The Cadillac brand, the development of the domestic automobile market in the past two years is quite successful, you must know that in the current situation of the rise of the new power environment, Cadillac models last year sales can achieve growth, it is indeed not easy, especially the Cadillac CT5 car, at the end of last year, at the critical stage of sales, but also able to achieve monthly sales of more than 10,000 results, it is indeed a bit impressive.

However, in this year's market, Cadillac wants to achieve last year's report card, the difficulty has obviously increased, you must know that the BAB luxury brand in the domestic market, in this year's market continues to make concessions, the current BMW 3 series, Audi A4L, Mercedes-Benz C-class overall decline is close to 100,000 yuan, compared with last year, the price sincerity is indeed quite large, in this situation, the pressure is naturally given to the second-tier fuel luxury brand.

The current decline in Cadillac CT5 has reached the level of last year, the entry version came to about 210,000, but the sales volume has continued to decline, in the first week of May is only 950 units sold, this market performance is still relatively cold, it can be said that the current Cadillac CT5 wants to recover sales in the market, must come up with a greater decline, if the new car does not fall below 200,000, it is difficult to return to the previous sales.

Cadillac to understand, now the market is in price reduction, Passat has fallen to more than 130,000 points, if Cadillac does not increase the drop, the situation will be more difficult, from the overall design point of view, the new car still has a very good recognition, the front face of the vehicle is equipped with a larger size of the blackened grille, its headlight group adopts the latest irregular shape, its lower envelope shape has also been redesigned, giving people a strong sense of sport, the overall appearance is still very good.

Compared with the previous generation of models, the interior technology of the new car has indeed improved, but there is still a gap compared with the mainstream, the center console of the new car uses a full LCD instrument panel + central control screen composed of a suspended curved dual screen, the size is up to 33 inches, and the operation is still very simple. As for safety, features such as Rear Cross Traffic Collision Warning, Reverse Side Warning, Merge Assist, Lane Centering, Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control at full speed are standard across the range.

As a middle-level sedan, the body length and width of the new car are 4930x1883x1453mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2947mm. At the same time, the whole system adopts rear-wheel drive, and for the drive shaft, there is a significant bulge in the middle of the rear platform, which limits the space performance of this car to a certain extent.

For the power of this car, the new CT5 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 174KW and a peak torque of 350Nm, and the transmission system is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission. All models are rear-wheel drive, and it is worth noting that the new CT5 Premium and Platinum models come standard with adjustable soft and hard electromagnetic suspension, which has a good adjustment effect when passing through bumpy roads.

Judging from the test drive experience, the acceleration performance of this car at the start and the reaction performance when steering are relatively sensitive, you must know that the handling texture of the rear-drive model is often good, because the grip of its rear wheels is better, and thanks to the combination of the front MacPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension, the driving texture of the vehicle as a whole can still satisfy young consumers.

Written at the end: Cadillac brand, there has been no good improvement in intelligence, although the new generation of models use a screen design, but this style always feels a little awkward, and as a mid-level sedan, its space performance has always been complained about by consumers, you must know that Chinese people buy cars, or pay more attention to the space performance of a car. Of course, from the perspective of dynamic experience, the new car still has a good driving quality, and the handling is not inferior to the German luxury mid-level sedan. Would you pay for this American mid-class car?
