In recent years, the American luxury brand Cadillac has frequently "gone out of the circle", and some car owners have been ridiculed by netizens as "bath king". As a new American flagship sedan, cadillac CT6 is even titled "Bath Emperor" by netizens.
Joke aside, Cadillac CT6 still has a place in the medium and large car market, especially potential users with a budget of three or four hundred thousand, the pressure to buy "56E" is not small, it is better to switch to Cadillac CT6, Volvo S90 and other second-tier luxury brand models.
According to the data of the Association, in the past six months (October 2021 to March 2022), cadillac CT6 sales are very stable, maintaining at 1,000 vehicles, the highest 1599 vehicles (December 2021), the lowest 1034 vehicles (March 2022), although not as good as the Volvo S90, but not like jaguar XFL, Volkswagen Huiang dying.
Of course, it can harvest sales of more than 1,000 units per month, largely thanks to the huge discount of nearly 100,000 yuan for cadillac CT6. Putting aside brand stereotypes, purely from the perspective of product strength, how does cadillac CT6 perform in the 300,000 yuan price range?
As we all know, the automotive platform can most directly reflect the positioning of a car, for example, the mainstream model of the relative entry will use a platform with a high general rate of parts, and the relatively high-end model will have a more advanced platform to build, because the engine, gearbox layout, and even chassis structure, suspension structure, etc. of the high-end car will have direct differences.
Cadillac CT6 is based on the Omega rear-drive platform, which is fundamentally different from the so-called "high-level Kercrosse" by many car-blind netizens. Not only is the engine and gearbox a longitudinal layout, many parts of the vehicle are made of more advanced aluminum materials, and the amount of aluminum used is 57.72%, which is far more realistic than the "aluminum steel-for-steel" competitors such as Mercedes-Benz E-class.
In addition, in terms of powertrain, the 2.0T turbo engine equipped with cadillac CT6 is all high-power, with a maximum horsepower of 237ps, a peak torque of 350N·m, matching a 10AT gearbox, and once had a 3.0T V6+ four-wheel drive advanced version, with excellent power performance.
The Cadillac CT6 currently on sale performs better than the BMW 525, Mercedes-Benz E260, and Audi A6L 45TFSI power performance, with a measured acceleration time of 0-100km/h of about 7 seconds. It is worth mentioning that the Cadillac CT6 2.0T engine has closed cylinder technology, and the overall fuel consumption performance is still a certain gap between the "oil tiger" that is rumored on the Internet. Overall, the Cadillac CT6's powertrain is absolutely impeccable.
Cadillac CT6 configuration popularity is also good, even the "beggar version" is almost readily available, there is no obvious missing points. So it seems that cadillac CT6 is both cheap and not bad, why hasn't it become mainstream?
Tracing back to the source, most of the potential users who buy luxury medium and large cars care more about luxury. Coincidentally, this is where the Cadillac CT6 is not good enough, whether it is the interior design, or the overall atmosphere creation, it is indeed not as good as the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6L, and it is even worse than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. So, from the perspective of home, cadillac CT6 does perform well, but from the perspective of luxury cars, Cadillac CT6 still has many places to improve, what do you think?
