Recently, at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, the Cadillac IQ Aoge model was officially unveiled and listed, with an official guide price of 239,700 yuan, which is indeed a lot cheaper than Ruige, but in exchange for a significant reduction in the overall platform technology configuration, to be honest, the general set of front-wheel drive Aoteneng platform technology is really low in terms of three-electric configuration, and it does not keep up with the trend of the times, Buick E5 has dropped to 169,900 yuan, but it can't find too many faults, but Aoge fine decoration is 70,000 yuan higher, frankly speaking, if the original price is sold, I am afraid it is not very good.
In terms of appearance, the new car is, of course, a beautiful and fashionable Cadillac family design, much more handsome than the E5, the inverted trapezoidal large-mouth grille leads to the T-shaped headlights, the longitudinal lamp bead light strip is the same as Ruige, the front bumper part of the three-section hollow decoration is not absent, and the size is larger, more in line with the identity of the traditional SUV. The side of the body continues the overall line of Ruige. But it's also a bit thicker, with a slightly dropped roof, a floating layout, contrasting bodywork, and hidden door handles and framed doors that come standard on this platform.
Thick black accents have been added to the side skirts to enhance the overall sense of style. The special grid-like detail at the C-pillar also forms a distinct family character, as well as the upper and lower split taillight layouts, but there have been a number of recent models with similar designs, and they are not as impressive as when Ruige appeared. The roof has a large spoiler, and the tail lid has a cocked rear wing, which is combined with the diamond-cut overall layout, which looks sharp and stylish.
The body measurements reached 4822/1912/1644 mm, and the wheelbase was 2954 mm, which is basically the same as the E5, showing the identity of the same platform model. In the interior part, of course, the new car is also an iconic family style, through the floating large screen LCD screen, a whole screen has an excellent sense of science and technology, the center console is relatively straight, emphasizing the luxury feeling, the color contrast process interior color matching high-grade material coverage, the wrap-around center console and other elements will not be absent, the front area of the armrest box is an open storage compartment, cup holders and exquisite knob shift mechanism are also standard for the whole system, enhancing the avant-garde attributes. Other elements such as AKG's audio, mobile phone wireless charging panel, steering wheel heating, front seat ventilation and heating are also equipped, after all, it is also a luxury model, in line with the spirit it should be.
In terms of power, it is relatively bland, with a maximum power of 245 horsepower front single motor, 68.4 kWh lithium battery pack, pure electric mileage CLTC working condition of 536 km, no matter which parameter is placed at a price of 240,000 yuan, it is not competitive, the high-end model is equipped with front and rear motors, but the power is only 287 horsepower, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers does not even dare to be announced, because it is really not good-looking, with 80 kWh lithium battery pack, pure electric mileage of 600 kilometers, not to mention compared with domestic cars at the same price, it is the benchmark model that has been the target of the publicity strategy Y can't compare. So to be reasonable, Cadillac should still recognize the situation and pull down the price through discounts in the future in order to have a good sales. We can only wait and see how it will perform.
