2020 Cadillac XT6: FULL REVIEW + DRIVE | More Than a Plus-Sized XT5??

[@MrShanester77]

This is by far---- the best car review channel on the internet! The level of detail, explanations, video shots, and overall professionalism is absolutely incredible! The Cadillac brand needed this XT6, it took way to long to get this size out in the marketplace.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks for the kind words!! We really appreciate the support! 😀

I just picked up my 2022 XT6 Premium Luxury last week and I couldn't be happier with it! Terrific looking and functional, great space and comfort, reasonably priced for it's segment, great tech and safety features, plenty of power and a smooth ride! It's my first domestic US car brand purchase in 20 years.

[@MattsCarsMusic]

I like the Cadillac XT6 but it doesn't seem to wow me at all, but the new Lincoln Aviator is probably gonna be a hit for Ford and Lincoln. The review was great as always.

[@cruzechevy3485]

[@carmellatte71]

Food on the road dead...FORD...NO THANK YOU...Like the Jaguar...beautiful and always broke down....

[@alexgalarza6908]

Um you can't compare this car to the aviator its not a fair comparison

[@clintwalker2659]

9:28 The most in sync, cleanest gauge sweep I’ve ever seen in my life. Cadillac took their time with the details. These gauges are also very good looking, clear and easy to read even on camera. I love the simplistic take Cadillac has on luxury. Improved CUE system, improved transmission, no complicated turbocharged crap. Refinement, design and technology is luxury and Cadillac understands that. Bravo!

[@01gtbdaily30]

My grandparents used to own a Cadillac when I was young . I had a few friends who bought the first generation CTS and I thought they were cheap looking and had no features. For these reasons they weren’t a car brand on my radar. Recently I found myself looking for a new family sedan. Made a few stops at the usual places and then the salesman showed me a 2016 Cadillac CTS 4 luxury package. I was hesitant to even look but I was very pleasantly surprised about the whole experience . Definitely if you’re looking for a new car I wouldn’t pass them up just based on your previous experiences . I sure do like my CTS4 and highly recommend it.

[@nicholaslin1630]

In entry trim for both Cadillac and Lincoln the price points are significantly lower than the German competition. Thus a mid-spec or higher version of both brands should be considered in any comparison test. And this is true also for comparing these two against any of the Asian brands.

[@davis6123]

Cadillac have done really good job on this one

[@amininshassi6370]

@Russell _747 I wouldn't say that. The tacked on screen, the boring looking gauge cluster, and the seat controls that are not very easy to use seem to be the downsides of the Aviator. Is the Lincoln Aviator impressive? Absolutely, but not more impressive than the Cadillac XT6. It really comes down to personal preference.

[@N1CK512]

This looks soooo good The back reminds me of the telluride a little bit. BEAUTIFUL INTERIOR AND ENGINE SOUND

[@cad1llacstatus]

[@Jaymac720]

Cad1llac Status it’s front wheel drive. The German competitors and Lincoln Aviator are RWD so they can have a lot more power

[@JTL-uv6cm]

DC it couldn’t handle the engine. That’s the problem with many fwd vehicles.

[@jmoore4156]

I agree! That's the biggest problem with the XT6! It's using the same old corporate NA V6 found in almost everything from GM! I don't understand why they didn't use one of their exclusive engines to set the XT6 apart from the rest of GM's mainstream SUVs! Besides styling and the Super Cruise tech, there's not enough the XT6 has to offer that justifies its premium over a comparable Acadia or Traverse!

[@JTL-uv6cm]

J Moore It’s because it’s on a front wheel drive platform. The xt6 wouldn’t be able to handle the other Cadillac engines.

[@larrycalloway1724]

Awesome detail on your video ☺️🤟🏽

[@dtay8913]

[@chiefpiatti]

Have 600+ miles on my Premium XT6. Regardless of your auto preference, it makes a bold statement sitting in my driveway. Wife loves it, so life is good. One point -- the Surround Vision Recorder SanDisk slot is not behind the glove box as shown in the Owners Manual. The slot is underneath the center console.

