The threshold for luxury cars is getting lower and lower now. Even BBAs have a terminal discount price similar to second-tier luxury brands. In the luxury intermediate car segment, competition is also fierce. Therefore, in this issue, we will introduce several luxury intermediate cars with a price of more than 250,000 yuan, with sufficient power and good control. You can basically not make mistakes if you buy it.
The first station is Cadillac CT5.
is one of the most representative luxury mid-level cars in the 250,000-300,000-300,000 yuan, and the strength of CT5 is very balanced in all aspects, which has also steadily increased its sales, and it sold 7,631 units last month. The starting price of 279,700 yuan is not high, with a terminal discount of more than 40,000 yuan. The recommended model 2021 28T luxury standard version has a guide price of 294,700 yuan, and the actual reference price is over 250,000 yuan. Personally, I think the appearance of
CT5 is very successful, and the overall feeling is relatively small and exquisite. The diamond-shaped center grille on the front of the car, coupled with the highly recognizable daytime running lights, looks very imposing. The length of 4924 mm, the width of 1883 mm, and the wheelbase of 2947 mm are definitely at the upper level in the intermediate car, so the space is completely free. The passenger, who is 1.77 meters tall, sat in the second row, had three fingers in the head and two fists on his legs. However, due to the power layout of the front-mounted rear-wheel drive, the middle platform of the rear row is very large, and the legs of the passengers sitting in the middle must be spread apart, which has a slight impact on the full load.
Even for mid-to-low-end models, the CT5 configuration is relatively generous. It is equipped with active brakes, forward collision warning, front and rear parking radar, leather seats and leather steering wheel, front seats are heated and ventilated, and speakers with 9 speakers. With active noise reduction and front multi-layer soundproof glass , it is definitely the best in the same price range in terms of comfort.
power, it is equipped with a 2.0T engine code-named LSY with variable valve management technology, with a maximum horsepower of 37 horses, a peak torque of 350 Nm, and is matched with a 10AT gearbox. This set of power can achieve a 100-year record of 7.3 seconds, and can be done in one go at the start and speed up and overtaking. If you give a little fuel, the power will be continuous, which makes people feel confident on the highway. The 10AT gearbox is smooth and reliable. Even if you are on the road to stop and stop in the city, there is basically no sense of jerks, and the steering wheel is accurate and there is no empty position, so it is still very fun to drive. Of course, the fuel consumption of CT5 is slightly higher. The actual measurement of the car owner is about 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers. It is easy to run eleven or twelve sections on congested roads. It is relatively cheap on the highway, basically about 7.
Next, let’s talk about the very popular models of Audi A4L.
Although the overall competitiveness of A4L is not as good as that of 3 Series and C-class, and sales are largely obtained through price reduction, if placed in second-tier luxury brands, A4L is definitely one of the best. The starting price of 321,800 yuan is a bit high, with a terminal discount of more than 60,000 yuan. The recommended model is 2021 40TFSI fashionable and dynamic, which is the entry-level version, with a guide price of 321,800 yuan. The actual reference price after the discount is also more than 250,000 yuan.
Relatively speaking, the appearance of A4L does not make people shine, and the overall design is fashionable and reveals stability. The irregular hexagonal center grille and sharp LED headlights also add some sportiness to the whole vehicle. The length of the 4858mm is relatively average, and the wheelbase of 2908mm is not advantageous, but the actual space is not inferior to the CT5. Passengers of 1.77 meters sit in the second row, with about four fingers in their head space and more than two punches on their legs, which is more than enough for daily use.
However, the seats of the A4L are relatively hard, and the rear angle is a bit straight, especially in the middle position, which is not suitable for long-term rides, and the comfort is not very interesting. Moreover, the entry-level model has a bit shabby configuration. There is no air outlet in the rear seat, the front seat has no heating and ventilation functions, the material is just imitation leather, and there is no keyless entry, and there is almost no active safety configuration. After all, it is a BBA model. If you want to have a high configuration, it will definitely exceed 300,000 yuan.
As for power, the A4L is equipped with a 2.0T low-power engine with a maximum horsepower of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 320 Nm, and is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.This set of power is much weaker than the CT5, with a 000 acceleration score of only 8.2 seconds, but the fuel consumption is low. The actual measured average of 100 kilometers is about 9.3 liters. Even for daily household transportation, it is within an acceptable range. It’s a bit of a pity that the dual-clutch transmission has a significant sense of jerk when shifting gears at low speed, which affects the driving experience.
Finally, let’s talk about a younger model, Lincoln Z, also from the American luxury brand.
Although Lincoln Z is average in sales, it has very strong strength. The starting price of 252,800 yuan is relatively low, and the terminal has a discount of more than 10,000 yuan. Recommended for the 2021 facelifted iCool Exclusive Edition, with a guide price of 269,800 yuan, and the actual reference price after the discount is also more than 250,000 yuan.
Compared with CT5 and A4L, the appearance of Lincoln Z is obviously sharper and more dynamic, and even has the flavor of a new energy vehicle. The new shape of the front of the car is eye-catching. There is a through-type light strip inside the center grille, connecting the headlight group and logo together, which is very recognizable when lit. There is a coupe style on the side of the car body. After all, the length of the car reaches 4982 mm and the wheelbase is 2930 mm, so the space performance is similar to that of the CT5. The rear leg space is spacious, and the head is a little cramped due to the sloping back design.
Of course, the comfort of American luxury cars has always been an advantage, and so is Lincoln Z. It is equipped with active noise reduction and multi-layer soundproof glass, which makes it very quiet when you sit in the car. With the soft and wide seats, it is not easy to get tired even if you drive for a long time on the highway. However, it is a bit regrettable that the front McPherson suspension is still almost worth a luxury car that costs more than 250,000 yuan. If it is powered by
, it is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine, with a maximum horsepower of 246 horsepower, a peak torque of 376 Nm, and is matched with an 8AT gearbox. This set of power is undoubtedly very strong at the same price. The acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 6.8 seconds. As long as you are willing to give oil, you can feel a strong sense of pushing back whether it is the front, middle or rear. Of course, while the power is strong, the fuel consumption will definitely not be low. The actual measurement average of 100 kilometers is around 10.5 liters, and there is nothing we can do about this. After all, the power and fuel consumption are relative, and it is impossible to save fuel and run fast.
Comment: The three luxury intermediate cars on are not only cost-effective, but also very strong. Although the A4L is a BBA model, the discount of nearly 60,000 at the terminal is relatively rare in its class. The American luxury cars Lincoln Z and CT5 are priced reasonably, especially the CT5, which is very strong in all aspects and is more than enough for home use. So, who do you think is more conscientious about these three units?
