With the gradual popularization of electric vehicles, more and more people see the characteristics of trams to save money and cost-effective, so as to abandon fuel vehicles to choose trams to travel, which makes traditional fuel vehicle companies have to start thinking about how to retain the power advantage while also ensuring a certain economy. The arrival of the 48V light mix system seems to solve this problem. The new Cadillac XT4, which was recently launched, also uses the power form of the 2.0T+48V light mix system, which is not only smoother at start-up, but also has better fuel economy, but the price of the whole series has been slightly improved. So is there any change in other aspects of the new Cadillac XT4 compared to the old model in addition to power? Let's take a look at it today.
Or the original mature "tough guy" image
The new Cadillac XT4 has hardly changed in appearance and is still the style we are familiar with. The inverted trapezoidal grille on the front face looks like a shield, the "Y" led headlights on both sides are also very recognizable, and the handling of details is also very distinctive, and the central bulge on the bonnet and the silver chrome trim on the middle net make the front face look aggressive. On the side of the body, the black bottom guard plate below visually enhances the height of the vehicle, which is quite sporty, and it is particularly noteworthy that the Cadillac XT4 is equipped with 20-inch wheels that are very rare in the same class, and the silver wheels echo the windows and door handles, and the overall look is very coordinated and comfortable. The most attractive thing about the rear part of the car is the "L" shaped taillights on both sides, which have a strong sense of presence, and in addition, the "T" on the tail mark of the new XT4 has changed from the original black to blue, highlighting its light mix identity.
The new Cadillac XT4 is also unchanged in the interior, continuing the family design style of the old model. The color inside the car is still dominated by black, but there are also some areas of the three-spoke steering wheel and the center console decorated with silver trims, and the atmosphere of the whole car is very mature and textured, and the wrapping of large areas of leather soft materials on the center console further highlights the luxurious temperament. In addition, the dual pointer dashboard, 8-inch central control screen and rich physical buttons in the car are also convenient for driving. In general, although the new Cadillac XT4 still retains the old design in terms of appearance and interior, its own hard temperament, exquisite interior materials and calm interior style must still be favored by many consumers.
The price increase of the whole series for "smarter" car machines, good value for money?
The new Cadillac XT4 cancels the original secondary top with four-wheel drive leading type, and there are many optimizations in the configuration, the whole series has upgraded the new CUE car connection system, upgraded the Baidu intelligent voice interconnection interaction system, and also optimized the functions such as on-board intelligent navigation, making the human-computer interaction more intelligent. In addition, the entry-level fashion version of the new XT4 is 2,000 yuan more expensive than the original, in addition to the same as the original with tire pressure display, leather steering wheel, leather /fabric mixed seat, parking radar, 8-inch central control screen and other configurations, but also more than 4.2-inch dashboard, but the LED daytime running lights are cancelled.
The new XT4 luxury model is 13,000 yuan more expensive than the old model of the same level, but there are more parallel assists, lane departure warning systems, etc. in the active safety equipment, and more 4.2-inch dashboards, satellite navigation systems, voice-controlled navigation and BOSE audios in the technical configuration.
The secondary top of the new car is equipped with a premium type in the case of 14,000 yuan more expensive than the old leading model, not only the safety configuration has been raised a grade, but also upgraded a lot of configurations mainly in the comfort of the car, not only equipped with leather seats, main and auxiliary seats 4-way waist support, seat ventilation, massage and memory functions, etc., and the exterior mirrors also have more functions such as electric folding, automatic roll-down of reversing and automatic folding of locking cars.
The price of the new XT4's top four-wheel drive platinum type is 2,000 yuan more expensive, but there is basically no difference between the configuration and the old model. It can be seen that although the low-end and top-equipped models of the new Cadillac XT4 have price fluctuations, there is not much change in the configuration, while the luxury and premium cars have been greatly upgraded and optimized in terms of safety, technology and comfort, but the price is correspondingly more than 10,000 yuan.
48V light mixed SUV, save money and worry at home?
The new Cadillac XT4 is still 4600/1881/1627mm in terms of body size and 2779mm wheelbase. From the perspective of the interior space we observed, the rear seat space is enough for a family to travel, the rear seat also has an air outlet and charging port, and the entire front seat supports 2-way high and low adjustment and 2-way waist support, and from the second top of the mating, there are leather seats, seat heating, ventilation and massage functions, and the space and comfort of the ride are very good. The trunk can have up to 1328 liters of space, the rear seats also support proportional reclining, there is no problem in placing large items, and the size space is basically the same as the old model.
In terms of power, the biggest change of the new Cadillac XT4 is the addition of 48V light mixing in the whole series, but it is still equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 237 horsepower, the peak torque is 350N·m, the parameters are basically the same as the old model, matching the 9-speed automatic transmission, and the top model has a timely four-wheel drive. The addition of a 48V mix-and-medium system provides a small amount of auxiliary power, reduces fuel consumption during acceleration, and provides a more comfortable ride when the engine is started and stopped. In terms of fuel consumption, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the new car's WLC is 7.38L/100km, which is slightly higher than the old NEDC's comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.2L/100km, but it is a reference to two different standards, which should actually be optimized.
Write at the end
The new Cadillac XT4 is basically not much different from the old model in terms of design style and space size, and is still the compact SUV we are familiar with. However, in terms of configuration, in addition to the new car connection system, the two medium-equipped models have also been greatly upgraded in safety, technology and comfort configuration, and the 48V light mixing system added by the whole series is not only more fuel economy, but also makes the driving process more smooth and comfortable, which well meets the needs of young people who have the pursuit of intelligence and economy.
