00:00Welcome to the video from the Car Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:23Today, it's all about the 2025 Kadalik CT50T.
00:26You can find the link to read the article in our magazine in the video description.
00:34The Kadalik CT5050T combines the brand's long-standing tradition with modern design and technology.
00:42Once known for luxurious sedans with eye-catching chrome details and a softly sprung ride,
00:47the brand now presents itself with a sportier approach.
00:53The CT5 is a midsize luxury car that is characterized by attractive features and good value for
00:57money.
01:00The CT5 shows what it can do, especially in the Sport EV series, with precise handling
01:05and a powerful 360-horsepower six-cylinder biturbo engine.
01:11The entry-level version, on the other hand, equipped with a 237-horsepower four-cylinder
01:16turbo, offers only average performance and rather unimpressive driving characteristics.
01:23For real driving enthusiasts, the CT5V Blackwing with an impressive six horsepower is a real
01:28option, although this model is considered separately.
01:32The CT5 will receive a comprehensive facelift for the 2025 model year.
01:39The revised front end with a new grille unit and revised LED lighting elements give the
01:42car a modern appearance.
01:46The new 33-inch curved touch-screen display, which extends across the entire width of the
01:50dashboard, is particularly striking.
01:54It not only looks futuristic, but also houses Cadalic's latest Google-based infotainment technology.
02:02Additional innovations include an active blind spot assistance system, a traffic sign recognition
02:07system, a driver attention monitoring system and an improved automated emergency braking system,
02:12which ensures safety, especially at intersections.
02:17A 5G Wi-Fi hotspot and an optional AKG premium sound system underline the technological advances.
02:25Two new paint finishes have also been introduced, Deep Space Metallic and Typhoon Metallic.
02:32For buyers who value comfort, variants such as the premium luxury trim are recommended, which
02:36is equipped with, among other things, heated and ventilated seats with massage function,
02:41a panoramic roof, a heated steering wheel and GM's super-coup system.
02:47Those who prefer sporty driving characteristics should take a look at the Connecticut 5V variant,
02:52which can keep up with European competitors in its class such as the BMW 3 Series or the
02:57Alfa Romeo Giulia.
02:59In terms of engine, there are two main options.
03:03A 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 237 horsepower and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder biturbo, which
03:09is available in two output levels, 335 horsepower and 360 horsepower.
03:17The V Series in particular benefits from an adaptive damper system and an electronically controlled
03:21limited-slip differential.
03:23Rear-wheel drive is standard.
03:25All-wheel drive is also available as an option.
03:28The CT5's acceleration figures are impressive.
03:32The four-cylinder engine needs 6.6 seconds to reach 100 kilometers per hour, while the
03:37Connecticut 5V with its six-cylinder only needs 4.8 seconds.
03:43Power is always transmitted via a 10-speed automatic transmission.
03:47In terms of efficiency, the CT5 offers solid figures.
03:51The EPA claims that the four-cylinder engine can achieve up to 23 miles per gallon in city
03:55driving, while the six-cylinder is rated at 19 miles per gallon.
04:00On the highway, the CT5 can achieve up to 27 miles per gallon.
04:05Our tests with the Sport variant showed an impressive fuel consumption of 31 miles per
04:09gallon at a steady 75 kilometers per hour.
04:14The interior of the CT5 offers a well-thought-out design, even if the choice of materials could
04:18be improved in some areas.
04:22The combination of exposed wood and plastic sometimes feels inconsistent.
04:27The amount of space, on the other hand, is impressive.
04:29In the trunk in particular, the CT5 offers significantly more legroom than the competition
04:34from BMW and Alfa Romeo.
04:37The trunk can accommodate five carry-on bags, even if it offers less storage space than the
04:41competition.
04:43The infotainment system of the CT5 is in a class of its own.
04:47The huge touch screen is intuitive to use and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
04:53Wireless charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot are also standard features.
04:59In terms of driver assistance systems, the CT5 impresses with a variety of functions, including
05:04emergency braking assistant, lane keeping assistant and the optional supercruise technology, which
05:09enables almost autonomous driving on most motorways.
05:13Finally, the CT5 also impresses with its warranty, which surpasses the European competition in
05:20some areas.
05:22The longer powertrain warranty is particularly positive.
