➤ B-class car in the luxury brand, Cadillac models coming CT5 has a high degree of concern. This is why we want to compare the test of a model. Just years ago, Cadillac gave the monarch a red rut CT5 test drive, after some depth test drive, we now come down to the car in the end is hard core, or any punches.
red, red, red is the network
In CT5 just saw this car test drive car, full of ruts Jun surprise, because this is not how a prior version appeared .
First, the red body color for CT5 is not advertising is not the main color. Second, the test drive this car belongs to level the top with the mechanical arrangement, which is equipped with 19-inch wheels, MRC electromagnetic suspension and other top with exclusive configuration, but not platinum Sport real look we had photographed style (real shot article portal: “Why Cadillac CT5 car is a great idea?”).
we can test drive the car kit seen as a fashion version of the configuration of the platinum level, the biggest feature is that this secret spoke 19-inch wheels, with red binding body, then the additional points extent pleasing fill out on the basis of.
ah, really handsome to burst table.
Although we have had to push two articles to resolve CT5 as the specific positioning of the new model, but we still simply mention a mention.
As you know, CT5 is substituted ATS-L position in the market, but in fact successor models CT5 is CTS, CTS is the subject of this level BMW 5 Series models.
on the size, CT5 car length reaches 4924mm, with a wheelbase of 2947mm, it is indeed the standard 5-axis system, the S-axis E-class at the same level, but the BMW 5 Series and came to the same level models Chinese market have been lengthened.
Cadillac has previously announced that no longer play with the flow, so CT5 that way, you can see it as a standard 5-axis system withLevel model, but the price dimension point of view, 279 700 – 339 700 CT5 even cheaper than the 3 Series.
But there is also a CT5 do not know is good or bad the problem is that it does not show great looking, although with more than four meters long 9 car, but it looks which is about 4 meters 8 visual perception, more compact way, on the standard 3 Series seems to have become a good match. Attitude
However CT5 this handsome ruffian ruffian handsome style, but added German rivals are unlikely to occur, CT5 color value is also a big selling point. I can responsibly say, CT5 is a real good-looking car than the picture of the car, and this is a time-tested good-looking a nice withstand scrutiny. CT5
CT5 also has a very high degree of recognition, not only allows passers far to recognize this is a Cadillac, the design details, fastback style there are enough significant differences with the rest of the clan models. Compared to the previous ATS and CTS, sharpness restraint, but has become more refined. At the same price or the same level models, CT5 also remains unique.
as well as the hard core of the unique chassis
with MRC electromagnetic suspension Cadillac will make people really looking forward to, because it’s like an egg, MRC used in the different models, Cadillac they will be prepared for a different style of tune, before the ATS hard hard horse bridge, after CT6 flexible freely. Then the MRC on new CT5 body, but also a taste of what?
In fact, it is still very close to the year tough style of ATS, CT5 with the MRC will not hesitate to pass information to the pavement throughout your body, covers, pavement seams, regardless of the size of the depth, will be presented one by one. By disrepair patch pavement, but there is a sense of sway with the whole body.
In short, it is quite Britain.
MRC strengths but also easy to play in this extreme situation.
Although the very top, but it can also be veryQuickly stabilize the body. Thanks to MRC real-time monitoring road conditions, and up to 1000 times per second to adjust the efficiency of hard and soft suspension, by a big margin in the pavement seams throw jump, we will have steady so you do not consciously laugh .
And this chassis CT5 is really good so you do not consciously laugh, quickly passing the ramp, body posture is still quite calm, give people very strong bend split confidence.
top with 19-inch wheels with 245/40 R19 are the specifications for the Michelin PS4S tires, street tires is the most movement of Michelin, strong grip, CT5 such as hard-core chassis with after this the ultimate tire, cornering limit becomes unfathomable.
Although the MRC can select the “comfort” and “sport” modes, but the difference between the two modes is very small, very hard on the right. Actually driving mode adjustable four option has two modes, but the differences between them are small.
steering feel is also very linear, but the early part of the lack of a sharp, run on the mountain, for CT5 it is a casual thing – a piece of cake . It may be fast, but you do not need to make very oppressive. Although the body is not small, but ran up on the mountain, just CT5 look the same, and did not imagine so big, stupid.
