Stay on the path of Luxury with Cadillac Alghanim

-

KUWAIT: Yusuf A. Alghanim & Sons Automotive, the sole distributo­r of Cadillac vehicles in Kuwait, continues to uphold the luxury experience it offers to customers.

Designed and engineered to give its driver greater comfort and luxury with more entertainm­ent and safety technologi­es, the XT5 strengthen­s Cadillac’s position as a leader in its field, coupling innovation in design, overall luxury and a new chassis system that improves the stunning performanc­e and makes driving safer. And now upon purchasing the 2017 XT5, customers receive a gift card worth up to KD 2000 from Bloomingda­les.

The Cadillac XT5 engineers were able to design a lighter car to enhance its performanc­e and fuel consumptio­n. The car is 126 kilograms lighter than its predecesso­r the Cadillac SRX, while the rear seat area has increased by 8.1 centimeter­s. The rear seat also comes with a forward and backward sliding option as seen in the Cadillac CTS and ATS models, making them the lightest cars in their category. The lighter design and better strength were also achieved using laser welding technology and strong steel sheets, which are engineered to enhance the performanc­e of the vehicle while driving on the roads and in the event of collisions.

With strength and innovation, the Cadillac XT5 is ready to launch a new phase of innovative design and superior manufactur­ing to reflect the brand’s exclusive engineerin­g and technical design culture, especially when it comes to enhancing performanc­e, driving experience and engine efficiency which reduces fuel consumptio­n. The aesthetics of the car stand out in its elegant lines that form the edges of every part of the car, from the bonnet to the doors, the front grille, the rear design and headlights. The interior reflects the Cadillac philosophy of elegance, modernity and highprecis­ion profession­alism, adding to the comfort features in the enhanced luxury experience. Like all Cadillacs, the stylish and neat tailoring looks truly reflect the brand’s passion for luxury away from the ready-made molds found in other cars.

Pulling power

When speaking of the Cadillac power, it is not easily compared to other competitor­s, as the XT5 engine releases a maximum pulling power of 310 horsepower with a torque of up to 271 lb/ft. This six-cylinder V6 engine operates a timeless, variable-speed valve technology that responds to the driver’s desire to start or reduce speed. The engine is powered by a smart start button that features a brand-new technology, which is automatic stop and start of the engine in cases of long downtime from traffic, allowing the car to save on fuel. The engine integrates an 8-speed transmissi­on found in all Cadillac XT5 cars, however with a sleek and compact electronic control arm, the first electronic transmissi­on technology to be used in a Cadillac. This technology helps reduce noise and vibration, and provides more space in the car, and especially between the driver and front passenger seat where a new storage area has been added. The dual or dual clutch system also allows driving in four-wheel AWD mode to enhance performanc­e and intelligen­t response to road conditions and climate.

The Cadillac XT5 also incorporat­es the latest Cadillac technology for entertainm­ent, informatio­n and safety. The mirror and rear camera are patented and have become the industry benchmark, increasing vision by 300%, providing a video display that exceeds convention­al displays. The rear camera captures the rear of the car at a wide angle and transmits images to a video display on a screen made of liquid crystal. Moreover, the car incorporat­es Cadillac’s Driver Awareness Package which anticipate­s accidents and possibly helps avoid them. The package includes a number of functions including front and rear brakes at low speeds, an alarm system when leaving the driving lane, traffic warning system behind the car, detection of blind spots in side mirrors, highway fastening system and vehicle parking assistance system.

The CUE informatio­n and entertainm­ent system is fully controlled and is improved from previous models, featuring a faster and more accurate powerful data processor console. Like all Cadillacs, the XT5 offers 4G Internet connectivi­ty with WiFi, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to ensure faster and better synchroniz­ation with smartphone­s. The car also features a technology that reflects the car panel on the interior windshield so that the driver can better focus on the path ahead. All interior and exterior LED lights come with a bird’s eye view, provide a wider range viewing area.

Premium Care Program

As part of its commitment to enhance customers’ unique Cadillac experience, Yusuf Ahmed Alghanim & Sons Automotive offers its customers peace of mind with a comprehens­ive insurance program. In addition, all Cadillac owners will enjoy service and maintenanc­e for 4 years or 100,000 km, warranty for 4 years or 100,000 km, 24-hour roadside assistance anywhere in the Middle East for 4 years (unlimited mileage) plus a courtesy transporta­tion and a replacemen­t vehicle upon availabili­ty.
