When it comes to second-tier luxury brands, many small partners may first think of brands such as Lexus, Volvo and Cadillac. In particular, cadillac CT5, the cost performance among medium-sized luxury brands is very high, but after comparing the Lincoln Z, which also belongs to the American luxury brand, everyone understands why Lincoln Z has no opponent in the second-tier luxury brand, I don't believe you look down.
Design: Lincoln Z's exterior design is more stylish
The two cars belong to the same American luxury brand, but there are still big differences in appearance design.
The exterior design of the Lincoln Z is very avant-garde and stylish overall, with attention to the polishing of details. The interior of the wide central mesh in the front part of the car is decorated with stars, creating a strong sense of fashion. The through-line day running light integrates Lincoln's LOGO into it, which is highly recognizable. It is worth mentioning that Lincoln's LOGO is also part of the daytime running lights, which can also be lit. This damn fashion sense, and it's handsome again!
The Lincoln Z's body side lines are very smooth, hidden door handles are rare in the same class, and the multi-frame wheel shape is strongly designed to create a strong sporty effect. The trim on the front fenders blends in with the front door handles for a strong sense of exclusivity.
Lincoln Z's rear is still a highlight, the through-type taillight design integrates the "LINCOLN" English LOGO and can be lit, there is a level of design after lighting, the visual effect is very good, which reflects the Lincoln Z design team's good intentions in handling details.
In addition, the Lincoln Z has a shark fin antenna layout above the roof, and a bilateral single exhaust design below, highlighting the strong performance strength. The tail throat is decorated with chrome and has a strong sense of design, which are the highlights of Lincoln Z's exterior design.
The exterior design of the Cadillac CT5 continues the Design Style of the Cadillac Family, and the diamond cut design inspiration makes the CT5's appearance angular. The shape of the middle net and the LOGO have always been, and the interior is embellished with honeycomb design to create a strong sense of movement. Fang-style daytime lanterns are integrated with headlights and are highly recognizable.
Ct5's body side lines are relatively tough, the through-type waist line runs through the front and rear of the vehicle, and the petal-shaped wheels are unique, which enhances the texture of the exterior design. The Cadillac LOGO on the front fenders creates a strong sense of exclusivity.
The ct5's rear design is relatively full from the overall point of view, and the thin strip taillight design is highly recognizable. The layout of the shark fin antenna is still above the headlights, and the exhaust design of the bilateral single is used below, highlighting the strength of performance, and the chrome decoration of the near-parallelogram enhances the luxurious sense of the exterior design.
Summary: The design concept of the two cars is different, the appearance design of ct5 is more powerful, and the design audience with edges and angles will be relatively large. Lincoln Z's exterior design pays more attention to detail, and the avant-garde and stylish design will win it more consumers.
The gap in interior design is large: Lincoln Z's sense of technology crushes a second-tier luxury brand
If there is not much difference in the exterior design of the two cars, then when we sit in the car of the two cars, you will feel a very obvious gap.
Lincoln Z's interior design exudes a strong sense of technology in luxury. The full LCD instrument and the 27-inch large central control screen form a panoramic center console, creating a full sense of technology. The resolution of the two screens is extremely high, and the display effect is very clear.
The steering wheel of lincoln Z adopts a two-frame design, the layout of the multi-function buttons is reasonable, which is convenient for blind exercise during driving, and the surrounding is embellished by chrome decorations, creating a strong sense of luxury. Lincoln button-type electronic file is naturally "reserved track", the metallic physical button luxury is strong, such a design also makes the entire central control T shape very clean and tidy.
Lincoln Z's seat comfort is extremely high, the cushions are very soft, sitting up has an immersive experience, the backrest is very thick, the wrapping is also very good, and the headrest is also very thick, in line with the shape of mainland consumers.
The interior design of cadillac CT5 is also a strong Kaidi style, and the interior design of CT5 shows the informal design style of American models to the fullest. The trapezoidal design of the floating central control screen is more conventional in size and there is no big surprise. The full LCD instrument is not matched, and the resolution of the central control screen is higher than the price, but the UI design fails to reflect the strength of luxury brands.
