With the year approaching and many luxury brands taking action, it's a better time to buy a car. So, how to choose a budget of about 200,000?After all, buying a car is not the same as buying groceries at the vegetable market, a car can last for five or six years, or it can be used for ten years, so you should be cautious when choosing a car. From the perspective of its stylish appearance, high-tech configuration, abundant power, etc., the editor feels that Cadillac's new XT4 and Audi Q3 deserve more attention.
Avant-garde personality contrasts with homogeneous shapes
A good shape can give users a long face. The two cars have their own stylistic strengths, but they prefer the more personalized, avant-garde Cadillac XT4. Whether it is the unique in-line lightning LED headlights, or the sharp body lines outlined by diamond-cut aesthetics, or even the oversized 20-inch wheels that are as domineering as 300,000 cars, they all attract the attention of passers-by and are very face-to-face. The shape of the Audi Q3 is actually classic, the hexagonal grille with four circles, the recognition is still there, but from the perspective of freshness, it has always been the same It has no advantages, and it is easy to be said to be old-fashioned.
Luxury cockpit versus plastic interior
In terms of interior, Cadillac's new XT4 not only has the ultimate picture quality provided by the 9K resolution 33-inch surround screen super retina screen worth 40,000 yuan, but also has a million-level experience of 14-speaker AKG studio-level hi-fi audio system, and the moving ** brought by the ANC active noise cancellation system. At the same time, it is equipped with Qualcomm's flagship 8155 chip, the smartest AI voice assistant in its class, the most abundant APP applications, and OTA upgrades to keep pace with the times, and the intelligent experience is unparalleled. Of course, we can't forget the winter three-piece set of steering wheel heating, seat heating, and defogging and defrosting, just two words "comfortable".
The Audi Q3 has only a plastic interior and is equipped with a resolution of 1540 720 123-inch LCD gauge +101-inch central control screen;And 10-11 speakers ordinary audio, or an additional 8500 yuan optional Sony advanced audio, the audio-visual experience is a little worse. Equipped with ordinary car-grade chips, optional voice assistant, Internet of Vehicles, 4G, and there is no Cadillac's new XT4 iQiyi, Youku, Himalaya, Kuwo**APP, not to mention OTA upgrades, the intelligent experience is also several layers worse. The bigger slot is that the seat heating is the top configuration, and the weather is so cold, how can ordinary version users get up?
Intelligent power vs. clutch power
In terms of power driving control, the all-new XT4 is equipped with 20T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine, matched with 48V mild hybrid system, breaking 77 seconds, fast start and strong performance. The transmission adopts a 9-speed automatic manual transmission, which is luxurious and standard, silky and smooth, which is the foundation of American luxury. The Audi Q3 is powered by the EA888 20T engine, no mild hybrid power, breaking 100 88 seconds, the performance is a little weaker. The transmission is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, which is the configuration of lower-end vehicles, and there is a frustration in low-speed shifting, and the driving experience needs to be improved.
Overall, Cadillac's all-new XT4 is more of an avant-garde car, while the Audi Q3 is a classic car that is easily recognizable. Cadillac's all-new XT4 is equipped with an intelligent AI voice assistant that can heat the seats and also heat the steering wheel for greater comfort. The Audi Q3 is made of plastic materials and does not have an OTA upgrade function, which is still a gap compared to Cadillac's new XT4.
