Recently, SAIC-GM officially announced that the official drop of 100,000 yuan for all Cadillac XT5 models will start at 252,700 yuan. In addition, there is also the benefit of halving the purchase tax, and the actual preferential range has exceeded 110,000 yuan. It has to be said that whether it is in the field of new energy or fuel vehicles, price reduction is the main theme of this year's auto market.

You must know that the current generation of Cadillac XT5 models on sale has not been replaced for eight years. However, some time ago, the declaration picture of the new Cadillac XT5 was exposed, which also means that it is about to usher in a new generation of models. It is reported that the new generation Cadillac XT5 will be launched as soon as May this year.

So, for consumers considering the Cadillac XT5, should they wait for the new or buy the old? Today, let's take a look at what has changed in the new model? Is it worth the wait?

From the perspective of appearance, the new car retains the classic hidden grille and diamond-cut shape on the current XT5, and adopts the latest split headlight cluster design of the Cadillac family, which is in line with the new CT6, which also improves the fashion atmosphere of the entire front face a lot. In contrast, the styling design of the old model is still very playable, and it has a large and tough feeling of an American car.

In terms of interior, the information of the new model has not been disclosed for the time being, but it is likely to adopt GM's latest design, equipped with a 33-inch 9K large screen, and upgraded in the intelligent cockpit. In contrast, the interior design of the current model is relatively "mature", after all, it was a product of many years ago. The small-size central control screen, non-full LCD instruments, etc., are somewhat "out of touch" with the current mainstream design.

However, the current Cadillac XT5 has a rich configuration, with panoramic sunroof, active grille, active noise cancellation, BOSE audio and other configurations as standard. For consumers who are not sensitive to electronic configuration, the daily functions are basically enough.

In terms of power, the current model is equipped with a mild hybrid system composed of a 2.0T engine + 48V motor, which can provide a maximum power of 174 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, matched with a 9AT gearbox, and the power is relatively strong. According to the public information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the new generation XT5 will still be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a model of LXH, with a maximum power of 230 horsepower, and the transmission is matched with a 9AT gearbox, and two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions are available, with little change.

Overall, the new XT5 will feature a new generation of styling, such as slender daytime running lights, vertically arranged headlights, and the iconic center grille. At the same time, both the body and wheelbase have increased, but not by much. The power part is still 2.0T, and the parameters may be slightly adjusted.

As for waiting for the new or buying the old, radish and cabbage have their own love. Jiang Ge believes that the current Cadillac XT5 is more stable, and the "three major pieces" are basically consistent with the new model, and the biggest attraction is that the discount range is amazing.
