As we all know, last year the entire automotive market was very tight due to the shortage of chips. Especially luxury brands, due to the scarcity of resources, there have been different degrees of price increases in commercial vehicles. In the blink of an eye, 2021 has passed, although the price of the car has stabilized compared with last year, but the "chip shortage" is not a complete solution to the two months after all, so it is reasonable to be capricious.
For example, bmw 3 series, after the Spring Festival this year, there are many news that BMW's car prices have risen slightly. For example, the hot-selling model 3 series, according to netizen feedback, the current 3 series is not only tight, but also the price has been raised, some 4S stores are now sold out of existing cars, and they can only wait for the car while accepting the price increase.
So, if it is the same situation, how will you choose? Do you accept the rise or find another option? If it were, I might choose the latter, such as taking a smaller budget to consider other models that are more suitable, such as you can choose jaguar XEL and Cadillac CT5, the same level of product but can save a lot of money.
First of all, from the appearance of it, these two cars belong to the design of young, sporty style, first of all, CT5 bar, it adopts the Cadillac family design language, sharp boomerang headlights, dot matrix type net, fangs type front LED daytime running lights and other elements, all make CT5 look extremely aggressive. With the dynamic tail design of the small slip back, young people will definitely like it.
In contrast, jaguar XEL takes a route that is biased towards the British style, with slender answer lights combined with a comfortable body line like a cigar, and the "leopard head" LOGO with a very imposing front end, the sense of grade immediately comes out. Opening it is enough to prove that your taste is not ordinary.
In terms of interior, the styles of the two cars are also different. First of all, Jaguar XEL, as a British brand, XEL's interior is a good combination of luxury and personality, three-frame sports steering wheel, embedded central control screen, although it looks not as luxurious as BBA, but the overall feeling is not good. In contrast, the interior of cadillac CT5 is more conservative, although the overall material is solid, but the interior design has been complained by many netizens, if you are more concerned about the sense of science and technology, ct5's interior may not be the best choice.
However, at the configuration level, these two cars are not picky, as second-tier luxury brands, they all know how their advantages should be reflected. So, despite being standard models, their configurations are rich enough that many of the configurations that require high equipment on the BBA are entry-level configurations on both bodies.
Conclusion: The last point worth mentioning is their cost performance. If you start with a 3 series according to the current market, it will take at least 300,000 or so, but these two cars are completely unnecessary. Taking Jaguar XEL as an example, the current national maximum discount has reached 100,000 yuan, take the money of the entry 3 series to buy a top Jaguar XEL, is it not fragrant?
