Who comes to mind when you think of mid-size SUVs launched by luxury brands? Mercedes-Benz GRC, Audi Q5L and BMW X3 in first-line luxury brands? Or the Cadillac XT5, Lexus NX and Infiniti QX50 among second-tier luxury brands? Or the Hongqi HS5 launched by domestic luxury brands? In fact, for most consumers, they will give priority to BBA, after all, they are first-line luxury brands, brand premium ability is very strong, although there is no advantage in terms of price, but in terms of brand and "face" is not second-tier luxury brands and domestic luxury brands can be compared.
The 2021 model has become more and more refined after a round of mid-term overhaul. For example, the new shield front face grille has two sets of designs, one is the black sports mesh grille of this test drive, and the other is a more dotted grille with chrome trim. This corresponds to two different sets of rear light sets, the Sport version will have a transparent tail light shell, while the Deluxe version will have a traditional red lampshade.
The interior of the Cadillac XT5 gives a very youthful feel, with brown wood grain trims, full of vitality, stirring the hearts of young people. In addition, the car is also equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image, active noise reduction, remote start and other configurations.
The side shape has a strong sense of power, mainly from the tough lines and the design of the loose rim. The wheelbase was 2857mm, but the length, width and height of the body were 4813/1903/1686mm, ahead of the BBA models in the same class. The Platinum version uses Michelin Primacy SUV tires for comfort road use, and the 235/55 R20 is also in line with the needs of mid-size SUVs. On the practical level, it can be found that the back row also has keyless access and is equipped with privacy glass.
The tail design is also full of power, and the spoiler design above also hides the rear wiper, which looks more beautiful. The interior of the tail light group is smoked black, and the light group is white when it is extinguished, with high transparency and a certain sense of technology. The bilateral single exhaust below also has a metal decorative cover, reflecting the delicacy that a luxury brand should have.
