With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for transportation tools have increased, from the previous space is large enough to shield the wind and rain, to now the requirements of rich configuration and strong power, and the requirements are increasing at the same time as increasing the car purchase budget, most consumers have set their sights on the 400,000-level luxury model camp. So today we will talk about it, when you have a budget of 400,000 and want to buy a home-based luxury SUV, who is the best choice? Some people may have thought of the BBA's Q5L, GLC L or X3 for the first time, and some people have thought of models such as the XC60 or Land Rover Discovery Sport, which are obviously not the protagonists of this article.
Because the above models, perhaps in everyone's mind is more impressive, but really want to talk about the cost performance is not worth mentioning, who let them at best be a luxury mid-size SUV? If a budget of 400,000 can buy a high-end version of a luxury medium-sized SUV, I believe that the above model will be eclipsed in an instant. Did you guess the protagonist of today? It is from the American luxury brand Cadillac's XT6, the current model on sale guidance price range of 39.27-55.27 million yuan, the market terminal also has a good discount, like today's actual shooting of the 2022 2.0T light hybrid six-seat four-wheel drive luxury type, after counting the discount, the naked car price is around 390,000, as a high-end version of the car series is still very close to the people.
Let's review the design first, although most consumers already know the Cadillac XT6 very well, and it has achieved good sales in the past two years since its listing, but it does not prevent the minor overhauls from upgrading the details. As in the front part, it is still the classic Cadillac family language, but the XT6, as a medium and large SUV, is more inclined to the design idea of Kered, so the aura is more outstanding, compared with Tuon, Explorer and other competitors show a more price-oriented luxury atmosphere. The teardrop LED matrix headlight group is also the family language of Cadillac, which has a good recognition after lighting, and is equipped with practical functions such as adaptive near and far light and steering auxiliary lights.
As a standard medium and large SUV, cadillac XT6 figure can not be said to be the best in the same level, but also in line with normal standards, such as 5056 * 1964 * 1777mm of length, width and height, obviously to meet the requirements of this level, but the 2863mm wheelbase is some regret, because Q5L and other medium-sized SUVs after the extended wheelbase are more than 2.9 meters, fortunately, the interior space is not completely created by wheelbase. From the perspective of body shape, the new car adopts a flat and stable line outline, which brings a good sense of hardness, in line with the consistent characteristics of the large size of the American SUV, and the 20-inch multi-spoke wheel is also just in line with its own positioning and temperament.
If the shape of the body side is more monotonous, the rear still brings a good sense of design and recognition. First of all, the entire tail of XT6 is still using a square and tough silhouette, but the details use more popular elements, such as a slender strip of LED taillight group, with a large size spoiler on the roof, and a rear rectangular double exhaust layout, or it is easy to attract young consumers, usually driving it does not seem bulky, the sense of refinement is not bad.
Then sit in the car, all along, the most inferior thing for American luxury brands should be the luxury creation, especially the texture in the car, but Cadillac has finally reached an acceptable level after years of progress. Like the XT6 as a 400,000-level luxury SUV, its materials do not need to worry, within reach of the soft material, some areas are leather covered, but the high-end version of the color matching is not a surprise. The traditional pointer + LCD screen combination of the dashboard, with the embedded 8-inch central control screen, the sense of technology is not outstanding but also meets the basic interconnection needs, such as CarPlay, CarLife and other functions have appeared, you can also OTA upgrades, compared to competitors are not bad.
And other functional applications are also quite perfect, which is also the consistent advantage of Cadillac, high cost performance does not mean that the configuration is low. First of all, look at the driver assistance system, XT6 is equipped with lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, active braking and fixed speed cruise, like we actually shoot this high-end version, as well as parallel assist, road traffic sign recognition, panoramic images, etc., but unfortunately full-speed adaptive cruise is exclusive to the top. The electric induction trunk with memory and the whole car enter without a key. Practical and comfort features such as electric side foot pedals, electrically adjustable multifunctional steering wheel with heating and memory, heated ventilation for the front seats and a 14-speaker BOSE sound are also absent.
Let's briefly talk about the ride experience, since it is to want a home-based SUV, cadillac XT6 is a medium and large positioning, it is naturally indispensable to the third row of seats, the good news is that the new car can be divided into 6/7 seats, as far as possible to meet the needs of different consumers. The real model is a 6-seat version, because most families are a family of four, usually the first two rows are just right, and occasionally the emergency third row is more spacious, from the actual experience, adult men in the first two rows are no problem, the third row of legs is about a punch position, which is somewhat surprising, so that it can meet the travel needs of the longer distance.
Finally, there is power, many times consumers abandon the American car because of the old concept - high fuel consumption, Cadillac XT6 is a medium and large SUV, fuel economy is the focus at the moment, so how to perform is expected. To know that the current XT6 series standard 2.0T engine + 48V mixing system, and then match the 9AT gearbox, enough to meet the low fuel consumption requirements in the urban road conditions, and the performance is not bad, after all, it has a maximum power of 174kW and a maximum torque of 350N·m, the official 100 km acceleration is 8.65-8.8 seconds, and the measured results are almost the same. As for the comprehensive fuel consumption, the short test result is about 10L, but it is necessary to add No. 95 fuel, otherwise the economy will be further advanced.
Summary: If you have a budget of 400,000 yuan, and want luxury brands and multiple seats, cadillac XT6 is indeed the best choice, because it has the advantage of competing products at the same price. At the same time, the performance of the configuration is not bad, enough to meet your travel for various purposes, the only slot point may be that the power is not strong, but the good news is that its fuel consumption control is in the same optimal range, which is enough for home use, so the XT6 is a recommended SUV model.
