In the face of “two big difficulties”, what Cadillac CT5 becomes a family best-selling car?

As the successive model after ATS-L suspension, Cadillac CT5 car was launched by many consumers. Some people are addicted to the stylistic design, and some people are addicted to the strong performance of 2.0T + 10AT + rear drive.

The heat is indeed quite, but for its sales, everyone is not optimistic, and the reason is mainly two. On the one hand, it is because of its positioning. It is a sports luxury medium-sized car market that is hosted by the BMW 3. At this time, the 3-family head of the BMW is existing, the Infiniti Q50L, Jaguar Xel These old will only have a thousand months before it. . The nameless CT5 wants to make good results, it is difficult.

On the other hand, it is because Cadillac CT5 priced 27.97-34.17 million, and the price after the big brother CT6 discount (approximately 29.47-40.47 million after market discount) is extremely similar . The similar price, one side is “big” car, one side is “small” car, both of which are compared, the new Cadillac CT5 is not much advantage.

The dispute is indeed, but the Cadillac CT5 has played a lot of people in sales in sales, it is over 6,481 in December, not only far one The same-class opponents have also become the most popular models in the Cadillan sedan family. There is a strong enemy, there is a concern, Cadillac CT5 still succeeds breakthrough, what is hard and power? To this end, Terranant recently tried to test the Cadillac CT5, the test drive model was 2020 platinum motion. Today, the guys talk to everyone about this car.

Appearance: the styling of the atmosphere, the temperament of the movement

As the model of Cadillac, the CT5 family taste is still quite rich The horizontal-arranged headlights use all LED light sources, and the longitudinal direction runs through the daytime driving light on both sides. Then match the large-sized mesh shield intake grill and look very atmosphere.

Of course, light against the atmosphere is far from being able to meet the needs of young consumers, after all, there are still a lot of atmosphere. Therefore, Cadillac also added a large number of slightly elements to CT5 to enhance its sports style: such as the rare sneak body, slightly lifting the ducklings, and the size of the double-exiled square exhaust, etc. Wait.

Interior: simple and simple, detail has a texture

In terms of interior, new cars are biased to the main driving position Ring design. On the top of the medium, the central gateway, the central channel, and the armrest box, etc., the 10-inch central control is fully standard, matches Cadillac’s main CUE interconnection system.

At first glance, this interior seems to be quite simple, but when you look carefully, it will find that it also contains a lot of details. On the meter, a large number of leather wraps with stitching, carbon fiber style, and matte grinding material buttons, highlighting the luxurious feelings, making you have stronger driving desires, and also enhanced this car. Value sense.

It is worth mentioning that the popular full liquid crystal meter is not appeared on the top-parallel model, but is mechanical. The design of the instrument + LCD screen lacks some scientific skills, but this is improved on the 2021 model.

In addition, the automatic double area of ​​the new car is also rare to retain the entity button. CT5 is designed in traditional and deluxe boundaries, in the field of luxury brands, should be considered a clear flow.

Rear Space: The longitudinal is spacious, the head is slightly overdrawn

Dimensional sizes, Cadillac CT5 aspectThe height is 4924/1883 / 1453mm, and the wheelbase is 2947mm. Compared to the Same-level BBA, it still has a more obvious advantage over the length and width. As for the wheelbase, it is second only to the long-axis of BMW 3 Series.

Thanks to the cross-stage body three, the Cadillac CT5’s ride performance is still good. Especially in the longitudinal dimensions, the passengers in one meter are sitting in the back row, and there is still a three-box leg space.

But limited to slip-back styling, the head space of Cadillac CT5 (one meter passengers) only finger. However, for the passengers of one meter, the head space will be relatively rich, there is a punch.

Test drive: Synty is the main melody, the movement is a flavor

Dynamics, Cadillac CT5 is equipped with 2.0T turbine Pressure engine, its maximum horsepower 237, maximum torque 350 cow middot; rice, with variable cylinder technology, daily four-cylinder high performance, four-cylinder economy and two-cylinder super economy several working modes, matching speed The box is a 10AT gearbox.

Although the data looks more “fierce”, in daily driving, CT5 can still be faithful and steady. In the comfort mode, slightly tap the throttle, increase the engine speed to 1500 to turn, the engine will have stable, sufficient power outbreaks, no need for a large throttle, there will be strong power explosive.

And, this 10AT transmission is quite smart, and in the common speed range of 1500-turn-3000 revolutions, the lifting gear can be actively completed, and the power is connected very smooth. The stable power output, and then cooperate with the quietness of the ANC active noise reduction function.

However, after switching to the motion mode, the CT5 finally exposed the true face of “lateralization”.The driving performance will be significantly enhanced. The reaction of the throttle will become more sensitive, and the gearbox will also remain in the low-end position, and the response is significantly accelerated, and the power outbreak has been more strong!

At this time, when you use the steering wheel of the hand, you will feel that everything becomes coordinated when you have a brake pedal. Then listen to the simulated sound, and the strong driving feels prompts you to “fight”.

With the comfort of the power, like the exercise of the Cadillac CT5, the chassis of the Cadillac CT5 also manifests the fairness “balance”. The initial paragraph of the suspension can provide obvious softness, so that the car can completely filter out fine road vibration. The mid-to-late segment is a plenty of support, so that the driver can be more confident. It can be said that the chassis of the CT5 truly combines comfort and sports.

It is worth mentioning that the top-mounted CT5 of the Tourism test drive is equipped with MRC electromagnetic induction suspension and LSD rear axle limit slip differential. The former can regulate the damper damper in different modes, which guarantees that comfort is also well suppressed. The latter further reduces the power loss of CT5, and the taxi is more likely to be controlled, and it is a tool for drift or running mountains. In this point of view, the chassis of the CT5 is simply “poisonous”, of course, the premise is that you have to buy a top.

Said the performance of the control, and the fuel consumption of many netizens paying attention to the fuel consumption of many netizens. During the test drive of Touro, I was 368 kilometers a week, the CT5 has a fuel consumption of 9.9L / 100km, which is close to 10L. For this fuel consumption, everyone may feel less beautiful, but compare the same level of BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4L, etc., you can find that Cadillac’s fuel consumption is not normal.

Moreover, the whole process of Tourism this test drive, mostly in the middle and low-speed road sections, fierce test drive tests, high-speed + Congestion urban area, only one quarter of the whole process. So if it is a daily commuterThe fuel consumption of Cadillac CT5 should be around 8-9L / 100 kilometers, or more good.

Write in the last

Cadillac CT5 can succeed, undeniable market discounts to be attributed to their “to force”. At the same time, it also takes quite in place on the product force, in sports (powerful), practicality (chassis comfortable), household properties (not high) can meet the needs of domestic consumers. Moreover, according to the goddess, many consumers who start CT5 are also valued, and the modification of the trend is not small. If it is you, will Cadillac CT5?
