最近谍照记者拍到了2019款凯迪拉克CT6进行雪地测试的照片，新车车身仍采用重度伪装，除了车身传统的云纹伪装外，重点对新的格栅和重新设计的前大灯进行了遮盖。预计新车格栅将取自2016年发布的Escala概念车，采用蜂巢结构而非现行版的水平横杠。新的底部进气口与格栅相连，当然，看起来进气口不会像概念车那样扩展到与前脸同宽。同样，前大灯也将与现行版一样采用水平设置，不过不会像Escala概念车那样的小细眯缝眼。虽然车身进行了重度伪装，但预计不会有什么改变，而尾灯组则进行小幅改款。作为一辆中期改款车，内装也不会有很大变化，只是内饰和颜色选择有所改变。该车动力系统也将与现行版一样，入门级仍将采用2.0升涡轮增压加后轮驱动组合，而3.6升V6或3.0升六缸涡轮增压（301千瓦/404马力）将提供四轮驱动。而插电混动版将搭载一台2.0升引擎和一台电机，功率335马力，油耗62MPGe。新车将于今年发布，很可能选择2月的芝加哥车展亮相。
2019 Cadillac CT6 Sedan Facelift Spied Speeding In Snow
General Motors has done an admirable job of keeping it’s forthcoming Cadillac CT6 refresh out of the public eye. This is only the third time we’ve seen the car since we first caught it six months ago, and the camouflage coverings are still pretty much identical. Aside from the standard-issue swirl body wrap, the main secrets are concealed on the front clip where a new grille and fascia reside, along with redesigned headlights.
Specifically, the grille is expected to borrow inspiration from the Escala concept car shown back in 2016, taking on a honeycomb appearance as opposed to the horizontal bars of the current design. A new lower air intake will accompany the grille, though it doesn’t appear to span the full width of the fascia as seen on the concept car. Similarly, the headlights will adopt a more horizontal design compared to the current car, though they won’t be the slim eyelids seen on the Escala. Despite the vehicle-wide camo wrap, we aren’t expecting any other exterior tweaks, save for possibly some small changes to the tail lights.
Given this is a mid-cycle refresh, we don’t expect to see much change on the inside either save for possible trim and color options. The same can be said for the powertrain, which should carry over from the current CT6. That means a choice of either a 2.0-liter turbo for the rear-wheel drive base model, a 3.6-liter V6, or a biturbo 3.0-liter six creating 404 horsepower (301 kW) turning all four wheels. A plug-in hybrid model utilizing the 2.0-liter engine with an electric boost delivers 335 horsepower with a mileage rating of 62 MPGe.
We thought Cadillac might unveil the touched-up CT6 at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, but that didn’t transpire. The new car will certainly appear this year, however, with the next possibility being the Chicago Auto Show in February.
