The new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine + 48V light mixing system as standard, with a maximum engine power of 174kW and a peak torque of 350N·m. Next, we will recommend which model has the best price performance for you according to the configuration differences between models.
First, a brief description of the model
In terms of appearance, the 2022 SAIC-GM Cadillac XT4 has not changed much, and the exquisite and capable lines are still clearly visible, highlighting a good sense of muscle. The new car uniformly adopts a fashionable appearance style, such as high-gloss metal trims, brushed aluminum window strips and satin chrome door handles and other details, making the whole car more luxurious and classy. The top four-wheel drive version of the model that previously dominated the sports appearance style will meet with consumers in the future or through new models.
The 2022 SAIC-GM Cadillac XT4 offers two sizes of rims, with a 20-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheel as standard on top, a chrome finish and a fan blade shape to create a sporty and stylish effect. The rest of the models are 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, although the shape design is similar, but the overall texture is not as good as the top model.
In terms of body color, the new car will be available in six liveries, namely blue, Moran brown, carmine, obsidian, silver lime and diamond white. The overall color scheme is bright, very suitable for young consumers, if the pursuit of personality, then carmine and blue are good choices, and want to be calm, Moran brown and silver lime will bring unexpected effects.
In the interior part, the 2022 SAIC-GM Cadillac XT4 has a strong Cadillac family design style, an asymmetrical center console design of the ring, and a stepped functional arrangement, which greatly enhances the visual layering. At the same time, in terms of configuration, the new car also provides electronic barriers, 8-inch suspension central control screen, multimedia control knobs, front seat ventilation/heating/massage, HUD head-up display, interior mood lights and a 13-speaker BOSE sound system, etc., in line with the positioning of its luxury brand models.
In terms of power system, the 2022 SAIC-GM Cadillac XT4 has replaced the 2.0T+48V light hybrid power system. Among them, the maximum power of the engine is 174 kW, the peak torque is 350 N·m, and the matching transmission system is a 9-speed manual transmission. At the same time, the top-mounted model also provides a timely four-wheel drive system with multi-plate clutch.
Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations
The entry-level model of the 2022 SAIC-GM Cadillac XT4 has a high performance and basically meets the needs of ordinary families. At the same time, high-end configurations such as active noise reduction, multi-layered soundproof glass in the front row, electric adjustment of the main driver's seat and active closed air intake grille are rare in the entry-level models of luxury brand compact SUVs. Only unfortunately, the entry-level model is different from other versions of the model in appearance, and the front/rear surround is less matte silver decoration, which makes people see at a glance that this is a low-end model, so it is not in line with the original intention of most consumers who buy luxury brands, so it is not recommended.
Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis
Since buying a luxury brand, in addition to the added value of the brand, consumers undoubtedly want to get a comfortable and advanced car experience, if the configuration can be crossed naturally the best. Comprehensive configuration comparison, recommend you two-wheel drive premium type. Compared with the models with the lower configuration, the recommended models have added functions such as front seat ventilation/massage, driver's seat memory, richer front seat adjustment and automatic folding of exterior mirrors, and the difference is only 11,000 yuan, which is still relatively cost-effective.
Compared with the recommended model, although the top version has increased the timely four-wheel drive system and a number of comfort configurations, the difference has also reached 51,000 yuan, considering that the gain of the timely four-wheel drive for non-paved road driving is not high, and the daily usage rate of some of the increased configurations is low, so if there is no persistent pursuit of the configuration, it is completely unnecessary. On the whole, the 28T two-wheel drive premium type has a higher cost performance and can be given priority when buying a car.
