As the Mercedes-Benz A-class sedan version on the market has also been more than a year, is currently in the terminal market, there have been about 2.5 million in concessions about none other. Today, Ash will select the two vehicles close to 2 MSRP price segment models configured contrast, take a look at who’s more cost-effective.
23-24 million price segment
at 23-24 million price segment, Mercedes-Benz sports car A180 MSRP lower by nearly 10,000 yuan, but its performance is not balanced configuration, although panoramic sunroof, full LCD instrument looks quite a sense of quality, automatic parking into place is also a technology configuration, but not even this model are not equipped with electrically adjustable seats, headlight halogen light source is also used. In contrast, keyless entry, remote start function, OTA upgrade, the main power-adjustable driver’s seat, temperature zone control, the car PM2.5 filtration devices are Cadillac CT4 advantage.
at 23-24 million price segment, higher Cadillac CT4 configuration utility, taking into account the advantage of its power output, Ash also recommend purchase Cadillac CT4.
260,000 yuan price segment
came to 260,000 yuan price segment, MSRP two models differ by only about 1,000 yuan. In addition to the panoramic sunroof, double screen interiors, ambient lighting, other configurations Mercedes-Benz A-class compared Cadillac CT4 still no advantage. Therefore to MSRP, the 26 million price segment, Ash is still recommended to buy Cadillac more CT4.
we can see by comparing the Cadillac CT4 and Mercedes A-Class today: If one of MSRP, more cost-effective Cadillac CT4 will, while Mercedes-Benz A-san car version of the price factor has a greater premium brand. But alsoDo not forget, Mercedes-Benz A-class sedan version of the terminal there are about 2.5 million in concessions none other, which make it cost-effective has improved, Cadillac CT4 just listed have yet to offer information. So for Cadillac CT4 optimistic consumers are concerned, Ash also suggested waiting to see for some time, and so it appears none other concessions too late to start again.
Of course, cost aside aside, today’s competition, although these two cars are the entry-luxury brand models, but there is a big difference in their “character.” If you pay more attention to performance or the pursuit of a sense of space science and technology in the interior, the Mercedes-Benz A-class sedan version will not let you down.
