Should be considered prior to the model year of a 3 liter V6 engine with a power of 270 horsepower . However, 2- liter four-cylinder engine, the torque has a better performance . This engine is also used in the ATS small sedan at around 1700 rpm , 400 Nm of torque can cause. Of this, 100 more than the previous model with a V6 and an exhaust Nm and 27 Nm more than the new CTS engine with 3/6 liter non- turbo with 321 hp power .