Jun rutting on the same mountain road opened shaft 5 scale system, the major axis is also opened generation system 3, that is the most flexible CT5, but is most stupid smallest among the three vehicle body the long axis of a new generation 3 Series.
CT5 top models equipped with the high-performance brake system consists of Brembo supplies, as well as the front axle and four-piston brake calipers, At first step on the foot feeling you will feel biased hard, but then really open the road, you will find that this is simply a textbook brakes. CT5 braking system not only has plenty of braking power, solid foot feeling also allows the driver to feel more confident.
In fact, the brake foot feeling good not just let the brake force is proportional to the depth of the stampede, but also let the feedback force proportional to the braking force to the brake pedal, this is the so-called linear. HaveSome car brake foot feeling is very light the first half, the second half is heavy braking force is difficult to grasp, how open is not comfortable, and the brake foot feeling CT5 to do a perfect job.
CT5 alone makes you feel a little confused, is the power system.
is not quick enough, in the end who is the pot?
CT5 power system uses a 2.0T LSY 10AT engine with gearbox, with a lot of bright spots on paper, comprising a two-digit number of gears, as well as closing cylinder engine with this function, a system-wide 241 horsepower at the same price models also in position on the power.
However, this power evaluation obtained previously mixed, in fact, more derogatory, in particular less than approximately 40 horsepower which uses the ATS-L engine LTG so many people feel sorry even uncomfortable. This 241 horsepower out of the measured results but with the ability to accelerate the opponent about 190 no real difference, where the problem in the end?
First, the output of the engine is indeed ATS-L can feel than a bit weaker, especially after the remainder of the power, the maximum torque of the engine is less than LSY LTG 50Nm, the key is the maximum torque of the platform can only continue to 4000rpm, and 400Nm of torque LTG platform can go to 4600rpm.
So open CT5, whether it is mountain driving, or the fast-paced everyday road driving, you can feel the kind of power after 5000rpm no further excited state.
makes you feel excited, and that perhaps only after the departure of more than 3000rpm of “lip-synching” system, that is reinforced by speakers in the car engine noise.
However, the interval from 1000rpm to 5000rpm, the torque is very abundance, the output is very linear, is less of violent, which is between the maximum with ATS-L difference. Fuel economy and emissions from the environmental point of view, we can accept this change, after all, this is indeed more than the LTG LSY engine fuel-efficient, and more than seven seconds Pobai results, with the daily will not be too slow, onlyBale is not so fast.
In contrast, 10AT may be more desirable to optimize the transmission. Indeed, the number of gear a lot, first served Jun rut that we are very concerned did not answer the question what is the point, how much time can put up 10 per hour CT5 block? The answer is 82kph, so this 10-block usage or not low.
It is because speed gear 10 can hang up to 82kph, descriptions of each gear of this gear ratio 10AT is very dense. However, to reduce the intensity of work gear switching back and forth at a stop and go traffic congestion, the gear ratio between gears 1 and 2 also touches an obvious gap.
reduce the intensity of transmission, because the ability to work the gearbox is weak, although CT5 this power system to switch between the various gear can do very smooth, no shift shock, but the shift action is relatively slow.
Coupled with this transmission power is not transmitted directly, so the power of convergence between the various gears is relatively weak. It is probably one of the reasons CT5 performance in terms of acceleration limit with 241 horsepower that number is unlikely to match.
Fortunately, transmission shift logic is no problem, that is, it is no problem IQ, IQ is the ability not keep up. So when you need to accelerate to overtake halfway, deep step down, the gearbox is knowing what you want to do, will soon put high-speed play, but after playing high speed, distance transmission downshift is completed, there is a little bit of Time difference.
the mask transmission also a big advantage of CT5 – linear throttle response is extremely delicate. As mentioned earlier, when you want to overtake, deep step down, speed can react quickly, and wait until the completion of the transmission downshift, it gives you the amount of power is what you expected, indicating that the throttle response is CT5 very delicate linear.
in the mountain, delicate throttle response more useful.
