ATS Coupe challenges Germany’s best

Family-friendly Pilot sheds trucky styling for 2016

When the Cadillac ATS Coupe debuted more than a year ago, the stated objective was to better its German competitors at all levels.

The game plan is centred on Cadillac’s edgy styling, world-class ride and handling and technology.

For example, the new ATS Coupe is the first and only car in its class with full 4G LTE connectivity through the GM’s OnStar system.

It means the ATS Coupe is its own mobile hotspot with coverage in most of Canada. It also connects up to seven mobile devices.

Luxury styling Where the ATS Coupe excels is on interior design and choice of materials.

There are no phony trim pieces here. If it’s wood, it’s wood. The aluminum is the real thing and the same goes for the carbon fibre.

The primary engine is a 2.0litre direct injection DOHC four-cylinder with a twin scroll turbo producing 272 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque and an eightspeed automatic transmission.

Optional is GM‘s ubiquitous DOHC direct injection 3.6-litre V6 with 321 hp and 275 lb/ft of torque with six-speed automatic.

Tested here is the 2.0litre with optional electronic on demand all-wheel-drive.

Fuel numbers for the 2.0-litre are 10.8/7.8/9.4L/100 km city/highway/combined on premium fuel.

Euro-style ride and handling starts with the ATS’s platform that is 42 per cent stiffer than the current mid-size Cadillac CTS. But

With Cadillac signature edgy styling, the ATS 2016 Coupe features a number of firsts in class including full 4G LTE connectivity that turns it into a mobile hotspot.

in addition to spot welds, the body panels are glued on, which is akin to a continuous weld.

Up at the front, the MacPherson strut suspension is the latest double pivot design that is very compliant, but also increases tire contact with the road throughout suspension travel.

The ATS Coupe offers a rear fivelink independent suspension setup and is only the third Cadillac to do so after the CTS and ATS Sedans.

Brakes are discs at all four corners with Brembo-sourced units at the front with fixed cali-

pers, a first for any Cadillac.

Using a patented rotor coating, the Brembos have four pistons and really haul the car down from speed, but with very positive modulation.

Adding to all this is the available performance suspension system that starts with GM Magnetic Ride Control that “reads” the road 1,000 times per second.

It is the most reactive suspension system in the world and is so good that Ferrari uses it.

Getting in through the quite large doors reveals a wonderful mix of quality materials, the

front seats being as good in supporting the driver as they look.

Cadillac’s CUE infotainment system has Siri Eyes Free voice recognition for iPhone products, with text message alerts and wireless charging.

The downside of CUE is using a finger to prod or swipe to activate things such as temperature and audio volume. I found I had to take my eyes off the road to touch the right spot.

Driver/passenger safety features include lane keeping and Turn to page W5

It appears that hard edges and right angles are so last year - at least when it comes to family haulers.

Nearly all have shed any pretense of truckiness, in particular the mid-size SUV/CUV segment that is chock-a-block with vehicles having the same pleasing shape.

Honda Pilot was one of the few holdouts.

This three-row, mid-size crossover appeared boxy and utilitarian next to the slippery, minivan-esque profile favoured by crossovers – which have largely displaced SUVs. Mind you, by the strictest definition, just about everything in this segment is now a CUV as most are unibody, with few still employing body-on-frame platforms.

That aside, I didn’t find the Pilot’s Tonka-truck sheet metal offputting. Vehicles of this type, especially the larger ones, should have at least a whiff of brawn. But don’t take my word for it, I also had a soft spot for their now-extinct – and polarizing – Element.

So with the tastes and demands of today’s buyers in mind, Honda launched the all-new, thirdgeneration 2016 Pilot.

The exterior changes are significant, and I won’t get into the minutiae, but one can immediately see the new model is longer, lower and more steeply raked than its upright and square-windowed predecessor.

The beefy new three-bar grille with its large chrome topper neatly Turn to page W2

Favouring today’s crossover styling, the 2016 Pilot is now lower, longer and more steeply raked than its predecessor.

Pilot boasts minivan-like space in a mid-size SUV

Continued from W1 ties together the projector headlights and boomerang-shaped LEDs. And my toptrim Touring model’s sophisticated 20-inch alloys nicely filled the large and pronounced wheel arches.

Admittedly, this all-new Pilot does not look as hard-core, but neither model held that capability anyway.

It is, however, 135 kg lighter and more rigid, and has 90 mm of added length to enlarge cargo space from 2,464 litres to a whopping 3,092. Space behind the second row is now 1,583 litres and behind the third row is enough (524 litres) for a load of groceries.

