From the point of view of product power, Cadillac XT5 has basically been remodeled since it was launched in 2016, so the appearance has not changed much, the overall youth and sportiness, the front face is still in the shield shape of the net, and the classic tear gland headlights are on both sides, but the lower part is a layered design. The side looks thick and stocky, and the lower window line and waistline are in a swooping posture, creating a sporty stance. At the rear, the XT5 is instantly recognizable with high-mounted brake lights, two chrome trim strips and a classic inverted trapezoidal license plate frame.
As a classic model under the traditional luxury brand, the Cadillac XT5 is still in place in the creation of a sense of luxury, using a lot of soft materials and high-grade leather, wood, chrome materials are also used. But in terms of science and technology, XT5 only uses an 8-inch central control screen, and the full LCD instrument is only available in the top models, and ordinary models are traditional dashboards.

From the 20~300,000 level, there are many new energy models to choose from, comfortable, luxurious and not inferior to Cadillac, intelligent and even better, in addition, the author guesses that XT5 may usher in an update in the near future, after all, its technology configuration is completely inferior to CT5, the product force needs to be upgraded, as for the current current or wait for the new car, mainly depends on their own needs, after all, the new model is likely to be listed without such a big discount, and the current model is actually very good comprehensive strength, the focus is on high cost performance.
