When will the Cadillac ATS-L be updated?
2 Answers
With the discontinuation of the ATS, the domestic ATS-L model will also be updated before 2021. Here is some relevant information about the Cadillac ATS-L: Introduction to the Cadillac ATS-L: According to Cadillac's new vehicle plan before 2021, the current CTS and ATS will be phased out and replaced by the Cadillac CT5 and CT4, both of which will continue to be built on the rear-wheel-drive platform. In addition to the ATS update, Cadillac will also launch a new 7-seater SUV model—the XT6, positioned between the XT5 and the Escalade. In the future, it may compete with products like the Lincoln Aviator and Audi Q7. 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 equipped with 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.
The ATS-L, as a classic model from Cadillac, left a lasting impression on me with its stunning debut in 2013. Back then, I was obsessed with its rear-wheel-drive handling, which made driving feel like adding wings to a tiger. However, according to reports, it was discontinued as early as 2019, with the replacement occurring in 2020, officially succeeded by the CT4. The CT4 is built on a new platform, featuring a more aggressive exterior design and upgrades to the 2.0T engine and intelligent driving assistance. As a car enthusiast, I believe this is part of the brand's evolution. Now that the ATS-L has become a thing of the past, I recommend fellow car enthusiasts shift their focus to the performance enhancements of the CT4 or Cadillac's future electrification trends, such as the newly launched LYRIQ electric SUV. The wheels of time roll forward, and older cars are now best suited for nostalgic collections.
