When will the Cadillac ATS-L be replaced?
2 Answers
With the discontinuation of the ATS, the domestically produced ATS-L model is also set to be replaced before 2021. Below is relevant information about the Cadillac ATS-L: 1. Introduction to the Cadillac ATS-L: According to Cadillac's new vehicle plan before 2021, the current CTS and ATS models will be phased out, to be replaced by the Cadillac CT5 and CT4, both of which will continue to be built on a rear-wheel-drive platform. In addition to the ATS replacement, Cadillac will also introduce a new 7-seater SUV model—the XT6, positioned between the XT5 and Escalade, which may compete with products like the Lincoln Aviator and Audi Q7 in the future. 2. Features of the Cadillac ATS-L: The currently available (2017 model) Cadillac ATS-L was launched on December 22, 2016. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4730mm in length, 1824mm in width, and 1426mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2860mm. Under the hood, it is powered by a 2.0T-SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 279 horsepower and a peak torque of 400 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been following Cadillac's model updates closely. The ATS-L was officially discontinued in 2019, and its successor is actually the later CT4. The CT4 was launched in 2020, essentially taking over the ATS-L's position. At that time, Cadillac revamped its entire naming system, replacing previous models like the ATS and CTS with the CT series. The CT4 is larger in size and features an upgraded powertrain, utilizing a new rear-wheel-drive platform. Actually, the ATS-L had a minor facelift in 2017, which included updates to the headlights and grille design, but the true generational change wasn't completed until the CT4 arrived in 2020. If you like the sporty feel of the ATS-L, now you can only consider used cars or look directly at the CT4, since new ATS-Ls are no longer available.
