- Motor1 Senior Editor Jake Holmes takes a Cadillac ATS-V for a spin to find out if it can really hang with the heavy-hitting German mainstays of the compact luxury segment.
For more Cadillac ATS-V: www.motor1.com/cadillac/ats-v/
As-tested price: $77,085
The small sports-sedan segment follows a pretty well-worn formula: take your entry-luxury car and add a whole bunch more power, grip, and chassis capability. For decades, BMW and Mercedes have owned that class, but for the past few years there’s been a challenger from the U.S. The Cadillac ATS-V, like the larger and more powerful CTS-V, is an all-American take on the sports-sedan model.
Cadillac comes to the table with a strong biturbocharged V6, Magnetic Ride Control suspension, Brembo brakes, Recaro seats, and functional aerodynamics that stick the car to the road even at 189 miles per hour. See how that all works out in the real world as we put the ATS-V through our Why Buy? treatment.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Engine: 3.6-Liter Biturbocharged V6
Output: 464 Horsepower / 445 Pound-Feet
Transmission: 6-Speed Manual
EPA Fuel Economy: 16 City / 23 Highway / 19 Combined

Time to own a Cadillac again. Last one I luved was a Fleetwood. Now a sport sedan sounds and looks splendidly appropriate
Well done review. This car isn't for everyone and that's part of the appeal.
I test drove an ATS-V, and it was incredible! Point-and-shoot track weapon. Tight, nimble, predictable. Adequate power. Lots of fun. Too bad Cadillac ended the model.
Ct4 is basically same car.
@@adamhayden5152 Similar but better!
This video helped me decide. I purchased a 2018 ATS-V last month. I absolutely love it. In the right hands ,I truly believe it will out perform my 16 ZO6. .
The only thing I don't like about it, is the Recaro seats . They are so uncomfortable, just a bit to much racey ,for a Cadillac, even if it is a V series.
Really? Took me a while to get comfortable in the recaro on V2 but once i got used to it and got the settings down, it was awesome even on long trips
Def looking into thos for a new business / luxury sports fun vehicle
The Recaro seats were the reason I didn't consider the ATS-V ... it was impossible to find one without them .... so I went with a 2019 AMG C43 coupe ... better vehicle at almost $8k less.
@@alnebular lmao did you really just say a C43 is better than a ATS-V? The C43 is slow and handles meh, it doesn’t have any of the modifications that make it a real AMG. It’s cheap for a reason because it’s all badge no performance
Dude, I have an 18 z06 and this ATS-V and.. Nope, not even close.
This car is actually nice and love the seating position.
I'm a proud owner of an ats-v with the new 8 speed paddle shift transmission and this car is insanely quick. I'm doing lapping every month since 3 years now .. and this Cadillac is handling the track like a pro against Porsches, Audi's, BMWs etc.. bring it on
What’s your avg 0-60 time?
@@chaffycaesar8026 3.7 sec. Now with Trifecta stage 1 tune, 3.0. quartier mile 11.6
Where exactly are you taking your car too race I want to get into that

Why do you guys always whine about CUE? While whining you futilely swipe at the volume slider. I understand your frustration. Here’s an idea… try looking at the steering wheel. Try the owners manual. Try being fair. There is a volume control by your right thumb.
Thanks for picking that up. I just gave up and started using the volume control on the steering wheel on my ATS and CTS.
Mine works fine! I have a 2015 ats and Cadillac put an upgraded cue in when i bought it used, cadillac certified in early 2019. Absolutely love this car. It's a 3.6 with premium performance pkg. Black on black on black. Oem 19s shiny black. Looking for a black v coupe! My ats with the performance pkg is no slouch! Can't imagine how the V runs? Did alot of researching and alot of crazy engineering went into these cars!
I daily drive an ATS-V. Completely comfortable and versatile. Its the most fun car I have ever driven and is a real stand out. I couldn't recommend it more.
Hi, after a year would you still recommend it? I want to daily one as well. I'm on the verge of buying one

Did you come here to hear about the ATS V or to bang the guy giving the video??? Things that make you go hhhmmm.......
@@c6drives180 like macgruber
Hahahahaha. F^ck these other comments. That was THE first thing I thought. He's either lying or his parents were 1st cousins. You definitely beat me to this post.
why do no reviewers of Cadillacs know you have to TOUCH THE SILVER ON THE QUE SYSTE, NOT THE BLACK
It would be helpful if you added a golf bag to the storage montage in these reviews. Curious if it would fit in the ATS-V without the seats down.
We can definitely consider adding that in the future. Hopefully the large suitcases give you some kind of context for the size.

