Although the 3.6L V6 has 321 hp vs the 272 hp rating of the 2L Turbo, I feel the Turbo 4 offers better balance and more opportunities for tuning.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"title\">2.0L Turbo I4 DI DOHC Engine with Variable Valve Timing<\/div>\n<p>The all-new 2.0L Turbo makes its Cadillac debut with the ATS. This dynamic engine features Dual Overhead Camshaft design, continuously Variable Valve Timing and Direct Fuel Injection for optimal performance and engine efficiency. The 2.0L Turbo boasts impressive horsepower ratings and provides peak torque through a wide RPM range, delivering immediate, responsive power in any situation. Contributing to this broad power band is a turbocharger that generates up to 20 pounds of boost with virtually no turbo lag. Drivers can choose from a sporty 6-speed automatic with tap-shift control, or the new TREMEC 6-speed manual available on rear-wheel drive models. The 2.0L Turbo powertrain produces:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"cfd_desc\">\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>272 hp @ 5500 rpm<\/li>\n<li>260 lb-ft of torque @1700-5500 rpm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here in Texas 2 wheel drive is good.  If you live where there is more snow you may prefer AWD.<\/p>\n<p>2L Turbo Premium is the all-in selection:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h1>2.0L Turbo Premium Features<\/h1>\n<p>The Premium Collection ingeniously melds sophistication with athleticism. The 2.0L Turbo direct-injected four-cylinder   272 HP engine features a 6-speed automatic transmission standard, with a Tremec 6-speed manual available. Rear-Wheel Drive includes a revolutionary Magnetic Ride Control suspension, limited-slip differential, high-capacity engine cooling and performance summer tires.<sup>1<\/sup> Inside, you\u2019ll find a full-color, reconfigurable Head-Up Display (HUD), Cadillac CUE with navigation<sup>2<\/sup> and a Bose<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> premium surround sound system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE 2.0L TURBO PREMIUM COLLECTION INCLUDES OR REPLACES FEATURES INCLUDED ON THE 2.0L TURBO PERFORMANCE TRIM, PLUS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Full-color, reconfigurable Head-Up Display (HUD)<\/li>\n<li>CUE with navigation<sup>2<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>60\/40 split fold rear seat<\/li>\n<li>Sport suspension with Magnetic Ride Control and limited-slip differential<\/li>\n<li>High-capacity engine cooling<\/li>\n<li>18\u201d machined-finish aluminum wheels<\/li>\n<li>Performance summer run-flat tires<sup>1<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Exterior<\/strong>: Crystal Red Tintcoat<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/imageinterior.gen_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13100 alignnone\" title=\"Cadillac ATS interior Light Platinum leather seating surfaces, Brownstone accents and Okapi Stripe trim\" src=\"http:\/\/caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/imageinterior.gen_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Interior<\/strong>: Light Platinum leather seating surfaces, Brownstone accents and Okapi Stripe trim<\/p>\n<p>Next we have a choice of a pair of wheel sets, either 18&#8243; x 8&#8243; front, 18&#8243; x 9&#8243; rear forged aluminum wheels with bright machined-finish (and stretched-V spokes) or  polished finish (and straight spokes).
