If there's one complaint, it's that the second row doesn't slide as far forward for access as in GM's other three-row SUVs. It's more comfortable back there than in the Volvo XC90, Lincoln Aviator and Audi Q7, while the XT6's boxy shape makes things less claustrophobic. There's also under-console storage, but as in other cars, is of negligible use.Ĭadillac prioritized passenger space with the XT6 – even tall adults can fit quite comfortably in the third row. We also like the handy, angled wireless smartphone cubby hidden at the lip of the under-armrest bin, but then the bin forward of the shifter is small, oddly shaped and not grippy, meaning it's next-to-useless. We like the damped sliding cupholder cover, but the cupholders themselves are narrow, shallow and don't hold bottles in place well.
#2021 CADILLAC CROSSOVER ANDROID#
The Cadillac User Experience software is easy enough to use and features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is nice.įinally, interior functionality could be better. The 8-inch touchscreen is well integrated into the dash, but it’s small by today’s standards. Super Cruise impresses (read more about that in the safety section below), but rest of the XT6’s tech suite is merely decent and not the latest-and-greatest Cadillac or General Motors in general has to offer.
But a closer look reveals that there’s a lot of black plastic with obvious moldings, and while the trim of the upper-level Sport model we tested was an interesting carbon fiber-esque pattern, the overall aesthetic wasn’t as luxurious as we’d expect given the XT6’s price (more on that below). The layout is good, most touchpoints are covered in leather or some other quality material, and it’s roomy and comfortable. First, the overall design and materials of the Cadillac XT6 aren’t up to the quality standards of competitors from Acura, Lexus, Lincoln or Volvo. We’re going to break this into a few parts. What are the XT6 interior and in-car technology like? Those changes remain in place for 2024 as well. Last year, the Luxury trim got a standard 8-inch touchscreen, the Premium Luxury and Sport got standard GPS navigation, ventilated front seats and heated outboard rear seats. Some colors disappear, and a few new colors take their place. Interior & Technology | Passenger & Cargo Space | Performance & Fuel Economy What it's like to drive | Pricing & Trim Levels | Crash Ratings & Safety Features What’s new for 2024? Still, with Super Cruise being the one key exception, the XT6’s dour interior furnishings and plain-jane driving dynamics mean it isn’t going to be a top pick in the competitive segment it competes within. None of that, it should be pointed out, makes the Cadillac XT6 a bad vehicle, or even a poor choice for a sizable chunk of the buying public.
Not much has changed since then - a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine was added, a Sport trim was created, and General Motors’ class-leading Super Cruise hands-free driving tech was fitted - leaving the latecomer without a whole lot to make it stand out from the rest of the premium SUV pack. Back in 2020 when this three-row crossover was first introduced, we pointed out that it was quite late to the party. Today, however, the Wreath and Crest-emblemed brand is still reliant on internal combustion vehicles like the 2024 Cadillac XT6. Pricing starts at $43,995.Pros: Super Cruise is great Sport trim really is sporty roomy interior Cons: Uninspiring powertrains small touchscreen mediocre interior storage less cargo space bland designĬadillac, as is the case with several other automakers, has signaled its intent to fully electrify its lineup of cars, crossovers and sport utility vehicles. Cargo room is 30.2 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 63 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors will keep you safe on the road. Top features include 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, power liftgate, remote engine start, proximity keyless entry, CUE infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, eight-speaker Bose audio system, simulated leather upholstery, and power-adjustable, heated front seats. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is an option. It comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, with 235 horsepower and 258 lbs-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The Cadillac XT5 Luxury is loaded with an array of first-class features and is a good base choice in Cadillac’s XT5 trims but it is also limited in its features and single engine choice.
