Is Cadillac very fuel-consuming?

[MacKennedy]

Cadillac is relatively fuel-consuming compared to vehicles in the same class. Different models use engines with varying displacements, so the fuel consumption will differ. Here is more information about Cadillac's fuel consumption: 1. Normal fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for cars: (1) Compact cars consume 6-10 liters; (2) Mid-size cars consume 8-12 liters; (3) Large cars consume 12-18 liters. 2. Fuel-saving tips for cars: (1) Maintain good driving habits; (2) Shift gears frequently; (3) Keep a steady speed. 3. Constant-Speed Fuel Economy: Constant-speed fuel economy refers to the fuel efficiency indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator.

I think Cadillac is indeed quite fuel-thirsty on certain models, especially those large-displacement SUVs like the Escalade, where urban driving fuel consumption can reach around 15L/100km. This is due to the heavy body and strong power, which provide a satisfying push-back feeling when driving but at the cost of higher fuel expenses. Of course, not all models are like this. Sedans like the CT5, if equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, can reduce highway fuel consumption to around 8L, which is quite economical. Driving habits are crucial when driving a Cadillac; aggressive acceleration or frequent traffic jams can significantly increase fuel consumption. For my regular driving, I generally spend a few hundred dollars more on fuel each month compared to an economy car, but in return, I get comfort and a luxury experience. If fuel consumption is a concern, I’d recommend opting for compact models or hybrid versions, like the XT5 mild hybrid, which allows you to enjoy the brand while being relatively economical. In short, it depends on your specific model and usage—don’t just focus on luxury and overlook your wallet.

As a car enthusiast, I have some insights into Cadillac's fuel consumption. The older V8 engines like those in the CTS deliver powerful performance, but they can guzzle up to 18L/100km in the city, with slightly better efficiency on the highway. However, newer technologies such as 4-cylinder turbocharged engines and 10-speed transmissions have made models like the CT4 much more economical, reducing fuel consumption to 7-9L/100km. Some models even feature cylinder deactivation technology, which automatically reduces the number of active cylinders during cruising. Compared to BMW or Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac's entry-level models have similar fuel efficiency, but their high-end models still consume more. Using the economy mode while driving can help a bit. I believe choosing a car should consider overall value: higher fuel consumption is offset by durability and driving pleasure. For those seeking ultimate fuel efficiency, hybrid or electric Cadillacs like the Lyriq are worth considering, as the brand is transitioning toward greener options. In daily driving, I enjoy experimenting with different modes to balance excitement and expenses.

I think Cadillacs are a bit fuel-thirsty, especially the older models or large vehicles, as the brand has always emphasized performance and comfort. Take the classic Escalade SUV for example—its urban fuel consumption is annoyingly high, impacting the environment and increasing emissions. But the good news is that newer models like the compact XT4 SUV feature efficient engines, with fuel consumption close to 9L/100km, showing significant improvement. Additionally, current models come with energy-saving features like auto start-stop, which can slightly optimize fuel usage. However, overall, it still can't be considered a fuel-efficient car. Compared to Toyota or Honda hybrids, Cadillac's fuel economy is just average. I recommend opting for smaller-sized models or those with electric options to reduce reliance on petroleum. When driving, practice gentle acceleration and avoid long idling to prevent unnecessary fuel waste. In the long run, the brand is pushing toward electric vehicles, so the future should be better. But for now, buying a gasoline version means accepting higher daily operating costs.
