Thread: 2014 Cadillac SRX pregled

Recaro čini dječja sjedala. Trener radi torbe s pelenama. Louis Vuitton čini kovanice torbice. Zašto Cadillac ne bi napravio praktično, kompaktno, obiteljsko vozilo? Moja poanta je da ne očekujete od nekih tvrtki da oslobode proizvode koje rade, otvarajući vrata novoj vrsti kupca.

Iskreno, kada se SRX prvi put pojavio sredinom 2000s, bilo je više & ldquo; Cadillac & rdquo; nego što je sada (pročitajte: velika). Međutim, tijekom godina model je malo racionaliziran i postao pristupačniji i privlačan onima na tržištu za crossover s malo više razreda.



Što je Cadillac SRX?
Kao što je gore spomenuto, SRX je prvi put pojavio u 2004 i bio kategoriziran kao srednje veličine crossover. Prva generacija modela izgledala je čudno napubnuto i rastegnuta verzija DTS Sedan--nije posebno atraktivna. Izvorni motor u SRX bio je također veći, 3,6 L V6 i V8 je također bio dostupan. U to vrijeme, učinkovitost goriva nije bio naziv igre, jasno.

2014 Cadillac SRX cijena i specifikacije
Priznajem, bio sam malo šokiran na naljepnici tvoja priložene na 2014 Cadillac SRX AWD, onda sam se sjetio da je nakon svih Caddy. Ovaj luksuz crossover počinje oko 40K. Moj određeni tester, opremljen s AWD i u & quot; Premium & rdquo; trim, počinje u $55.640. Nakon svega što je rekao i učinio-znak dodan zajedno s vozač AIDS-a i veći 20 & rdquo; Kotači--moj 2014 Cadillac SRX4 dao cijenu vage na $62.225.

Veliki broj na stranu, 2014 Cadillac SRX4 ima druge povoljnije znamenke pričvršćene na njega kao što je njegov 3.6 L V6 motor koji proizvodi 308 konjice i 265 lb-ft okretnog momenta. Moć se kontrolira putem 6-Brzina automatskog prijenosa, a cijeli sustav osigurava kombiniranu ocjenu učinkovitosti goriva od 11.2 L/100Km (što je otprilike ono što sam prosječno tijekom tjedna).

Vožnja 2014 Cadillac SRX
Ovdje je vozilo koje ne pokušava biti ništa drugo nego udoban, ugodan za vožnju crossover. Naravno da ima V6 i malo oomph, ali to je bez razrašanja mašte sportski vozilo.

Sveukupno, bio sam zadovoljan načinom na koji je 2014 Cadillac SRX4 vozio. Ne, bio pretjerano impresioniran, ali nije me ostavio da poželim da vozim nešto drugo. Svaki put kad sam bio za volanom, bilo mi je drago što sam bio tamo i veselio se pogonu. Upravljanje je na točki, odgovor na gas je dobar i prijenos nikada ne trazim pravu opremu.

Moja jedina pritužba, a možda i moja najveća, je buka motora koja ulazi u kabinu ako je SRX gurnut. Ponekad, posebno u situacijama u kojima sam morao proći drugo vozilo, morao sam mu dati dosta benzina, a onda je buka koja je ininfiltracija u kabinu bila blizu neugodnog. To je nešto s čime se ne treba baviti u Cadillacu.

AWD sustav je dovoljan i dobro se rukuje unatoč našim frigidnim, snježnim uvjetima tijekom tjedna. Kontrola vuče nije bila previše nametljiva i ja sam zapravo ostavila sve potpuno uključeno tijekom testa.

Unutar i izvan 2014 Cadillac SRX
Cadillac ima tako jasan izgled i prisutnost na cesti, i to mi se sviđa. 2014 Cadillac SRX ima neke velike linije i kutove koji odgovaraju dizajnu vozila na t. Ima nešto otvoreno muževno u vezi ovog prijelaza, i mislim da radi savršeno. Od velikih rešetka i svjetala do pretjerane crte na boku i ramenu. Ovaj auto je sve u kutovima, i svi su dobri.

Unutra, dobar izgled se nastavlja. Obozavam volan SRX-a. Gumbi su samo prave veličine i savršeno postavljeni. Dok sam još uvijek uzeti problem s Touch-osjetljivih & ldquo; gumbi & rdquo; na sredini stog, ja baš volim CUE i znam da, dok je strma krivulja učenja, bilo bi ugodno živjeti sa svakim danom.

