Cadillac ATS-L created for China

Buyers of premium cars in China place much status on having plenty of rear-seat room, which is why manufacturers will develop extended-wheelbase models especially for that market.

The latest recipient of this treatment is the Cadillac ATS. In the transition to ATS-L, it has been stretched by a fairly modest 85 mm (3.3”).

All of the additional length appears aft of the B-pillar. As a result, passengers sitting in the back benefit from extra legroom and headroom, as well as redesigned seating.

Of course, cars like the ATS-L are proof that customers’ wants aren’t always rational. After all, if more interior space is such a priority, why not just get the larger CTS instead?
