Here's What a Base Cadillac ATS Looks Like

The base models, the 2.5-liter Standard and the 2.0-liter Turbo Standard, are the only ones equipped with a non-touch-screen system. Instead, it comes with a somewhat straightforward radio unit along with a 4.2-inch display, dual USB inputs, an SD card slot, auxiliary audio jack and a seven-speaker Bose audio system.

The rest of the center console is the same as what’s available with the CUE multimedia system, except the base model has a top row of climate controls, including fan controls and an off switch for the climate system that are controlled through the touch-screen on models equipped with CUE. Like other models with CUE, the base ATS comes with a 5.7-inch display in the center console. The 2.5-liter Standard model can be equipped with CUE and a surround-sound system for an additional $1,350.

What do you think? Would you rather have these tactile controls or is the touch-centric route the better option?
