2017 Cadillac ATS, CTS Lineups Streamlined in Bid to Boost Sales
The 2017 Cadillac ATS and CTS lineups are being tweaked in an attempt to strengthen sales.
Cadillac says that both models’ lineups are being streamlined for consistency across the Cadillac showroom and to further emphasize the cars’ class-leading driving dynamics, but it was reported earlier that changes are being made in hopes of boosting sales. For the 2017 model year, the Cadillac ATS sedans and coupes will be available in base, Luxury, Premium Luxury and Premium Performance trims. The 2017 Cadillac CTS will be available in base, Luxury, Premium Luxury, V-Sport and V-Sport Premium trims.

Both models receive a Carbon Black sport package, two new exterior colors and new wheels for the 2017 model year, while additional upgrades and enhancements for the Cadillac CUE infotainment system include new standard technologies like myCadillac Mobile App, Teen Driver and Cadillac Collection.
As expected, the 2017 Cadillac ATS Turbo sedan becomes the entry-point for the model with Cadillac CUE, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot now standard.
The 2017 Cadillac CTS also gets a minor change to its interior with a new grille design and an all-new rear fascia with vertical exhaust orientation and valence panel changes. The front fascia changes however do not make their way to the CTS V-Sport and CTS-V models.
