2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS Win Top Honors from Automobile Magazine

The 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS models have been granted the Best Medium Luxury Car and Best High Tech Luxury American Car Awards, respectively, by one of the Middle East’s leading auto publications, Automobile Magazine and its related TV program which airs on Future TV.

The Cadillac ATS – which boasts a 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine estimated at 321 horsepower and 373 Nm of torque – was built from the ground-up and developed on an all-new, lightweight rear-drive architecture. The vehicle reflects a new expression of Cadillac’s Art & Science execution philosophy, centered on a foundation of driving dynamics and mass efficiency.

The most technologically-advanced production car in the brand’s history, the all-new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan debuts Cadillac CUE, a comprehensive in-vehicle experience that merges intuitive design with auto industry-first controls and commands for information and media.
