as a second-tier luxury brand, Cadillac in the country has been tepid existence, not to say that Cadillac is not good, but their brand strength is not enough to impress people. With more emphasis on mainstream BBA different luxury and technology, Cadillac pay more attention to promote their own car performance, while ignoring the more people pay attention to several other aspects. In contrast, in the marketing and packaging, the Germans do more in place, they also know how to impress them even more potential customers.
However, Cadillac’s models BBA is not lost, whether it is cost-effective or power, Cadillac BBA can throw off a few blocks. In the field of entry-level luxury car, the Cadillac is also to attack the front-line luxury brands. In the upcoming quarter of Cadillac CT4 is such a player. And a hard-core car came to it, 2.0T + 10AT, bought what BBA?
As ATS-L successor, CT4 continuation of the previous ATS L-position, i.e. on the standard Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, C-Class, Volvo S60, etc. models, but according to set the tone since Cadillac has always been run, the price advantage CT4 might even have the opportunity to divide the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series, Mercedes-Benz a-class market, this dimension reduction [against] the practice, is also the second-tier luxury brand has always been routine.
appearance, the domestic version of the CT4 consistent with the overseas edition, respectively Sport Deluxe Edition provides two different design styles to choose from. The two versions differ in the trim around the body, multi-sport version with black decoration, while the deluxe edition is chrome-plated trim. But on the whole the appearance of difference between the two is not great, basically CT6 smaller size, CT4 face before using its latest family design, daytime running lights extend from both sides of the headlight to bumper, dot-matrix grille surround with a sharp front, looks very stylish. Vertically aligned rear taillight highly recognizable.
dimensions, positioning the compact class sedan car, length and breadth were 4760/1815 / 1421mm is little distinction L ATS-with, but because there is no longer CT4, its wheelbase 2775mm compared to the ATS-L2860mm compared to a bit crass, but the size of the CT4 compared with other competing products are still not strive.
The interior, although the new car the declaration did not disclose the specific picture, but according to the overseas edition model point of view, CT4 uses the popular hit color design, at the door handle, shift knob and air conditioning vent on adding chrome trim, the control is equipped with a screen eight inches, this slightly old interior design and stylish appearance compared to some dissonant up. But I have to say, compared to the current market a lot of control mounted directly in a domestic flat-panel models who, CT4 interior is clearly more easy to use, after all, open the menu you want to find a level of function, how entities button more direct it?
on the power, will be equipped with a turbocharged engine 2.0T, matching or GM’s 10AT 8AT gearbox, the maximum power of 230 horsepower, speed can reach 220km / h; in addition, the US version of the four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive version of the model may also introduce domestic.
CT4 Can burst of red in the domestic market is still uncertain, but efforts to clear inventory, to make the new car sales space of ATS-L has been sold “Civic price”, the highest discount rate already exceeded one hundred thousand yuan , ultra-high preferential exchange is naturally good sales, but it also brings less good impact on the brand image.
However, the current Cadillac product line, can be considered rich enough on, after nearly a decade of development, its product line has grown from the original XTS and ATS-L extended to today’s CT6, XT5 and the upcoming CT4, CT5, XT6 and other models, have even set foot in the new energy sector. While continuously expanding its product line, Cadillac’s market share also increased, as early as the end of 2018, Cadillac sales in China had already exceeded 200,000, which with its’ price for the city “has a great sales strategy Relationship. For after car brands, only enough sales to support brand live, complete “inventory clearance” mission in Cadillac, its models have basically completed the task of the transition to the six countries, wings gradually plump in Cadillac future ability to pick up again, to make us angry and braveBe it.
