Cadillac ATS 2.0T vs BMW 335i Mashup 0-60 MPH Performance Test

[@cadrolls]

Cadillac is not only as good as the BMW, Cadillac is BETTER than the BMW. Cadillac is not only less expensive to purchase but, it is also less expensive to insure and repair too. Cadillac uses PREMIUM Italian leather for both sides of the seats, door panels, and dashboard whereas BMW comes standard with cheap vinyl and plastic. Cadillac doesn't just build great luxury cars, you know... They build CADILLACS♥

[@MartialBob]

Wouldn't the test had been more fair if you used the top of the line ATS which has a 3.6L V6 engine and 321 HP?

[@dawudjaleel8783]

The 3.6. Is trash2.0 is better more mods

[@Dev_Everything]

Why compare a 4cyl caddy to a 6cyl anything? Cadillac makes a V6 why not use it to make it fair? I didnt like this video at all.

[@JonDZ_Adventuring]

+Dev Everything pretty sure the normally aspirated 3.6L V6 will do worse 0-60 where they test cars in Colorado. Now if your talking about the ATS-V.... that's in a whole different league of car.... that'st a monster of a car. Does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds at sea level.

[@Dev_Everything]

I have owned a 2.0 and now I own a 3.6 and I can tell you they are landslides apart. The 3.6 is a lot faster. Go test drive one and see for yourself!

[@JonDZ_Adventuring]

+Dev Everything my 4.0 fj cruiser that does 0-60 in an okay 6.8 seconds chuggalugs up at 8000 feet. My guess is it takes 9 seconds? Forced induction cars don't have as much of a problem at the altitude they test these cars at. The ATS-v that combines twin turbo's to that 3.6 liter making 465 hp that can be used in the high altitudes.

[@DogStarr777]

Because that's what they do ! Compare 300 Hemi against a Taurus that is not a SHO ! But I do support gay marriage and car reviews.

[@kennethmcroy7722]

I do not like a 4cyl, no one's period!! If gas mileage is your concern, then buy a toyota!! Six or eight cylinder with twin turbos, only!!!!!

[@KeshaIsHot808]

i would still take the ATS over the bmw

[@602x10tothe23]

The ATS's engine bay is in fact large enough to fit a 7.0L engine. Now that would be crazy. The ATS-V is definitely coming, I can't wait to see what GM comes up with

[@steve5182]

lol v6

[@ashegheaty]

ya there also planning to compare a fiat 500 with a bugatti chiron . why not ????

[@DJCamYank]

Motor Trend compared the 6-cylinders (along with the MB C-class) and gave the nod to ATS.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

With the same engine, a V6, the Cadillac hovers around the same time. Some show it faster, others slower. Handling on a track the Cadillac does a little better in most online tests. Reviewers generally say they would take the BMW still, mostly because of the Cue system. It comes down to do you want an American or German car? I regard this as a win for Cadillac as they are finally building drivers cars that people want. Their sales numbers show this. People have a choice now.

[@WannabeSS]

Love the ATS. Such a rewarding car to drive.

[@mprousis424]

CTS would would be a better comparison to the 335i and like James below says, the 2.0T would better test against a 328i.

[@mprousis424]

What!? That doesn't make any sense, sorry. That's why there are different CLASSES of cars. Do your research before you start calling people idiots.

[@xavier0237]

+Marcus Prousis That's wrong. The 3.6 liter ATS would be the most appropriate competitor to the 335. The CTS now competes with the 5 series, E-Class, A6. Completely different class of car. Also, it's a "Mashup". It's not supposed to be an apples to apples comparison. I've been subscribed to this channel for a while, they do this type of thing quite often and on purpose.

[@ClockDesignCo]

2 less cylinder not forgetting the litre less capacity? Stupid test!

[@theuropean]

Subtract 1.0 to 1.5 seconds from these guys reviews and then you get the real 0-60. It almost seems like this is more of a comedy thing than actual car review, not trying to be harsh but Fast Lane Car needs more professional drivers.

[@TFLcar]

Yes it was very windy, and yes we tested it in both direction, and yes we got the identical time on both runs.

[@602x10tothe23]

I disagree with your first point. GM has already stated that a turbo V6 would not get any better fuel economy than the small block. Hence why the Corvette received a V8 and not a turbo V6. Anecdotally, my Trans Am with an LS1 got 31mpg on the highway, without direct injection, cylinder deactivation, or any of the other tech that went into the new LT1. On your second point, I think that's why they'll go naturally aspirated on the ATS-V to make it more pure sporty, and supercharge the CTS-V

[@huntermain8679]

Okay, wait. People time and time again have uploaded videos showcasing the quick 0-60 run of a STOCK ATS 2.0L Turbo. I's about 5.8-6.0 seconds. How the hell do you guys manage 7 seconds?!

[@daniel27560]

bad driver

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

YOU are extremely wrong. Its rated at 5.4 but i personally own this car and have it 4.9 on a great day. I've beat a 2017 stingray and a 2019 Mustang GT. Barely one by a car length or two on both races but winning is winning whether by an inch or a mile. However i do have the 2018 version. 2.0T Luxury edition but i doubt that makes the car much faster. My cobalt went from 0-60 in 7 seconds and my ATS is WAYYYY faster than my cobalt was. LOL.

[@sirloin4372]

@@EliteOnTheBeat there is no way you did 4.9 unless the car has been tuned etc. I have a 2013 2.0t and it’s 0-60 is mid 5’s

[@williambellah840]

@@sirloin4372 prob def has a tune tho ur right lol.

