Uncle Che summed up
In general, the biggest features of the new Cadillac XT4 are two, the first is to match the new 2.0T+48V light mix system, the application of this powertrain makes the sudden jitter of the car's start-stop system work completely dissolved, and also contributes to energy saving and emission reduction. In addition to the power system, another big change in the new car is the new CUE car connection system, and the smarter Baidu voice assistant and Baidu ecosystem application can meet the more diversified needs of users when traveling.
Among the 4 configurations launched by the new car, the 2022 28T two-wheel drive luxury model, which belongs to the second lowest configuration, has a sufficiently comprehensive functional configuration in the case of a moderate price level, which can better meet the needs of daily cars, and the overall cost performance is relatively high. From the specific price of the new car, the price of the 2022 model has increased by 0.2 million yuan compared with the old model as a whole, and in the case of considerable improvement, this price increase is also acceptable.
From the perspective of sales data, the cumulative sales data of the model in January to November 2021 is 33,136 units, compared with the data in 2020, it seems that the rise of second-tier luxury brands such as Lincoln and domestic car companies has brought a lot of impact to Cadillac, in addition, the epidemic for more than two consecutive years has also made many families that are not very rich worse, so when choosing this model, we still have to do more comparison.
