Less than three years since Cadillac launched the new ATS on the (U.S.) market in the summer of 2012 as a 2013MY , and GM is getting ready to release a mildly tweaked version labeled as a 2015 model, which our scoop photographers caught on the road without any camouflage whatsoever.

The only notable difference on the outside of this 2.5-liter base model (the only version with a single tailpipe) is the adoption of the newer ATS Coupe’s front grille , complete with Cadillac’s new wreath-less logo , and bumper design with a continuous single air dam featuring a chrome trim strip

With the exception of the new Cadillac badges on the boot and the wheels, the rest of the body seems unchanged for the 2015MY.

At this point, we don’t know if Cadillac has made any updates to the interior and the ATS’ hardware, but it shouldn’t be long before we find out.
