Cadillac really wants to compete with the best of the European sports coupes the 2015 aks final just needs a little bit of refinement to get it there the 2015 ATS coupe is the two-door version of Cadillacs entry-level model the ATS with this new generation they've really smoothed over some of the edges made it look a little more normal in the center here I've got a touch screen this is what Cadillac calls Q the Cadillac user experience now this comes standard in every 80s but navigation is actually an option I add on to the system I have it on this car if I press the button here I get to see the mass the maps are very rich I get really good looking buildings here what I don't like about the system is its kind of slow when you first start up the car entering into destination can take a while because that all takes a little while to boot up and that's kind of frustrating because that's when you really want to enter a destination I have a 4G data connection built in in this car that's for OnStar that's what you'll find in most new GM vehicles these days for audio sources along with Pandora I have three USB ports I've got two in the console here and one hidden end of this little pouch here I can actually put my phone in here and just hide it away and keep it plugged in I've got HD radio and satellite radio as well an bluetooth streaming in this performance trim version of the ATS I get a few driver assistance features I get a forward collision warning little flash of red light if I'm about to hit another car I get Lane Keeping Assist which it'll actually turn the wheel if I'm about to drift over a lane line I also have a very good reverse camera here if I put it in reverse it shows two dirty lines and also if I'm about to hit an object behind me they're all very useful we have two engines available for the Cadillac ATS one is a 3.6 liter v6 the other is a 2 liter 4-cylinder with turbo charging now that's engine we have in this car and it's pretty impressive because it puts out 272 horsepower 295 pound-feet of torque that's 14 more torque then the sedan version of this car because while the coop so Cadillac thinks it should be a little faster a little sportier that's made it to a six-speed automatic transmission you actually get a six-speed manual in this car with the automatic we have sport mode and a touring mode I have it in sport mode right now that's for your more dynamic driving that tightens up the throttle response and also engages a sport program in the automatic shifter the way to engage a sport mode is by driving hard so you got a hit the accelerator fast gets an acceleration then brake hard then accelerate again like you're going through some corners here and you can hear that engine coming up pretty strong here it's got a decent growl to it we have a fixed suspension on this vehicle this fixed suspension is okay it's good in the corners it's definitely it for handling it keeps the car very flat the 2015 Cadillac ATS coupe goes for a base price of thirty thousand nine hundred and ninety dollars but in performance trim with all-wheel drive we've got it for forty seven thousand nine hundred thirty dollars now we're gonna add navigation of the Q system for one thousand thirty dollars and the driver assistance package for three thousand four hundred sixty dollars that puts us at a total of fifty two thousand four hundred twenty dollars
