凯迪拉克在成都车展发布了其首款混动车型——XT5混动版，该车采用了弱混动系统。作为XT528T的替代车型，这款XT528E将提供Platinum和Advanced两种版本，都搭载了相同的动力总成和全驱系统。混动版价额与以前的非混动版相比没有变化。车厂表示，该车搭载的弱混动系统不仅可以提供更优异的燃油经济性，而且“可以提升驾驶灵活性，同时在车辆起动/停车，加速，巡航和制动这四种驾驶条件下的乘坐舒适性也获得升级”。与驱动系统搭配的是九速自动变速箱，它经过特别调校，更适合在城市道路行驶。混动系统和自动变速器的组合使车辆综合油耗“大幅”降低至7.9升/百公里。车厂表示，车载电机系统可以在车辆加速时提供辅助动力，同时可以在车辆保持固定速度的巡航行驶以及制动减速时回收额外的动力。该车还配备了第十代安吉星系统，可提供22项智能服务并提供五年免费使用包括车况检测报告、经销商维保提醒、碰撞自动求助、车辆数据远程刷新、车辆远程控制等安吉星基础服务。这款车还标配凯迪拉克最新一代信息娱乐系统，可监控弱混动系统运行，可提供网易云音乐和考拉FM以及其他基于云端的应用软件。
Cadillac's First XT5 Hybrid Launches In China
Cadillac has introduced its first-ever hybrid model on the Chinese market. The XT5 equipped with a mild hybrid system has made its official debut at the Chengdu Motor Show and will go on sale in the country right after the show.
Effectively replacing the XT5 28T variant, the hybrid XT5 28E will be offered in two trim levels, the Platinum and Advanced, both featuring identical powertrain and an all-wheel drive system. Prices remain unchanged compared to the non-hybrid predecessor.
Cadillac promises the mild hybrid system not only provides a better fuel economy, but also improves “driving agility and ride comfort specifically in four driving conditions: start/stop events, acceleration, cruising and braking.” The system is mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox, calibrated especially for urban road conditions. The combination of the hybrid powerplant and the auto transmission ensures the fuel consumption is reduced “dramatically” to 29.77 miles per gallon (7.9 liters/100 kilometers). The electric motor of the system, the manufacturer explains, provides support when the car is accelerating and also recovers excess power when the vehicle cruises at constant speeds, as well as braking energy at deceleration.
On board, the XT5 hybrid also gets the tenth generation OnStar system with 22 intelligent services and five years of subscription for the basic package, which includes Vehicle Diagnostics, Dealer Maintenance Notification, Automatic Crash Response, Remote Vehicle Data Update, and Remote Vehicle Control.
Also, as a part of the standard equipment, customers receive the latest generation of Cadillac's infotainment system with monitoring of the mild hybrid system, infotainment applications such as NetEase Cloud Music and Kaola FM, and other cloud-based apps.
