* * * The same hobby is always the best catalyst between boys, playing ball games, playing games and choosing cars. They may be attracted by the personality design of a car, but when friends sit together and talk about the car, they can't escape a soul question-"How motivated is your car?" .
Therefore, there is no doubt that when the labels "2.0T+8AT, rear drive, 239,700 start" appear in front of boys, they have lost their resistance. That's right, this car is the Cadillac entry-level sedan-CT4, which exploded the circle of friends a while ago.
000 can't run for seven seconds? Those are brothers.
For boys, zero-speed acceleration will always be their talk about showing their strong car power. So in order to satisfy the boys' pursuit of "speed and passion", CT4 threw out the data of "6.9 seconds".
What can we choose for an entry-level limousine? 1.3T Mercedes-Benz Class A? 1.5T BMW 1 series? Or 1.4T Audi A3? Although small-displacement turbocharged models are the mainstream, it is obviously not enough to put such displacement and such power level on luxury cars, not to mention that they also have high and low power. Like Cadillac's routine operation, CT4 directly takes the 2.0T engine as the standard for all models.
The maximum power of this engine is 237Ps, and the peak torque is 350n·m, which is also an excellent level among 2.0T models in terms of parameters. But CT4' s 100-kilometer acceleration is less than 7 seconds. In front of it, it is simply the existence of a younger brother, a real small steel gun. At the same time, this engine also has variable cylinder technology, which can easily switch between "four-cylinder high performance mode", "four-cylinder economy mode" and "two-cylinder super economy mode" to achieve the best balance between strong power and fuel efficiency.
The new 8-speed automatic manual transmission is just right on CT4. After the upgrade, the transmission ratio is more reasonable, the shift efficiency is faster, the shift feeling is smoother, the shift logic is smarter, and the comfort and sportiness of the whole vehicle are improved. It is also the tacit cooperation between the engine and the gearbox that enables CT4 to advance to the "6-second club", and at the same time, it also has excellent fuel economy and takes care of everyone's tight pockets.
Without the rear drive, everything would be boring.
When the adrenaline caused by speed drops, the topic of boys talking about cars is only "handsome", such as drifting. So this also makes CT4 another hard-core talk-the only rear-wheel drive at the same level.
"No rear drive, no luxury" has been Cadillac's most solid slogan. As a luxury car that pays attention to pedigree and threshold, "rear drive" is the existence that they will not compromise, which can be seen from the flagship cars of most luxury brands that insist on rear drive. Therefore, although CT4 is only an entry-level luxury car, rear drive is its brand connotation that will not compromise for cost, and it is also the selling point of its high-value and high-grade products.
In addition, it is also the layout of the rear drive. CT4 can achieve a balanced ratio of 50:50 before and after, with stronger acceleration, faster braking, more stable body in the limit state and more beautiful drifting action. At the same time, due to the independence of the driving wheel and steering wheel, CT4 has a larger front wheel steering angle than the predecessor model, and the minimum turning diameter is only 1 1. 1 meter. Coupled with the cooperation of mechanical variable transmission ratio steering rack and SSPS speed adaptive electronic power steering system, CT4 not only has excellent physical limits, but also has accurate steering and flexible body in the full speed range, making the driving and handling experience more outstanding.
It can be seen that CT4 is uncompromising not only in the rear drive, but also in the innate sports soul.
No hard core, no exercise.
However, whether it is a strong power system or a rear-drive layout, whether a car is easy to drive depends largely on the adjustment and coordination of the hard-core chassis. Thanks to the new generation of Alpha platform, CT4' s skill on the chassis is naturally abundant.
Compared with the traditional McPherson form of the front suspension of most vehicles, CT4, which is upgraded to a double-ball joint multi-link structure, divides the lower control arm into two parts, which makes the body dynamics more stable when it encounters uneven roads during steering. The lower control arm and steering knuckle of aluminum alloy can reduce the unsprung weight, improve the dynamic response speed of the whole vehicle and get better control pleasure. In addition, the newly designed rear multi-link independent suspension can ensure that the tires can cling to the ground under any road conditions, and comprehensively improve the stability and ride comfort of the car body.
It is the CT4 built by this new generation of Alfa luxury rear-drive platform that optimizes the chassis suspension and adopts lightweight design, so that we can still take care of every passenger in the car while enjoying the speed and passion. Family members won't complain, so why not?
That? end
Looking back at the listing of CT4, many people said that it was a press conference focusing more on female consumers. Actually, why not make it a visual feast for male consumers? In addition to the cool and handsome CT4 behind, the two beautiful girls, one with long legs and one with sexy abdominal muscles, are really eye-catching. Even Li Jiaqi, who is "bought in buy buy", can be coaxed by boys? The kind words of "Wife" buying CT4.
Perhaps for male consumers, Cadillac CT4' s powerful power, rear-drive layout and excellent chassis are enough for them to relish in front of their friends. But from a deeper perspective, in the entry-level luxury car market below 250,000, CT4 is in a leading position in product upgrading, value promotion and brand promotion, and strives to become a real weapon for men to make friends.
