Cadillac BLS is a good, presentable4-door car class "sedan", relating to the medium-sized. But there are also versions made in the body of the "station wagon", but they are less popular. Well, you can tell a lot about this car, but I'd like to mention the most important and the main thing in the first place.
The first thing I would like to say about Cadillac BLS,- this is the fact that the specialists of the concern developed this front-drive model specifically for the automotive market in Europe. And this is the company's smallest car. The model was presented to the public for the first time in 2005, in Frankfurt. In order to create this machine, we used a platform that was originally used as the basis for such cars as Opel Vectra and SAAB 9-3. But even in spite of this general feature, the model released by the Cadillac looks much more powerful, large and solid. Its length is 4680 mm, width - 1750, and height - 1149. This car weighs about one and a half tons. However, even despite such a considerable mass, the model turned out to be rather dynamic. Even faster and more passable than the world famous Cadillac Brougham.
So, now it's worth a couple of words to say about design.Cadillac BLS looks very attractive, expensive and interesting. Above the exterior worked the international team of the concern, and the head was the president of General Motors himself. The design was based on the stylistic decisions of Ed Velhörn. Distinctive features of the resulting model are clear lines and contours, as well as a wedge-shaped body. Plus to all it is necessary to note as a whole an elegant form of a body. Not too common for muscular "Cadillacs," but this is its fundamental feature. Also in the eye rushes the chrome V-shaped grille and large side body surfaces. Still attracting attention are the crystal lights and exquisitely designed fog lights - they were decided to be mounted in the front bumper. And on the roof of the trunk placed a stop signal. So, in general, the view from the car is presentable - for such a car they will accurately pay attention to the traffic flow.
Interior Cadillac BLS is also a success.Everything is stylish and elegant - in the best traditions of the Cadillac. A distinctive feature of the cabin many unanimously consider the excellent sound of the audio system developed by the American company Bose.
By the way, the interior is completethe opposite of the exterior of the car. If the machine as a whole looks powerful and solid, then here in the salon predominantly smooth lines. At once it is worth noting the dials of a round shape with a black background - on it very clearly stand out the figures of white with a skin wrapped around the skin. Armchairs - you need to talk about them separately. They are also covered with good skin and have an original line, which the designers decided to allocate intentionally. The supplement is supplemented with aluminum-finished ventilation and heating systems. The frame is also made of this material - it has become a successful decoration of the center console. In general, if to put it succinctly, the designers managed to create an atmosphere of wealth and luxury inside.
Car Cadillac BLS reviews getsmostly positive - and it's easy to understand, because this machine can really satisfy the demands of even the most picky motorists. Take, for example, equipment. Inside the model, the best modern information and entertainment systems BLS are installed. This high-quality "music", which has already been said before, is also a Touch Screen, designed to control the on-board systems, and a DVD player. Needless to say, even Bluetooth, through which a motorist can talk on a mobile network, without resorting to the phone directly.
Cadillac BLS, photo of which is provided above,can boast of excellent technical characteristics. A start is with a description of its powertrains. For this model, manufacturers have developed three gasoline engines with turbocharged supercharging. Of these - two powerful 2-liter power units with 4 cylinders. Their capacity is 175 and 210 liters. from. respectively. A 6-cylinder high-tech power unit with a capacity of 2.8 liters is also available to buyers. He develops a power of 255 liters. from. Its developers also equipped with a turbocharger, and also equipped with a special system for changing the phases of the gas distribution. This motor allows the model to accelerate to 100 km / h in less than 7 seconds.
And in the range of available powertrains there is a new turbocharged "diesel", which is also equipped with a particulate filter. Its volume is 1.9 liters, and the output is 150 liters. from.
Какие ещё имеет Cadillac BLS технические specifications? Separate attention, I would like to note the transmission. This machine can be installed as a “mechanic” (6 or 5 speeds), and “automatic” - it all depends in this case on the selected motor.
Это отдельная тема, которую также стоит отметить attention, talking about Cadillac BLS. Owners reviews describe in detail how good the vehicle is. And all - thanks to the suspension settings. And, of course, steering. With all the turns the car fills easily - without any rolls and drifts. The car is fully subordinate to its owner and the movements of his hands - this is good news.
The machine is equipped with all necessary security systems. And this and the anti-lock braking system ABS and TCS (traction control). There is even a mechanical brake booster.
After the first release of this machine, specialistsCompanies began to work hard to create a sports version of the Cadillac BLS. Many people are true connoisseurs of sports driving. So after a while the sports version appeared in sales.
What people leave about the sports versionCadillac BLS reviews? Cons, perhaps, are present, but the owners of this car do not mention them. On the contrary, only improvements are noticeable. Pleases compacted suspension (which was also decided to understate) and 18-inch wheels. There were still low-profile tires and special interior trim - everything was done in a sporty, original style. Wood inserts were missing - they were replaced with lining made of polished aluminum. The usual steering wheel also disappeared - a “sport” steering wheel took its place.
The most powerful version is the model BLS 2.8 MT.255 horsepower produced by the engine, rattling under the hood of this model, explain everything. And the maximum speed is impressive - 250 km / h. Moderate consumption - 10.2 liters in the city. And acceleration to “hundred” - less than 7 seconds. The best indicator of all versions! True, it was published only until 2009. As a matter of fact, like the other versions.
In general, motorists who ownThis model is claimed to be worthwhile. First, it stands out from the crowd. Secondly - it has excellent dynamic performance and excellent transmission (whichever version is purchased). The cabin has excellent sound insulation and decent “music”. Low consumption, cheap MOT, good adaptive light, comfortable suspension - this is just a short list of features that people who own this car notice.
And what breakdowns?In general, if you follow the car, do it in time and maintain it carefully, then it will last for a long time. The only thing if problems happen to the timing chain, it is better to solve them immediately. Do not pull. The timing of replacing the timing chain on the Cadillac BLS is small, so it’s best to contact the service immediately.
And finally, about the price.The new model cost about 900,000 - 1,190,000 rubles. However, since the issue is completed, it is now possible only to purchase the used version. It will be much cheaper - about 500-600 thousand. Only deciding to purchase a used model, it is important to pre-take it to the service station for a technical inspection - so as not to buy a car with obvious damage and breakdowns.
