Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

The 2017 Cadillac ATS is the luxury automaker’s best-selling car. Blessed with stylish good looks, two lively engine options, and enough tech equipment to make Silicon Valley jealous, it’s not hard to see why this model has become so popular. Initially released for the 2013 model year, the ATS has grown up a lot since then and it’s now considered one of the best handling cars that Cadillac has ever produced. That’s saying something when you consider the company has been around since 1902.

What’s New for the 2017 Cadillac ATS?

Like other new models from GM, the 2017 Cadillac ATS now comes standard with Teen Driver technology. This system allows vehicle owners to set maximum speed limits for secondary drivers, which is useful for families with teenagers who are just getting their feet wet behind the wheel. Another new standard feature is the CUE infotainment system along with its eight-inch touchscreen. Other changes include the loss of the 2.5-liter engine option on the sedan model and heated seats are now standard on the Luxury trim for the coupe.

2017 Cadillac ATS Efficiency

The efficiency of the 2017 Cadillac ATS is dependent on each buyer’s powertrain selection, as well as their decision between RWD and AWD. The most affordable version of the ‘17 Cadillac ATS comes with the turbo-four, an eight-speed automatic, and RWD. With this equipment, the new ATS yields an EPA-estimated 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. In contrast, fuel economy slips to 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway when the ATS is equipped with the optional V6, eight-speed automatic, and AWD.
