If you want to buy a luxury car with an affordable price, which brand would you choose? Needless to say, the answer is Cadillac. Cadillac is a luxury brand that attaches great importance to the domestic market. Indeed, its models have achieved good sales in China, with Cadillac's cumulative sales reaching 230,007 units in 2020, setting a new record for its annual sales in China, including a product matrix composed of Cadillac XT4, XT5 and XT6, with sales reaching 146,678 units. So, what are the highlights of the new XT4 listed on December 18 with an official guidance price of 26.17-35.47 million yuan?
New appearance color matching is more stylish
In fact, the main group that chose Cadillac XT4 before was young people and female consumers, and it can be seen that these two groups overlap, and they are very concerned about appearance. Whether it's the exterior or interior design, the Cadillac XT4 highlights the stylish style. The first is the classic diamond-cut design language, which is also the most recognizable point of Cadillac models. In-line daytime running lights and in-line flying wing taillights, the sense of sculpture is very strong, and the return rate is full. In cadillac's official parlance, it pays homage to the classics with a trend.
It is worth mentioning that the body color of the XT4 has previously had four kinds of carmine, blue, diamond white and yao black, and the new model has added silver lime and Moran brown. In terms of interior, the XT4's dashboard design is mainly in a simple style, and the seats are made of exclusive leather three-dimensional cut, with precise stitching, and functions such as heating, ventilation, memory, and massage, full of American luxury.
Power-matched 48V light mix
The most important point of the new XT4 is the upgrade in power. The main power system still adopts the combination of 2.0T+9AT, the maximum power is 174kW, the maximum torque is 350N·m, the engine adopts Tripower variable valve technology, which can achieve "four-cylinder high-performance mode", "four-cylinder economic mode" and "two-cylinder ultra-economic mode" three modes, while ensuring sufficient power to reduce fuel consumption, killing two birds with one stone.
Although this power performance is already abundant enough, it needs to be upgraded to have a more perfect driving experience. The new XT4 adds a 48V mixing system on this basis, which can make up for the lack of torque at low engine speeds to achieve a smoother driving experience and fuel economy. I have to say that the power upgrade of the XT4 is very wise.
Intelligence goes a step further
Since we must pay attention to young consumer groups, upgrading in intelligence is indispensable. The Cadillac XT4 is backed by SAIC-GM's "second engine" vehicle networking strategy, equipped with a new generation of Cadillac mobile Internet experience CUE that can realize the OTA intelligent cloud update, and has made necessary upgrades in voice interaction, car-machine interactive interface, vehicle intelligent navigation, smart home scene mode, etc., and is equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife mobile phone mapping and other applications. In terms of intelligent security, XT4 adopts ESS intelligent guardian security system and BFI integrated high-strength body structure, from the software and hardware aspects to improve the passive safety of the entire owner.
summary
The most amazing upgrade of the new Cadillac XT4 is the improvement of the powertrain, which not only maintains the abundant power performance of the vehicle, but also has better smoothness and lower fuel consumption. In terms of appearance, two new colors of silver lime and Moran brown have been added, with a stylish diamond-cut design, which is more in line with the aesthetics of consumers who pursue fashion. It is believed that the new car can help the Cadillac brand to achieve better sales performance in the domestic market.
