Aimed at similarly stretched variants of the BMW 3-Series, the Audi A4 and the Volvo S60, the rumored ATS-L will be nearly four inches longer than its regular-wheelbase counterpart. The extra space will be allocated to the rear passengers and the interior will undoubtedly be marginally more upscale than the one found in the regular ATS.
Long-wheelbase buyers will reportedly be able to choose from a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 200 horsepower, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-banger that makes 270 ponies and a 3.6-liter V6 that generates 320 horsepower. All engines will transfer power to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.
Unlike the regular-wheelbase ATS, the ATS-L will be built in China by a joint-venture called Shanghai General Motors so it will be exempt from the stiff tariffs that Beijing slaps on all imported cars. Pricing will start at roughly 275,000 yuans, a sum that converts to approximately $45,500.
The long-wheelbase ATS could make its debut next April at the Beijing Motor Show and go on sale across China shortly after. At the time of writing, Cadillac is not planning on selling the stretched sedan outside of China.
