What is the fuel consumption of the Cadillac ATS?
2 Answers
Cadillac ATS-L has a fuel tank capacity of 62L, and the officially announced fuel consumption by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 7.8L/100km. Additional information is as follows: Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving: If the vehicle idles in place, the engine is still running, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will increase significantly. Moreover, under such stagnant or low-speed conditions, the vehicle is prone to carbon deposits, further increasing fuel consumption. Avoid excessive vehicle load and a full fuel tank: The lighter the vehicle's load, the higher the fuel consumption during driving. Additionally, there is no need to fill the fuel tank completely every time; adding only half a tank can also reduce the vehicle's load.
Having driven the Cadillac ATS for a while, fuel consumption really depends on specific conditions. My model is the 2.0T turbocharged rear-wheel-drive version. In city traffic with frequent stops and starts, the fuel consumption can reach 12 to 13 liters per 100 kilometers; on highway cruising, it drops to 7 to 8 liters, which is quite reasonable. The V6 version has more horsepower but higher fuel consumption, possibly reaching 14 liters in the city. I think driving habits have a significant impact—for example, aggressive acceleration or heavy use of air conditioning can instantly increase fuel consumption by about ten percent. Maintenance is also crucial. I regularly change the engine oil and check tire pressure, otherwise, reduced efficiency naturally leads to higher fuel consumption. Overall, the ATS isn’t the most fuel-efficient car, but its power and handling make it worth the extra fuel cost. It’s a bit more expensive for city commuting but more economical for long-distance trips.
