2019 Cadillac ATS-V: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2019 is that the Cadillac ATS-V becomes coupe-only after the sedan leaves the lineup. The remaining coupe carries over without a major mechanical redesign for the model’s final year.
About the 2019 Cadillac ATS-V
1st and only ATS-V generation (2016-2019), final year; coupe only for 2019.
Cadillac positions the ATS-V as the smallest, sharpest V-Series: a compact rear-drive performance coupe built to feel at home on a track but still usable every day. Its core appeal is a strong twin-turbo V6, quick responses, adaptive suspension, big brakes and a premium interior. For most shoppers, it is the driver-focused Cadillac performance coupe that prioritizes agility over size.
The sole 2019 ATS-V is a focused luxury performance coupe with a 464-hp twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 and rear-wheel drive. Its standout hardware includes an adaptive suspension, powerful Brembo brakes and standard carbon-fiber body parts, while the cabin has heated sport seats and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