[@Trades46]

The Small block will be highly unlikely to appear on the ATS. My guess is the ATS-V will get a uprated 3.6 V6TT derived from the CTS new engine, maybe with a higher state of tune around ~480hp. This is for 2 reasons: 1. Fuel economy. The F30 M3 is already announced to a have boosted I6 as an example. 2. V8 in the small Caddy in the eyes of marketing department may clash with the CTS-V if they shared similar engines.

[@1992bthomas]

Those v8's also weight 500+ pounds. A V8 will set the weight distribution off balance

[@76carmel]

Somewhere in the channel, he did do a head-to-head mashup, match-up with the Audi A6 and the BMW 5 Series (535i Xdrive).

[@eyeswideopen23]

[@Patrick-gh3fq]

Why didn't you guys use the 3.6 litre v6 for the ATS?

[@stchman]

You are aware that the ATS has an optional 3.6L 321HP V6?

[@michaelbyrd5573]

You are aware its alot slower than the 2.0 right? The 2.0 is faster. I believe in both the ATS and the CTS. Slap TT on that 3.6 and then you'll be quicker. If one seriously wanted speed then step right up and get a V

[@Blankadoodledo]

Haa...you guys are great. I always enjoy watching your videos.

[@k.m.church7707]

I've been driving Cadillacs all my life and have rarely had a problem. All the people I knew who had BMWs had reported all kinds of serious problems that my Cadillacs never had. I travel more as a result. I KNOW Cadillac will get me back home again.

[@bmwmsport11]

Ignore my username for a second. I think the BMW wins over the caddy handsdown. Not because I love BMWs or that I don't believe in GM. The BMW looks more refined. I think GM still can do some work on the ATS, especially the interior. Those gauges look like their lifted from a DTS. And the audio/climate look like their from the XTS. Their putting styling from a car designed for older class people, into a car designed for the young.

[@vetman544]

ATS is a pretty good car! Looks a lot smaller in person though. Even though its not good enough to beat the mighty 3 series, but I came along way compared to what Cadillacs used to be like.

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

Yeah I saw it too and in person I would prefer a CTS maybe

[@paulcondie2520]

Good enough to beat the 3 series, proven! ATS-V.....

[@goatmonkey2112]

Cadillac has a V6 for the ATS that would be not too much slower than the 335 at least at sea level. The 335 is probably still the solid winner in the mountains though. I'm interested to see if Cadillac puts that twin turbo 420hp V6 into the ATS as an ATS-V. It was announced a few days ago as one of the standard engines to be offered in the next CTS. Also, that Maserati is awesome, why don't they make cars like that anymore?

[@sirloin4372]

That 4 cylinder caddy does 0-60 in mid 5’s so you should be able to match him easily. Why where your runs so slow?

[@skauern2]

it's more important with the power than the cylinders, you can get evos with 400 horses and a 2liter 4 cylinder.

[@cadrolls]

If this were the CTS-V, the outcome would have been different. The ATS uses premium Italian leather on the dashboard, door panels, and seats though. 70% of all new ATS owners are coming from German car owners now. THAT says alot. Have you seen Cadillac's new red/black combination interior? WOW! I don't think you would miss your BMW at all. LOL :)

[@bennicool888]

He is down now. Since October his accounts Veeman/Coleman/Cadrolls & Co. are offline

[@602x10tothe23]

That's an outdated view. The Corvette, Camaro, and Mustang don't really have any good competition (on the track) in their price range from foreign cars. That's last-gen domestic sport cars vs mostly new competition. They're all losing hundreds of pounds for the new generations that are coming out in the next couple years and getting some pretty hefty power bumps and suspension upgrades.

[@Ksole89]

Why didn't they bring the ATS V6 awd?

[@tommy605]

Probably for two reasons. One, maybe only the 2.0 was available to them. Second, at a mile above sea level, the turbo would probably be just as quick as the NA v6. Best chance to match a time is with forced air injection.

[@MrPunch09]

tommy605 Price wise and power wise the CTS4 (v6 TT) is a more direct comparison to the 335iX. I see the BMW 335iX for $60k-$70k and similar for the CTS4 (V6TT).

[@tommy605]

MrPunch09 Maybe price wise and power, but they're in different classes. Might as well compare to the Porsche Panamera too then.

[@MrPunch09]

Nah, the price point can double when you do that. Point is if you want to spend the money on 335iX fine. But don't ignore the fact that this comparison is a fallacy.

[@shazmaster]

That's what im saying, why don't you compare 4cyl to 4cyl?

[@FranzKrammer4746]

German owners esp at the higher economic levels are very fussy about perfection in engineering...so they complain more than any American admirers about their most valued possessions. Cognititve dissonance theory will always assure that if an American spends this much money on a car.... he is guaranteed to love it...Germans and Europeans will still keep a critical eye open

[@wsc31]

The normally aspirated 3.6 might have been even slower when the effect of altitude on power is considered. Personally I would go with the 3.6 , if my wife let me buy the car ;-)

[@b58forever]

😂😂😂

[@602x10tothe23]

I feel like the small displacement turbo motors don't really get great gas mileage in the real world though. My Mazdaspeed6 with a 2.3 turbo engine gets about equal gas mileage to the Trans Am I used to have, 20-25mpg combined. It just seems to fool government testing Tri-turbo, huh. That looks interesting. I6 turbos have been shown to have great potential in the past, like the 2JZ. That could be a nasty car

[@guagiro1301]

thanks for read and reply my comment. Yes, is truth, they both have engines with similar features to make it competitive and equal the comparative.

Note that the Trans Am only had to deal with late 1990s emission standards and such. Govt. is coming down hard on these regulations, hence why the Germans are using Forced Induction to achieve high power/ low emissions. Overcoming this will be hard without massive R&D budget, which at this time GM doesn't have.
