What should the mainstream luxury brands make electric cars taste like? This is a controversial issue on the Internet. In the new energy era of hand-to-hand combat, through pre-emptive measures, independent new forces really seized the opportunity to build cars, changed the way we used new energy vehicles, and made us accustomed to the taste of building cars. How do joint venture car companies create their own characteristics? It has also become a subject that OEMs need to study. And through us, Cadillac's first American luxury brand pure electric product Riggs seems to have found the answer.
First of all, the flagship! In Riggs, you can really feel the concept of building a car that Cadillac wants to convey to users, which can be described as "grinding a sword in ten years". The whole shape has its own characteristics, and the diamond-cut lines and vertical headlights combine classic design elements. Compared with the simple style with serious homogenization, the ideal products of Tucki and Weilai are likely to be confused if they are covered with logo. However, Riggs exudes an unconventional big brother atmosphere in the war of new energy.
For the brand-new Cadillac classic design, 58 LED light bars and Cadillac's luminous LOGO are integrated in the shield-type front grille, which also has high recognition after lighting at night. Especially at night, with the key close to the car, the light bars of the Riggs grille light up together, which reflects Cadillac's pursuit of luxury details and makes Riggs amazing enough at night. Refreshing passers-by's cognition of Cadillac brand.
When you are sitting in the car, you can't help thinking, "Is this the Cadillac you used to know?" The most attractive part of the whole cockpit is the 33-inch retina circular screen, with 9K resolution+10.07 billion kinds of color display effects, which also adds a touch of color ink to the atmosphere of the interior. Moreover, Qualcomm 8 155, the highest in-vehicle flagship chip, and Riggs also showed us the "new scheme" for the mainstream luxury brands in the Z era to transform into the pure electric field. Cadillac is the first luxury brand based on pure electric platform.
Therefore, in the selection of materials, Riggs does not forget the identity of its luxury brand, and it is appropriate to use a lot of leather in the interior. There are also electric control knobs of North American white nails and Mens shield crystal diamonds in the car, as well as the "Waterbird" logo and the "Jewelry Box" storage compartment carved on the edge of the dashboard, which shows the extraordinary luxury quality of Riggs in details. In addition, Cadillac won the "Huayu Award 2022 China Smart Cockpit Model of the Year" for its Riggs VCS smart cockpit. The beauty of the combination of luxury quality and technology also makes Riggs truly worthy of this title and explains the true definition of luxury.
The most pleasing thing is that the AKG studio-level audio system, 19 selected speaker configuration, quantum logic surround sound technology Unity coaxial speaker, Acoustic Lens acoustic prism and other top studio-level technology blessings carried by Ruige have made a meticulous music feast, constantly refreshing the "upper limit" of mainstream luxury brands in automobile intelligence.
Returning to the practical level, the length, width and height of the Riggs are 5003* 1977* 1637mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 3094 mm. Different from those SUVs that focus on dad, the sense of space of the Riggs has an overwhelming advantage, even giving people the feeling of a station wagon, which may be the significance of the Riggs as a global model.
As Cadillac's first pure electric vehicle, Riggs was developed based on Ultium Autoenergy electric vehicle platform, which integrated GM's 26 years of electrification forward-looking technical experience and pioneered wireless battery management technology. The state of each battery is a wireless beam link, which can reduce the weight and avoid the hidden trouble caused by line failure compared with traditional wired management. Subverted our understanding of new energy vehicles.
So Riggs, as the first pioneering work, has three advantages: intelligence, safety and performance. With the help of double motors, the power of the whole vehicle can reach 375kw, the peak torque can reach 765,438+00 N m, and the acceleration time of 4.6 seconds is 100 kilometers, which also makes Riggs refresh the charm of mainstream luxury brands again.
Summary:
Undoubtedly, the appearance of Riggs also represents that mainstream luxury brands have launched a new round of "counterattack" against the new forces of making cars, showing us that the original joint venture car companies can also open different ideas and bring refreshing electric car values to users, so Cadillac has set a new benchmark and also fired the first shot of electrification.
