Foreign media recently in the GM headquarters near the test site to take a spy photo of the new Cadillac CT6, for this target Mercedes-Benz E-class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6-class luxury cars Cadillac, its real market is actually in China, although CT6 sales in China is not very good to sell, but it seems that at least it is much stronger than in other markets.
The vehicle in the spy photo is heavily camouflaged, so it can be judged that the car is actually a new generation model rather than a modified model, but GM has actually announced the end of the CT6, although considering that the current CT6 has only been launched for 4 years, for GM, hurry to push the electric car, and stop the loss as soon as possible on the THANKless model of the CT6 may be the most positive choice.
However, ct6 still has value in the Chinese market, so it is almost certain that the spy car taken this time is specially developed for the Chinese market, and even if the new CT6 can fight in the Chinese market for a few more years, GM will not develop a new powertrain specifically for this car, it is expected that it will still use the CT5 and CT4 series of 237 horsepower 2.0T engine + 10AT gearbox, although it is not ruled out that GM will introduce the PHEV version, but even so, It is also to solve the license pain points in China's domestic market.
In fact, GM is not a BBA opponent in overseas markets on this level of sedan, and it should also be synchronized with the world in the Chinese market and abandon ct6. E-Class, 5 Series and A6, any one is more competitive than ct6, but also more competitive, even if you don't consider the BBA, CT6 can not compete with the Volvo S90, or even BYD Khan.
