2013 Cadillac ATS Interior Spied: Center Stack Will Go Touch-Sensitive

[ATS-Guy]

Here's a look at the 2013 Cadillac ATS interior. I'm liking the center stack with the big touch screen and sleek controls right below it. Seems like this is something that will make it to production.



Our spy photographers have managed a peek inside the 2013 Cadillac ATS—a smaller rear-drive sports sedan that will slot below the CTS—and we can now confirm that it will get the same touch-sensitive controls as the upcoming STS replacement, the 2012 XTS. The ATS interior our shooters spotted features a piano-black center stack with very few hard buttons.

The XTS we spied a few months back not only had a similar array, but also wore nearly identical detailing. Our judgment on whether Cadillac’s move to a touch-sensitive control interface is a good one will have to wait until we use it ourselves, but Lincoln’s similar system gave us more than its fair share of trouble. The Cadillac ATS is expected to go on sale in early 2012 as a 2013 model, and should make its public debut at the 2012 Detroit auto show.

very nice, loving the clean yet functional look going on. big buttons, nice trim around them and it all flows well together. The vents on the side look almost exactly like the vents on the Buick verano.

The navigation along with the center controls flow really well. The screen looks pretty big. Wonder what size it is.
