I owned a 2019 and what a huge turd gm in general has been a let down. This xt4 is supposed be be a Cadillac but rides horrible it's super loud road noise and I even paid for the gm bs underbody coating that's is supposed to deaden the road nope. The adaptive cruise never worked i even tried just letting it get right on my friends bumper hoping it would slow down like it was supposed to. Gm is trash stick with Mopar, japanese or Tesla (which is what we traded for. We wished they had a model Y available at the time but that was a year out when we were looking to trade. But still a model 3 does everything this thing without having to pay out the ass for premium gas. My fill up is like $20 a month vs $300 I was spending before in just gas. Cadillac needs to find it's way again also cheap plastics everywhere

To be fair, aren’t there significantly more Cadillac dealerships in the US than any of the Germans or Japanese brands I mean, you’ll even find dealers in very rural areas across the Midwest. Considering these are reasonably priced, it’s not that surprising to see that it outsells other subcompact luxury SUVs when there’s far more places you can buy them. But when you look at the sales volume for 2023 divided by the number of US dealers, it’s honestly not selling that much more than competitors like the description suggests. In fact, I’d say the reason it outsells the Germans is solely because there’s more places you can buy one and get it serviced for most of the population, not necessarily because it’s a better vehicle than what the competition offers.

Better interior Are we looking at the same video or is this just a GM-sponsored review Outside of the awkwardly huge screen, the interior looks straight out of 2014 -- ye olde goat leg style shifter clad in piano black, a control puck (why you have an enormous touchscreen, door handles that look like they haven't been redesigned since 1998, and even the super-cheapo looking faux-metal trim on doors that used to be all the rage. I mean, happy for GM that these are being moved but is that not just because of other things like incentives

Man Cadillac knocked it out of the park with that interior, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully they improved the driving dynamics cos the last one I drove was not all that good to drive. Also a little disappointed about no hybrid system, the XC40and UX are my favorite due to their hybrid system, I love the idea of driving a luxury vehicle and getting well above 35mpg, if the caddy had a hybrid system. Unfortunately the UX is too small. It would shoot to the top of the segment imo

I have friends and family who have every single brand and type of car / suv but I have yet to meet someone with one of the Cadillac vehicle. For some reason all of the reviewers love these cars but I don’t see it translating to real world population preference . Also the Cadillac naming scheme is confusing. XT4 CTS CTSV. It’s just random letters throwing together. And subjectively I have to say Cadillac exterior design language is mehhh at best

I drove an XT4 2 tears ago. Im sorry, but unless its changed dramatically since then, I totally and completely disagree. Compared to the Germans, it drove horribly. The ride was discombobulated, the handling was significantly torpid, and the power was meh. Cheapness abounded in the interior look and feel. Again, it might have been updated since then, but the one I drove stunk.

Cadillac designs are always classic and always classy! The GLA ad GLB interiors are too ostentation. The NX is too plain. The MCR upgrades are superb! I'd get this, but the new Buick Envision Avenir comes out this summer and it has the same power train as the XT4 and more standard features that are options on the XT 4. But the XT4 is awfully tempting.

I don’t see the love and buyers don’t seem to either. GM sold a whopping 1, 700 of them last month. It’s underpowered but doesn’t make up for it with gas mileage. It looks the part until it doesn’t. The hatch is a hazard to a 6’ person but will hit an open garage door. I don’t find the dash either attractive or tech desirable.

Beautiful car. Seeing the Germans straying away from nice designs and quality cars makes me more interested in Cadillac. Cadillac has been bucking conventional wisdom and have actually improved their quality, technology, and performance. I would definitely take this over any German or Genesis.

Recently had a 2023 XT4 as an airport rental for a road trip vacation.
I was stunned at how good the XT4 is.
Good handling, features and gas economy, the only negative, in my opinion was the slightly small trunk.
If your in the market, definitely shortlist for a road test

The XT4 is definitely a compact in my mind. The owner of a local restaurant that's one of my haunts has a dark gray XT4. He loves that darn thing. He's had 3 XT4s in a row (business leases. It is a strikingly handsome SUV. So, I'd definitely prefer the XT4 over the competition

I know reviewers like to talk about the benefits of all-wheel drive in snowy environments but unless you're on very steep inclines, front wheel does just fine. You really only need to care about the all-wheel drive options when the car is a rear-wheel drive architecture.

Now, if GM can only make the car well enough so that you don’t have to spend weeks without it while it is getting repaired under warranty - our recent, and last, Cadillac spent over 4 weeks in the shop for various repairs during our 3 year lease - never again!

Maybe I'm getting old (hehe, but that huge screen is an enormous turnoff for me. The XT4 has a sharp exterior and looks to be a good value in this pricey segment. For me, though, I'd be shopping a 2021-23 model to avoid that monstrosity!

On the seat back at 14: 14, that’s the Cadillac Chevron which was introduced in the form shown in the 1950 Cadillac logo just below the Caddy’s Shield. Before that the 1940’s logo was more a V shaped mark below the Cadillac Shield.

Without a doubt, I would much prefer this over the NX or UX
This is simply a superior product to both of them in every way
All the fan girls who think Lexus is better than the xt4 just got schooled by facts

It may be nice and all, but where are all of those parts coming from to allow a somewhat decent interior Most likely not the USA. In fact, a recent stroll through my local Cadillac dealer was VERY informative.

After just getting my new X1 m35i a couple of weeks ago, I’m imagine liking much about the XT4 unless I really wanted Cadillac style. It was one of the models I looked at but just falls short in many areas.

It’s nice looking, it’s just has horrible mpg. Cadillac needs a hybrid option. Makes zero sense to drive this around town at 23mpg, when you can get a Lexus with high 30s-low 40s mpg.

I know it's an unpopular opinion but Cadillac and Lincoln have been killing it with their vehicles lately. Thet are by far on my short list of luxury cars.