Yes the V-8 in the Mercedes Benz C63 will sound better than the Turbo V-6 in the ATS-V.
V-8 always sounds better than a V-6 no question about it.
Except when it's an opinion and not everyone agrees.
Exactly; I prefer the exhaust note of 6 to be honest.
Daniel Bustos Don't agree; the ATS-V on Sport or Track mode opens the exhaust gate and sounds excellent
Chevy SS is the winner in my opinion..v8 roar and a 6 speed.
Except on all poerches and f type jaguars, their six cylinder over shadows most v8 ... Maybe because most v8s don't rev high with the exception of the 350r all Ferraris and the 918 spider..
The thing I don't like about these reviews , is that the testers have driven everything from the most expensive , to the cheapest . To a person like me , their opinion can become biased , complaints meaningless . I've only ever driven budget friendly cars . So I don't mind buying a base model Cadillac ATS and won't have any complaints . I've never driven a BMW or Mercedes .
All the controls for the radio were on the steering wheel also so I don't understand why it's a hard time and why you have to take your eyes off the road
CUE system is better than my BMW iDrive interface; just takes a learning curve.
you drunk?
Aram Garibyan lol.
had this on my 13 ATS and 14 CTS, and it wasn't that bad, except when trying to look up an address on the map.
The trunk space is fine. This is not a Family car! Check out the Tall Guy review. His 6'6'' friend laid down in the trunk.
Don't use the touch slider for the volume, dummy. I'm am ATS owner , and I just use the volume control on the steering wheel for finer control.
The size of a trunk would never be a reason why I wouldn’t buy a car. I could careless🤷🏽♂️
You would change your mind if you're an Uber driver that does many Airport runs. 13 ATS was a great compact for that duty, the later models reduced the passthrough area.
I find all of these overadjustable seats to be seriously superfluous. All those motors weigh something serious and I haven't adjusted my seat since I bought my car over a year ago.
You're obviously not married!
Yeah those electric moving seats can adjust in ways manual seats can't ever. They're are beautifully comfortable to sit in.
You guys managed to find the most boring way to review a car!!
That's because they don't want you to look any further into this car that's really better than an M3! Check out Head-2-Head review. The numbers tell the truth!
Luckily I'm a small person this car won't be a bother to me
ATS-V has a ***twin turbo*** V6. Bi-turbo would mean the 2 turbos are different sizes, with the smaller turbo used to help spool up the larger turbo.
This guy is British or Australian. Bi-Turbo probably means the same as we'd say here in the States as Twin- Turbo
Twin Turbo...
I don't get this guy. It's like American then switches to an English accent when he wants to. I see fake here. He will say the same exact word in American accent, then few minutes later it's totally changed to an English British accent. Make up your mind.
Maybe, like me, he moved to North America after growing up in the UK but has lived here long enough to pick up the accent.
Excuse me buddy but I'm gonna need to see some ID if you want me to believe that you're 28 😳
bi turbo? no it's twin turbo.
"Biturbo" is our style for saying twin-turbo. There are two turbos on this engine, regardless of how you say it.
"bi turbo" and "twinturbo" are two different setups.
Jake Holmes wrong. Biturbo and twin turbo are different. One is two equal size turbos that work at the same time. The other is one small turbo on larger turbo, good for low end torque and high end power.
@@jakeholmes1760 wtf :'D ahahahhahaaha
If you buy an ats v you get this guy holding your spare tire for you. Not a host. Stick to writing.
CTSV 640 HP
Everything is nice, but CUE and those ugly gauges for the speedometer.
God I hate watching videos That have no car sounds no exhaust no lift off the throttles nothing boring I don't watch this videos to hear you people talk I watch it to see the car.
First......fml
Spooky san very
Amazing, how muck shit can you put in a sport sedan?
999 out 1000 days? Who gives a shit?
The suv created this testing segment for a family of 4, and a soccer mom!
Let’s drop it from the sport performance review! Good god!
Good car and good drive, however interior feels extremely cheap and is miles behind German rivals . CUBE also needs a huge update
Who cares about storage
who cares about the trunk
Someone who has a woman with them, going on vacation. So you should be fine.
"... the big wheels"
Buy a Lexus, much more reliable and as a bonus you get the best resale value in the business
scobra02 Then how do you explain Lexus leading the pack every single year in reliability ratings?
People buy cars for the best experience in this class of car. Reliability is always a concern on most fronts but this car would be plenty reliable. You're forgetting they all have warranties.
Except that the steering feel of the Lexus is like rubber, a Toyota is also reliable, and about as exciting for less money.
matthebest018 Lexus i would buy without worrying about buying an extended warranty, the others i would lease, if i bought a Cadillac for example i would definitely buy the best extended warranty possible
Derreck Caldwell speed limits range between 55 to 70 mph in most of north america, 400+ HP is more than enough, Lexus don't engineer and design their cars to be 1/4 mile rockets
Another bias video. Please find someone else to do these video next time
Tino Miller How is this a bias video? Please elaborate.
WorldOfWars. Why down talk a car that is clearly more superior in its class ?!
I thought he made it clear this far had better driving characteristics than an M3, just with an average interior.
For the guy who wants something slower than an M3, more cramped than an M3, more cheap feeling than an M3, less advanced than an M3, the list goes on....
Overpriced union made junk. Cadillac sales have tanked. Huge depreciation once you drive this crap off the lot.
Melvin Johnson this car depreciates less than the Mercedes or the BMW. So...
