The Cadillac ATS Coupé will arrive in Europe in October

The Cadillac ATS Coupé arrives in European markets this October, ready to carve out a place in a tough segment where almost every brand has one or several representatives. The American brand is prepared to fight in this segment, targeting the young European buyer and offering a car it is confident they will like.

It will arrive in Europe with the modified 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 272 CV and 400 Nm of maximum torque. This powerplant offers 14% more power than its saloon version and achieves an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds.

Specific output stands at 138 CV/litre, making this unit one of those with the best power-to-litre ratio in its segment. It delivers 90% of its maximum torque between 2,100 and 3,000 rpm, reaching the peak at 3,000 and maintaining it up to 4,600 rpm. Engine power is transmitted through a six-speed automatic gearbox.

The Cadillac ATS Coupé will be equipped in its European version with LED daytime running lights and bi-xenon headlights with the Adaptive Lighting System. The rear lights, including the central brake light, will also feature LED lighting.

Inside we find the CUE infotainment system, centralised on an LCD touchscreen. A wireless charging system for mobile phones will be available in the centre console. Simply place a compatible handset in the Powermat space and it will charge without the need for cables.

As a car aimed at young buyers, it is also fitted with the gadgets any of them would want in their car. For example, Bluetooth connectivity for the phone, a USB port and SD card slots. It also has a voice recognition system and reads text messages aloud. All of it designed to surprise and make this one of the options for driving a great American car on European roads.