The manual transmission mode dial, the mountain only need to use the basic block 2 and block 3, while between these two gears toggle action is not veryFast, tachometer or even signs of a “happy list”, but then you can manually lock the gear, you can feel better CT5 extremely delicate throttle response. Bending with the focus shifted to adjust the accelerator, to be more than 99 percent handy car, with the same linear tough suspension and brakes, CT5 steps on the mountain is smooth and supple.
At this time, if your friends also sat in the car, he would probably be amazed at your driving skills, in fact, CT5 help you busy.
Therefore, although the engine is not hot, the gearbox is not fast enough, but when you find the right CT5 Open after, it would be a cool open than a lot of 3 Series car. Open the right way is this: do not need to open fast pace in the urban areas, preferably in a slow-paced quick opening, so that the gearbox works very comfortable, to the mountain after, and then run the manual mode, to show the true nature of CT5.
calm, cool
In general, CT5 still makes a very hi car.
However, the above comments regarding the terms of the chassis, are based on car equipped with MRC electromagnetic suspension and Brembo brakes test drive the car, it said, can buy only top with Platinum Sport with this the essence of two configurations. In addition to the Platinum Sport of other models, you buy it would be best to try, there is a chance the king would bring rut test drive experience.
hi point finished, the cool down, talk about the other, ah, mainly talk about the shortcomings.
Although CT5 seems to open up and not like a 4.9-meter-long carts, but there is a situation that you face every day, make you feel CT5 is not really small, and that It is the parking. In addition to the larger body makes parking less flexible than, CT5 maximum steering angle of the front wheels seems to have been something constrained, presumably drove home as the posterior longitudinal, should be less, but it is less flexible, sometimes too a multi-down.
as well as the seat and back of the space, using design CT5 fastback rear head space is relatively cramped, rutting Jun 175cm height in the rear head up. Although knee room lacks the problem, But also a little bit short cushion, seat cushion length can be done if the base is flush with the seat cushion enough. Yes, the middle rear position is still no headrest.
in front of the multimedia system CUE useful, air interface, logical, quick reaction, but also a touch sensitive, the use is not in question. Display only entity key advantages of the electronic control region rearward lever superfluous. Bottom of the screen there is a volume knob, where there is one, and the function of each entity are key can be done by touch, touch the system easy to use than physical keys, so it often makes several key entities ignore. Made compartments may be more practical.
There are some problems of cost control, whether the front window is open or closed, the last paragraph it slightly decelerated, but the rear window does not exist, a direct “boom” about the head or raised head down, and about 300,000 luxury car brand B-class does not even support the rear window a key liter window.
In addition, several CT5 car air conditioner outlet are not set up a separate air volume control, can be adjusted by the amount of total air space control center, which is not human of.
Finally is the interior overall use of materials, Cadillac had a name out of the generosity of a variety of exquisite leather-wrapped will be able to place all wrapped, but in CT5 who, although wrapped in a large area of skin, but not as good as before delicate cortex.
But above all, when you think of the price of the car, probably will be relieved.
Platinum Sport top with with MRC, there are Brembo, there mLSD mechanical limited-slip differential, these are all super-class hardware equipment, selling for 339,700 yuan. And before the ATS-L, you have to buy top equipped with MRC, it needs 428,800 yuan.
This price comparison with competing products, but also very competitive, with emphasis, CT5 provide opponents can not provide driving experience, can provide opponents can not provide pleasure.
to do their own good
speaking, from ATS, the ATS-L, to the current CT5, never seems to have been stopped and between 3 Series rivalry, after all, is the year to ATS E46 generation 3 Series as a to develop a worthy adversary.
But now, the Department of the 3 Series become Buddha, CT5 still full of blood. Not so much, CT5 replaced the sport’s dominance of the 3 Series, it would be better to say, CT5 formed its own style, but is unlikely to be replicated in other home style.
It is clear the advantages and disadvantages, but the class is not partial Division of Health do more to get the teacher’s attention? Obviously, CT5 not perfect, but enough lovable.
