Cadillac ATS-V data analysis
How to read this Cadillac ATS-V data
This page lists every 2018 Cadillac ATS-V record we hold for this measurement — 1 row in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Where these Cadillac ATS-V figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Cadillac ATS-V record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
How the 2018 Cadillac ATS-V scored
NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program rates the 2018 Cadillac ATS-V at 4 stars overall, 4 stars in the frontal barrier test, 5 stars for side impact, 5 stars for rollover resistance. Its calculated rollover risk is 0.1% — the probability the agency's model assigns to a rollover in a single-vehicle crash. Stars are awarded against the test protocol in force for that model year and are not comparable across a protocol change, so read a year's rating against other vehicles of the same year rather than against an older or newer version of the same car.
Driver-assistance equipment and how to read this record
NHTSA records the 2018 Cadillac ATS-V as offering electronic stability control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning. Availability means the system was fitted or offered on the model year, not that every individual car has it — options and trim levels vary. This page covers 1 tested configuration across 2018, one row per body style and model year the agency has published. Where a field is blank the vehicle was not tested for that measure rather than scoring zero, and configurations are never merged, because a front-wheel-drive and an all-wheel-drive version of the same nameplate are separate tests.
