2012 Cadillac ATS

Cadillac ATS is the mid-size compact sedan. The new Cadillac has long been speculated to wear the ATS badge.



The Cadillac ATS will share its platform with the next-gen Camaro. The Cadillac ATS sedan will come in 2012, and could also spawn a wagon and a convertible version. Its size and styling will put it up against the IS and G range, along with the 3-Series and C-Class.

You may think the Cadillac CTS already fits that segment, but the C-Class is a 5-Series sized car, despite being competitive on price with the next set down. An upcoming Cadillac DTS replacement in the form of the Cadillac XTS, also due in 2012, will offer a larger car to compete with the 7-Series, S-Class and Lexus' LS line, putting the Cadillac CTS into better perspective.

Positioning a car like the Cadillac ATS in a lower price range might be a very good strategy.

The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid and it's V8 6.0 engine was the first SUV from the luxury segment. The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid stands from the rest of it's family with distinctive features: exclusive grille and front bumper, 22" wheels, LED lights and white & blue interior lights.

The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid carries the GM Two-Mode Hybrid system. The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid system consists of an Electric Variable Transmission (EVT), the Energy Storage System, and a NiMH battery pack improve the fuel efficiency.

Thanks to this system, along with others like the Active Fuel Management (which disconnects four cylinders when not all are needed) the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid is 40% more efficient than traditional models according to EPA.
Considering the size and the 337 HP of the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, those numbers aren't bad at all. Capable of running with E85 fuel, the emissions can be reduced even more.
