Cadillac XT6

Cadillac expands its popular crossover and SUV lineup with today's global debut of the 2020 XT6.

Created to make the most of passengers' time on the road, this all-new three-row crossover centers on a luxurious, adaptable and connected cabin, complemented with responsive handling and a comprehensive suite of standard and available safety technologies.

"The first-ever Cadillac XT6 delivers a compelling blend of spaciousness, safety and convenience features for customers who thrive on doing it all," said Steve Carlisle, Cadillac president. "It joins the all-new XT4, which has soared to the top spot in its segment, our global best-selling XT5 and the iconic Escalade to accelerate the brand's global growth, with a spirit that is uniquely Cadillac."

Every inch of the Cadillac XT6 has been carefully considered and developed to offer a refined, comfortable place to connect and enjoy the ride.

"Every seat is the best seat in the house," said Carlisle. "From luxurious appointments, comfort and convenience to premium sound and technology features, every passenger gets an optimized experience."

Vehicle highlights:

- Cadillac XT6 offers a comprehensive suite of standard and available driver assistance and safety technologies, along with generous cargo capacity.
- The latest Cadillac user experience, with intuitive controls including a rotary controller with new jog functionality.
- Premium Luxury and Sport models offer customers more customized looks with unique exterior and interior distinction.
- Nimble, responsive driving experience, powered by a 3.6L V-6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission, offering up to four selectable driving modes.

Cadillac unveils new XT6 large SUV in Detroit

New US-market SUV is latest addition to firm's expanded SUV line-up - and will be a key model for parent firm GM

Cadillac has launched the new XT6, a large SUV that could prove a key model for troubled parent company GM, at an event ahead of the Detroit motor show.

The new eight-seater sits below the Escalade in the GM brand’s expanded SUV line-up, and takes styling cues from the recently launched XT4 small SUV – a machine that Cadillac does have plans to offer in the European market in the future.

Detroit motor show 2019 - all the news and updates

With the continued rise in popularity of large SUVs in America the XT6, which will be made in Tennessee and go on sale in the Spring, will be of huge importance to Cadillac. The firm's boss, Steve Carlisle, claimed that it will “accelerate the brand’s global growth.”

Parent company GM is undergoing a major restructure, which is set to include the closure of a number of plants with significant job losses. As with Ford, a key part of GM’s strategy is to focus its output for the US market on pick-up trucks (through its Chevrolet brand) and SUVs.

GM also offers Cadillac models in China, and the three-row XT6 would also fit well with the demand for larger SUV models in that country.

The new XT6 is powered by a 3.6-litre 310bhp V6 engine, with a nine-speed automatic gearbox. Standard models will be front-wheel-drive, with AWD available as an option. Sport models will gain an active twin-clutch AWD powertrain, along with an active Continuous Damping Control system.

The interior features an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen, which can be operated with a new-look rotary controller featuring a joystick-style jog function.

Cadillac XT6 AWD Sport 2019 review

Should I buy one?

You won’t be able to buy the XT6 in the UK, but if you’re shopping in the US, its case has been dealt quite a blow by the stylishly palatial Telluride, which costs substantially less and bests the XT6 at almost everything other than extremely bold cornering and rorty revving.

This car is better bought in more comfortable, less urgent Premium Luxury dressing, which is cheaper and more appropriate to its role as comfortable, four-wheel-drive people carrier.

As a measure of where Cadillac is these days, the XT6 is usefully better than the smaller XT4 launched last year, but despite the Sport labelling of this particular version, it’s nowhere near the accomplishment of the exceptional CTS-V of a few years back. The XT6 is instead a decent-enough effort of slightly confused character. And that reflects the still-uncertain 21st century role of its maker.
