On the evening of December 21, the Cadillac Rave with high-performance and all-wheel-drive was officially launched, priced at 479,700 yuan. The new Rave might be the greatest option when compared with the rear-drive model that debuted on sale in June. Cadillac’s confidence in the direction of high-quality, intelligent development has grown with the introduction of the Rave. Cadillac’s key product is the Rave. Deliveries are set to begin on December 26. What sets the Cadillac Rave with high-performance and all-wheel-drive apart from previous models?
The acceleration is better, the configuration are more robust, and the improvements in the new version are outstanding
The name suggests that the power assembly is the main highlight of the Rave high-performance four-wheel-drive version. The new vehicle has dual permanent magnet synchronous motors in the front and back. According to reports, both the front and rear motors and reduction boxes are oil-cooled, which significantly improves the overall efficiency of the system. The efficiency of the front drive motor is 95.3%, while the efficiency of the rear drive motor is 97.2%. According to official data, the front and rear drive motors have a combined maximum output of 375kW and 710Nm, and the vehicle accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, which is 1.7 seconds faster than the rear-drive version.
A crucial factor in reducing users’ mileage concern is the new car’s performance, which is adequate in terms of mileage. The complete mileage under CLTC conditions can reach 608 km, and it enables rapid charging. According to the official information, the new automobile uses a central vehicle control scheme, front and rear motor independent control, and millisecond response speed to produce superior handling and tracking.
The new automobile also has a significant change in the design and material aspects in addition to the power assembly. In terms of design, the new car has a dual appearance, with sports and luxury being two distinct front face types to accommodate more buyers’ desires. It is important to note that the new sports suit also includes a new black crystal obsidian grille, which enhances the striking visual effect.
Cadillac Rave also introduced its first update of OTA (IQ OS V1.1), which enhances every aspect of the driving experience, in response to user demand for hardware and more. A new one-stop after-sale accessory from Rave is the recently added “IQ Smart Control” service. The new “luminous logo and grille” lantern function, which is also the first official accessory released, can be unlocked by users choosing official smart devices. The upgrade of hardware will be available to Rave owners without charge, and once installed, it will have no effect on the vehicle’s warranty.
It’s a new choice for drivers
The new Rave with high-performance all-wheel-drive performance, when combined with the rear-drive version that went on sale in June, may be the finest option.First and foremost, the price difference between existing versions is minor, and there is no discernible variation in configuration performance.The main configuration variations between the two rear-drive models are the sunroof, steering wheel adjustability, seats, and back air conditioning. The car experience is not significantly different, and more people may consider the entry-level model.
The main competitor of the Rave with high-performance all-wheel-drive version as a performance version of a luxury mid-large SUV is the Audi Q5 e-tron, which is also a luxury mid-large SUV. When driving motor performance, acceleration to 100 km/h, and other parameters are considered, the Rave all-wheel-drive high-performance version does not fall short of the Audi Q5 e-tron.
What puts the Rave with high-performance all-wheel-drive version under competitive pressure may be new power products from the local brands, such as the Nio ES7, but Cadillac’s brand influence in China is actually not equal to that of the new power brand.
