Love our 2024 XT4!!

unlike most of the other commenters, i actually own this car and drive it every day. it's a good car, really comfortable and it drives really well. it gives the impression of being a premium vehicle. i love my XT4, it's a good car, but i wish there were a V6 option.

Beautifully put together.

This comment section is a miserable cesspool. Everyone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Why does this need premium? There are turbo 4s that get more power and mpg on regular

In addition to that, all new cars these days have to be able to run perfectly fine on regular by law here in the states, so they could’ve just tested it with regular in the first place.

I rented one last year when I was in Miami, Florida. Very unimpressive.

It's a Cadillac, an XT4 at that, what were you expecting?

What I don't understand is why not either bump up to the larger xt5 or take a sweeter deal on the ct4 if you have to have a Cadillac? I swear the north american auto market is just dumb sometimes.

Other than the CT5V Blackwing, there's not much to be excited about Cadillac these days...It's quite sad to see where Caddy has ended up since the days of the Fleetwood, Coupe de Ville, and Eldorado, to name a few.

No twin turbo 6 no buy. I'll even take a 2.7. But this? Nope. Cadillac still refusing to put a performance engine in their SUV lineup that doesn't cost $150k. Sad.

A bunch of Cadi haters here. Must be F150 loving farmers.

Years ago, I was the first to drive a brand new XT4 as a rental car…I wasn’t impressed. The engine was lawnmower-like, the strut tower made noise when going over bumps or anything that motioned the suspension. This new model hopefully will be a better result.

235hp??? Our 2017 Ford Escape makes 250 hp from 2.0 liters!

Typical cheap GM plastics. Common among all of their offerings.

Cadillac is Escalade….EOS.

Needs the 2.5 turbo from the traverse as an option.

Almost sounds like an AI rendition of John Davis' voice

Wouldn't have One

Like the design, but 235 hp? This engine is a definite step back. It's comes in towards the bottom when compared to its direct competitors. It's as if GM knows the engine is the weak spot so they spent a little more money on the inside to try and fool the public.

XT4 = Fancy Equinox

***/5 they need to upgrade to more HP the engine is too small for this. C/D rates it mid to low of the pack.

235HP in a caddy? Lincoln set that bar low and they didn’t even try to clear it.

So sad, I used to be a GM fan until this gm shit happened. I was expecting a 300hp+ pile, this is going to cost them $$$$

Cadillac discontinued their 2.0T that made 275 horsepower and switched to one that makes 235 🤦🏻‍♂️

Cadillac didn't start anything in 1999. Cadillac reacted to the "start of things"(rebadged a GMC) , which was the 1998 Lincoln Navigator.

With the exception being the latest Escalade, Lincoln and Genesis have been making nicer interiors for some time or at least up to a point. Imo. Otherwise, Cadillac lost market share to the competition years ago.

​@@MercOne No actually. I'd agree with them. You can keep whining and crying for days long gone but the fact is, not many people want a bloated barge from the 1970's. I think Cadillac played a lot of catching up in the 00's, and maybe tripped up on focusing on performance, though the Blackwing is their biggest success I think. I think Cadillac is finding it's niche again with EV's, escpieally with the Lyriq and the Celestiq (even with the Celestiq's heftyyyy price tag). If Cadillac really is as bad as you portray it in your "they're worthless and can't sell a single thing" delusion, they wouldn't get a single car off the lot, which evidently they can do just fine. But after looking at your continued rant's on other comment threads here, you just seem bitter and unhappy. I wish you luck in finding something decent in your life.

@@khalil9611First of all what are you agreeing with? Do you even know what you’re trying to say here? I have to ask if you read because at no point did I say that they couldn’t sell anything. Not once. What I said was that their XT vehicles are nothing products. They lag behind every single competitor in every single class they compete in. This has been proven in review after reviews. Their engines are from Chevy family vehicles, their interiors are cheap junk. Why would anyone buy any XT vehicle over a competing Genesis, Mercedes, BMW or Audi other than price? Trying to cheaply make it about me doesn’t change anything I’ve said. These are pitiful vehicles for the price and for a once proud brand. They’re for people like you and the other poster that go from one extreme to another because there is thinking in place. You guys don’t understand that the best modern luxury vehicles combine decent handling and a good ride. No one said anything about Cadillac needing to offer a floating barge again. What does that have to do with them not being able to offer what the competition offers in the XT space? Do you guys really not understand what being competitive is? Look at the Genesis GV70 or GV80 and then look at the XT vehicles. Get outta here man. Finding their niche again? When was the last time they found a niche and made something out of it? Their EVs don’t stand out in any way. All they have going is the Escalade and the EV version of that if want a 8K lb SUV. Your analysis on both counts is just plain nonsense. Why is it that GM apologists have to project so much when their fav brand is justly criticized? Man pluhhease.

