The XT4 is one of the most unique and sharp looking subcompact luxury crossovers on the market today. If appearances were the definition of a brand’s success, the XT4 would push Cadillac to the top of the sales list, but there’s a lot more to consider than skin-deep beauty. The XT4’s price tag and brand name put it squarely in competition with heavy-hitters like the Acura RDX, Audi Q3, BMW X3, and Mercedes-Benz GLA Class. How well does the American stand up? Let’s take a closer look.
There’s no denying it, the XT4 looks great. Its compact dimensions do wonders to accent the sharp and modern styling, which might look austere and stretched on a bigger shape. The littlest Cadillac crossover captures many of the design touches of its larger siblings and does so gracefully. The XT4’s large grille and vertical LED running lights are prominently featured, but everything is proportionate and in balance.
Inside, the clean, modern design continues. A large digital display and an 8-inch infotainment screen are fit neatly into the dash, and only a few buttons line the underside of the screen. The most cluttered part of the XT4’s interior is the steering wheel, which is full of buttons and controls.
The XT4 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels or all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic gearbox. That combination is good enough to make the XT4 feel lively in town and provides enough grunt to pull quickly into traffic, but it’s not potent enough to make the crossover feel legitimately fast.
