In the past August, Cadillac has been adjusted for many of its models, including a super assisted driving version newly added to the Cadillac CT5 lineup. As the name suggests, Cadillac added its Super Cruise super assisted driving system to the configuration list of Cadillac CT5, which is the second domestic Cadillac to obtain this system after the 2021 Cadillac CT6 that has been discontinued. In fact, in addition to this assisted driving system, from November last year to August this year, Cadillac CT5 has completed several specific style modifications or configuration adjustments. So, do these adjustments make it more worth buying? Let’s take a look together below.
Cadillac CT5 actually entered the domestic end, its visual style has been different from the previous Cadillac sedan . Without using the large-sized air intake grille of German and Japanese, Cadillac CT5 puts the visual center of gravity on the flow guide structure. The exaggerated flow guide holes penetrate left and right through the lower grille, while some of the flow guide grooves of the daytime running lights are continued at both ends, and the actual air hole area will be larger than that of the main grille.
Of course, the mid-to-low-end versions we see are visually different from the two top-end platinum versions. The latter will replace the main grille and the center grille in the diversion slot with an all-black honeycomb shape, and add a black front lip spoiler to the edge of the front bumper; at the same time, the side will also cover all-black wheels and sports side skirts, while the small-size independent rear wing and the same-color sports guard plate as the body will appear on the tail, and even the four-piston brake calipers made by Brembo, Michelin PS4 series high-performance sports tires, etc. will be added to the Cadillac CT5 options.
In terms of size, the Cadillac CT5 is outstanding in the mid-size sedan market. Its 4924x1883x1445mm (medium and low-end height is 1453mm) and the 2947mm wheelbase have advantages when compared with Audi A4L.
Take the back seat as an example. The 179cm-height tester conducted a ride test, leaving only a gap of less than 3 fingers in the head space in the rear row, while the allowance between the legs and the front seat is only 1 fist left. Of course, from the feedback in the dynamics, the somatosensory feedback of other seats and the quietness in the cabin are worthy of the luxurious identity. When the
Cadillac CT5 suspended touch screen is only 10.0 inches, its air outlet, air conditioning, assisted driving functions and other consoles are all built according to a shield-shaped structure that echoes the brand logo. You can tell at a glance that this is a Cadillac.
Cadillac CT5's touch screen and its corresponding 4G network support are standard for the entire series, and can be equipped with a 12.0-inch full LCD instrument panel, HUD head-up display and streaming media rearview mirror. Although the low-end interconnection functions are mainly implemented through the Internet of Vehicles and CarPlay/CarLife, the medium and high-end interconnection will cover mainstream functions such as real-time road conditions navigation, intelligent voice interaction, remote vehicle control, etc. More importantly, the addition of Super Cruise will bring a centimeter-level Gaode High Precision Map module, which will not only be used in the process of super cruise driving, but also make navigation and vehicle-road collaboration better.
After all, Super Cruise is still a system built up with more perception hardware. 5 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 6 mm wave radars can even be compared with the electrified Mercedes-Benz EQE. With the L2-level assisted driving, it can complete high-level intelligent functions such as multi-directional automatic parking, automatic lane change assistance, brake lane change assistance, etc., plus 8 airbags, passive pedestrian protection, active braking and other safety configurations, the comprehensive safety of the Cadillac CT5 has a high level.
In other configurations, we can also find panoramic images, segmented sunroof, induction tailgate, electric leather steering wheel, wireless charging board, BOSE audio, dual-temperature control air conditioning and other accessories inside and outside the caddy of the Cadillac CT5. The seats have top-end sports leather seats, and Alcantara suede can be selected. The front row realizes a series of functions including leg support/waist support/heating/ventilation/massage.
core hardware, the entire Cadillac CT5 series obtained a 2.0T turbocharged engine with the maximum power of 714kW (237Ps) and a maximum torque of 350N·m through the 28T nameplate. Although it cannot match the top four-wheel drive model of BBA in terms of data and acceleration, it can still exceed 100 in 7.3 seconds with a 10AT gearbox.
In the chassis, the double ball spring vibration-absorbing support inside the front axle will be matched with the five-link independent suspension of the rear axle. In addition to some sports accessories mentioned above, it can also be supported by MRC electromagnetic induction suspension and rear axle limited-slip differential. The dynamic operating fun will be close to that of the BMW 3 Series.
