It’s simple. Just order it with every single option you want. If I lived in the south I wouldn’t want heated seats so I wouldn’t order them. I don’t understand why people get pissed off if something is or isn’t “standard”. What is the big deal? We always look at every single package or option in detail so we are informed and then simply order the vehicle to our exact specs and colour.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who worries about scratching their Twinkies

I love your reviews!!! I love the brake lights too!!! I’m so excited for the review on the new Escalade!!!

Joe, thanks for always letting us hear the engine sounds. So important! (Only car guys understand this!) That's a great vehicle. So many SUV's these days are overdone and gaudy at the front, but the XT4 is sweet, streamlined, simplicity. And like almost all Cadillacs it will still look new/relevant/still in-style many years from now. Even I, a true Ford man, love Cadillac vehicles. Thanks for all your great work, Joe, for bringing all this information out for us.

I love the way he tells you how many Twinkies will fit. I have a perfect visual. Love this guy

I agree that at the price point, the XT4 should have some kind of moonroof or something. A base Acura RDX can be had for less money and has a panoramic roof and heated front seats standard. Who knows, I might go the way of the Mazda CX5 to save some moolah. Plus, it's more premium nowadays and that savings can get me a lot of Twinkies.

Our base model (Luxury) XT4 has heated seats. We've owned ours for 6 months now. I love this car! Never asking for more power on highway or street. It is great in the Canadian snow too. Very Smooth luxury ride. Steering is a little numb, but that's most cars now with electric handling. Apple Car play is great and buttons are easy to find and use. Best looking Crossover out there. Highly recommend this car!!! I find myself picking this car to drive (my wife's) over my '14 Audi S4.

Other than that, love this car. Very happy with purchase.

Cold weather package includes heated seats (all 4) and heated steering wheel for 850 bucks more, across all trim levels. I would like to see it standard at this level also.

This vehicle has a feature on the key fob where you can start the car before entering it to warm or cool the inside cabin depending on what the climate level is set on. The suv is locked and it is not on all the way, you press push start once you are inside. I like that feature.

Car is great! BTW, FL road condition is amazing!

The heated seats are in the Cadillac cue system when you go into climate. Honestly I think Cadillac has grown into the 21st Century and I'm grateful for that. But in my honest opinion I don't think that cadillacs are meant for sporty Driving dynamics. This is a car for weekend comfort 🤷🏽‍♂️. I don't even think it's an everyday driver's car. But over all nothing that I'm saying is law its just my opinion Cadillac is not only an iconic sex symbol of a classic luxury car it's a great overall luxury value.

I love the twinkie references for size/scale but I hope Joe adds a golf bag for the trunk. Whenever he's showing the trunk space it'd be sweet to see that.

Although there were a lot of silly zonks especially the lack of heated seats. I think and hope it will sell well for Cadillac. I think it will being a small cross over suv for the brand.

Very nice. I love it.

FYI heated seats. I live in Phoenix and I have seats that cool. I love my new XT4.

Best GM interior I've seen in a while. But that's not really saying much about them... 2021 needs to be the year for GM 😂 Great vid, Joe!

Very good points my friend!

FWIW, I think there should be a sport black trim package with loud exhaust and a luxury chrome trim package with quiet exhaust. Sure, I love the HP but give me refinement, too.

I own the same XT4 Sport that you reviewed and think it is a great little SUV, I love the styling and the interior design and layout. My only gripe is the noise level of the 2.0 Turbo engine. The harder you accelerate, the noisier it is. My dealer says this is normal so it's something I have to get used to. Other than that, I'm impressed with the XT4.

Hey there Joe, very good video review... but I noticed you didn't answer the question you posed in the title. So.. in your opinion, is the Cadillac XT4 merely a 'good' luxury crossover SUV or is it 'great'? I'm leaning toward calling it 'good', but in need of a lot of improvement!

Joe, when are you going to review the 2021 XT4 & XT5?

The Sport is the top model and heated and ventilated seats are available in additional packages. Red interior would look good with that color. Thanks for the review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

It jerks and when you hit a bump you really do feel it. It's a rough ride, unless of course, you are driving on smooth clear roads like the one in the video.

The RDX advanced would have cost me more and it was not at the same level as the X3. You can get decent discounts on BMW's. I got 7K off and paid 47K fully loaded.

DaveA441 , the 2020 “350 T” badging has a meaning. It is the engine torque in Newton-meters from 1400-4000 rpm. That’s what you feel when you punch it and the 9-speed does its thing to keep you accelerating in the flat torque range. This gear head chuckled when I figured what it meant. I think it is a subtle touch not everyone will appreciate. It may be unique in the industry. I haven’t researched that. Just took delivery of double black Sport with Cadillac discount and financing promo. It is my wife’s driver. I drive a double black 2017 Camaro rs. Side by side in our garage there is a striking family resemblance in the styling. They could have come from the same studio. FWIW: We are both in our mid 70’s. I was a GM engineer in the mid 1960’s. My wife drove my ‘64 GTO while I was in the military from 1968 until we bought a 455 ‘70 GTO.
