What is the zero-to-whole ratio of the Cadillac CT5?
2 Answers
The zero-to-whole ratio of the CT5 is approximately 280%. Here are the relevant details: 1. Body Dimensions: In terms of body dimensions, the new car measures 4924/1883/1453 (1445) mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2947 mm. The Cadillac CT5 is a mid-size sedan under the Cadillac brand. Leveraging SAIC-GM's 'Second Engine' strategy, the new car inherits its rich configurations while upgrading to the latest generation of Cadillac Mobile Internet Experience CUE and wireless CarPlay across the lineup. The top-tier Platinum Sport model also adds Baidu's intelligent voice interaction system. 2. Powertrain: The domestically produced Cadillac CT5 is equipped with a 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 174 kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m, while also meeting the China VI emission standards. The transmission system is paired with a 10-speed automatic manual transmission.
I've been studying the car market for a long time. The parts-to-whole ratio refers to the percentage of the total price of all disassembled parts compared to the price of the whole car. The higher the ratio, the more expensive the repairs. As a luxury car, the Cadillac CT5 typically has a high parts-to-whole ratio, estimated to be around 350%. This means that if you spend 300,000 yuan on a car, repairing its parts could cost over a million yuan, mainly because original parts are as expensive as gold—for example, a single headlight assembly can cost tens of thousands of yuan. This directly affects insurance premiums, as a high ratio often leads to higher comprehensive insurance costs. When buying a car, I recommend checking the China Insurance Industry Association's report or requesting data from a 4S store. Don’t just focus on the purchase price; factor in the subsequent costs as well. Otherwise, you might end up with both heartache over repairs and a tight wallet. Developing safe driving habits can also help reduce risks.
