In the past, the luxury sports car has been manipulated for the design of the core. However, the huge Chinese market success for all luxury brands lesson, proved unable to move pure sports car in China, will therefore, in the new BMW 3 Series, we see that sense of comfort and luxury compromise becomes more balanced, but still luxurious sports, for a time, the new 3 Series limelight without the two. However, in the November 18 listing of Cadillac CT5 it seems to have a different opinion.
compared to BMW, the GM should know better China market, more people are familiar with the hobbies. Moreover, the ATS-L and other models, Cadillac outstanding performance in sports performance is obvious to all. We can say that the arrival of Cadillac CT5, directly challenge the new BMW 3 Series, it can be described as both go hand in hand. Here, we might as well let the two models to make a comparison, select Cadillac CT5 28T leading sports and the BMW 3 Series 325i Sport package, take a look at how both behave.
[123 ] both with luxury brands, has its own unique design language family, but in two models, both of which they were made for their family language with varying degrees of adjustment and bias. BMW 3 Series has a larger body size than the older models, but also more aggressive design, more aggressive lines and more rounded curvature of the design of the vehicle so that the muscles become stronger sense can be said that in the new 3 Series upgrade in appearance is obvious.
Unlike upgraded BMW 3 Series, Cadillac CT5 design will more freshness, and in a large area of the grid-like grille, headlamps under sharper styling and a more distinct angular design, Cadillac CT5 will be more murderous. But also from more vertical lines of the longitudinal Concept Cadillac CT5Sense to be better than the BMW 3 Series, in other words, looks more atmospheric. But what Which is more attractive, but it is still beauty in the eye, it all depends on personal preference.
If we say that we have emphasized the appearance of all sports, go to car, two cars and coincidentally began to emphasize its luxury properties. In the overall design, the interior of the BMW 3 Series is more close to X3 / X5 interior design, the overall simplicity and relatively young. Department standard LCD instrument panel worthy of praise, but the selected materials in the interior, personally think that aluminum metallic trim somewhat lacking in quality, optional decorative wood will be more a sense of luxury.
Cadillac interior design tends to traditional, belongs to the BMW 3 Series different directions. Overall, a sense of luxury Cadillac CT5 will be stronger, because the cortex covered a large area on the door, and the central control office also were using carbon fiber trim panels, the materials will be significantly better than the BMW 3 Series. But there is one that a traditional mechanical style dashboard Although there is no sense of violation and may be somewhat lacking in technological sense.
[123 ] Cadillac CT5 body size 4924 * 1883 * 1453mm, wheelbase 2947mm; BMW 3 Series body size 4719 * 1827 * 1459mm, wheelbase 2851mm. From the size perspective, Cadillac CT5 performance is undoubtedly better, but in fact almost the same in both practical experience in. More except that the Cadillac CT5 seat design using mixed colors, but preferably encapsulated quite satisfactory softness; BMW 3 and the seating system is adopted solid design, better softness. The former is more focused on the parcel while driving, while the latter tend more home comfort.
It is worth mentioning that, in the performance of the storage space, as compared to older models BMW 3 hardly increased, and the rear seat chairs can not be brought down, and therefore have a discount on your home property. The Cadillac of CT5 have more, wider storage space, the rear seat support and scale down, space flexibility BMW 3 Series more advantages than the.
on the
configuration, it is both showed different orientations. First, two cars as a luxury brand of effective models in the standard configuration has reached the mainstream level, which does not require too much repeat. In the configuration difference, to compare models, for example, in an automatic parking system BMW 3, the liquid crystal instrument panel, seat memory driving position, the steering headlight, the leading rear independent air conditioning and PM2.5 filtering configuration. Cadillac CT5 extra configuration is active brakes, keyless entry, remote start, steering wheel shift, the ANC active noise reduction, leather seats, heated front seats, car network, the front acoustic glass configuration.
it is clear that the BMW 3 Series more emphasis on science and technology configuration, but in a lot of basic configuration, such as keyless entry, remote start and so on have been neglected configuration. In contrast, although there is not much of Cadillac CT5 technology configuration, but more practical, and steering wheel shift also added to make driving more dense atmosphere.
power, the BMW 325i equipped with 2.0T engine, the match is ZF 8AT gearbox, maximum horsepower 184PS , maximum torque of 300Nm. After administration weight Cadillac drive platform to build the entire system is mounted CT5 2.0T engine provided with a variable cylinder technology, the match is 10AT gearbox, maximum horsepower 241Ps, maximum torque of 350Nm. It can be seen on the dynamic performance, Cadillac CT5 stronger than the BMW 3 Series, at the price of similar cases, Cadillac CT5 can provide more pure sports performance.
but on Driving, in fact, both the performance is very good, very good demonstration of their sports style. From experience, the BMW 3 Series has become more comfortable, smooth and responsive power is still outstanding. In the corners, the vehicle is still able to feel the direct feedback, with the precise steering feel, vehicle no trace of dragging its feet, so that drivers are very easy to use. The only pity is that it may place an electronic flavor becomes thicker, less heaviness in the past, which is also the new BMW 3 Series locate home about.
with the BMW 3 series different, Cadillac CT5 have different tune school. On a single chassis, it can clearly feel the Cadillac CT5 is considering a chassis supporting more than comfortable damping models, which makes it able to keep a good body posture in the corners, on different roads in have given the driver a clearer driver feedback, easier to control during aggressive driving, giving the overall sense of movement is more pure. Furthermore, addition of the electronic suspension system, also allows good Cadillac CT5 home and two motion conversion properties, to meet the different needs of users.
Generally speaking, two cars are the current representative for the mid-sized luxury sports models, from the overall performance on to say, both have very athletic and atmospheric design, interior design and materials in line with their positioning and identity. But if it is from the direction of motion, Cadillac CT5 appearance has a stronger freshness and power systems and more kind, can make it easier for consumers to enjoy the pure sports performance.
However, if the return home, to space, the two comparable in fact, become more comfortable in the BMW 3 Series is also home to a well-balanced properties, but consumers may need to compromise on power in the absence of sufficient budget. In contrast, Cadillac has an electronic suspension system can be well allowed in the home and transportWalk between moving, make it easier for consumers to enjoy a variety of car experience.
