The CT4 under Bitauto's original Cadillac brand is a model that everyone is familiar with. From the perspective of product strength, it is very popular among young people due to its good luxury influence, low price, strong appearance design and high configuration. . Now, in order to further segment the market, a 1.5T model has also been launched. The car was officially launched on November 28, with a total of 4 models launched, with a price range of 219,700-259,700 yuan. As an annual facelift model, the design of the new car has little change from the old model, with the main addition of the 1.5T model. So among the 4 models launched, which one is more worth buying?
Introduction to model highlights
As a new version of the model, the Cadillac CT4 1.5T model does not have many changes in design from the 2.0T model. The headlights still continue the family-style iconic design and have strong recognition. The tail is equipped with a duck tail design, which improves the overall sports effect, and the tail mark is replaced with 25T. In addition, a V-sport package is also available, which includes a sports grille, sports wheels, blackened taillights, and a spoiler.
In terms of body size, it is somewhat different from the slender bodies of CT5 and CT6. The design of CT4 is more compact and neat, giving people a relatively pure feeling. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4760/1815/1421mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2775mm. In terms of tires, the 1.5T model uses Continental Premium Contact 6 tires, size 225/45 R17.
There are no changes in the interior. It also uses an 8-inch touch screen and is embedded with the Cadillac CUE mobile Internet experience system. It has voice control, navigation, NFC mobile phone quick connection, Apple CarPlay/Baidu CarLife mobile phone interconnection, OTA remote upgrade, Remote control start, OnStar 4G LTE and other functions. It is also equipped with ANC active noise reduction and muting technology.
In terms of configuration, all new cars are equipped with automatic dual-zone air conditioning, keyless start, automatic parking, electric sunroof, electric adjustment/heating of exterior rear mirrors, and cruise control. In addition, high-end models are also equipped with 14-speaker Bose Premium series audio, and are also provided with reversing imaging, interior ambient lighting, lane keeping, side blind zone assist, and leather seats.
In terms of power, in addition to continuing to provide 2.0T engines, there is also a new option of the eighth-generation Ecotec family 1.5T engine. This 1.5T engine is actually no stranger to us. It has been installed on Buick Vallan Pro, Valiant, Chevrolet Star Milo and other models. The difference is that this time it is designed for a rear-drive platform. Its maximum power is 155kW, with a maximum torque of 270N·m, matched with an 8-speed manual transmission, and the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7.9 seconds.
Car body color design
In terms of body color, the 2023 Cadillac CT4 has 6 body color options, namely Le Mans Orange, Interstellar Blue, Manhattan Gray, Maya Black, Pearl White and Cyber Red. Among them, the interstellar blue color is only available on the fashion model, and Le Mans orange is the exclusive color of the V sports package. Judging from the color design, most of them are more individual and bright colors, which I believe will be favored by many young people.
In terms of tires, the new car is available in 17-inch and 18-inch sizes. Except for the top model, which is equipped with 18-inch rims, the rest are all equipped with 17-inch rims. The 17 wheel rim styles are basically the same, only the V-shaped sports package rims are blackened for a cooler effect.
In terms of interiors, there are currently 4 interior options. The lowest-end 1.5T fashion model offers black/satin beige and sandalwood black options; the 1.5T luxury model and 2.0T luxury model offer sandalwood black, black/cinnamon brown options. The top-of-the-line 2.0T premium model has an exclusive "berry" interior color.
Configuration analysis of each vehicle type
The 25T Fashion model is the entry-level model of the entire series, and it is also the cheapest. The price is very attractive among entry-level luxury cars. From the perspective of configuration, it is not a model that lowers the price, but has rich configurations. For example, all series are equipped with LED headlights, automatic headlights, automatic air conditioning, rear parking radar, keyless entry, automatic parking, electric sunroof, electric adjustment/heating of exterior mirrors, leather steering wheel, 8-inch central control screen, Configurations such as cruise control and electric adjustment of the main driver's seat. Moreover, the number of airbags is the same as that of the top model, and the basic configuration is very complete. In addition, there are not many embarrassing designs in appearance. For those who are on a tight budget and prefer rear-wheel drive, this car is very cost-effective.
As the second-lowest model, the 25T luxury model is 12,000 yuan more expensive than the 25T fashion model, mainly due to improvements in technology configuration. Merging assist, lane keeping, front parking radar, reversing imaging, leather seats, electric adjustment of the passenger seat, BOSE audio, interior ambient lighting and rain-sensing wipers have been added. At the same time, you can also choose the V sports package for 5,000 yuan. Relatively speaking, if you like to play modifications or like a more personalized appearance, then this configuration is worth considering. However, from the perspective of practicality, many technological configurations are relatively useless. If you add optional equipment, it will cost 17,000 yuan, which is obviously not as cost-effective as the entry-level model.
The 28T luxury model is 20,000 yuan more expensive than the 25T luxury model. As a 2.0T entry-level model, compared with the 25T luxury model, except for the 2.0T power and the added front seat heating function, the other configurations are the same. . If we look at the guide price, this priceNot very recommended. However, judging from the price reductions of Bitauto's Shanghai dealers, the 28T model has a greater discount than the 25T model, generally reaching 40,000 yuan. In other words, there is not much difference between the landing prices of the 28T model and the 25T model. Although the appearance of the 25T is more attractive due to the V sports package, I think if you can buy the 2.0T version, the performance will definitely be better than the 1.5T power, and it is worthy of the title of luxury.
The last model is the top model of the entire series. The 28T premium model is unique in many details. It is equipped with exclusive 18-inch wheels, V sports package, sports-style seats, electric memory function for the driver's seat, memory for the exterior rearview mirror/automatic flip-down when reversing, and other functions. The overall configuration has not been significantly improved. Fortunately, the price is only 8,000 yuan more expensive, which is acceptable. In addition, because it includes the optional sports package, the appearance is more stylish than the 28T luxury model, and it is also worth considering.
Full text summary: Taken together, the price span between the four models is not very large, and it is not difficult to make a judgment based on the budget. If you are looking for practicality, have an average budget, and like to try new things, then the entry-level 1.5T fashion model is a good choice. There are no obvious shortcomings in terms of price, design, and configuration, and it is very friendly to young people. Although the 1.5T luxury model can meet your needs for exterior modifications, it has a small displacement and is a bit flashy. It is better to buy the 28T luxury model with a similar price. However, considering that the price of this configuration is relatively close to that of the top configuration, it is better to choose the top configuration 28T premium model in one step. It can not only satisfy your pursuit of power, but also has many exclusive configurations to enjoy.
