What is Cadillac ATS-L?

Hello, I am the owner of Cadillac ATS-L 20 17, and I am glad to answer this question for you.

What is Cadillac ATS-L? Personally, there is no more conscientious car in China.

-

I. Price

ATS-L has five configurations, with the technical model (hereinafter referred to as low allocation) guiding price of 298,800 yuan, the fashion model (hereinafter referred to as low allocation) guiding price of 365,438+0.88 million yuan, the elite model (hereinafter referred to as medium allocation) guiding price of 338,800 yuan, the luxury model (hereinafter referred to as high allocation) guiding price of 368,800 yuan, and the leading model (hereinafter referred to as top allocation)

In other words, the lowest bare car price only needs less than 265,438+0.88 million!

What is this concept? Please see the picture below:

We can see that the minimum configuration of ATS in the United States is around $35,000. Please Baidu RMB (? ) and US dollars ($), you will find that the price is similar, even cheaper in China.

Please see the picture below:

This is the price of BMW 320 in America. In China, the price of 320 is higher than that of ATS, while in the United States (theoretically, local cars should be cheaper), the price of ATS is higher than that of 3 Series!

Second, performance.

Cadillac ATS-L is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, with a power of 205 kw(279 HP, power ÷0.735= HP) and a torque of 400Nm. Even the American ATS has a power of only 203 kw(276 HP) and a torque of 353Nm. It is the only foreign car with stronger domestic power than foreign cars!

This is the engine power, and then we look at the power on the wheels.

Tik Tok has been rumored that ATS-L's engine is original second-order. Is there any real evidence? No real evidence is a rumor!

Just like Alfa Romeo! When I first entered China, I said that Alfa Romeo headlights were 60,000! What is the basis? Rumors are responsible! The fact is that Alfa Romeo's headlight assembly 10000 points, minor maintenance 1600, major maintenance 3700.

The engine of ATS-L 28T is the original first order! 25T engine is the primary power-just like Mercedes-Benz C200 is the primary power and C300 is the primary first order; BMW 320 is the original power, and 330 is the first order of the original factory; Audi A4L 40TFSI is the original power, and 45TFSI is the original first order!

AMG A45, Volvo Polestar, Civic TYPE-R, 2.0T, 300+ horsepower, original third or fourth order? Golf R and Alfa Romeo Giulia280HP are also the original second order?

In terms of gearbox, ATSL gearbox adopts 8-speed automatic manual transmission, numbered 8L45. Recently, the so-called recall has caused a lot of noise. I found that the recalled engines are basically transverse engines-what is the difference between longitudinal engines and transverse engines?

The transverse engine saves space. Generally, front-drive family cars use transverse engines. Some front four-wheel drive models, such as AMG A45, Golf R and Fox RS, also use transverse engines.

Longitudinal engines are generally used in rear-drive vehicles, such as ATS-L, Series 3, Class C, jaguar XE and some performance vehicles, such as AMG C63 and M3, all of which are longitudinal engines!

For example, some people say that ATS-L is a Regal shell changer, and you can totally refute it. ATS-L has longitudinal engine rear drive and Regal has transverse engine front drive. Can you try changing the shell for me?

Therefore, the gearbox used in ATS-L is the gearbox of the rear drive platform.

8L45 can bear the maximum torque of 450 Nm, and 8L90 on ATS-V can bear the maximum torque of 900 Nm. For home use, the 8AT gearbox is enough, and the low gear has a setback; In terms of performance, ATS-L's 8AT is not as good as ZF's 8AT and Mazda's 6AT, but it is much better than many gearboxes that are incapable of performance!

Chassis, ATS-L chassis is the same as BMW. The front two-section McPherson (a completely different chassis from McPherson) and the rear multi-link are independent. Yankee chassis training technology is very strong, Yankee is not good at gearbox, but the chassis can be said to be the best!

In addition to the top fitting, ATS-L adopts 17 inch wheel hub, and it is suggested that it can be replaced with 18 inch forged wheel hub. It's a pity that ATS-L doesn't have MRC except the top. It's troublesome to install it yourself, but it's OK (there are no installers in China at present).

ATS-L comes standard with front Braber brakes, while most cars of the same price are rarely equipped with Braber brakes.

ATS-L is equipped with Xieruide wireless tire pressure monitoring, which is real-time tire pressure monitoring. Unlike many cars, tire pressure monitoring is not real-time, it is very simple, which is beneficial to tire management.

There are four modes on ATS-L, comfort mode (normally open), snow mode (snowy day), sports mode (as the name implies) and hidden mad dog mode.

The best answer recommended by netizens, what is the mad dog model with good motivation? As if I don't understand at all! Mad dog mode is a hidden mode of ATS-L. Generally, cars are called Sport+Mode. This mode needs to start the sports mode first, and it will start automatically after stepping on the accelerator deeply.

Third, the materials used

1, knee airbag is standard, like BMW 3 series, knee airbag is standard abroad, and it is reduced in China, while ATS-L comes standard with knee airbag;

2, the window double glass, as we all know, but PVB Saint-Gobain for this kind of double glass on the 7 series is not standard. The 730 doesn't have this kind of glass, and the 740 is equipped with this kind of glass-it is suggested that the owner must buy glass insurance, and a piece of glass can cover the price of all the window glasses of Audi A6L 50TFSI!

