As the owner of the short-axle 3 series with chassis codename F30, he is particularly satisfied with the attitude control and driving texture of the 3 series, and also likes to "often compete with the same good", and has long coveted the electromagnetic suspension and 4-piston Brembo calipers of the Cadillac CT5.
Lucky enough to be able to take advantage of my position, get a day to experience the 2021 Cadillac CT5 28T Platinum Sport, fasten your seatbelts, and we're ready to go.
Get a quick look at cadillac CT5 test drive in 1 minute
Advantages: suspension is praised, the brakes come particularly strongly, the seat vibration reminder is very practical, the body follows very well, and the 15-speaker BOSE sound resolution is excellent, good-looking (if it is good-looking, it is also an advantage).
Disadvantages: The throttle is too sensitive, the gearbox shift is too aggressive, the comfort mode is too aggressive, and the sneakback shape encroaches on the interior space of the car.
Since Cadillac started using the CT series name, it has become more and more handsome, and the daytime light that the CT6 is about to fall to the ground can make me perform countless attention ceremonies, although the wind rating is gradually out of control, but it still can't affect the handsomeness that conquered me.
What do I most want to do when I'm alone with CT5? Drive it, of course!
The first brake after starting completely ignited my excitement fuel, and the CT5 was almost standing on the spot, and it was just getting started.
Why is the suspension of this car so anti-natural? It's a sporty model, and I understand that you control the body posture very well, but why do you have such a wonderful dynamic texture? The sense of the road is very clear, almost every time I pass through the potholes on the road, I can complete the whole action, and I feel that the path between the cars passes through a thick layer of ox plate tendons, so that I unconsciously walk along the most bumpy path.
For the larger ditches in the city road, I thought that there was always a suspension treatment that would lose its attitude, and there was always a time that it would exceed your ability, and I failed, and none of it was beyond the control of the suspension.
The first time I learned about electromagnetic suspension was the BMW X5 M with chassis code name E70, which also gave me infinite fantasies about electromagnetic suspension, and later learned about The Orins suspension, and the fantasy escalated into desire.
The CT5's electromagnetic suspension tilts in the corner to disapprove me, is that it? But as I continue to corner with the angle of the curve, the performance moment of electromagnetic suspension begins, and it will complete the next larger angle route in a body posture with little change until the end of the corner.
Try the body's spontaneity again.
I tried again, this car has no tail? The integrity of the body is so natural that I can't seem to feel the presence of the rear, which convinces me, the owner of the short-axle 3 series.
But it is not without drawbacks, the most obvious drawback is the shift logic of the gearbox in comfort mode.
The absolute power of 237 horsepower is enough, and the 10AT transmission is very satisfied with the upshift in the slow acceleration, but when I tap the throttle with what I think is very small, the gearbox will immediately downshift, and even immediately to 3000 rpm standby.
When it is really necessary to downshift and accelerate, after the first downgrade, the gearbox will have the probability of choosing to downshift again in a very short period of time, that is to say, there will be a probability of waiting for two downshifts for an overtaking action.
The following is a two-minute international practice.
The sports grille occupies most of the front face, and the split daytime lights are evenly bright, outlining the outer contour of the body, and the convex wheel eyebrows create a wide body effect.
The streamlined shape on the side of the car stands out in the sea of cars, but at the same time sacrifices a certain amount of interior space.
The double exhaust at the tail is not fake, and the sound wave from the exhaust can be clearly felt when idling.
Both front and rear tires are 245/40 R19 in size and are equipped with Michelin PS4 S high-performance tires.
As a U.S. luxury brand, in the interior materials to work hard, the dashboard is also all wrapped in leather, and added to the sewing treatment, touch central control screen can also be controlled by the physical knob behind the gear handle.
In the state of collision warning, identification of pedestrians in front, radar alarm, etc., the seat cushion of the driver's seat will vibrate strongly, which will achieve an excellent effect of reminder, and will be combined with HUD at the same time, visual and tactile two-pronged.
The BOSE sound resolution of the 15 speakers is excellent, and it feels like the person singing is right next to your ear.
The CT5's rear legroom performs well in models that have not been extended, and although the head space has been optimized, it will still touch the top in a precarious sitting state.
The day with CT5 is almost over, back to the car to open the seat ventilation, automatic air conditioning adjusted to 22 degrees, sitting on the electromagnetic suspension to return the car!
summary
Under the wave of lengthening, it is already very rare that the Cadillac CT5 can maintain its original taste, and it has also further strengthened the sports orientation, with high-performance tires, electromagnetic suspension and other rare configurations, while maintaining a high level of luxury, so that fun and comfort coexist.
