The budget of 250,000 yuan is to buy a fuel car or a pure electric model? I believe that many people are struggling with this problem. On the one hand, there is no need to worry about the freedom of energy replenishment and battery life, and on the other hand, it is a smarter car experience and low cost, which is always difficult to choose. So this time, The car uncle found two popular sedan products for young people, they are Xiaopeng P7 and Cadillac CT5, look at new energy and traditional fuel vehicles, who is more worth buying!
Futuristic sense of technology meets traditional American design
As a medium-sized car from the brand of new car-making forces, the overall styling design of Xiaopeng P7 is full of futuristic feeling. The front face adopts the "interstellar" design language, and the fully enclosed shape with the low-lying body posture looks trendy enough, and it is also very technological. The design of the split headlights is inspired by the "Future X-Men", and the through-led daytime running lights can achieve different combinations of "light language", and have a good visual effect after lighting.
The shape of the side of the car follows a more traditional design concept and looks very stretched. The combination of frameless doors and hidden inductive door handles enables an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.236Cd and enhances the smoothness of the body. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Xiaopeng P7 are 4880/1896/1450 mm, and the wheelbase is 2998 mm.
The shape of the rear of the car adopts a minimalist design style, the line extending from the roof down, slightly upturned at the rear, and the design of the width light echoes the daytime running lights at the front of the car. The tail lights are designed in a split type, with the through-line light group being a running light and the brake light group located at the bottom.
In contrast, the cadillac CT5's design style is more traditional. Compared with the previous "diamond cut" design concept, the Cadillac CT5 does not have the fierceness of the past, adding some fashion sense. Cadillac's classic shield-type forward grille has been retained, and the LED daytime running lights with the longitudinal layout match the domineering front surround for a sporty feel.
On the side of the body, the Cadillac CT5 adopts a slip-back style, with slightly wider front and rear fenders of the body body and double five-spoke wheels, making the car shape dynamic. In terms of body size, the Cadillac CT5 has a length, width and height of 4924/1883/1453 (1445) mm respectively, and because it has not continued to launch a long-axis version of the model, the wheelbase of 2947mm is at a disadvantage compared to the Xiaopeng P7.
The rear part of the Cadillac CT5 adopts an irregular taillight, with a spoiler extending from the end of the trunk, and a total of two square chrome exhausts on both sides at the bottom, which well strengthens the sporty and fashion sense of the whole vehicle.
Intelligence is the mainstream of the future
Looking at the design of the two cars in the car, the interior style of the Xiaopeng P7 adopts a simple and exquisite design concept. The straight lines of the center console blend well with the air conditioning outlets, taking into account both aesthetics and practicality. The through-line dual screen consists of a 10.25-inch high-definition full LCD smart meter and a 14.97-inch suspension touch screen, at the same time, the material of the seat and interior panels also brings a very homely atmosphere to the car.
The interior of the Cadillac CT5 is a more classic American style, with a wrap-around design that slopes to the side of the main car. The center control is a 10-inch display above and the physical buttons below. In terms of materials, the cadillac CT5's center console, central passage and handrail box are covered with leather, and the workmanship is good.
However, the biggest difference between the two models is the degree of intelligence. Xiaopeng P7, built based on SEPA platform, has a perfect vehicle neural network and a powerful dual engine processor, and supports vehicle OTA upgrades. In terms of driving assistance functions, XPILOT3.0 intelligent driving assistance system supports NGP intelligent navigation assistance driving, parking lot memory parking and other functions. In addition, Xmart OS in-vehicle intelligent system, Tanna Dynaudio theater-level sound system, intelligent light language and other configurations also bring a more intelligent car experience.
Although cadillac CT5 also provides functions such as OnStar, car Wi-Fi, mobile phone interconnection, OTA update, etc., the overall level is still stuck at the level of simple vehicle-machine interconnection in the past of fuel vehicles, and the intelligent experience is poor.
Can you save an iPhone in 4 months?
In terms of power endurance, the Xiaopeng P7 performance version is equipped with a front and rear dual motor layout, the total motor power is 316kW, the total torque of the motor is 655N·m; other versions of the model adopt a single motor layout, the total motor power is 196kW, and the total torque of the motor is 390N·m. In terms of endurance, Xiaopeng P7 can provide 5 versions of 480 km, 562 km, 586 km, 670 km and 706 km according to different models, and the options are very rich.
The Cadillac CT5 is powered by a 2.0T longitudinal four-cylinder turbocharged engine with variable cylinder technology, with a maximum power of 177 kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m. The driveline section is matched by a 10-speed automatic transmission.
From the perspective of car cost, the average power consumption of the Version of Xiaopeng P7 battery capacity 60.2kWh is about 14.8kWh/100km, according to the one-degree electricity of 1.5 yuan, a year mileage of 20,000km, the annual electricity cost is 4440 yuan, an average of 370 yuan per month; and the actual fuel consumption of cadillac CT5 is about 10L/100km, also according to the annual mileage of 20000km, and the 95th oil price is calculated by the latest 9.1 yuan/L. The cost of oil in a year is 18200 yuan, an average of about 1516.6 yuan per week. It only takes 4 months for the Xiaopeng P7 to save an iPhone13.
Uncle Che summed up
Regarding the difference between the two models, the difference can already be seen through the comparison of the three aspects. The Xiaopeng P7, whether in appearance or interior design, is more futuristic and trendy than cadillac CT5. At the same time, in terms of the degree of intelligence in the car, the performance of the Xiaopeng P7 can also be described as a crushing level. Coupled with the cost advantages and long cruising range brought by pure electric models, in the case of similar prices, Xiaopeng P7 is obviously more worth choosing.
