For those who go by exterior specs, the Cadillac CT4 is extra just like a BMW 3 Collection or Mercedes C-Class. Nevertheless, in the event you go by inside area (or worth), it is extra like a Mercedes A-Class or BMW 2 Collection Gran Coupe. That is positively true of the trunk, which measures a rinky-dink 10.9 cubic ft, in keeping with GM’s specs. That quantity is what you’d count on in a small luxurious coupe relatively than a sedan. Certainly, the outdated ATS Coupe had 10.4 cubic ft.
Nonetheless, the CT4 is someway not the smallest within the section. That might be the A-Class and its 8.9-cubic-foot trunk. Good grief. Now, Mercedes has been recognized to shortchange its cargo capability numbers so we’ll must baggage take a look at that in some unspecified time in the future to know for positive. Right now, let’s examine if the CT4 is in line with that 10.9 quantity. Additionally, how a lot worse is it than the additionally rinky-dink CT5 trunk or the overly optimistic 2 Collection Gran Coupe?
Yep, that appears fairly small. Additionally, observe the bizarre rail-like issues that hampered the CT5 (under proper) are additionally current right here within the CT4 (under left). There’s additionally the same lip to clear for the folding again seat, however the CT4’s opening appears larger.
As in each baggage take a look at I do, I exploit two midsize curler suitcases that might must be checked in on the airport (26 inches lengthy, 16 huge, 11 deep), two roll-aboard suitcases that simply barely match within the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller roll-aboard that matches simply (23L x 15W x 10D). I additionally embody my spouse’s fancy in a single day bag simply to spruce issues up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).
All however the greatest bag match, which is precisely the identical quantity that might match within the CT5. Because the under picture exhibits, the larger automotive has only a bit more room left over. Perhaps for a pair of grocery luggage. That might be in keeping with the distinction in cubic ft: 11.9 cubic ft versus 10.9.
What concerning the BMW 2 Collection Gran Coupe? BMW says it has 15.1 cubic ft of area, but it surely would not. No less than not utilizing the identical measurement standards that the overwhelming majority of different producers use. It can carry the most important bag, however it might nonetheless want to go away the flamboyant bag behind. That is additionally whereas using the two GC’s ample under-floor storage compartment.
As such, the CT4 does certainly have a small trunk, but it surely’s not less than in line with its rivals. The CT5 can not say that, no matter which section you examine it to.
Sadly for the CT4, although, the story doesn’t cease right here. After I popped the trunk, the goose-neck hinge got here out past the mouse-fur-covered trunk lining. Each time. Not good.
