As we all know, the share of the domestic luxury car market has always been firmly dominated by BBA, and there are undoubtedly few places where other second-tier luxury cars can grab. Taking luxury mid-size cars as an example, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4L and BMW 3 Series are hard to shake, and their monthly sales are basically in the top three in this field. However, in addition to the aforementioned "troika", there is another force in this segment that cannot be ignored, and that is the Cadillac CT5.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to describe the CT5 as a "muffled and profitable", because it has always sold very well in the market. In October this year, the Cadillac CT5 sold 10,238 new cars, and the achievement of breaking 10,000 units also left other second-tier luxury products behind, after all, the Volvo S60 only sold 1,530 units in October. And in November this year, CT5 sold another 8,037 new cars, and the popularity is still quite high.
As a luxury sports B-class car, CT5 is inevitably compared with the BMW 3 Series, but aside from the factor of brand influence, CT5's performance is excellent, after all, it is indeed more advantageous in terms of cost performance.
Let's talk about space first, the body size of the Cadillac CT5 is 4924/1883/1453mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2947mm, while the BMW 3 Series provides two different data, of which the length, width and height of the long wheelbase version are 4838/1827/1454mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2961mm. In this comparison, the CT5 has an advantage in length and width, while the 3 Series long wheelbase version is superior in wheelbase. However, it should be said that the price of the long wheelbase version of the BMW 3 Series is more than 320,000 yuan, while the ordinary version of the model is cheaper, but its length, width and height are 4728/1827/1452mm, and the wheelbase is only 2851mm, which is actually not comparable to CT5 in terms of body length and wheelbase.
As for the power, the Cadillac CT5 is equipped with a 2.0T engine and a 10AT gearbox, with a maximum torque of 350Nm and a maximum output of 174kW, while the BMW 3 Series is equipped with a 2.0T+8AT, with a maximum torque of 400Nm and a maximum output of 180kW, but the price of this version of the model exceeds 380,000. The low-power version, on the other hand, has a maximum torque of only 250Nm and a maximum output of 115kW, which is significantly weaker than the CT5. It is worth mentioning that because the gearbox is a more advanced 10AT than the same level, the Cadillac CT5 is in one go whether it is slow driving or high-speed cruising state, and the rapid response and smooth shifting are the advantages of this powertrain.
It is worth noting that the mid-term facelift CT5 is also officially launched. Its exterior and interior will adopt the latest family design style, such as the new car will be replaced with the latest design style of the GM family, equipped with a 33-inch 9K surround screen super retina curved screen, AKG audio system and 126-color ambient lighting, the car system also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interconnection, and there are also new upgrades in intelligent driving, with lane centering assist, automatic parking assist, and full-speed adaptive cruise. With such an upgrade, the starting price of the facelifted CT5 is 289,700 yuan, which is the same as the current model.
Of course, the arrival of the new Cadillac CT5 also means that the current models on sale will have good discounts. The same is true of the information queried from the owner's home, at present, Cadillac CT5 has a total of 5 models on sale in the country, and the terminal discount has reached 80,000 yuan, which means that the lowest price of the reference naked car of CT5 has dropped to about 200,000 yuan. You know, Cadillac CT5 is a luxury B-class car, and such a price has coincided with many high-end models of joint venture B-class cars, how can CT5 not be fragrant in comparison? If you are not so persistent in the new car, it is undoubtedly a very good choice to copy the old CT5 now.
Write at the end
Generally speaking, Cadillac CT5 can be regarded as both internal and external, and the overall performance is not inferior to competing products of the same type, and even the performance in terms of space and power is remarkable, plus its discount margin is not small, so it is not groundless that sales have soared. However, the blind price reduction of all models will always be labeled as "low value retention rate" and other bad labels, but for young people, at this price can buy a very powerful, good space, beautiful luxury car, is not a kind of "spend a little money to do big things" choice?