Ct5's steering wheel design is general, but the grip is very good, and the multi-function buttons use physical buttons and mechanical roller design methods, but lack of luxury. The electronic file handle still has no sense of design and looks more ordinary. The comfort of the CT5 seat is commendable, the cushion is relatively soft, the backrest is highly wrapped, and it is very comfortable to sit on.
Summary: The interior design gap between the two cars is large, and the interior design of Lincoln Z is extremely strong, and the creation of a sense of science and technology is also very well done. Especially the through-view center console, it is difficult to dislike. The interior design of ct5 is relatively ordinary and does not reflect what a luxury brand should look like.
All are the big space of the United States
Both cars are positioned as midsize cars, but in terms of space, the Lincoln Z is slightly ahead.
Lincoln Z body size length, width and height are: 4982 * 1865 * 1485mm, wheelbase 2930mm. In the process of our actual experience, the back space of the Lincoln Z is spacious enough, especially the head space, even if the editor is 178cm tall, there is no sense of depression. At the same time, the Lincoln Z also provides a flat trunk space, the height of the platform is relatively low, and it is very convenient to pick up things.
Cadillac CT5 body size length, width and height are: 1924 * 1883 * 1453mm, wheelbase 2947mm. Ct5's body size is not much different from lincoln Z, CT5 also brings us a very spacious and comfortable experience, CT5 lateral space performance is better, even if it is ridden by 3 adults, it is not very cramped.
Summary: The body size of the two cars is more obvious in the same class, and the performance in terms of space is even more so, both cars are representatives of the American luxury large space model, and the spacious and comfortable rear space has left a deep impression on us.
There's not much difference in power comparison: you have the technology and I have super power
In terms of power, the two cars are also not much different, and it is difficult to distinguish between up and down.
The Lincoln Z is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 246Ps and a peak torque of 376 Nm, paired with an 8AT transmission. Lincoln Z's set of powertrains has increased compared to the parameters of previous models, many of the same level of sports known for the power is not as good as lincoln Z power, 0-100km/h official score of 6.8s, this result on a medium-sized body is already very remarkable.
The Cadillac CT5 is also powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 237 Ps and a peak torque of 350 Nm, with a 10AT gearbox. The power parameters of this engine are not as good as the Lincoln Z's 2.0T, but it is equipped with the universal Tripower variable valve management technology, which will have certain advantages in fuel consumption.
Summary: The two cars are invariably equipped with 2.0T engines, the power of the Lincoln Z 2.0T engine can be said to be the best in the same class, and the CT5's 2.0T with Tripower variable valve management technology, one is powerful and the other has technology.
The configuration contrast is obvious: the lincoln Z's cost performance is dead
In terms of configuration comparison, we select two models with similar guidance prices, namely: Lincoln Z 2022 iku Zunya Edition (guide price: 299,800) and Cadillac CT5 2022 28T luxury standard edition (guide price: 294,700).
Through the configuration comparison, we obviously found that the lincoln Z configuration is much richer than the CT5, with a large number of very practical configurations, such as 19-inch wheels, parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping system, road traffic sign recognition, 360° panoramic image, full-speed adaptive cruise, engine start-stop technology, sports appearance kit, hidden door handle, steering wheel heating, 12.3-inch full LCD instrumentation, front mobile phone wireless charging, 27-inch central control screen, facial recognition and Ruiwei audio.

And the lincoln Z guidance price is only 5100 yuan more than the CT5, spend this money to enjoy life, why not enjoy it!
Summary: The Lincoln Z, led by the Chinese design team, is more in line with the car purchase needs of domestic consumers in terms of configuration, and they know what practical configurations domestic consumers need, so in terms of configuration comparison, Lincoln Z has almost no opponent at the same level, which is quite lonely!
Written in the end: Lincoln Z vs CT5 In addition to the stylish exterior design and high-tech interior design, more importantly, it has super power and super cost performance. The exterior design of CT5 is a strong point, but the interior design is inferior, although the power is the same as 2.0T, but the power performance is not as good as Lincoln Z, coupled with the overall rout in terms of cost performance, it is not difficult to see that after comparing CT5, we know that Lincoln Z has almost no opponent in the second-tier luxury brands.
