When you do not know what car to buy time? Cadillac look at it!
November 18, CT5 Cadillac Cadillac officially listed in the center of Beijing, the price range of 27.97-33.97 ten thousand yuan . Mere mention CT5, maybe you only think CT6, and perhaps this new car market is a younger brother of CT6? We have this idea. Although you would expect, but in fact it is another delisting model ATS-L replacement ……
As mentioned in the ATS-L, I believe we basically have more or less of CT5 car concept. As ATS-L replacement, CT6 brother, CT5 will and BMW 3 Series, the Audi A4L, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class launched the most direct competition. Of course, other second-tier luxury brand B-Class product is also CT5 opponents, such as the Volvo S60 just listed a long time or have been fighting alongside the Lexus ES and so on.
In order to give you a better understanding of Cadillac CT5, I prepared a reference CT5 for everyone, the BMW 3 Series. This article, the price will be bright, Aberdeen, vehicle design, functional configuration, power, and many other parameters, multi-angle analysis of what, competitive strengths and weaknesses of Cadillac CT5.
First, the price is really sweet, how much can go? Three years later, the price can be so rigid?
a lot about the auto market friends, I believe that more or less understood the Cadillac ATS-L five country version of the model has been a significant price reduction in inventory clearance stage, the official guide price of 270,000 cars sold terminal prices even lower to one hundred eighty-nine thousand nine hundred (brain make themselves read out), which is the old owners definitely be regarded as a “cut to the heart type of injury”, and by a round of price cuts, wounds again to the old owners and again sprinkle salt and alcohol.
Since the Cadillac CT5 market, so its price is bound to go through the test. This is not a test of one month, three months, six months, but for two years, three years, five years. If it’s not pricing strategyMaintain, or changes in policy, continue to cut prices, then for consumers, would not be too appealing, at least not special enough confidence.
In fact, today is not to write this draft ATS-L before Tucao, but help CT5 serious if the platform. Why do you say that?
before
this time to go to Cadillac 4S shop, I carefully compared the prices CT5 Cadillac and BMW 3 Series. I found a small problem, CT5 caught in the 325Li in terms of dynamic data, between 330Li, but the price is below the 325Li, 330Li.
as a competitor, CT5 is inherently cheaper than the 3 Series 2-3 million (ratio 325Li), and I’m stronger than you dynamic data. We judge by reason, BMW 325Li, really worth that much money? Or, CT5 price advantage, really spike BMW 3 Series it? The question, after reading the contents of the back, we can explore again. Between the
Second, the appearance of the interior design domineering tight grip, size and 3 Series Li par
In terms of design, and now the second-tier luxury brand can be said to be fully in line to the BMW. You get an M sport package, then I will double before the face! Up to now this decade more pursuit of personality, appearance maverick particularly important. Look beyond the surface. Now buy the B-Class luxury consumers are gradually ages younger age, which is bright Aberdeen comprehensive analysis of the major platform of articles, academic papers, the Automobile Association and other platforms, and sorted out, not casually talk about.
have professional term called consumer upgrades. There factors involved too much, do not give you one by one go into detail. But one thing we can now confirm that the young are getting rich, more and know how to enjoy material life, or more like to spend money.
So what kind of car the young men like? BBA three products Needless to say, in particular 3 Series, it is needless to say. There was such a lot of friends who evaluate B-level luxury car market: “No brain buy 3 Series.” Visible, we highly for acceptance 3 Series.However, some brands more or less reason, not force 3 product line has been strong to the point where casual occupy the market.
say back Cadillac CT5. The car is designed and its predecessor ATS-L has been completely different, and his brother also have many differences. In addition, the more important point is that, after the appearance on the market, there are two CT5 design, fashion and Sport version, that is, before the double face. This time I photographed models is a leading sports version, unfortunately, is the fashion version of the model I have not seen.
movement’s appearance in my opinion, at least 3 Series and comparable, is different. However, M Sport Package 3 Series, especially the “M” logo, even more noble, and Cadillac’s standard, it becomes less imposing and features, lacking brand awareness.
In addition, the overall effect CT5 Sport appearance, I feel better than the M sports package. And, CT5 front lip, side skirts, rear wing and under the shield, were carried out special treatment, the visual effect is absolutely not inferior to the 3 Series M package, but also for our retrofit space of late, advance to play the anchor.
Although we had already seen the Cadillac Sport models, but it CT5 mix, is the most among each other that complement each other for the child. In the B-car field, for different reasons and positioning of body size, shape is more movement is necessary. Noted earlier, the only way to attract many potential customers.
whether it is diamond cut headlights, taillights or clamp lights, or any one also reflects CT5 is full of a sense of power, fierce range of children’s details, in my eyes have become BMW 3 Series and clamor, provocative capital.
