Bitauto Original Although many popular models that can be called Internet celebrities have been born in recent years, the medium and large sedan series products of "IKEA" occupy a decisive position in the market. Among them, joint venture luxury brands have attracted close attention from consumers. Since it is a model that focuses on both commercial and household use, it must be balanced in terms of styling design, configuration and texture, and have a certain degree of uniqueness. This time we have selected three well-known medium and large sedans for comparison to see how competitive they are?

The guide prices of these three models are very close, and they are all main models that have attracted much attention recently. Which one will have stronger advantages in design, quality and configuration?
Appearance comparison: CT6 luxury style/A6L harmonious and steady/S90 European simplicity
The overall shape of the Cadillac CT6 is a typical American style, with the vehicle being spacious and slender. Although the body is wide, its strong lines create an obvious sense of strength. The shield-shaped air intake grille and the angular headlight shape also add a unique American sophistication. As a 120th anniversary limited edition, this model adopts "Night Ocean Blue" body color, which is different from ordinary models and also more tasteful. In addition, details include an exclusive welcome light mat and a unique goddess logo on the C-pillar.
Needless to say, the Audi A6L is almost a classic luxury car in the hearts of generations, and it is full of great reputation. As a product that is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this generation of A6L still maintains a harmonious and solemn styling style. Some breakthroughs can also be seen in the classics, striving to be close to the young group. Although the entire vehicle also has many through-line shapes, it focuses more on balance. The hexagonal grille is wide and stable, and the technological feel of the headlights is also one of its important selling points, especially the comb-shaped taillights that are highly recognizable when lit. But overall, "seeking stability" can better summarize the design of A6L, and also covers more key consumer groups.
If you are looking for a luxury car that represents Nordic style, only the Volvo S90 can represent it. Although the S90 is not as popular as the A6L, the simple style that can be seen from the appearance is also unique. Volvo has always been flaunting safety, but it also has its own characteristics in building a luxury brand. Although this generation of design language has been around for nearly ten years, it is still timeless today, with its simple and neat horizontal multi-stripe grille and exquisite lights. The cavity structure makes the whole vehicle very atmospheric. The duck tail at the rear of the vehicleThe shape is appropriately enriched with details.
Interior comparison: CT6 superior comfort/A6L technological luxury/S90 simple and natural
When you sit in the CT6, your first impression is that everything within reach is covered with genuine leather, and the model also uses suede material, which can be described as comfort first. In addition, Cadillac's diamond-cut design language is also displayed in the car. The center console has a very stretched shape and the functional divisions are also very clear. It does not pursue youthfulness excessively, but it obviously has the right energetic atmosphere. As a 120th anniversary limited edition model, the interior of this CT6 adopts an exclusive "Dianyun Gardenia" color scheme, which adds some elegance and better reflects the characteristics of an old-style luxury.
The interior of the A6L can be said to be a design style integrating technology and luxury. The center console is simple and exquisite, with obvious hierarchical divisions. The center console is decorated with soft slush molding and stitching, which adds a lot of texture to the visual effect. The configuration of the three screens in the car is very modern and has a technological atmosphere. Although the combination of touch screen and physical buttons seems a little complicated, it can cater to the favor of many consumers. The central control screen supports Carplay and Carlife, which is also a must-have configuration for luxury-level models.
The interior of the S90 adopts a simple and natural design style, and the materials used also continue to be of consistently excellent standards. Although it does not look as visually luxurious as the previous two models, it also uses a large area of soft materials. It is wrapped in materials and matched with leather and stitching to enhance the overall texture of the interior. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and 9-inch vertical central control screen are significantly helpful in enhancing the sense of technology in the car. The experience of getting started with the Android car system is very similar to operating a mobile phone, with faster response and richer functions.
In terms of seats, S90 adopts an integrated design of seats, which is good-looking and more ergonomically designed, and has excellent wrapping capabilities for the occupants. In terms of functions, this CT6 is even better. It is equipped with memory, heating and ventilation, which is very rare in its class and deserves recognition. The A6L only has the most basic electric adjustment functions, and everything else needs to be optional, so the price/performance ratio is slightly inferior.
Configuration comparison: All three cars are comprehensive/CT6 "leapfrog comfort"
The three vehicles all have relatively comprehensive coverage in mainstream configurations, such as collision warning, active braking, front/rear parking radar, automatic parking, keyless entry, one-button start, vehicle navigation, vehicle Bluetooth, and LED display Lights, automatic headlights, sensor wipers and dual-zone automatic air conditioning, etc., can easily meet the basic needs of users and are within the conventional level in the same price range. But overall, the overall configuration and functions of CT6 are better than those of the other two cars.Be more comprehensive.
Power comparison: All three vehicles have 2.0T engines
All three models use 2.0T engines. The CT6 has a maximum power of 174kW and a maximum torque of 350N·m. It is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission independently developed by General Motors. This engine adopts GM's mainstream variable valve management technology, which allows the engine to run with cylinder deactivation under different operating conditions, thus taking into account both power performance and fuel economy.
The A6L 40TFSI model is equipped with a 2.0T low-power engine with a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 320N.m. It is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In data performance three, there is some gap between this engine and the other two models, but its advantage lies in the installation rate and stability, and the maintenance cost in the future may be slightly lower.
S90 is equipped with a more energy-saving and environmentally friendly 2.0T engine + 48V hybrid system power unit with a maximum power of 184kw and a maximum torque of 350N·m. It is the most powerful among the three cars and is equipped with 8-speed automatic transmission. The highlight of this hybrid system is that when the engine is shut down, the 48V system supplies energy to the vehicle's electrical equipment, thereby extending the engine shutdown time. Reduces unnecessary idling fuel consumption.
Editor's comment: For the consumer group with a handholding of 300,000-400,000 yuan, these three models are basically the objects that will be considered. Comparatively speaking, Cadillac CT6 inherits the traditional American luxury, and as a limited edition model, its unique color matching and ultra-high configuration make it more attractive; Audi A6L is an "old and powerful", with a stable and majestic style, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Its image is its advantage; and the Volvo S90 looks like it has the "cool air" of Northern Europe, paying more attention to environmental protection and simple experience.
