Holding the steering wheel of Cadillac CT4, I have a "familiar freshness".

Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5 can be combined into a "rear-drive double team". CT4 and CT5 are both built on a new generation of lightweight luxury rear-wheel drive platform, but the overall size of CT4 is more compact, plus the front The rear-wheel drive layout makes the body posture more agile. ?

Cadillac CT4 adopts a family-style design style. The exterior design adopts a large number of sporty design elements, emphasizing sharpness, movement, and giving the vehicle a high degree of recognition, interpreting the brand of "art and technology" philosophy.

The exquisite layout of short front overhang and long rear overhang has the proportions and posture of a typical "front-wheel-drive" sports car. The black honeycomb-shaped grille is inspired by the Cadillac V-series high-performance cars. It is equipped with 18-inch obsidian aluminum alloy wheels, which is very stylish.

The Cadillac CT4 is 4760mm long. Based on this body, its wheelbase can still reach 2775mm. Although space is not the focus of CT4, it is definitely enough space for couples, friends, etc. to travel together.

You will find that fun and easy driving are the biggest selling points of the Cadillac CT4.

Different from the previous experience on the street, this time we came to the royal racing track, spent enough time to experience it, and unlocked the drifting "stunt" of CT4:

Let’s talk about power first. This 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine 8AT: maximum horsepower 174kw, peak output 350Nm, is far ahead in the same level.

For reference, competing products such as BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class have high and low power, and the high-power version is not as high as the Cadillac CT4: From the power aspect, this car really surprised us . The intense driving on the track laid a good foundation.

Secondly, this car is really easy to use. The confidence comes from the chassis and tuning. We have put a lot of effort into lightweighting the suspension: for example, the front suspension is not an ordinary MacPherson, but a double-ball joint multi-link structure. , and a large number of applications of aluminum alloy lower swing arms, steering knuckles, etc. In addition, it can be fast and retractable!

The E-Boost electronic power-assisted braking system significantly enhances the braking feel and improves braking performance.

Same as CT5: Cadillac CT4 has multiple driving modes to choose from: sport, comfort, anti-slip My?Mode driving mode.

Especially the My? Mode driving mode is helpful for personal style driving, such as allowing the driver to personalize the engine sound, braking, steering wheel damping, etc.

The performance shifting function is hidden. During intense driving, Cadillac CT4 can automatically sense and switch to the "performance shifting mode" to maintain high speed and low gear.

We rate CT4’s track performance very highly. It is not difficult to start drifting, and the front of the car is extremely willing to cooperate, responding to the front and rear, and its movements are agile. The more you drive, the more excited you are, and the body posture is better than we imagined. Even better!

Drifting is fun. Maybe for ordinary car owners, it is difficult to have such venue conditions and driving skills to have such "crazy fun", but it is true that through such shooting, you can test the true capabilities of CT4, which is also the future. Great potential for driving.

CT4 is a rear-wheel drive car, but it is not just a rear-wheel drive car.

For example, it is the only rear-wheel-drive layout in its class, and the entire series is equipped with 2.0T 8AT as standard. It has strong output, is as fun to drive as any rival, and is less burdensome.

In terms of applicable people, CT4’s compact body is very suitable for female users. It is understood that since its launch, female users account for about 40% of CT4 car owners, and the huge new female population accounts for almost half of the sky, which shows that it is very popular among women...

In addition, it can of course capture a group of Male users who have high requirements for driving pleasure can say that they take both inside and outside.
