The Cadillac CT5 was released today, officially announcing that the car starts at less than 300000 yuan and goes on sale this year.

The rear shape continues the family taillight design, both sides inverted "L" taillight style is novel, the interior is integrated with LED light source; the two-sided rectangular tail row is decorated with chrome plating.

In terms of interior decoration, the design will be the same as the imported version, with a new design language and a younger style. the 10-inch HD touch screen with 1080 resolution in the center console can be controlled by knobs, and the traditional key design is used in air conditioning and multimedia areas.

In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 2.0T variable cylinder turbocharged engine, which is matched by a 10-speed manual transmission with a rated power of 177 kilowatts and a peak torque of 350 Nm.

At present, the starting price of CT5 is less than 300000 yuan, while the starting price of CT4 listed next year may be less than 250000 yuan. The upgrading of Cadillac's main cars is expected to further enhance the brand's younger image.
