2018 Cadillac ATS Coupe hunts the BMW 4 Series and Audi A5

A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine serves as the base engine for the Cadillac ATS Coupe.

In base trim, the ATS Coupe features 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.

A six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic are the transmission options for ATS Coupe's with the four-cylinder engine.

For sharper handling, an optional V-Sport suspension package is offered that adds 18-inch summer tires and a stiffer suspension.

The black chrome grille on this Cadillac ATS Coupe is an $820 dealer-installed option.

To make the 2.0-liter turbo four sound meaner, a performance exhaust system is available for $1,650.

When paired with the eight-speed automatic, the ATS Coupe with the four-cylinder turns 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.

All ATS Coupes feature Brembo front brake calipers.

The contrasting black and Morello Red interior is a $1,295 option.

The ATS Coupe's front bucket seats are comfortable and offer descent side support, but the rear seats are better left for the kids.
