On September 28th, before the National Day holiday, Cadillac officially announced the launch of the new generation XT5. Although its guide price of 399,900-459,900 seems a bit high, Cadillac also announced the launch of a limited-time preferential price at the press conference. Now the actual price range of the new generation XT5 is 26.59-335,900, which is full at once.
?
You know, compared with its BBA rivals, XT5′ s new car advantage is obvious, and Cadillac attaches great importance to XT5 this time, and all kinds of configurations can be said to be full. At this stage, when you want to buy a luxury brand medium-sized SUV with a budget of 260,000 yuan, the new generation XT5 is probably the most cost-effective choice at this stage.
?
So how to choose several versions of this replacement car with full configuration? How about the direct entry version?
In fact, although many domestic cars of 200,000-250,000 grades have achieved entry-level high allocation, that is, all versions are standard in key configuration, even if you buy the lowest allocation, the experience will not be much worse. However, in the field of joint venture vehicles, this approach of getting started and matching is relatively rare. But obviously, the new XT5 is completely in line with domestic cars in this respect.
?
This is a standard car with most key configurations, with a body size of 4888*1957*1694mm and a wheelbase of 2863 mm. The engines are all 237 2.0T machines with LXH model (burning No.95 oil), with cylinder closing technology, 48V light mixing and 9AT gearbox. The suspension is also a rear five-bar suspension.
?
At the same time, it comes standard with timely four-wheel drive, which most of its competitors can’t do at this price. Similarly, L2 system, Cadillac’s specialty headlights, double-layer sound insulation glass+rear privacy glass, and the 33-inch 9K resolution curved surface screen with amazing size and resolution are all standard. Of course, the seat comfort emphasized by the new car at the press conference is naturally standard in the whole system without castration. It can be said that most of the products mentioned at the press conference are standard in this car.
?
This hands-on style is enough for XT5 to distance itself from other luxury brand rivals at the same level. It also makes the choice of three configurations of this car less difficult.
Considering that this car is equipped at the beginning of the whole system, most of the configuration differences of its three versions are actually focused on something that enhances the driving experience. There are three configurations in the new car, among which there is not much difference between the top configuration and the middle configuration, and the price difference between the middle configuration of 295,900 and the top configuration of 335,900 is quite large, so we suggest that you choose between the low configuration and the middle configuration.
?
The low allocation is 265,900, the middle allocation is 295,900, and the difference is 30,000. What can I get for this 30,000 yuan? Let’s give you a list below: the exterior rearview mirror has more reversing, more steering wheel heating, more streaming media interior rearview mirror, more independent lumbar support adjustment for the main and passenger seats, more ventilation function for the front seats, and more heating function for the second row seats. In addition, the biggest difference is the sound system. The low one is a 7-speaker sound with unknown brand, and the middle one is a 15-speaker AKG sound.
?
To be honest, compared with the price difference of 30 thousand, these configurations are actually not so valuable. Therefore, our suggestion for buying a car is that, considering that the basic configuration of the new XT5 is high enough, we can directly buy the 2.0T luxury model of 265,900 yuan, that is, the low allocation is enough.
Obviously, XT5′ s competitors have always been the three explosive cars of BBA. XT5 and their competitive advantages have always focused on price and configuration, and this generation of models is no exception, but compared with the competition pattern eight years ago, the new XT5′ s basic configuration is now more complete, and its competitive advantage is greater than BBA’s three competitors.
?
Even compared with luxury brands such as Volvo, the new XT5 has no small advantage in configuration. It can be said that in the field of medium-sized luxury SUV, the current competitiveness of the new generation XT5 is very strong, and it is very promising to become the benchmark car in the market segment.
?
However, as for the comparison with domestic brands at the same price, the configuration is actually similar, but most domestic cars at this price are already new energy sources. As a fuel vehicle, XT5 does have some pressure on these domestic new energy vehicles with larger size, longer wheelbase and more space. However, as a luxury brand, Cadillac’s brand tonality still exists.
?
Therefore, the XT5 will naturally become a new explosion model in the field of medium-sized luxury SUVs. There is no doubt that it will also become Cadillac’s new sales fulcrum in the field of fuel SUVs. We are extremely optimistic about the market prospect of this car.