[@rmonroe135]

This Caddy is very nice, but kinda unremarkable compared to its German competition.

[@Jaymac720]

Even against the Aviator it’s not that great. It’s definitely better than the RX-L, MDX, and QX60 though for FWD entries

[@mak450]

...but what's remarkable about the german competition? I completely forgot the Audi even exists. I can't remember the last time I saw one, maybe because they're so nondescript. The only time I even hear it being discussed these days is in reference to the XT6.

franz wetrfres GM lifers are not risk takers, they are paycheck collectors

[@hellkitty1014]

Great job guys! I was not a fan of the XT6 originally. But that has changed now that I see it in Cadillac's Crimson Red. It just shows it way better than the black and silver versions I've seen previously. People keep harping on the interior, but this competes with an MDX, RX-L, and other marques. Their base interiors are not exactly ground-breaking. And then there is the Aviator people keep referring to. Yes, it may be faster(though as we've seen with the Nautilus 2.7T, the GM 3.6 keeps up with it), but you have to pay $15-$20k over this for the versions are seen at the auto shows, and definitely $85k+ for that hybrid model, which will never find homes because people simply will not buy it over the Germans of the same price. I think Cadillac played it safe and will be rewarded by the buying public. For the audacious and daring styling, that is what the Escalade will be for.

@@Kenneybrock That's your opinion, i feel the same way about the Aviators, and Navigator interior, including those tacky infotainment systems, it look like a tablet glued onto the dash.

[@Kenneybrock]

@Terry Dixon - To be clear, I was offering MY opinion which did not include any preference for the Aviator. I also prefer the integrated infotainment screen and hate the stuck on tablet look of the Navigator, Aviator, and Mercedes C class vehicles but that doesn't make the XT6 interior any less boring. All that said, the BMW X5 and the Audi Q7 offer a NON-BORING, luxury level interior even WITH the non-integrated infotainment screen.

[@jmoore4156]

@@gaddyify I personally find the design to be a bit boring, especially compared to the newest Audi and Mercedes interiors. I feel the same way about the CT6.

I give them credit for finally starting to step up their game!

Hi, do you know if this Caddy has an electronic brake hold feature? Didn't see a button for it, but maybe its in the infotainment settings or something. Thanks.

[@Kenneybrock]

Nice review, but it's definitely the millennial version of "luxury". This Cadillac doesn't offer much you won't find in a well equipped Chevy Traverse and they mention you don't feel any bumps, yet you can hear the car going over bumps as their bodies visibly move and react to the bump they just drove over. This car, along with most "luxury" cars produced today are really "luxury sport". A car designed to compete on the Autobahn with tight steering and suspension, even though most of these cars are driven in the US with crumbling roads and C grade infrastructure. It'd be great if manufacturers returned to making REAL luxury cars separate from their sports cars for people who want to commute back and forth to work and on family vacations WITHOUT feeling EVERY expansion joint in the road.

[@ms3173]

Yes this is correct!

[@jmoore4156]

Very true! I can appreciate good suspension and chassis engineering, which enables good handling. But in a luxury car application, those things needs to be tuned to deliver a comfortable driving experience. Even cars like CT6 and new LS are being flagged for having a bit too harsh of a ride!

The interior is way too black and not luxurious for this day and age. GM could get away with that interior in 2012 but not today. A damn Kia telluride has a nicer interior. GM needs to start offering a more premium audio option except Bose only. Bose on a Chevy and cadillac doesn’t allow cadillac to have an exclusive luxurious image. They need to offer bowers and Wilkins or Bang and Olufsen. Their overall interior needs to be redone. They need diamond quilted seats and diamond quilted leather on the doors. They need full metal buttons and more genuine wood. They should offer headed and cooled massaging seats as in option in the 2nd row. Also their engine should be upgraded. This car is below a half ass attempt in this segment. As a cadillac owner, if I was in the market looking for a crossover I’d go with the Lincoln aviator hands down. I’m extremely concerned about the next Escalade.

[@bjlilbbobby]

Even Ford's Platinum and Titanium models have Bang and Olufsen systems.
