最近谍照记者通用米尔福德测试场首次拍到了凯迪拉克CT4.由于ATS即将退市，这款CT4将接替ATS加入凯迪拉克家族。这辆测试车进行了重度伪装，无法看清细节。与即将上市的更大的CT5相比，CT4看起来不那么具有肌肉感，但两款车共享了雕刻感车身，提升了美感。车身，包括车顶和格栅上都配备了很多传感器。仔细看会发现，车头采用了凯迪拉克纵向排列大灯，尾灯组也是垂直分布。目前关于这款车技术细节很少。车厂表示，所有2020款车型都将配备该品牌的SuperCruise半自动驾驶系统，车辆可以让驾驶员双手离开方向盘行驶。这项先进技术将是新车最大卖点。凯迪拉克最近在拉斯维加斯举行的大会上向经销商展示了CT4,CT5,XT6和下一代凯雷德，凡是看过新车的人都很兴奋。其中有人表示，这是该品牌25年来最棒的一次集中展示。CT4和CT5这两款车都将在通用位于密歇根州兰辛格兰德河装配厂生产。通用为该厂投资1.75亿美元升级生产设备以便能生产新款轿车。CT5将于明年投产，而CT4将在其后投产。
Cadillac CT4 Spied For Very First Time, Looks Like Smaller CT5
New spy shots provide our first look at the upcoming Cadillac CT4 while it laps General Motors' Milford Proving Ground. With the ATS sedan allegedly getting the axe soon, this four-door would take over its role as an entry-level product in Caddy's lineup.
This test mule wears lots of camouflage that keeps us from drawing too many specific conclusions about the CT4's styling. Compared to the upcoming, larger CT5, this sedan looks less muscular, but they share a similarly chiseled overall aesthetic. The exterior has plenty of sensors, including an array of them on the roof and another on the grille. Looking closely, the front end appears to have Cadillac's cascading headlights, and the taillights have a similar vertical layout.
There are few technical details available about the CT4 at this time. Cadillac promises that all of its models by 2020 would have the brand's Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system that allows for hands-free motoring. The cutting-edge tech could be a major selling point for the sedan by offering commuters a more comfortable way to get to work. Cadillac recently showed the CT4, CT5, XT6, and next-gen Escalade to dealers at a meeting in Las Vegas, and the sales folks were reportedly quite happy with what they saw. One attendee said it was the brand's best showing in 25 years.
The CT4 and CT5 will both come from General Motors' Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in Michigan. The General is investing $175 million into the factory to upgrade the facility to build the new sedans. The CT5 goes into production in 2019, and the CT4 reportedly arrives shortly afterward.
