Next, image-based form, accompany your appreciation about this upcoming new car.

SAIC-GM heritage always a very interesting approach, whenever a new car appeared, designers will be invited to, to tell you about their ideas. I myself am very fond of. Compared with the public relations staff of diplomatic discourse technicians often very down to earth.

this is no exception. Designers for the first time show us the design of the manuscript.

As can be seen from a lot of design, they impart positioning CT5 is a strong sense of movement. When

that slightly exaggerated look, as early as 15 years ago, my first test drive Cadillac CTS, it is etched in my mind. Although the new car in front of restraint, but the headlights and fastback styling, still shows its eager side.

This change is good or bad, depending on each person only aesthetic. From the rational point of view, the new car’s design, seems to be more people to accept, rather than a small group.

car length, width and height respectively 4924times; 1883times; 1453 mm, 2947 mm wheelbase.

highlight of the body side, wherein the line. Almost straight waist, straight tail lamp from the headlight. In contrast, the roof decline since the B-pillar, an outline almost car demeanor.

body in the shape of the C-pillar trim, not only is very characteristic, and looked very elegant.

1-shaped taillights old, broken line are replaced by rear lights. Short trunk, I am afraid will make people mistakenly think that this is a hatchback. Of course, it did not affected the space, which will be introduced later. Furthermore, dual exhaust pipes looks very nice.

a personal point of view, I think the design of the rear is more commendable. The roof down to the trunk, the blend harmoniously with the rear. It looks crisp and agile.

above the raised trunk doors, to effect movement of the vehicle, by a lot of points.

Other details: The car is equipped with dual sunroof, i.e., front and rear, each with a sunroof.

The car is equipped with Michelin tires, specifications for the tread 4 competing relaxation. This is a pursuit of handling performance passenger car tire, the performance curve and wetland performance are great. According to reports, CT5 respectively equipped with 245/45 R18 and 245/40 ZR19 tires in two sizes. The latter is a high-speed tires, speed rating of up to 300 km / h.

lights mdash; mdash; is still very personal.

15 years ago, into the country’s first Cadillac CTS, headlight shape like knifed ax, highly personalized. 15 years after this CT5, in terms of lights is still very personal.

It is divided into two headlights, different. All the way to a glance in the past, I know Cadillac.

taillights broken line, there are two LED strips.

bis design mdash; mdash; and Edition fashion sports version.

Recently, several Cadillac cars have launched a dual design, called a fashion version, a sports version.

The so-called double appearance, in fact, the difference is not great, the place most recognizable, is different in network modeling.

In addition to the network, the steering wheel also CT5 into two kinds of processing, some of the more solid Sport steering wheel, paddle shifter instead of metal material.

There are also differences in the seat. Fashion leather version is monochrome, two-color Sport leather.

Interior mdash; mdash; fine, stable atmosphere.

GM’s cars in recent years has been very popular ring-shaped interior. CT5 into thisLine a certain degree of modification, only overlook, or to see the ring.

positive look at the past, the mind immediately emerge out of two adjectives: stable atmosphere.

to be get in the car, has emerged out of three adjectives: fine.

For example, the interior material is mainly composed of four kinds, the deep, shallow (wood veneer), the shallower.

of the door trim, the front portion of the vehicle exactly.

As GM’s cars are provided with several soft bag + French double stitches, naturally not absent.

In the United States Department of the car, Cadillac has always been known for American-style luxury. In my personal understanding, this luxurious one is big, second, enough style, Third, we must have sufficient scientific and technological content and technological sense.

Take the scientific and technological content, various driver assistance, not only getting higher and higher versions, operating design is also very user-friendly. Do not read the instructions, according to the icon, all of a sudden to get started.

dashboard instrument is a mechanical pointer mode in combination with the liquid crystal panel. Among them, the LCD screen is divided into 4.2 inches and 8 inches two kinds.

and a height position control liquid crystal panel, in consideration of the line of sight of the driver is determined, and easy to observe.

below it, is mechanically sound and air-conditioning operation key. While providing a touch screen and physical keys, no doubt a very humane act.

Further down, a five key security-related operations, and a mobile wireless charging position.

intermediate front, left Dangba electronic central control panel with operation keys, a right cup holder, with a cover.

Dangba small, actually consists of leather, the highlight, paint, 3 kinds of materials.

Dangba later, is an operation key in the control panel and shortcuts. Compared with the finger on the screen paddling, this operation key is actually more convenient.

the final surface, the center armrest is leather wrapped.

The following central armrest, a storage box, built-in power, mobile phones and the placement site.

space mdash; mdash; backdoor open really big magnitude.

Front 1420 mm wide, 1010 mm roof from the seat, the seat depth of 480 mm. Driver seat height is adjustable, a range of about 80 mm.

1415 mm wide rear, a roof 890 mm from the seat, the seat depth of 495 mm.

is a functional design center armrest, the front end of a cup holder, a rear storage box.

After the discharge outlet to the power supply

, naturally not missing. But no independent rear air conditioning, somewhat unexpected.

The maximum highlight space is that it is very large opening of the back door, the door and the vehicle body approximately perpendicular to 10.7 mm, that is to say, out of the carriage is very convenient.

Although it is a midsize luxury sedan, and the practicalityIt does not shrink mdash; mdash; it may be segmented folding rear seatback.

After folding back the maximum depth of 1,940 mm. The move for the family, is important.

just said, the car’s styling is a fastback roof, but the design of the trunk doors, and sedans no different.

space, trunk depth of 980 mm, a minimum width of 950 mm, the minimum height of 490 mm. Under the trunk floor to grid and tool storage box, no spare tire.

detail, the stroke movement of the doors and strut have carried the parcel. In fact, 10 years ago, mid-size sedan, most of them true. But in recent years, some cars began with simple, we all pay attention to the place, more and more simplified.

Dynamic mdash; mdash; specific power up to 0.082 kilowatts / kg.

with the same trunk cover, the cover unit also did not sloppy, dual hydraulic rod, cotton insulation, not a lack.

2.0T four-cylinder engine mounted on the vehicle, to meet the emission standards six countries, the maximum power of 172 kilowatts, the maximum torque of 350 Nm middot; m, 10-speed manual transmission matching .

rear-wheel drive car and probably a selling point. Compared with the previous drive, the rear-drive fun to drive, can not be replaced. According to reports, the car front and rear axle configuration of 50:50, along with its specific power up to 0.082 kilowatts / kg, presumably in the control, there will be a big bright spot.

In the United States Department of the car, Cadillac has always been exquisite, luxury reflexes. In our local market, its status not as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, but its technical content and price, reputation. Compared with the CTS 15 years ago,CT5 obviously mature, more refined, more luxurious. Mercedes-Benz C, BMW 3, Audi A4L rival’s knowledge, have been met.
