The high-end version of "Buick GL8" is exposed, hanging the Cadillac LOGO, and the sense of luxury exceeds that of Lexus LM
Recently, Cadillac's good news continues, in addition to the GT4 and the new generation CT6 that have just been unveiled, an MPV known as the "Bath Emperor" has also been officially unveiled, in fact, this car is not a new platform to build, but the same platform as GM's GL8, so some media call this car GL8 high-end version. The new car is expected to be fully available around the third quarter of next year, so let's take a look at it first.
The group picture is the fixed makeup photo of this MPV, although it is created on the same platform as the GL8, but the shape is still based on the style of Cadillac. On the front side, we are still familiar with the diamond cutting technology, and the overall sense of power is definitely stronger than GL8 and other series. The family-style center net has hardly changed, the difference is that the built-in black grid elements also ensure the sporty feel of this car, and the adjusted LOGO is more in line with the positioning of the new car. This MPV continues the CT6's split headlights, and together with its front surround, it has a more German brand feel. I don't know if this is a compromise for American cars.
There is no specific size of this car yet, but it should be stronger than GL8 and other series from the renderings. And because the position of the side waist line is higher up, so that the whole sense of power is continued, if you have to find a template, basically aim at Lexus' LM. The entire third window of the new car has been extended, which is still in line with the characteristics of American cars; At the rear, the car is completely retro, with double vertical taillights running almost throughout the entire D-pillar, and its rear surround echoes the front of the car.
Regarding the interior, Cadillac's MPV has also been optimized, and it is likely to be consistent with CT6, that is, the style of the new Escalade that netizens are most looking forward to does not appear on this car, and the picture is a renderings of the new CT6 interior, only for the reference of friends. In terms of details, it is still equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, the display area is a floating LCD instrument + LCD central control integrated curved screen, and the electronic pocket gear shift mechanism is used, which is more luxurious than the Lexus LM model.
In terms of power, according to the information obtained from the front, this car will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, the transmission is a 10-speed manual automatic transmission, and some models may be provided with a four-wheel drive system. In order to adapt to the development of new energy vehicles, Cadillac is also expected to simultaneously launch a pure electric version based on the General Motors Ultium platform, but the specific will not be revealed until the official listing.
