Today, Cadillac took the covers off one of the biggest mysteries of the new ATS sedan…what engines will be underhood.
Highlighted are a brand new direct injection, turbocharged 2.0l 4-cylinder delivering 270hp and 260lb*ft of torque. This is a new 2.0 with debut technologies such as a variable displacement oil pump. Efficiency and power-density are being touted by Cadillac, though we’ll have to wait for ultimate mpg figures closer to launch day.
In addition to this high-tech turbo, the ATS will also offer a non-turbo 2.5l (likely the same engine expected to power the Chevrolet Malibu and put out approximately 190hp). At the top of the line, and likely aimed at more traditional Cadillac buyers, will be a version of the 3.6l direct injection V-6 putting out about 50hp more than the turbo 2.0 but approximately the same torque. We fully expect the turbo to the be preferred engine at altitude and to likely provide better overall performance since its torque will be more accessible (90% is stated to be available from 1500-5800 rpm). What we don’t know yet is which engines will be offered with the manual – though it seems reasonable that the V-6 will be automatic only.
Expect even more details over the coming weeks as we get closer to the debut in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
