Cadillac is also paying more and more attention to sinking the market in the domestic consumer market. The new cT4 model uses a 1.5T engine for the first time, or a rear drive. Such a power configuration is really unexpected. Recently, Cadillac cT4 1.5T model was found in the latest batch of application catalogue of the Ministry of industry and information technology. The engine was replaced by 1.5T from the previous 2.0T, which seems to be the first time that Cadillac has used 1.5T engine in domestic models**
There is no doubt that if the car comes into the market, its price will be further reduced compared with the current 2.0T model (RMB 239700-259700). Moreover, the current market terminal preferential price of cash models has been around 30000 yuan, while the sales price of 1.5T models should be within 200000 yuan**
According to the declaration information, the new cT4 is equipped with a high-power 1.5T engine code LDF, with a maximum power of 150KW. At the same time, the maximum power of the 2.0T engine is lower than that of the cash (174kw), with a maximum power of 169kw. The transmission system should continue to match the 8-speed manual automatic transmission.
At present, the current cT4 is positioned as a medium-sized vehicle with a body length of 4760mm and a wheelbase of 2775mm. Compared with BMW 1 series, Mercedes Benz A-class and other models, the size and power advantages are more obvious.
However, the sales performance of cT4 has always been mediocre. From January to April this year, only 2702 vehicles were sold, with only a few hundred vehicles per month. After the new 1.5T model is launched, the price is lower. The market will prove whether it can steal some customers of high configuration civic, BMW 1 series and Audi A3.
