This is by far---- the best car review channel on the internet! The level of detail, explanations, video shots, and overall professionalism is absolutely incredible! The Cadillac brand needed this XT6, it took way to long to get this size out in the marketplace.

The maple brown sugar interior with the Platinum package is beautiful..
9:28 The most in sync, cleanest gauge sweep I’ve ever seen in my life. Cadillac took their time with the details. These gauges are also very good looking, clear and easy to read even on camera. I love the simplistic take Cadillac has on luxury. Improved CUE system, improved transmission, no complicated turbocharged crap. Refinement, design and technology is luxury and Cadillac understands that. Bravo!
I just picked up my 2022 XT6 Premium Luxury last week and I couldn't be happier with it! Terrific looking and functional, great space and comfort, reasonably priced for it's segment, great tech and safety features, plenty of power and a smooth ride! It's my first domestic US car brand purchase in 20 years.
My grandparents used to own a Cadillac when I was young . I had a few friends who bought the first generation CTS and I thought they were cheap looking and had no features. For these reasons they weren’t a car brand on my radar. Recently I found myself looking for a new family sedan. Made a few stops at the usual places and then the salesman showed me a 2016 Cadillac CTS 4 luxury package. I was hesitant to even look but I was very pleasantly surprised about the whole experience . Definitely if you’re looking for a new car I wouldn’t pass them up just based on your previous experiences . I sure do like my CTS4 and highly recommend it.

In entry trim for both Cadillac and Lincoln the price points are significantly lower than the German competition. Thus a mid-spec or higher version of both brands should be considered in any comparison test. And this is true also for comparing these two against any of the Asian brands.

@Russell _747 I wouldn't say that. The tacked on screen, the boring looking gauge cluster, and the seat controls that are not very easy to use seem to be the downsides of the Aviator. Is the Lincoln Aviator impressive? Absolutely, but not more impressive than the Cadillac XT6. It really comes down to personal preference.
If Cadillac offered the 3.0TT, that would make this vehicle even more impressive.

I agree! That's the biggest problem with the XT6! It's using the same old corporate NA V6 found in almost everything from GM! I don't understand why they didn't use one of their exclusive engines to set the XT6 apart from the rest of GM's mainstream SUVs! Besides styling and the Super Cruise tech, there's not enough the XT6 has to offer that justifies its premium over a comparable Acadia or Traverse!

Wow what a SUV Cadillac you beauty and the review shows everything of this suv......👍👍
This actually looks better than the preproduction model which I didn't expect for it to show as much as it does. I like this but it doesn't have the amenities found in the competition plus for fw drive and aw drive to have the same mileage it's a little disappointing. Overall the design is nice but may not be the best option.
that interior color Mable sugar color . on a Dark Navy Blue Exterior no Chrome but Brushed aluminum dark cooper OR silver ...... man !! my dream like style awesome !! I really like the way that Cadillac looks ..
Great job guys! I was not a fan of the XT6 originally. But that has changed now that I see it in Cadillac's Crimson Red. It just shows it way better than the black and silver versions I've seen previously. People keep harping on the interior, but this competes with an MDX, RX-L, and other marques. Their base interiors are not exactly ground-breaking. And then there is the Aviator people keep referring to. Yes, it may be faster(though as we've seen with the Nautilus 2.7T, the GM 3.6 keeps up with it), but you have to pay $15-$20k over this for the versions are seen at the auto shows, and definitely $85k+ for that hybrid model, which will never find homes because people simply will not buy it over the Germans of the same price. I think Cadillac played it safe and will be rewarded by the buying public. For the audacious and daring styling, that is what the Escalade will be for.

I also prefer the integrated infotainment screen and hate the stuck on tablet look of the Navigator, Aviator, and Mercedes C class vehicles but that doesn't make the XT6 interior any less boring. All that said, the BMW X5 and the Audi Q7 offer a NON-BORING, luxury level interior even WITH the non-integrated infotainment screen.

I give them credit for finally starting to step up their game!

Would love to see a review with the lighter interior...to fully appreciate the luxury interior of the vehicle and also a night review too.
Is there tire and wind noise, or is the cabin quiet?
I like the design, because it's simple. They didn't try too hard to make it look "modern." It almost has a retro boxy design. Plus, I love Cadillac's interior design, as well as those analog gauges. Very nice and simple.
Super Cruise is a must and should be offered at the higher trim!
I can't stand those fake plastic in mostly luxury cars today smh. Miss the actual real luxury wood/feel..
Thoroughly enjoyed this review Drew and Mason 😄, the exterior color is amazing. Though I'm not really a GM guy as I've said, Cadillac did a fantastic job with this crossover.

Really like the interior and exterior design. However, the interior is too monochromatic in black, which diminishes all the design detail Cadillac has in this cabin. Nothing wrong with a little more bright work trim and needs the lighter shale color interior option as well as the maple. Cadillac should offer interior design options like Audi does on their upper tier models.
Am I the only one who thinks the XT6 looks like a jack-o'-lantern? Not a complaint just an observation.

Highlander for cheaper MSRP pricing and better fuel economy along with efficiency. And also has a good reliability rate.
Nice review, but it's definitely the millennial version of "luxury". This Cadillac doesn't offer much you won't find in a well equipped Chevy Traverse and they mention you don't feel any bumps, yet you can hear the car going over bumps as their bodies visibly move and react to the bump they just drove over. This car, along with most "luxury" cars produced today are really "luxury sport". A car designed to compete on the Autobahn with tight steering and suspension, even though most of these cars are driven in the US with crumbling roads and C grade infrastructure. It'd be great if manufacturers returned to making REAL luxury cars separate from their sports cars for people who want to commute back and forth to work and on family vacations WITHOUT feeling EVERY expansion joint in the road.

Not exactly art & science designed kinda playing it safe with this one I guess!? Thank God no tacked on nav screen was penciled in this interior design!
