The competition in the automotive market is increasingly fierce, and the luxury brand that has always been high has to fight the price, and the BBA that is unable to play by the brand will attract consumers. BBA is still in this, the second-line luxury brand that is not hard enough can only increase efforts. These second-line luxury brands of products often have mechanical specifications compared to BBA, and the price is more powerful. Cadillac CT4 is such a affordable second-line luxury brand model, which has been hoped by Cadillac. Deluxe brand B-class sedan, bare car prices to explore 200,000, is it still selling?
Cadillac CT4 big playing card, matching a 2.0T turbocharger engine that can output 237 horsepower, matches an 8-speed manual transmission, The specifications of the power assembly are quite high. CT4 is a driving form of the front rear drive is one of the cheapest rear-drive motion vehicles in 200,000. Look at the entry-level models of BBA, Mercedes-Benz A-grade is a 1.3T turbocharged engine with double clutch gearbox, Audi A3L is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine with a double clutch transmission, BMW 1 Series It is a 1.5T three-cylinder engine with a double clutch gearbox, which is enough to see Cadillac sincerity.
The size of Cadillac CT4 continues the power assembly, the size of the medium-sized car is more than those of the compact cars of BBA. Big. The long-width height of Cadillac CT4 is 4760/1815 / 1421mm, and the wheelbase is 2775mm; the long-range Mercedes-Benz A level is 4622/1796 / 1454mm, the wheelbase is 2789mm.
So how do this model low price?
Slightly lack of luxury:
Dedicated to interior materials, Cadillac CT4 is completely relied on luxurious positioning, and the large-scale fine cortex has a good touch. It’s just a matter of matching, and the texture of the interior is not an outstanding, can’t see the work of luxury brands.
The space is less than:
Don’t see the Cadillac CT4 has a good three-dimensional size, but the interior space of this model is not it is good. First of all, the layout of the front-driven prior to the CT4 allows it to have a long head, the longitudinal space in the car is smaller than the horned model, and the opening of the back door is also relatively small. Secondly, it is not a wide head space. The height of 1421mm is not excellent, and 175 friends will easily go. In addition to the comfortable rear seats, the lack of the huge protrusions of the back row, the lack of central headrest also seriously affects the comfort of the rear row of central passengers.
Movement positioning is relatively small:
Cadillac CT4 almost all settings are served in sports and control It is a model of a mainstream, handling. The audience of this sports car is not wide, and the encounter of the sports car is not good: “Drifting Artifact” Toyota has already stopped production, and Maztea Atz’s sales refurbished, even BMW 3 Series The car of the driver in the past is also developed in the direction of comfort. Restricted to the positioning of such a niche, CT4 sales are also expected.
The price reduction amplitude is not high:
CT4 probably 30,000 yuan in the terminal market, for Cadillac brand It is not high. Look at the price reduction of the next part, the Audi A3L just listed, there is a discount of 30,000 yuan, and the long-range Mercedes-Benz A-level offer is as long as 140,000 yuan.
CT5 present:
To know that Cadillac has a higher-end CT5, this The positioning of the vehicle type movement is basically consistent with CT4. Since CT5 has a relatively large discount, the price of both CT4 and CT5 is not too much, then consumers have hesitated between the two.
The size of the CT5 is more powerful, and the length and width height is 4924/1883 / 1453mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2947mm. The size is very close to those standard axes. The large cars are in the distance. CT5’s space is more than CT4, and the ride comfort is higher.
Summary:
Everyone does not have much demand for this type of height, and is not practical. Compare the position of the other. Very close to the price of CT5 also makes the CT4 have very embarrassing, and everyone is higher for CT5’s acceptance. Under the stack of all kinds of reasons, the attraction of CT4 is generally.
