Shanghai GM has announced that it will launch the Cadillac ATS-L luxury sport sedan on August 15.

The newest member of the Cadillac family is based on the ATS, which went on sale in China at the end of last year. Its wheelbase has been extended 85 mm to provide additional legroom and headroom for passengers riding in the back seat.

The ATS-L retains the sportiness, perfectly balanced proportions and performance of the ATS to suit the preferences of younger, successful customers. It incorporates a redesigned front fascia that contributes to its stylish and sporty aura. In addition, ergonomic enhancements have been made to the rear seats to further improve comfort.

Powering the ATS-L is a 2.0L SIDI turbocharged engine, which was named one of Ward's 10 Best Engines in 2013. The ATS-L generates segment-leading power of 205 kW and peak torque of 400 Nm. The result is 0-100 km/h acceleration of only 6.2 seconds.

Like the ATS, the ATS-L offers a nimble and thrilling ride. It retains a 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution; a high-strength, lightweight architecture; Brembo brakes; a Magnetic Ride Control suspension; and high-performance run-flat tires.
