Has the Cadillac ATSL been discontinued?
2 Answers
Cadillac ATSL has been discontinued. Here is the relevant introduction of Cadillac ATSL: Power: 2.0T-SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 279Ps (5500rpm) and a maximum torque of 400Nm (2900rpm-4600rpm). The new 8AT transmission replaces the original 6AT. Configuration: The front suspension features a double-pivot McPherson strut, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. The subframe and other parts are made of aluminum alloy, providing a lightweight and high-strength body structure.
The Cadillac ATS-L has indeed been discontinued. It was launched around 2013 and gradually phased out around 2019, replaced by the newer CT5. The reason, I think, is mainly due to General Motors' product update strategy, as they shifted focus to the new rear-wheel-drive platform and technologies, such as more fuel-efficient engines and intelligent driving systems. As a car enthusiast who frequently follows new models, I've driven the ATS-L, and its driving experience was fantastic—unfortunately, now you can only find used ones. There are still plenty of inventory and second-hand options on the market, but remember to check the maintenance records to avoid problematic cars. If you like Cadillac's sporty style, the CT5 is a great successor, offering stronger performance and better eco-friendliness. Discontinuation isn't all bad—it drives brand innovation and gives consumers more choices when upgrading.
