Are we not allowed to have such a "fork" car on the road? Overseas, some high-performance off-road vehicles have sprung up, such as Ford, Jeep, Dodge and even Acura. Today we talk about the Cadillac family, the new Escalade-V (hereinafter referred to as: Careyd-V), which is considered to be the SUV model that Cadillac is least likely to wear the V-series badge, but as Cadillac focuses on expanding the V-series family camp, after the introduction of the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, the large Careyd-V seems to have become meaningful.
Cadillac Careyd-V is not yet on sale, and the official first released some official trailers to stimulate consumers' adrenaline and drop their appetite. The car is expected to go on sale in the North American market this spring, so let's take a look at the details of the new car through the pictures.
The appearance is really too low-key to be honest, The Carey-V is almost the same as the ordinary Careyd, and the only thing that can be seen is that the V series only has the V series logo on the body and the exhaust of the rear of the car to make a hint. Seeing no, the Creed-V blackened the front grille in the middle of the net, and the air intakes on the front bar and the decorations on both sides were also treated in the same way. The hubs are in a multi-spoke style, which is exclusive to the Carey-V, and the tires are made of Bridgestone high-performance tires. Through the hub you can see that the Carey-V uses a big red caliper, the supplier I don't say everyone knows, it is Brembo. The car also comes standard with cadillac electromagnetic suspension.
The Careyd is huge, and it might not be surprising if cadillac's other lightweight SUVs are transformed into the V-Series. But you know, GM has no shortage of chassis tuners, and the good handling of cadillac's other V-series models is enough to say it all. We really can't wait to see how Cadillac Carey-V "dances".
At present, Cadillac has not announced what kind of power the Claréder-V will use, there are two options, a LT4 V8 with the same as the CT5-V Blackwing, with a maximum power of 677 horsepower and a peak torque of 893 Nm. If the Carey-V uses this engine, the performance parameters may be adjusted, it needs more torque to drive the body, and the torque platform intervention point will be lower. Of course, another scheme is also the most vocal outside at present, or will use the same 6.2L supercharged engine as the old Corvette ZR1, with a maximum power of 710 horsepower. The gearbox will most likely use GM's latest 10AT.
In terms of interior, the Careyd-V may remain unchanged from the ordinary version, with a "V" mark at 6 o'clock on the steering wheel, which is also the only interior map released by Cadillac. Some details of the interior can be seen from the exterior photos, such as the wide seat headrests. In addition, the corner master speculated that the interior decoration panels may use carbon fiber splicing, and the 38-inch curved OLED Dalian screen will be retained. On the software system, The Careyd-V may be equipped with the same Performance Traction Management system as the CT5-V and Chevrolet Corvette, which allows the driver to independently set up the engine, transmission, suspension system, etc. for greater handling.
At present, Cadillac said that the SUV will be one of the members of the V series, and now it seems that the name is Creed-V, rather than the previous speculation of The Creed-V Blackwing (Blackwing). However, the details of the new car will not be known until the official release this spring, and it is expected that the new car will be released on sale as soon as the second half of this year. Unfortunately, Chinese consumers do not have access to the car, if you like, in North America small partners can consider getting one.
