凯迪拉克对2017款ATS做出调整，新车不再提供2.5升四缸自然进气引擎，入门级车型只搭载272马力2.0升四缸涡轮引擎。这款搭载2.0升的ATS起价35590美元（约合人民币23.66万元），比2016款车型增加了1380美元，当然新车也增加了更多标配。目前，该车标配CUE信息娱乐系统并 集成8英寸触控显示屏，博士环绕音响，倒车摄像头。虽然入门级车型价格增加，但其他版本的价格分别下降了650到1100美元。ATS是凯迪拉克为应对宝马3系和奔驰C级推出的同级车型，不过该车性能方面一直不让另外两款车，而它的市场表现也让人失望。今年前五个月，ATS销量比去年同期下降了23%，市场份额从2013年起一直在下降，目前在紧凑豪华市场所占份额为4.5%。

 

Cadillac drops the base engine in the 2017 ATS

Cadillac, in an effort to boost sales of the slow moving ATS, is making some changes to the 2017 model. Most notably, the luxury manufacturer is dropping the base 2.5-liter normally-aspirated four-cylinder engine from the lineup, leaving the 272 hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four as the base engine.

 

The base 2.0-liter ATS will start at $35,590, $1,380 more than the 2016 model, though that's partially offset by more standard equipment. The base model now comes standard with Cadillac's controversial CUE infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen display, a Bose surround-sound speaker system, and a backup camera. Despite the bump in price for the base model, all other ATS trim levels will see prices reduced between $650 and $1,100, depending on the model.

 

The ATS was designed to be Cadillac's answer to the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Though the ATS was originally released at a time where the Germans were slightly off their game, it's never quite matched up in terms of performance or customer perception posting disappointing sales figures compared to the competition.

 

ATS sales have fallen 23 percent through May versus 2015. The car's market share has fallen every year since 2013, currently occupying just 4.5 percent of the compact luxury market.