That being so, the appearance of some barely even play for a draw, the car’s design in the end is higher or lower, or styles, or still regardless of heights? That we find out!
to create the overall style, I still believe in a luxury German carsMore mature sense of certainty, but also more suitable for us Chinese people. Chinese people deeply Confucian cultural influence on cognitive many things are quite biased “vertical-horizontal”, or may be entirely different. German also has a rigorous, traditional, old-fashioned style of this, it is clear that with the subjective, that is ideology. And this ideology will certainly affect the design of the car.
Therefore, the German man out of the car, often straight lines, rigid thinking, never too deviant design does not appear. To put it nicely called the tradition, that ugly point is called the beaten path.
when I entered the CT5, I always thought that Cadillac is the kind of car design inside and out. Front grille is a shield-shaped, the center console is also designed to shield, to reflect integration. However, this CT5 gave me a lot of new experience. While still using the model from the encircling design, very symmetrical left and right sides, both sides in the middle of the control panel also each have a contraction curve obvious, but we have basically had no feeling American cars prefer to use the curve article, but more sharp straight line segments or off to meet the design trend nowadays.
Some small details to create or let me feel the changes Cadillac interior design. Large very thick steering wheel, grip particularly hard, people feels there is a driving desire. Large floating in the control panel on the arrangements finally, UI design and just resolution of the internal high point of the longer, the better. Unfortunately, it did not ……
console in the control area is very large, and very clean. Dangba, in the control knob control, volume control knob, storage space is arranged so plainly, at the same time do not feel chaos, which is called space enough. It is worth mentioning that the front central armrest of CT5, open only toward one side. This design is certainly a driver can easily find things, how can the co-pilot to do?
seat style luxury brand must pursue the same place. CT5 seat compact and flexible, a supporting force, design style is also quite particular. In short, the kind of hair so that you could not pickSeat disease.
on the
body size, CT5 length and breadth of 4924/1883 / 1453mm, wheelbase 2947mm. Compared to rival BMW 3 Series in terms of the size of CT5 is also a little argument. Compared to standard 3-axis system is concerned, it a little longer; 3 lines compared to the major axis, it it a little short. Do not understand, then see below.
aspects than down, I found CT5 has its own characteristics, the 3 Series is more fresh compared. But if the discussion from the overall sense of texture or smooth, I still think the 3 Series will be even better. Although CT5 performance enough fresh, luxurious enough, but a little something heavy feeling, need to down a little bit.
Third, the high cost Needless to say, Why the hell with me than the 3 Series?
Finally, we will talk about the most essential places most of the price! Money, traveling thousands of miles to eat meat, no money, traveling thousands of miles to eat the soil …… ……
price, I do not have too much description, CT5 have a greater advantage. As we all know, BBA high prices, while second-tier luxury brand because of brand power, in order to obtain the favor of consumers, in addition to continuously enhance the brand power, but also to enhance their competitiveness in terms of price and configuration, etc., in order to attract consumers. In my opinion, CT pricing is one of the representatives.
compared to the BMW 325Li and 330Li, Cadillac CT5 are priced lower than them, but also not 1-2 million. In addition, BMW 3 also has a plurality of option packages, such as gesture control, wireless charging function, and other functions required to remote boot attachments. As a result, the price gap is not clear surface. Also, taking into account the CT5 future price cuts, this is a BMW 3 Series and the price point gap opened.
on the
configuration, although not equipped CT5 10.25 inches in full control of the liquid crystal panel not equipped with the instrument, but the rest of the configuration, such as remote start, active noise reduction, BOSE sound system, etc. had been equipped.
In any case, Cadillac CT5 with relatively low prices, with the BMW 3 Series and almost the same configuration, this is a veryBig competitive advantage. After a period of time and whether both will be different levels of price discount, single on stage CT5 already have a big price advantage.
Finally, I fear, and we want to re-emphasize the power of Cadillac CT5. It is equipped with a maximum power of 241 horsepower 2.0T engine, the maximum torque of 350 Nm middot; m, BMW 325Li maximum power of 184 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm middot; m, 330Li maximum power of 258 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm middot; m. From the data, Cadillac CT5 cleverly living in the middle of the two, but both have a relatively low ratio of the two prices.
said so much, in fact, my view is simple. In addition to the Cadillac brand and CT5 both hedge ratio, absolute and elsewhere BMW 3 Series a fight, hard steel front completely counseling. Of course, all this is built on the premise of not opened CT5, if ever test drive, and then compare the driving experience, maybe I will have a different understanding.
