Also, the lightweight forged aluminum wheels and brake calipers are offered in three finishes,
allowing owners to personalize the presence of the ATS-V.
Performance-focused cabin
The aura of track-inspired precision carries over to the interior, where the design and
relationship of key components are aimed squarely at performance-driving ergonomics.
“With the performance the new ATS-V is capable of delivering, the interior needs to be as
functional as the other vehicles systems,” said Smith. “All of the contact points – the steering
wheel, seats, shifter and pedals – are designed to make performance driving experiences direct
and intuitive.”
New, available 16-way-adjustable RECARO performance front seats are the lynchpins for the
driving experience, with aggressive, adjustable bolsters that help hold the driver and front
passenger in place during high-load cornering. They also have a luxury-performance feel,
trimmed in Mulan leather with sueded microfiber inserts and seatbacks.
The rest of the interior features Cadillac’s handcrafted cut-and-sew elements, with decorative
stitching and authentic materials, including carbon fiber. Three interior color combinations are
offered: Jet Black, Jet Black with Saffron accents and Light Platinum with Jet Black accents.
The ATS-V also features a unique version of the 5.7-inch, three-window instrument panel cluster
display, with V-Series graphics and distinctive gauge readouts. It is also equipped with the latest
connectivity technologies from Cadillac, including:
• CUE with Bluetooth connectivity with natural voice recognition
• Text-to-voice that converts incoming text messages to speech and reads them over the
audio system speakers
• USB, auxiliary and SD memory card ports
• OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.
The Performance Data Recorder is controlled via CUE’s color touch screen and recordings can
be reviewed on the screen when the vehicle is parked.
The 2016 Cadillac ATS-V also features the latest in phone integration technology through Apple
Car Play, which allows smartphone users to connect with applications such as navigation,
hands-free text messaging, entertainment and news directly through the CUE display screen.
Connectivity is simple as iPhone features (on iPhone 5 and later) are displayed on the screen
and can be controlled by voice commands through a steering wheel button, helping drivers keep
their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
