With a budget of 300,000 and tired of the BBA, I believe that many people will set their sights on American brands. Before that, cadillac CT5 was a good choice, and now, the lincoln Z listing has made many small partners wonder how to choose between these two cars?
Looking at the price first, the official guidance price range of cadillac CT5 is 27.97-34.17 million yuan; the guidance price range of Lincoln Z is 25.28-34.08 million yuan. At first glance, the two roof models are comparable in price, but the Lincoln Z on the entry model is more than 20,000 yuan lower than the CT5. However, in the terminal market, ct5 currently has a discount of about 40,000 yuan, so it seems that the actual transaction price, the two cars should be on the same level.
So in the case of similar prices, how should consumers choose? In Lao Wang's view, although the Lincoln Z and Cadillac CT5 belong to the same American luxury, the product characteristics of the two cars are completely different. In the simplest terms, the Cadillac CT5 is more like the setting of a traditional sports luxury car, and the layout of the longitudinal rear drive is also very attractive for handling, which is a veritable driver's car. In contrast, although the Lincoln Z has a good performance, its greater selling point is comfort and intelligence, which is also a more popular and acceptable setting for mainstream consumer groups. After figuring out our needs, let's move on.
In the design part, the difference between the two cars is still very obvious. Lincoln Z continues Lincoln's current family design language, focusing on luxury cities, reflecting a sense of light luxury through the embellishment of chrome trims, and has almost nothing to do with sports. In contrast, the Cadillac CT5 is more aggressive in design, the whole car continues the longitudinal rear-drive movement posture, and brembo calipers and other elements also make the car look more sporty and combative.
However, if the design is a matter of opinion, then in the performance of the car, Lincoln Z completely hangs the CT5. Although in terms of vehicle size, ct5 and Lincoln Z are both more than four meters nine long, and the CT5 wheelbase is 17mm longer than lincoln Z, but because CT5 uses a longitudinal rear-drive layout, the mechanical part encroaches on the riding space more, resulting in the rear spaciousness of CT5 is completely inferior to Lincoln Z. Especially in the rear row platform part, the CT5 is higher uplifted and is not friendly to riding in the middle of the second row. In contrast, the Lincoln Z rear row is better than the CT5 in every dimension, which is more in line with the Chinese people's demand for rear seat comfort.
Similarly, due to the more driving orientation of the CT5, the interior design is still a continuation of cadillac's "old way". The function of the central control car system is relatively single, and the entertainment ductility is also relatively general, but it is more sporty in the whole cockpit atmosphere and wins back a city. In contrast, Lincoln Z, due to the design age update, Lincoln Z and the new Mondeo use a more fashionable fish screen. On the response speed and feature richness of the car machine, it is natural that the Lincoln Z is better than the CT5, and from this we can also see that the Lincoln Z is more focused on smart fashion than the ultimate control.
Performance dimension, if you simply talk about engine power output, Lincoln Z and CT5 in the same price range model performance is relatively good. Lincoln Z this 2.0T + 8AT combination maximum power reached 181Kw, the maximum torque of 376Nm; Cadillac CT5 maximum power and torque are 174Kw and 350Nm, respectively, the power parameters of the two cars are more realistic, 100 km acceleration time of about 7 seconds or so.
However, in terms of driving experience, lincoln Z is more comfortable, the engine runs more quietly, the chassis suspension setting is also biased towards flexibility, and even when driving intensely, the body roll is more obvious. On the other hand, the CT5, with its tight steering and tight chassis, is always telling you that this is a more pure American driving machine.
Write at the end
Seeing this, I believe you already know how to choose between Lincoln Z and CT5. If you're just looking to buy a luxury B-Class car for daily mobility and care more about the configuration, luxury, and ride comfort, the Lincoln Z is clearly a more suitable choice. On the contrary, if you have a higher pursuit of driving, and also want to occasionally have a high-difficult operation, or run a mountain on the weekend, the Cadillac CT5 will definitely not disappoint you. In Lao Wang's view, the new cars on the market are dazzling, but not every car is suitable for your needs, choose a model with the same style for your own needs, so that it will feel more comfortable to use in the future.
