Not everyone will buy a first-line luxury car, and the BBA performs well in brand appeal and retention rate, but there are too many people who buy it, which is less attractive for many people who pay attention to personalization. Coupled with the high premium of first-line luxury cars, many models like Mercedes-Benz BMW in third- and fourth-tier small cities have basically no price reduction. I picked up the car at the same time as my friend, I mentioned a Cadillac XT5 2022 2.0T four-wheel drive luxury, and the friend mentioned the Volvo XC60 2022 B5 four-wheel drive Zhiyi Sport Edition, the naked car price of the two cars is counted as the terminal discount is within 330,000, when I drive the Cadillac XT5, and then change to my friend's Volvo XC60, the gap is obvious!
First look at the appearance, in fact, the appearance difference between the two cars is still quite large, the overall feeling is that the Volvo XC60 is lighter and more agile, and the Cadillac XT5 is more thick and calm, in line with the visual sense of the American muscle car. Both cars in the front part of the car are family-style, and the front of the Cadillac looks wider, and the front grille is more metallic. The Volvo XC60's front-end recognition aura is slightly weaker, but the "Quake" headlights reverse this slight disadvantage. Both cars use Michelin tires, the tire size is 235mm wide, 18 inches in diameter, in addition to the appearance there is not much worth mentioning, the overall decent, open also can drive out, but there are not many highlights.
After entering the car, the material difference between the two cars began to reflect, the environmental protection materials selected for the interior of the Volvo XC60 made the interior of the car basically odorless, the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard + 9-inch embedded LCD central control screen is a more personalized vertical screen shape, the steering wheel grip of the square rudder is also good, and the leather wrapping in the car is still comfortable. The interior design of cadillac XT5 is more retro, and it looks a bit old-fashioned, and the car is filled with a large area of leather material, the shape is simple, and the stacking material is sufficient. The central control screen is only 8 inches, coupled with the horizontal screen design, visually it looks smaller. At least in the luxury car sequence, the cadillac XT5's central control screen is on the small side.
Volvo is an L2-level intelligent driver assistance system that supports full-speed adaptive cruise, comes standard with GPS navigation, connected vehicles and OTA upgrades, and supports voice recognition control systems. The biggest highlight of this car's configuration is Volvo's own City Safety system, which Volvo has invested a lot of money in research and development, and the use of the experience is quite good. Although the Cadillac XT5 is L1 level intelligent assisted driving, it has more abundant hardware configuration in other aspects, supporting steering wheel shifting, remote start, active noise reduction, mobile phone Interconnection, Wi-Fi hotspot, and equipped with 8 speaker BOSE audio, the front row uses multi-layer soundproof glass, and there are negative ion generators and PM2.5 filters in the car, which are cadillac XT5 has, while Volvo XC60 does not have the configuration.
Volvo XC60 body size 4708 * 1902 * 1658mm, wheelbase 2865mm, using front-mounted full-time four-wheel drive drive, chassis for double wishbone independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension combination, using a multi-piece clutch type central differential. The Cadillac XT5 body size is 4813 * 1903 * 1682mm, wheelbase 2857mm, for the front timely four-wheel drive drive, the front axle for The McPherson type independent suspension, the rear axle for multi-link independent suspension, but also a multi-piece clutch. The engines of both cars are horizontal platforms, which is a small disadvantage in more than 300,000 luxury cars, but it is not very obvious to drive yourself. Of course, I know that the vertical platform is definitely better, but it is true that I don't have much driving experience, so I won't feel it so clearly.
The Volvo XC60 is powered by a 2.0T turbo engine with a maximum power of 184 kW, horsepower of 250 Ps and a maximum torque of 350 N·m, matching the Aisin 8AT gearbox. It accelerates from 7.1 seconds to 100 km/h and consumes 7.3 L/100 km of fuel. The Cadillac XT5 is also equipped with a 2.0T turbo engine, with a maximum power of 174KW, horsepower of 237Ps, and a maximum torque of 350N.m, matching the universal 9AT gearbox. Zero hundred accelerated in 8.3 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption was 7.97L 100 kilometers. Both vehicles are equipped with a 48V light mix system to optimize the vehicle's powertrain and improve fuel economy and smoothness. The XC60 Aisin transmission is better at smoothness, but the cadillac XT5's engine has Tripower variable valve management technology, which switches 2-, 4- and 4-cylinder high-performance modes depending on the driving conditions, making the engine technically more advantageous.
Summary: The gap between the two cars is still very obvious, in the case of close prices, there is a big difference in the positioning and stacking direction of the two cars. It's hard to elaborate on where this difference is, but after comparing it, you will clearly know that these two cars are not the same thing at all, which one do you prefer?
