Recently, Cadillac officially announced that the new Cadillac XT4 will be listed on December 18th, that is, tomorrow. The new car will be equipped with an engine different from the old model, and in order to comply with stringent emission regulations, it will also be equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system to further improve the fuel consumption performance and starting and low-speed performance of the new Cadillac XT4.
Since it is a mid-year remodeled model, the change in appearance is not obvious, and the styling design of the current model on sale is basically continued. The front face is still a shield-shaped grille, the middle is dotted with many rectangular squares, and the lower surround at the bottom is still an inverted trapezoidal design, with the official name "Star Waterfall Type" in-line headlights, although highly recognizable, but not much different from the old model.
Including the line contour, waistline design, taillights and exhaust design of the whole vehicle, it is very similar to the old model, making it difficult to distinguish between the new model and the old model.
In terms of body size, according to the officially released parameter data, it is no different from the old model, and it is also proved that the new Cadillac XT4 is not much different from the old model in terms of space. Although the configuration and interior have not announced much official news, it is expected that the overall model will be consistent with the old model.
Compared to the external, the new Cadillac XT4 has the biggest change in the powertrain. Engine from the LSY of the older model
Replaced with a 2.0T engine model LXH and a 48V mild power hybrid system will be added, the drivetrain is expected to be unchanged, or it will be equipped with a 9-speed manual AT transmission.
The LXH engine and LSY engine can be said to be an upgraded version of LSY, and it is an engine version that supports hybrid systems. An additional particle trap is added to the exhaust, which also reduces the pressure when the cylinder is working, so as to prevent the side effects of increasing the particle trap and the high exhaust temperature, and the power is also reduced to 169 kilowatts.
Although the power has decreased, the addition of the hybrid system will not reduce the power of the new Cadillac XT4, and will even improve at low speed conditions and starting conditions, and the fuel consumption performance and environmental performance will also be improved.
The new Cadillac XT4 is expected to sell at around 10,000 to 20,000 more than the current model on sale. It is the norm for the hybrid system version to be slightly more expensive than the pure fuel version, and the additional cost is still borne by the consumer. The price of Cadillac, which originally belongs to the second-tier luxury brand, is not low, and there are not many consumers who just need hybrid models, which will make people turn their heads and choose old models, and the price concession is still large. Would you still buy such a compact SUV?
