on the evening of september 28, cadillac's probably most important new car this year was officially launched. i believe everyone has guessed it, it is the new generation xt5. i was there when it was first unveiled at the chengdu auto show. there were literally three levels of people watching the car, and most of the people who got into the car spoke highly of its interior technology. very high, and i’ve basically never heard anyone say anything bad about its front and rear seats.

so this is a very important car. as it is almost the most popular model in cadillac's entire car series, the importance of this car is self-evident. the price of the new car was announced at the press conference, the new generation xt5 the guide price range is 265,900-335,900 yuan. as a replacement after many years, many of the product capabilities of the new generation xt5 will directly determine people's understanding of american luxury brands for quite some time in the future.

the appearance size of the new generation xt5 has been significantly improved compared to the previous generation. the size of the new car is 4888*1957*1694mm, and the wheelbase is 2863mm. in terms of power, all series are equipped with the same 48v light hybrid + 2.0t engine combination. the engine model is lxh, with a maximum horsepower of 237 horsepower and a 9at gearbox. this powertrain has been used in many new cadillac vehicles and has a good reputation in terms of power delivery, fuel consumption, and quietness.

moreover, this lxh engine also supports cylinder deactivation, which can close the cylinder according to the working conditions. with the help of the 48v light hybrid system, the new generation xt5 power system can achieve a fuel consumption of 8.23l per 100 kilometers under wltc working conditions. this data is quite excellent for the new-generation xt5, a medium-sized suv.

although the four-wheel drive of the xt5 is a timely four-wheel drive system, not full-time four-wheel drive, in extreme usage scenarios such as winter in the north, or very slippery roads after heavy rain, there are four-wheel drive and no four-wheel drive. the difference is huge. therefore, whether it is from practicality or active safety, all four-wheel drive is a great configuration.

in fact, there are many models that can become popular models in terms of product strength, but we will say that the new generation xt5 is almost certain to be the new popular car in the 300,000-class luxury suv market. this is actually a very objective evaluation. because at this price point, the new car's competitive advantage is indeed quite obvious compared with its opponents.

who are the main competitors of the xt5? of course, they are the three most popular suvs from bba, namely the "three big mountains" of bmw x3, audi q5l and mercedes-benz glc. compared with these three, xt5 not only has obvious advantages in price, but also has advantages in size and configuration, and more importantly, as a brand new car, xt5 has the advantage of being a latecomer compared to the three bba cars. of. and when it comes to product strength, the new generation xt5 has obvious competitive advantages compared to bba in all these aspects, whether it is the technology-rich cockpit, more comfortable seats and better nvh.

you may see this and say that cadillac's brand power is not enough to shake bba's "status in the world." having said that, even compared with competitors such as volvo with similar brand power, the new xt5 has an advantage in product power. very big. it can be said that in the luxury mid-size fuel suv market, the new generation xt5, which has just completed its replacement, is one of the most worthy models to choose at the moment.

in fact, we can say that the new generation xt5 may be the most technologically advanced mass-market model in cadillac's history. this can be seen in many of its configurations, such as its 33-inch 9k resolution curved screen. you must know that the cost of this screen cannot be lowered. it also has an anc active noise reduction system. this system first shined on the ct6. it uses the headrest speakers to output sound waves that are opposite to external noise, achieving noise reduction performance similar to active noise reduction headphones. this is one of cadillac’s black technologies.

the l2 level intelligent driving system naturally does not need to be said much, but there is a small detail here that is very interesting. the seats of the new generation xt5 integrate a safety vibration reminder function. we have experienced this function on cadillac's pure electric high-end models. when the vehicle deviates from the lane, not only will there be sound and dashboard prompts, not only will the steering wheel give you a small righting torque to remind you, but even the seats will it will vibrate on both sides to remind you that you have strayed from the lane. this is actually a good reminder for distracted driving.

to put it simply, many configurations on the new generation xt5 are actually only seen on higher-end cadillac models. in the face of such product strength, we have enough reasons to believe that the new generation xt5 will definitely become an absolute hot model in the mid-size luxury fuel suv market.
