Domestic consumers are still "brand-oriented" when choosing luxury C-class cars, and they pay more attention to the brand than the product itself. In fact, this way of buying a car is not rational, aside from the brand only to see the product force and price, the good sales bmw 5 series, Audi A6L and Mercedes-Benz E-class cost performance is not high, their domestic price is also much higher than the North American version of the model, but consumers will be willing to bear this high premium because they are BBA, and even feel that it is reasonable, for those cost-effective models but disdainful, feel that the choice of them has no "face", "second-tier luxury brand", how indecent it sounds, ah, It is still a first-line luxury brand that is high and low, indifferent and elegant, and can also symbolize its own identity and status. In the end, those cost-effective luxury car is dragged down by the brand, if their logo is replaced by BBA, the price remains unchanged, is it going to be "crazy"?
Cadillac CT6 is a luxury family car dragged down by the brand, it is built according to the highest standards, but some people think it is cheap. There is no doubt that as Cadillac's flagship sedan, cadillac CT6 platform and power system are the highest specifications, it uses a longitudinal rear-drive platform to build, the platform and BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class specifications the same, but also equipped with Cadillac's unique electromagnetic induction suspension and suspension soft and hard adjustment functions, more equipped with four-wheel steering system, in my opinion, its manufacturing standards have surpassed the luxury C-Class, closer to the luxury D-Class, the overall strength is very strong.
Power, Cadillac CT6 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, the maximum power of 237 horsepower, the maximum torque of 350 Nm, the transmission system is 10AT gearbox, 7.4 seconds to break the hundred, the power output is not the first echelon, but it is not meat, it uses a double cross-arm independent front suspension + multi-link independent rear suspension structure to improve driving stability, the roll feeling when turning at high speed also has a good level of inhibition. According to the owner's reputation, the advantages of cadillac CT6 are enough power, good control, large space, high riding comfort, high cost performance, the disadvantage is that the chassis is low, easy to support the bottom, tire noise, thin paint, large interior odor, rear floor bulge high. Out of 5 points, the average score of the owner is 4.51 points, for reference, the average score of the Audi A6L is 4.55 points, the average score of the BMW 5 Series is 4.58 points, and the average score of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is 4.23 points, and the owner of the Cadillac CT6 is still very agreeable.
Although positioning luxury C-class cars, but the size of the Cadillac CT6 is larger than most C-class cars, 5223 * 1879 * 1498mm of length, width and height and 3109mm of wheelbase has been very close to the D-class car, for reference, audi A6L length of 5038mm, Mercedes-Benz E-class length of 5078mm, they are extended after domestic production, the length is more than 5 meters, but it is not more than 5200mm, only Audi A8, Luxury D-Class cars such as the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class will only exceed 5200mm in length, and from this point of view, the size of the Cadillac CT6 is also "leapfrog". However, its interior design is a minus item, it looks very "simple", lack of a luxury flagship car should have a sense of luxury and science and technology, the creation of a scientific and technological atmosphere is not even its "little brother" - Cadillac CT5 strong, of course, this disadvantage is not the material and workmanship of the poor, but the design of the heart, Cadillac CT6 has not been updated for a long time, the competition is inevitable "more than enough and insufficient strength".
In terms of price, we learned from the Wuhan area that cadillac CT6 has a discount of 9.5-100,000 yuan, its entry price has fallen to less than 300,000 yuan, and indeed verified the joke that "Cadillac is all standard BMW 3 series", a luxury C-class car comparable to a luxury D-class car, the price is similar to BMW's luxury B-class car, and it is no wonder that some people think it is cheap. In addition, when I test-drove this car, I was very uncomfortable with its braking foot feeling, it felt very hard, lacked linearity, but the sound of the engine running was very good, crisp and clean, and it had a sense of strength, unlike the Mercedes-Benz E-class engine, which had a rough grainy feeling when running, and the engine noise was also large. Overall, cadillac CT6 is very cost-effective, mechanical literacy is also good, if you can accept its shortcomings, and do not care much about brand influence, you can choose.
