Dimension reduction is the means, and exquisite "big and super" is the soul of Cadillac CT4.

When it comes to Cadillac, many people will think of ATS-L for the first time. The reason why it has attracted much attention is mainly because of the "cabbage price" last year. While many people questioned that the price-for-quantity exchange would damage the brand value, as the most cost-effective rear-drive luxury car, it announced that it would stop production. In April, its successor Cadillac CT4 finally came to everyone.

Last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Cadillac CT5 was listed in advance. I believe many people were deeply impressed by the magical slogan of "no rear drive, no luxury" at that time, but we noticed that the price of CT5 had been loosened before the Spring Festival, and at present, there has been a 10% discount in some places, which is no less popular than the BMW 3 Series listed in the same period last year. The strategy of "dimensionality reduction" is obvious.

As the most entry-level model of Cadillac, Cadillac CT4 is also the sales responsibility of the brand. After listing, it will fight side by side with CT5 in the luxury dynamic and mid-level car market, and compete for the domestic market segment. Through the previous product spoilers, I think its selling point is not limited to "dimensionality reduction" at all.

CT4 adopts Cadillac's latest design language, and has two appearances to choose from, representing luxury and sports style respectively. The black honeycomb grille with shield shape on the front face is inspired by V-series high-performance cars. It is fashionable and radical, and the tearful headlights on both sides are still eye-catching and become slimmer and fiercer.

Body side lines or American muscles. Although it is visually the ratio of long front to short rear, it actually retains the unique 50: 50 body weight of rear drive, aiming at creating original handling performance. The size of CT4 reaches 4760/1815/1mm, with a wheelbase of 2775mm, which is 30mm longer than ATS-L. Even so, its rear space can only be said to be sufficient.

The tail of CT4 is simple and neat, with the duckling tail and chrome plating on both sides, and all kinds of details show that it is a highly playable sports car.

The interior of CT4 also has a family language, which is simple and clear as a whole, including three-position steering wheel, original mechanical instrument, suspended central control panel and neatly arranged function buttons, all of which reflect a strong American style, and the texture of both the panel and the seat is excellent.

Judging from the current information, the configuration of CT4 is very close to that of CT5. For example, it has a variety of driving modes, including tire pressure monitoring, automatic headlights, automatic wipers, constant speed cruise, shift paddles, one-button start, front pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, reversing images, rear air outlets, automatic start and stop, electronic handbrake, automatic parking and other configurations, giving consideration to luxury and technology.

Undoubtedly, the biggest selling point of CT4 is the power system. The whole system adopts 2.0T engine matched with 8AT gearbox, rear-drive system of "it is not luxurious without it" and 50: 50 counterweight. Motion and manipulation are enough for performance fans and modification controllers to yearn for. It is worth mentioning that this 2.0T engine can not only output 237 horsepower, but also its variable cylinder technology is doomed to its excellent fuel consumption performance, which makes up for the shortcomings of the previous ATS-L.

finally

Many young people may not have heard of the word "big rear wheel drive". It was once used by Reiz owners to call their cars, meaning "high-horsepower rear-wheel drive super-running". With the reduction of rear wheel drive, it is less and less used. But when it comes to this, people who really know cars are still hard to hide their love. Therefore, the arrival of Cadillac CT4 is undoubtedly a real fragrance for these people, and it is also an emotional placement while becoming their plaything.

On the other hand, it can be seen from the main red color of CT4 that it hopes to catch more female users. After all, at the moment when the neutral wind prevails, sports and passion are no longer exclusive to men. I don't know what kind of prefix CT4 and female users at that time could add to "Super Super Queen".
