each boy will have a luxury car dream, hope to have a fun break with his own car track, cruising. And from this dream recently is a brand of luxury rear-wheel drive mid-size sedan, the two main characters such as today’s BMW 325Li M sports Yao Night version (guide price: 363 900) and Cadillac CT5 28T Platinum Sport (guide price: 33.97 million). These two car market is currently the face of popular models, today we will start from a rational point of view, these two cars performance test to see who is this level of performance benchmark.
The first test hundred mph is, in fact, the power gap between the two cars is not small. CT5 equipped with 2.0T engine, maximum horsepower 241, the official hundred mph 7.3 seconds. BMW 325Li is also equipped with 2.0T engine, but the horsepower is limited to 184, the official hundred mph 8.1 seconds. But BMW knows that opened, official data BMW has always been a conservative given that the BMW 3 Series can “headwinds comeback,” we look together.
For a more extreme test scores, for both the first warm-cars, while adjusting to the motion mode. Since no CT5 S block, so we will set CT5 to manual gear mode, to drive a shift paddles.
final at the same temperature state and venues, the BMW 325Li M sports Yao night ran 7.98 seconds to score, but Cadillac CT5 28T Platinum Sport ran 7.80 s results, performance slightly the upper hand.
BMW 325Li measured 100 kilometers acceleration performance than the official data releasedFaster, but slower, and CT5 compared with that in a little bit. In fact, in addition to more horsepower, CT5 body posture is also better than the 3-Series control.
The other two cars are in third gear “Pobai”, but Cadillac upshift action faster, we can see this in the daily 10 Gearbox although they would improve fuel economy, but instead a little drag in the hundred mph test. Of course, the actual experience, Cadillac CT5 sense of pushing back more than a BMW 325Li.
power is important, but at the track, the powerful brake into the corners to allow us to delay the braking point, to keep longer-speed range. And braking performance in everyday driving, our traffic safety also play a crucial role.
through the field, the motion BMW 325Li M Yao night had measured 38.9 meters per hundred kilometers braking performance. Cadillac CT5 28T Platinum Sport is the measure had 37.03 meters per hundred kilometers braking performance.
In addition to the braking distance, Cadillac braking response sensitivity also significantly better, which also benefits from E-boost over traditional electronic power brake booster vacuum brake system.
and we may feel that Cadillac is more good results thanks brembo calipers and high performance brake pads carbonitriding, but in fact, for this single brake test, because the two cars can trigger the ABS, the braking force is greater than explain tires and ground friction, so the greatest impact or CT5 equipped with Michelin tires and PS4S MRC electromagnetic suspension. As for the benefits of high performance brakes and caliper, it is reflected in the more comfortable foot feeling, and when the continuous braking stability.
Next is the moose test, in this project can feel the difference in handling two cars, of course, but also show two vehicles in daily life becomes an emergency limit performance channel. For example, we suddenly during drivingThen jump out of an electric vehicle or pedestrian, powerful control is not only to protect their own safety, but also to protect the safety of others.
First Cadillac CT5, we were in 60km / h, 70km / h, 80km / h at the test speed for elk. Wherein at 60km / h, 70km h speed /, CT5 through moose test very well. By the next 80km / h speed, CT5 is encountered a bucket pile. When
look at the BMW 325Li test scores, it successfully passed the 70km / h of elk test, moose test carried out but at 78km / h when the BMW 325Li has been swept into piles barrel, and body posture nor CT5 less stable.
so the final measured results, the speed limit CT5 is 80km / h, while the speed limit of the BMW 325Li at 78km / h.
from the somatosensory, this generation of the BMW 3 Series is really the suspension softer, driving experience and more gentle, even if transferred sport mode, the steering wheel also its weak wrist and girlfriend of the same; however, the overall performance is still very BMW chassis. Since moose test is coasting through, so this car will be a little bit Tuitou, but can clearly feel, just to give a little oil, you can easily slide up the rear.
In general, this generation of BMW 3 Series chassis and body rigid quality is better than the previous generation, but too comfortable suspension and steering calibration to cover its internal strength. In fact, for fans in terms of performance, really painful, knowing that it is “Dwayne Johnson”, but dress became “King Kong Barbie.”
In earlier tests, we can clearly feel the Cadillac CT5 roll smaller, stronger grip. In addition to the previously mentioned exclusive custom Michelin tires and PS4S MRC electromagnetic suspension, mLSD mechanical limited-slip differential also played a very big role.
mLSD mechanical type limited slip differential is simply starts when the side wheels when slippage due to insufficient adhesion, which limits both sides of the drive wheel rotation speed difference, thereby preventing excessive power in this manner the loss of wheel spin, thereby enhancing the effective traction.
While our topic today is the performance, but I believe these two car consumers It can not be a hundred percent performance directed to go, so we have these two cars noise canceling performance testing.
First Cadillac CT5, in idle mode, the car noise control about 42-43dB; when the vehicle speed is 40km / h, when the noise in the car 52 about -53dB; when 80km / h, the car noise is about 60-61dB.
When noise idling BMW 325Li is probably about 43-44dB, 40km / h, when reached about 54dB, when the vehicle speed reaches 80km / h, when the noise reaches about 62dB. And compared to the previous model, the BMW 3 Series really quiet a lot, especially the engine and exhaust sound, was significantly restrained, noise reduction capabilities, and the sound texture reached nearly 5 Series level.
From the point of view the actual value, Cadillac CT5 be quieter passenger compartment, when the noise do everything possible materials, CT5 extra functioning ANC active noise reduction a role. Interestingly, at the time of the cruise, ANC help you offset the noise; but violence driving, you sound began to simulate noise, comparable to that feeling of large displacement V8 engine four-cylinder turbo function is not implemented.
we can just find the performance test, the suspension of the Cadillac CT5 is significantly better than the BMW 3 Series. Then, according to common sense, accordingly, its comfort will be worse than the BMW 3 Series, but it really is true? With my hand this cup be 82 yearsMusic to try.
We are all filled with two cups of Coke in the same car, look at the time by the deceleration zone, which trolley cup where Coke spilled more.
Finally Found to 50km h speed / through the deceleration zone, Cadillac CT5 vehicle glass remaining amount of coke is greater than BMW 325Li. In fact, in normal driving, we will feel slightly harder suspension of some CT5, but why it bumps test scores better? I would like to explain to you how active MRC electromagnetic suspension system works.
For example, in our cornering, the suspension is compressed inside, while the outside wheels are stretched, two front suspensions acceleration stretch, back two suspension compression, opposite to the deceleration. While over the bumps completely different, some compressed or stretched in the suspension, there is hardly affected part, the MRC may be determined what your vehicle traveling state or traveling through such kind of feedback road conditions, and accordingly make adjustments to damping; it can also improve handling at the same time enhance comfort. Therefore, in this test, CT5 performance will be better.
In fact, much like BMW and Porsche, after each generation model launches will be someone to take it and its predecessor do comparison, then a Tucao Fan. This generation BMW 3 Series sensorimotor although not as good as the previous generation of strong, but we tested before, its chassis limits are far better than the previous model, quite a lot higher, but it is better to open, but also more comfortable , and make more compromises in the market.
Cadillac CT5 in this “compromise” the market do our best to stick to their understanding of the sports luxury, even regardless of the cost of using MRC electromagnetic active suspension, PS4S tire , brembo calipers and mLSD mechanical limited-slip differential in this modified car and even the car will be used on equipment become more pure. It is also because these twoSimilar personalities and very different cars, so today I am no longer whereabouts you recommend a table in which, I believe, Which is more suitable for them, already have the answer in your heart.