3. The rear windshield is coated with heat reflective glass, and cars of 500,000 to 600,000 grades are not common.

4. Car body, aluminum alloy collision beam with the thinnest single layer thickness of 4MM the day before and the day after. Series 5 (I don't know the old model, I said the new model) is the first 2.2 mm and then 1. 1MM stamped steel. ..

5. The engine hatch cover is made of all-aluminum alloy, and the tower base of the front shock absorber is made of die-casting aluminum alloy, which is integrally die-cast.

6. The adaptive engine bracket can switch four working modes, and the magnesium-aluminum alloy material is 50% lighter than the cast iron material.

7.ATS-L can adjust the inclination angle and toe angle of the front and rear wheels, which supports a good four-wheel positioning data adjustment project.

8, exhaust system, when the car starts, there is insufficient combustion, but ATS-L likes to exhaust black smoke, how ugly! When some luxury cars start cold, two exhaust pipes and one exhaust pipe smoke (some people can try it themselves). Most importantly, many luxury cars will hold back black smoke and emit white smoke, but your ATS-L actually emits black smoke. I don't know how bad your car is!

9. Automatic closing function of China network. This function is automatically turned off when the vehicle speed is fast to reduce wind resistance. If you are the owner, please open the car description you gave when you bought it and look at it again.

10, shock absorption and sound insulation of the car body, using LASD liquid sound insulation pad.

1 1. Use raw cotton as the sound insulation material for the fender liner of the wheel.

12, shark antenna, has the function of communication and releasing static electricity to the sky.

13, hub screws, stainless steel, imported from America, steering wheel (from low to high), imported from America!

Fourth, body shape and weight analysis.

L means longer, ATS-L is 84 mm longer than ATS.

However, ATS-L readjusted the ratio before and after, making it reach the golden ratio of 50:50 again. Not only that, ATS-L also widened the front and rear wheel tracks. The front wheel tread refers to the distance between the first two wheels, and the rear wheel tread refers to the distance between the last two wheels. Many cars are simply lengthened without considering these effects.

Then the weight:

1) Total weight of white body: 372.9? kg？ Includes four doors and two covers, and an unpainted car body with bumper beams.

Weight of body-in-white frame: 289.2kg.

A body in a white bottle opener? Mudguard weight information:

Left? Front door assembly? (both sides? ; ? Without hinge): 32.3kg

Left? Rear door assembly? (both sides? ; ? Without hinge): 25.5kg

Hood? (without hinges)? : 1 1.0? kilogram

Backup door (without hinge): 9.7? kilogram

Left? Fender? (both sides? )? :5.2? kg？

2) Lightweight coefficient of car body:

The report shows that the static torsional stiffness of the car body is 29000 nm/0, which is nearly 10000Nm/ /0 higher than that of the previous generation. According to the report, the improvement of stiffness is mainly through the design of stiffness sensitive positions, including adding a pull rod in the front cabin to improve stiffness, the ring structure at the shotgun, and the ring structure of the wrapping frame and the back seat backrest. The lightweight coefficient of the car is 2.34, which is 37% lower than the previous generation. The reduction of lightweight coefficient is mainly due to the improvement of body stiffness, and the body weight is also lighter than the previous generation 17%.

Body material distribution:

The data shows Cadillac? The proportion of rigid strength steel in ATS white body reaches 64%, while the traditional high strength only reaches? 38%。 Among them, the proportion of ultra-high strength steel reaches 9.8%, which is at the advanced level in the same level. Through the rolling forming process, the cost and manufacturability are realized. Balance of product performance? It is mainly used for beam parts with simple sections such as doorsill and seat crossbeam.

The hot forming amount reaches 5.8%, which is mainly used for B-pillar, A-pillar and middle top beam. What's the consumption of the front floor rail and other parts? There is no bright spot in the application part.

One of the highlights of this car body material is the amount of aluminum alloy, and the application of aluminum alloy is mainly concentrated in the front of the car body, which is also for the more reasonable load distribution of the front and rear axles of the whole car. Hair covers are stamped from aluminum plates. The front section of the longitudinal beam adopts aluminum alloy extrusion profile with variable cross section, mainly to realize the difference of energy absorption between the front and rear ends of the longitudinal beam, so as to make it more? Protect the safety of drivers and passengers. Connect with the rear section of the front longitudinal beam with bolts to provide parts repair. A more convenient solution.

Besides, in shock? Tower? The (shock absorber bracket) is made of die-casting aluminum alloy, which integrates 15 parts into a whole to improve the? The rigidity of the car body, and reduce the weight of 40%. This technology is commonly used in Land Rover and BMW? X5 and other luxury cars.

Body connection:

As a steel body, the connection of body-in-white is mainly spot welding, and arc welding, adhesive bonding, riveting, laser welding and tapping screw connection technologies are also applied to a certain extent. The application of laser welding technology has reached about 5.6m, and the bonding has reached 109m, effectively improving? Stiffness of the car body. At the same time, the roof of ATS adopts laser welding process to improve? Stiffness of the car body? Anti-corrosion performance, this scheme is on Volkswagen models? It's very common, but it's the first time that American models have been adopted. The following table lists the connection technology of body in white.

