The traditional luxury car market has been in turmoil in recent times. With the strong impact of domestic mid-to-high-end new energy vehicles and Tesla, many traditional luxury brands can only choose between sales and profits. Previously, BMW announced its withdrawal from the price war, and its sales in July collapsed immediately. Many second- and third-tier luxury brands can only continue to maintain substantial price cuts.

In the luxury mid-size sedan market, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4L are the first choice for many people. However, the terminal discounts of these models have shrunk recently, and the cost performance has "shrunk". In this context, some second-tier luxury mid-size cars are worth a look, such as this Cadillac CT5.

Cadillac CT5 is a US luxury mid-size sedan. The length of this car reaches 4930mm, which is much longer than "3, 4, C". The manufacturer's suggested price of CT5 is 289,700-341,700 yuan. At present, many stores have terminal discounts of about 80,000 yuan. But this is not the end. The latest bare car price for car owners we saw on the car portal website has dropped to a little over 180,000 yuan, from a starting price of nearly 290,000 yuan to a little over 180,000 yuan. The discount is not small.

The Cadillac CT5 is a luxury mid-size sedan with a strong overall design. The exterior of the car uses many large-angle corners and lines, which makes it look sharp. The iconic Cadillac front face and headlights have also been adapted to this car, making it look more "smart". The side view has a rearward center of gravity, and the overall streamline is very stretched. The trunk lid is also designed with a small ducktail, which makes the overall visual appearance of the car very young.

The biggest change in the interior of the new Cadillac CT5 compared to previous models is the introduction of a 33-inch dual screen, which integrates the LCD instrument and the central control screen. The screen resolution reaches 9K and supports the flying screen operation of related content. At the same time, this car still retains Cadillac's iconic electronic gear lever and two exquisite central control knobs, one large and one small. The sense of technology in the front cabin is not very strong, but it is indeed much better than the old model, and the interior covering of the new model is still very conscientious, with a lot of leather and soft materials used.

Cadillac has always been very sincere in terms of power. The entire CT5 series is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine with a maximum horsepower of 237Ps and a peak torque of 350N·m. It is matched with a 10-speed manual transmission and has an acceleration time of 7.3 seconds per 100 kilometers. The manufacturer's WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 7.51L-7.78L. Among luxury cars of this level, it takes into account both performance and fuel consumption.

The Cadillac CT5 is equipped with a front double ball joint MacPherson and rear five-link independent suspension, and adopts a rear-wheel drive structure. The vehicle weighs less than 1.7 tons. The top and second-top models are also equipped with electromagnetic suspension, Brembo brakes and rear axle limited slip differential locks, supporting soft and hard adjustment! The CT5 is a model with very good overall handling performance. Its own performance is relatively excellent. Coupled with the structural advantages of the rear-wheel drive structure and chassis suspension, this car is very fun to drive in the traditional sense. Compared with first-tier luxury brand mid-size cars such as 3, 4, and C, this car is more driver-friendly. Of course, it also performs well in terms of comfort, but the handling performance is not so outstanding.

In terms of configuration, the entire Cadillac CT5 series is equipped with L2 driving assistance system, and the top and second top models also support automatic parking. At the same time, this car is also equipped with matrix headlights, adaptive high and low beam headlights, segmented sunroof, front multi-layer soundproof glass, voice recognition control, 8155 chip, 4G network connection, active noise reduction, leather steering wheel, 15W mobile phone wireless charging, leather seats, electric adjustment of the main and auxiliary seats, AKG audio and other configurations and functions, and the overall configuration performance is also very strong.

In summary, compared with the first-tier luxury brand mid-size cars "3, 4, C", the overall performance of Cadillac CT5 is stronger. It has large size, strong power, high configuration and good handling. It is a very comprehensive car. The disadvantage may be that the brand influence is not strong enough, but the cost performance is still quite high when bought and driven.
