Although the purchase of used cars is the most affordable choice for consumers, there will always be some concerns, fearing that accident cars, water soaking cars, overhaul cars and other issues of vehicles will be selected. In fact, compared with the physical depreciation (tangible loss), the "original car manufacturing quality" factor mentioned in the comprehensive analysis method of used cars is often ignored. In addition, the source of used cars, price trends and recalls are also important factors in judging whether a used car is worth buying. As a leading defective automobile product information collection platform in China, based on massive big data analysis, Car Quality Network will successively conduct a comprehensive evaluation of second-hand models of various brands, so as to provide direct and effective reference information for everyone. The evaluation objects of this period are SAIC-GM Cadillac CT5 models of each year, and the detailed analysis is shown below.
First, the model year analysis:
Models 2020-2022 are available
"No back-drive, no luxury", Cadillac with this short advertising slogan to carry forward the spirit of rear-drive, deep into the hearts of every car consumer. Among them, the CT5, as the latest mid-size car in the Cadillac family, has been loved by many fans of the after-driving high-horsepower car as soon as it was released. As a new generation of American rear-drive luxury models, Cadillac CT5 has been listed in China for only two years, there are already many vehicle sources in the market, today we will take a look at how this car performs in the second-hand car market.
As the successor of CTS, the domestic version of Cadillac CT5 was officially listed in China in November 2019. The new car reshapes the design concept of American luxury, the appearance of the whole car looks like a handsome and compelling appearance, coupled with the sneaky body posture and fierce movement surrounded, the overall shape has a high degree of recognition. Moreover, the car is also based on the latest lightweight rear-drive platform, and with a new generation of electronic architecture, it is obviously threatening. The interior part has also added more curved design, and the material is solid and thick, in line with Cadillac's consistently high standards, showing a luxurious texture. In the power part, the car is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with variable cylinder technology, with a maximum power of 241 horsepower, a peak torque of 350 Nm, and a transmission system matching a 10-speed manual transmission.
At present, in the domestic second-hand car market, SAIC-GM Cadillac CT5 has only one generation of models, and there are two small modifications during the car, except for a slight change in engine power, there is no difference in other parts. In addition, the 2020-2022 models of the car are all national VI emission standards, and it is not a problem for first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen to be licensed. On the whole, the 2020-2022 models are within the range of options.
Second, the market price analysis:
The 2020 model model is relatively cost-effective
Usually, at the time of the iteration of automobile products, the old models sold are greatly preferential due to inventory clearance, and sometimes even the price of second-hand cars is "upside down". Then, at present, how is the second-hand car market situation of SAIC-GM Cadillac CT5, and the car quality network integrates the quotations of second-hand car platforms such as used car home and Guazi used cars, and comprehensively derives the price range of the market car source for consumer reference.
Judging from the above-mentioned used car prices, due to the short listing cycle of SAIC-GM Cadillac CT5, the price of used cars in the market is generally high. Among them, the price of the second-hand car of the 2020 model is about 70% of the guidance price of the new car that year, which is relatively cost-effective. The price of used cars after 2021 models (inclusive) is still firm, and the cost performance is relatively low. Therefore, based on factors such as the difference in the appearance of iterative products, the price of used cars and the use tax of vehicles and ships in the later period, the 2020 SAIC-GM Cadillac CT5 used cars are relatively more cost-effective.
Third, the second-hand car source analysis:
2020 models accounted for the highest proportion
When selecting second-hand cars, whether the market supply is sufficient is also one of the key issues for consumers. If the supply of vehicles is sufficient, on the one hand, consumers have more choices, and on the other hand, they also increase the opportunity for further bargaining. If the source of vehicles is relatively insufficient or very few, it may have a greater impact on whether consumers continue to buy the car. With reference to the data of Renren Car and used car home platform, the car quality network statistics show that the current 2020-2022 SAIC-GM Cadillac CT5 national used car source is: Renren car release 34 vehicle sources, used car home release car source 153 vehicles. From the perspective of proportion, the 2020 models occupy the absolute main force of the market, and the proportion of single-year models has reached 67%, while the proportion of 2021 models is not small, and the proportion of 2022 models is relatively small.
From the perspective of the regional distribution of used car sources, the sum of SAIC-GM's CADILLAC CT5 used car sources in six provinces of Zhejiang, Sichuan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan and Shandong has exceeded 50% of the national total. Among them, the proportion of models with one year of age is the highest, reaching 53%. There is also a certain proportion of models that are less than 1 year old, and models that are 2 years old account for a relatively small proportion.
Fourth, the quality of word-of-mouth analysis:
Complaints about the 2020 revamp/2021 model are slightly higher
Consumers often ignore the "original car manufacturing quality" factor when choosing used cars, but in fact this is a very important indicator when choosing used cars. To this end, based on a large number of real car owner complaints, through professional data analysis, the SAIC-GM Cadillac CT5 product quality assessment, from which to find out possible batch quality defects, to provide consumers with more direct and effective reference information.

Judging from the typical complaint problems, the number of complaints about fault problems such as "transmission abnormal sound", "engine abnormal sound" and "audio and video system failure" is relatively large. Through further analysis, it is known that the above faults are mainly concentrated in the 2021 and 2020 redesigned models. Therefore, it is recommended that consumers can focus on these aspects when purchasing the above-mentioned annual models.
Overall, in addition to the relatively high number of complaints about the 2020 model modification and the 2021 model, the complaint volume of the remaining models in each year has remained at a low level, and there is no common defect problem, and the quality reputation is relatively stable.
From the proportion of mileage traveled for the first time, the cadillac CT5 has a failure within 10,000 kilometers of the total proportion of more than 60%.