UM..... I Believe LINCOLN started something back in 1998 with the Navigator and Caddy played ugly rebadged (literally) with a Yukon. What a snoozemobile. and premium gas for 235 bhp and 27mpg? Eff that.. gm garbage

Apperantly it is a vehicle Americans want, along with the rest of their lineup. I think it's just you. You seem quite upset enough.

Love the styling, way under powered. If they had made a twin turbo V version maybe id buy it. It is also one of the worst rated for reliability.

Entry level so-called luxury cars are rarely any good.

This is one of my favorite small SUVs. It's nice to see Cadillac finding it's way again after 30+ years of garbage

It’s a GM. I would purchase a Lexus for better quality and reliability.

Bottom line it's just another over glorified box on wheels with a large screen which all the teckno/geek nerds love and want! As for me I want analog gauges that tell me what I want to know at a glance instead of having to scroll through a ridiculous screen whcih takes away attention from the most important thing of keeping one's eyes on the road!

Why are these so slow with no engine upgrades even offered? I've owned two Caddy's - but they've ran me off with them basically abandoning cars for SUV's, plus the pretty generic styling they've had for the last half-decade - where they looked like a Chevy just with a new front end. This one at least looks a little better, and I like the interior, but that performance is awful for anything other than soccer moms.

Not bad, but an Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a better choice.

They are copying Honda's CRV rear end. Still using those cheap, low quality plastics. Just look at how scratched up the plastic on the driver's door is. Cargo space is mediocre. The interior is rather fugly, the shade of tan used in this one doesn't match, a real eye sore. Not smooth all wheel drive, 27mph average is weak, my crv exl awd gets 33mpg. This Cadillac doesn't seem worth the cost. Typical for GM.

The German rivals cost a bit more but you get what you pay for. Cadillacs have always felt cheap. The Escalade V is ridiculously priced. I can build a new loaded Porsche Cayenne Turbo E hybrid for less money and it would absolutely spank an Escalade in every performance test.

Anything that requires constant maintenance to keep on the road is and always is a luxury money pit, hence why most people lease them with including maintenance coverage. I love drivers cars but I also love cars that don’t constantly cost me money the more I drive them. Lest not forget the European car companies weren’t that nice until they had to fight for their lives because of Lexus and Acura since they arrived in the early 90’s.

@@rlhmarines Them being not for me doesn't make the case for them being competitive, unless you're saying that Cadillac is beneath the average luxury car buyer's standards. You'd paid a premium for a better car, that is what a BMW is. Glad you can actually see that. Saying that BMWs were expensive to maintain and unreliable doesn't change the facts that Cadillacs were cheap junk the drove like junk, felt like junk and were unreliable. That doesn't change. The fact that BMW is a alive and thriving today while Cadillac is lost with a lineup of loser vehicles speaks volumes. Doesn't matter if they lease or buy, they're leasing and buying more BMWs then they are Cadillac. Cadillac doesn't even have an answer for most BMWs today behind 2-3 models. I get it, you want a cheap POS like a warmed over Chevy/Buick pretending to be a Cadillac because it's cheap to fix. That is exactly why Cadillac is not taken seriously beyond one model. The Escalade. You are flat wrong about "European" companies. For one they aren't all the same. A Mercedes-Benz was the best car you could buy in the 80s and BMW was the best driving sport wise which is why Lexus, Infiniti and Acura targeted them, NOT Cadillac with their underpowered wheezy V8 FWD heaps. Then the kicker is that even after Lexus, Infiniti and Acura, where are Mercedes and BMW today? TOP of the market. Where is Cadillac? Towards the bottom. Their customers have died and left the brand in droves in the 80's and 90's and they're down to one relevant vehicle, which itself is a variant of a Chevy/GMC. That the Japanese came along and showed the Europeans something does what for Cadillac? Are you paying attention to what you're arguing? BMW and Mercedes sit at the top of the market along with Lexus. Your reason for bringing up the Japanese only shows how pathetic Cadillac was before and it shows how pathetic they are still today. The XT vehicles are junk. The base CT4 and CT5 are nothing cars. None of these vehicles have anything on the competition and the XT vehicles are not better than the Chevy/Buick/GMC vehicles they share all their DNA with. Try again man.
