2019 Cadillac ATS: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2019 Cadillac ATS is that the sedan is gone, leaving only the coupe. The coupe itself carries over without major hardware, styling, safety, or technology updates, and 2019 is the ATS line’s final model year.
About the 2019 Cadillac ATS
1st generation ATS coupe (2015-2019), final model year; also the final year of the ATS line overall.
Cadillac marketed the ATS Coupe as a compact luxury coupe for people who care about how a car looks and feels from the driver’s seat. The brand emphasized sharp handling, quick responses, strong turbo and V6 power, Brembo braking, and a sleek, wide-stance design, while still giving the car luxury-brand touches like a Bose audio system, upscale materials, and touchscreen infotainment. Its big draw versus rivals was driver-focused road manners more than rear-seat space.
The 2019 ATS is a four-seat luxury coupe offered in four trims. Base and Luxury models use a 272-hp turbo four-cylinder, while Premium Luxury and Premium Performance get a 335-hp V6; Premium Performance stands out with adaptive suspension, a limited-slip differential, and a head-up display. Every trim has an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while upper trims add leather, heated front seats, and more driver-assistance features.
