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. That engine can be matched with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, both of which send power exclusively to the rear wheels. In addition, a five-mode traction-management system with launch control comes with each new ATS-V that enables greater acceleration, even from a standstill. Thanks to all of this advanced equipment, the 2017 Cadillac ATS-V is able to zip from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 189 mph on the racetrack.

2017 Cadillac ATS-V Efficiency

Fuel efficiency for the 2017 Cadillac ATS-V varies depending on which transmission is used with the vehicle. When equipped with the standard six-speed manual, the Cadillac ATS-V yields EPA-estimated fuel economy of 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. While that manual might be the preferred choice for true driving enthusiasts, the automatic is the transmission of choice for those looking to conserve fuel. That’s because the ATS-V equipped with the eight-speed automatic yields improved efficiency of 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Furthermore, every 2017 Cadillac ATS-V comes with a 16-gallon fuel tank.
