The Cadillac XT5 should be the brand's most successful SUV model in China, and its excellent product strength and relatively large market discounts have made it a high popularity among the mid-size SUVs of second-tier luxury brands. However, the XT5 currently on sale has not been updated for many years, and it looks a little greasy both in terms of exterior and interior configuration, but fortunately, a new generation of Cadillac XT5 will be officially launched soon.
Cadillac's new XT5 has a significant change in exterior design style, although the family's classic shield grille and diamond-cut headlights are there, but the details are more sleek, reducing the original large area of chrome decoration, and changing to a black decorative strip, which is the key to a more youthful and sporty overall look. In addition, the shape of the grille and headlights is also closer to the style of its own pure electric models, and the sense of science and technology has been significantly improved.
On the side of the body, the Cadillac XT5 has also changed significantly, with more concise and capable lines, and the front and rear wheel arches and the design of the same color as the body are also more advanced. Of course, the biggest change is the position of the D-pillar, and the large-area decorative panels are indeed more common in the GM Group, which also increases the recognition.
The tail design is more layered, and the taillights on both sides are connected by a glossy black decorative strip, with a black upper spoiler and lower surrounding, and the visual effect is very good. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4888/1957/1694 (1698) mm, and the wheelbase is 2863mm.
The changes in the interior are also very obvious, the new XT5 has been replaced with the latest interior style of the family, although it is a simple and technological style, but it has its own brand characteristics. First of all, the shape of the center console is more capable, and the construction of a variety of materials looks full of luxury, and it also retains the commonly used physical buttons, which is worthy of praise. The layout of the central control island is also relatively simple, and the wireless charging panel for mobile phones is not absent.
Of course, the highlight of the car is the 33-inch 9K large curved screen, and the visual effect is quite shocking. Seat comfort is also a traditional advantage of the XT5, the new style of seats is still wide and thick, and the electric adjustment button is integrated into the door panel, and the functions are also very comprehensive, the front seat heating, ventilation, massage and memory functions, the rear seat heating are all available, and it is also equipped with a wrap-around light strip and AKG brand audio to enhance the atmosphere.
In terms of power, the new generation XT5 will most likely not change much, still equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine + 48V mild hybrid, with a maximum power of 174kW and a maximum torque of 350N·m, matched with a 9-speed manual automatic transmission. At the same time, the power performance and energy consumption are good.
Summary: From the perspective of product updates, the new XT5 is more in line with the preferences of our current domestic users in terms of both interior and exterior appearance and functional configuration, and it can be seen that a lot of market research has been done, which will also become an advantage after it is listed. However, the current luxury mid-size SUV market competition is indeed too fierce, in addition to the traditional luxury brands, domestic new energy has also become a great competitor, which has caused a great test to the pricing of Cadillac XT5, is to be honest with everyone, the introduction of a very attractive price, or set a higher price first, and then step by step to expand the discount, let us wait and see!
