Why it stands out

The 2016 Cadillac ATS stands out as a sharper, better-equipped version of an already well-regarded luxury sedan. According to the test-drive notes, it improves on last year’s model, especially in upper trims, with a more potent, fuel-efficient engine and a better infotainment system. The same source also says the car’s chassis is competent and its road manners are impeccable, which helps explain why it remains appealing to buyers who want a sedan that feels polished and rewarding to drive.

A key update for 2016 is the new 3.6-liter V6, which adds cylinder deactivation and 12 additional horsepower. The ATS also gains Apple CarPlay, giving it a more modern in-car tech setup. Owners echo some of those strengths, praising the handling, smooth ride, and tech features, though they also point to a cramped interior, awkward entry and exit on the driver’s side, and some infotainment issues. That mix of strong dynamics and a few practical compromises gives the 2016 ATS much of its character.