Inside, the Pilot feels more like a minivan or full-size SUV. And with the available onetouch walk-in second row seats, which were captain’s chairs in my Touring model and 60/40 reclining split bench on lower trim, it’s easier to climb in back.

This 60/40 third row may not be ideal for three passengers, but it’ll work in a pinch, and two can fit easily with enough head and legroom for full-size adults.

Honda has dialed down the hard plastics, with more soft touch throughout the passenger cabin. In particular on my Touring tester that had leather upholstery, piano black faceplates and inserts, and aluminum trim – not to mention loads of infotainment and driver tech.

Of course, this comes at a cost, with a top-trim Pilot starting at $50,490.

But you can get a well-equipped ride from $35,490. The base LX-2WD comes with a six-speed automatic and rolls on 18-inch aluminum wheels. Content includes smart key with pushbutton start, heated front seats, tri-zone climate with HVAC controls in the second row, rearview camera, remote start, hill start assist and more.

There’s an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system that manages the seven-speaker, 225-watt audio, text messaging, HondaLink and vehicle settings.

EX models ($41,490) and EX-L ($44,490) add AWD with intelligent traction management, along with power moonroof, parking sensors, power tailgate, leather, heated steering, and a pile of driver aids like collision mitigation braking with forward collision warning, road departure mitigation, and lane keeping assist.

My Touring tester tops the list and was as well equipped as many premium SUVs and crossovers.

Transmission is a nine-speed automatic with paddle shifters, wheels are upgraded to 20-inch, and there are extras like blind spot information, panoramic roof and 10-speaker 540-watt premium audio, not to mention satellite navigation and nine-inch rear entertainment.

Power for all models comes from a new 3.5-litre, direct-injected V6 that can shut down three cylinders when cruising.

happened to the 280 horses? Had I left the parking brake on?

Back in normal mode, but with “sport” enabled on the push-button shifter and the Eco Assist disabled, my ride was a lot more spritely. Acceleration was brisk, and when you stomped the pedal to pass, the 1,962-kg Pilot took off like a much trimmer vehicle.

Gripes? There are a few – like the audio controls. Adjusting volume with a touchsensitive slider is a hassle next to the simplicity of twisting a knob. Ditto for audio tuning. And the push-button transmission may be a better use of space, but I prefer an old-school gear lever.

Trivial stuff, mind you, next to the Pilot’s many improvements in style, content and family-friendly utility.

Suspension ‘reads’ the road 1,000 times per second Continued from W1 lane change alerts and automatic seat belt tightening if a collision is imminent.

The turbo four-cylinder has more than enough power, but is also smooth to the point you have to keep your eyes on the speedo to stay below the limit.

I drove most of the time in Sport Mode with the engine, transmission, and drive

being very responsive and the stopping power of the Brembos impressive.

Steering inputs result in the ATS going exactly where you want — just as the very best from the German automakers.

Another thing is the quality of the paint.

The Red Obsession Tintcoat was a pricey $1,145 option but, man, did it look good.

Which leads us to price, with the

AWD Coupe starting at $51,135. With $7,400 in options, it topped out at $60,675 including a $1,950 shipping fee.

That may sound like a lot, but compared to similarly equipped European sports coupes, it is very competitive and I think the ATS is the best looking.

After years in the doldrums, Cadillac is very much on the charge with the popular

CTS, the new CT6 premium luxury sedan and upcoming XT5 premium crossover.

The brand is now solidly focused on elevating its place as a world-class luxury manufacturer and the 2016 ATS Coupe is taking Cadillac well on the road to that destination.

SPECS AT A GLANCE BODY STYLE: Compact entry-level luxury coupe DRIVE METHOD: All-wheel-drive; eightspeed automatic transmission ENGINE: 2.0-litre direct injection turbo inline four-cylinder (272 hp, 295 lb/ft) FUEL ECONOMY: (Premium) 2.0-litre, 10.8/7.8/9.4L/100 km city/highway/combined CARGO: 294 litres

LEFT: LED lights on the ATS Coupe are in the signature Cadillac perpendicular style. CENTRE: Like the CTS Coupe, the dramatic styling language of Cadillac accentuates the lines of the ATS Coupe, especially at the rear. RIGHT: The back seat is for two only.

It’s adequate but it’s tight.

PRICE: $51,135; as tested, $60,675 including $1,950 shipping charge WEBSITE: www.cadillac.ca
