At the end of the year, Cadillac's latest masterpiece was officially launched. On December 29, Cadillac officially announced that the new CT5 ushered in a new lookout, with a total of 4 models and a price range of 2897-34.170,000 yuan. It is understood that the new CT5 has been comprehensively improved in appearance and interior, and a number of intelligent configurations will also be upgraded. In fact, CT5 has been known for its "luxury rear-wheel drive and style choice" from the very beginning, so whether this upgrade can continue to have both luxury and sporty attributes, let's interpret it together.
Design: The perfect fusion of technology and art
Behind the design of the all-new CT5 is the Cadillac brand's unique vision for the future. Inspired by the escala concept, the diamond-cut exterior features a new look with dynamic lines and shapes, while the family-style shield grille has evolved as elegantly as ever.
The new car adopts the newly upgraded luxury V Sport package dual exterior design, the luxury exterior is matched with chrome and metal trim, and the V-shield grille enhances the luxury styleOn this basis, the V Sport Package adds dragon scale grille, V blackened trim, tail lights, and V deflector rear wing, presenting a more sporty and attractive fashion style in the details. In addition, the new CT5 strives to improve air efficiency in every detail to achieve the best balance between function and aesthetics. For this reason, a number of aerodynamic features are integrated into the styling, such as the active grille, which opens and closes autonomously according to the engine temperature and speed, ensuring that the engine is always at the optimum temperature and airflow, while reducing fuel consumption.
Cadillac's iconic in-line quantum matrix headlamps are also available on the all-new CT5, which not only inherits the brand's classic design, but also incorporates the latest technology to enhance the lighting effect. The LED daytime running lights and flowing water turn signal functions work together with the light language effect to add a sense of ceremony and three-dimensionality to the front of the car. In my opinion, although it is only a headlight group, it is a brand logo and a tribute to the art of light and shadow.
Cadillac has always been key to creating a sporty atmosphere, especially in the all-new CT5, where the class-leading 4930 1883 1445 mm body length, width and height ratio create a 50:50** body ratio. The roofline is designed not only for aesthetics, but also to reduce wind resistance. This design reflects Cadillac's meticulous attention to detail to provide the driver with an outstanding driving experience.
The rear of the all-new CT5 continues to follow the family's diamond-cut design style, with LED flying wing taillights, "ducktail" on the trunk and a double-sided exhaust design, all of which further highlight the sporty elements. As a result, the all-new CT5 will attract attention whether it is parked on the side of the road or driven on the road. In addition, it can be seen through the official picture that the new CT5 will add two paint colors, including Night Purple and Barley Gold, to meet the aesthetic preferences of more young consumers.
Interior: A feast for the senses of luxury
As soon as you step into the cabin of the all-new CT5, you'll be blown away by the design that blends futuristic technology with traditional luxury. The newly upgraded luxury yacht smart cabin not only pays homage to the curved surround instrument panel design first adopted by Cadillac in 1971, but also brings yacht-like comfort to the interior. Carefully selected materials, master craftsmanship and stylish colour palettes create a luxurious cabin that is pleasing to the eye.
Among the interior upgrades, the most notable is that the all-new CT5 takes the combination of technology and luxury to the extreme. The interior of the whole series of models is upgraded to standard luxury yacht smart cabin, which is composed of a 33-inch 9K surround screen super retina curved screen + 8155 on-board chip combination, and the curved screen adopts automotive-grade glass-based mini-LED partition backlight technology, achieving an ultra-high contrast ratio of 100,000:1, and the native 10bit color depth display ability presents a very realistic visual effect, plus a full-color HUD flight display, a streaming ** rear view, an intelligent voice assistant, Wireless charging of mobile phones and abundant on-board APPs support OTA upgrades of the whole vehicle, realizing the integration of technology and intelligence.
Coupled with the AKG studio-grade audio system with 16 high-performance speakers, it brings an immersive experience to the occupants, and the ANC active noise cancellation is standard in all series, creating an excellent luxury atmosphere in the quiet and comfortable. In addition, the all-new CT5 is also equipped with 126-color ambient lighting for the first time, creating a more comfortable and luxurious driving environment, and showing the new American style in every detail of the new car.
Power: The perfect combination of superior performance and efficient power
The performance of power performance has always been what Cadillac is good at. The all-new CT5 features industry-leading Smart Propulsion technologyThe 0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine and the 10-speed automatic manual transmission work together to achieve 7While accelerating to 100 kilometers in 3 seconds, the fuel consumption is as low as 7 per 100 kilometers51 litres for a balance of performance and fuel economy. This is not enough, the new CT5 with the inheritance of luxury rear-wheel drive genes is equipped with a unique "supercar-level four-piece set" in the same class, with MRC magnetic levitation suspension + MLSD mechanical limited-slip differential + Michelin PS4S high-performance tires + customized high-performance Brembo braking system, whether it is driving stability, handling dexterity, strong grip and 33Excellent braking performance at 08 meters for pure driving pleasure.
Relying on a 360° safety detection system composed of 5 high-definition cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and 4 millimeter-wave radars, the new CT5 adds all-round safety protection with 20 intelligent safety functions. In particular, the newly added "Touch Fish Mode" realizes the automatic keeping of the vehicle in the center of the lane and the cruise function by upgrading the standard FSRACC full-speed domain adaptive cruise control and HOLCA intelligent lane centering assist function, which greatly reduces the driving fatigue caused by long-term driving, and makes driving the new CT5 a safe and enjoyable experience.
Write at the end
In the first half of this year, Cadillac brought three upgraded fuel models, and at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November, the IQ pure electric model led by the IQ Ruige standard endurance version continued to expand. With the launch of the all-new CT5, this series of "actions" fully demonstrates the Cadillac brand's focus on domestic luxury travel needs, and draws a perfect end to 2023.
It is worth mentioning that the CT5 has achieved sales of more than 10,000 units for two consecutive months.
