Slipping into the front seats of
the Cadillac ATS, it’s nearly impossible to tell this is a GM product. Interior
design is crisp, and intuitive. Little details are sprinkled all over the interior
of the car to let off the idea that a bit more thought went into the making of
this machine. Our tester came with the Jet Black interior, which features
silver trim with unique etchings. Other, far more exciting interior colors are
available on the ATS, including a sporty red leather accented with carbon
fiber.
Highlighting the interior is a huge touchscreen, featuring
Cadillac’s new CUE (Cadillac User Experience) operating system. CUE is
reasonably responsive and features nifty tricks taken right from your
smart-phone, like pinch-to-zoom on the maps and haptic feedback when making
screen selections. In front of the driver an extension of CUE is present in the
form of a customizable LCD screen. Both the main infotainment screen and the
driver display are highly configurable and give you a wonderful sense of
freedom and personalization.