Connection technology? Number of connection points or connections? Equivalent number of solder joints/calculation basis

Welding point? 6 18 1? 6 18 1 1: 1

Arc welding 4.7m? 23520? Hmm? =? 1? Word-superiority effect word superiority effect

Traditional brazing 3.6m? 18020? Hmm? =? 1? Word-superiority effect word superiority effect

The domestic operation of verb (verb) ATS-L

Selling ATS-L in 4S stores doesn't make money at all, it just points to the manufacturer's rebate. However, the 4S shop earns 7000 yuan by selling an XT5, and the manufacturer returns to the store, but the materials, chassis and technology of XT5 are not as good as ATSL at all.

It can be said that there are two general platforms, the horizontal engine front platform of family cars, including Chevrolet of Korea (domestic joint venture Chevrolet is Daewoo Bus Exchange of Korea), Buick, Cadillac XTS, XT4 and XT5, and the vertical engine rear drive platform, including ATS-L, CTS, CT6, Camaro and Corvette.

Many quality accidents occur on the engine platform. It would be ridiculous to confuse horizontal and vertical.

For example, Lexus, the real Lexus catered to the tastes of Americans at the beginning of its establishment, with front and rear drive and large displacement. The real Lexus is a vertical engine platform, such as Lexus IS, Lexus gs and lexus rc. Lexus later introduced es, nx and other cars. In fact, this car is a Toyota horizontal engine platform, just a shell-changing car. The domestic es200 is a special car for China and Russia, because there is no such car abroad.

ATS-L is undoubtedly the key to the road to China. Although the sales volume of ATS-L is not the best, ATS-L is indeed one of the two cars with the best reputation (the other is CT6)-it can be seen that the horizontal engine platform is mainly for making money, and the vertical engine platform is mainly for making reputation.

Sixth, the shortcomings of ATS-L.

1, the price is cheap, it is impossible for anyone to install it13-there are always some people in China who are unhappy when the price is cheap-if he is a car owner or a used car dealer, it is normal to be unhappy. The owner, who bought his expensive car before, is now cheaper. Of course, the second-hand car dealer is unwilling. As a truth, when new cars are reduced in price, used cars have to be reduced in price-but

2, hanging hard-for performance, it is an advantage, for home use, it is a disadvantage, if you want to use home, then the price is similar, why not buy XTS?

3, high fuel consumption-this can't be done, high fuel consumption is high fuel consumption, and there are shortcomings that must be admitted;

4. The gearbox can't compare with ZF8AT and mazda 6 AT-this must be admitted, but it must be explained that the 8AT gearbox of Cadillac ATS-L is better than many family cars in performance. BMW can say that ATS-L's gearbox is not good, not to mention other family front-wheel drive! Unqualified!

5, poor human-computer interaction, unless I don't care, it's really uncomfortable and my eyesight is not good. The central control design and the front row design are really poor, and the storage space is really small! So the central control panel can be designed to be open?

6. The space in the back row is small. It can be said that the size looks larger than the BMW standard axis, but it is actually not more spacious than the human space;

7, the steering wheel design deviation, it is said that this is the chief designer to consider XXX deliberately, I go to your uncle's chief designer! You think too much!

8, expensive maintenance-maintenance is not expensive, but expensive maintenance, because the materials are too good. For example, if your glass is broken, you will find that the price of a piece of glass can be comparable to that of A6L top glass! Your tire pressure monitoring is really good, but you have to change it after 10 years, and your shark fin replacement price is much more expensive than BMW's shark fin! Anyway, ATS-L's maintenance cost is much higher because of its superior materials!

Seven, the owner's personality analysis

ATS-L has 90% male car owners.

Series 3, Class C, A4L, etc. Their owners may be women or curved, but Cadillac owners are basically straight men like steel!

There are more female SUV owners in Cadillac, and the female owners who buy Cadillac are often stronger. Of course, male Cadillac owners cannot form a family with female Cadillac owners! Because families need to complement each other, not find a shadow!

abstract

Note that Cadillac ATS-L is not a linear acceleration car. In the same class, its linear acceleration is not as good as that of BMW 330i and quattro's Audi A4L, but the cornering performance of ATS-L is the best in the same class (excluding the 86 sports car).

ATS, which used to be 6AT, competed with BMW 328i at the New Taipei Circuit. ATS lost to 328i in 0.7 seconds, but ATS abused 328i in the corner, and it was in the New North of Germany at that time, so I won't talk about it specifically.

Modification scheme of ATS-L, such as appearance modification, tail wing, exhaust, MRC, wheel hub, tire, etc. There is no need to make much changes to the engine. Overall, it is a very good car!

At present, there are seven models of four-door medium-sized rear-drive coupes in China, namely mercedes benz c Class, BMW 3 Series, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Lexus is, Jaguar XEL, British finidi Q50L and Cadillac ATS-L.