Ono što mi je stvarno uhvatilo oko u 2014 Cadillac SRX je bio sustav skladišta prtljažnika. Raspoloživi sustav za upravljanje teretnim sustavom ima veliku podno skladište, kao i kat-montiran metalni stalak s podesivom teretnom ogradom (za čuvanje namirnica ili manjih vrećica na mjestu kako se ne bi klizali okolo). Sve u svemu, komunalne razine su visoke u ovom luksuznom CUV.

Usporedba 2014 Cadillac SRX
Na osnovu njegove tvoja, SRX igra sa velikim momcima poput Infiniti QX70, BMW X5 i Mercedes-Benz M klase. Iako se mjeri u pogled pogodnosti i vožnje, kao što sam suočen s izborom kupnje Cadillac grb preko Europskog žiga, bih imati teško vrijeme opravdavajući cijenu domaćeg brand.

Recaro makes baby seats. Coach makes diaper bags. Louis Vuitton makes coin purses. So, why wouldn't Cadillac make a practical, compact, family-oriented vehicle? My point here is that you wouldn't expect some companies to release the products they do, opening up the door to a whole new type of customer.

Truthfully, when the SRX first appeared in the mid-2000s, it was more “Cadillac” than it is now (read: big). However, over the years the model has been streamlined a bit and made more accessible and appealing to those in the market for a crossover with a bit more class.

What is a Cadillac SRX?
As mentioned above, the SRX made its first appearance in 2004 and was categorized as a midsize crossover. The first generation model looked to be a strangely bloated and stretched out version of the DTS sedan -- not particularly attractive. The original engine in the SRX was also larger, a 3.6L V6, and a V8 was also available. At the time, fuel efficiency was not the name of the game, clearly.

2014 Cadillac SRX Price and Specs
I'll admit, I was a little shocked at the sticker price attached to the 2014 Cadillac SRX AWD, then I remembered it is after all a Caddy. This luxury crossover starts around $40k. My particular tester, equipped with AWD and in “Premium” trim, starts at $55,640. After all was said and done -- CUE added along with driver aids and larger 20” wheels -- my 2014 Cadillac SRX4 tipped the price scales at $62,225.

Large numbers aside, the 2014 Cadillac SRX4 has other more favourable digits attached to it like its 3.6L V6 that produces 308 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. Power is controlled via a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the whole system ensures a combined fuel efficiency rating of 11.2L/100km (which is roughly what I averaged throughout the week).

Driving the 2014 Cadillac SRX
Here's a vehicle that's not trying to be anything other than a comfortable, pleasant to drive crossover. Sure it has a V6 and a bit of oomph, but this is by no stretch of the imagination a sporty vehicle.

Overall, I was content with the way the 2014 Cadillac SRX4 drove. I wasn't overly impressed, but it didn't leave me wishing I were driving something else either. Each time I got behind the wheel, I was pleased to be there and looked forward to the drive. Steering is on point, throttle response is good and the transmission is never searching for the right gear.

My only complaint, and perhaps my biggest one, is the engine noise that enters the cabin if the SRX is pushed. On occasion, particularly in situations where I needed to pass another vehicle, I had to give it quite a bit of gas at which point the noise infiltrating the cabin was close to unpleasant. It's something one shouldn't have to deal with in a Cadillac.

The AWD system is sufficient enough and handled itself very well despite our frigid, snowy conditions throughout the week. The traction control wasn't too intrusive and I actually left everything fully turned on throughout the test.

Inside and Out of the 2014 Cadillac SRX
Cadillac's have such a distinct look and presence on the road, and I love that. The 2014 Cadillac SRX has some great lines and angles that suit the design of the vehicle to a tee. There's something overtly masculine about this crossover, and I think it works perfectly. From the oversized grille and headlights to the exaggerated side gill and shoulder line. This car is all angles, and they're all good.

Inside, the good looks continue. I adore the SRX's steering wheel. The buttons are just the right size and placed perfectly. While I still take issue with the touch-sensitive “buttons” on the centre stack, I do quite like CUE and know that while there is a steep learning curve, it would be pleasant to live with every day.

What really caught my eye in the 2014 Cadillac SRX was the trunk storage system. The available Cargo Management System features a great underfloor storage bin as well as a floor-mounted metal rack with an adjustable cargo fence (to hold groceries or smaller bags in place so they don't slide around). All in all, utility levels are high in this luxury CUV.

Comparing the 2014 Cadillac SRX
Based on its price, the SRX is playing with the big boys like the Infiniti QX70, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class. While it measures up in terms of amenities and drive, if it were I faced with the choice of buying the Cadillac crest over a European mark, I'd have a hard time justifying the price of the domestic brand.
