How we verify Cadillac ATS performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Cadillac ATS trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Cadillac ATS performance FAQs
6 questions
The quickest Cadillac ATS on record is the 2016 Cadillac ATS Premium 2.0T Sedan, which runs 0–60 mph in 5.4 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.10 seconds at 99.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Cadillac ATS is the 2013 Cadillac ATS Standard 2.5 Sedan, which takes 7.4 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 15.60 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 21 verified runs, a Cadillac ATS reaches 60 mph in 5.79 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 14.27 seconds at roughly 99.1 mph.
We have verified test data for 6 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Cadillac ATS can do, not a single marketing claim.
