Is the 2024 Cadillac XT4 the BEST new compact luxury sport SUV to BUY?

FIRST DRIVE: The XT4 gets some BIG changes for 2024 from Cadillac. On the outside you will discover a new grill, front fascia, lighting and wheels. On the inside you will be greeted by over 30in of screen and leather interior. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Loved the xt4 until I heard the 57K pricetag... Major zonk....

[@HiiImChris]

Currently, there are multiple, but just to share one, 2024 XT4's near me for less than 40k. Used, w 129 miles, 35.9k New, 7 miles, 37k

[@HeyMavDak]

From $37,895

[@HOTPLATEGAMING]

When you start added options and packages a car will get expensive

[@kenfrankel3498]

Major zonk indeed. NX350H has much more to recommend for similar $

[@johndixon9551]

Looks nice but Major Zonk @ 57k, My 2024 Audi Q3 45 TSI premium Black optic 43.5k.

[@davidp2888]

The way Cadillac designs their lights is really unique. The way the front lights form the waterfall make the vehicle stand out.

[@mikemozier4187]

Not bad but certainly not an almost $60,000 vehicle, 235hp 4cyl for that price is insane. I'm sure the resale is awful. I like it but there is absolutely no value proposition in this. I'll buy a 2024 XT4 in 2026 still under factory warranty for $22,000.

[@jackd232]

maybe not, I guess it will drop 55% of it's msrp on the entry Luxury trim but not this fully loaded sport trim, probably still over 32k.

[@allyouget320]

Not, I have a 2019 xt4 and they are still priced high and I was offered 38,000 for it towards a trade in.

[@richroggio]

Joe, I'm really digging that new XT4 with the wiper tucked under the rear spoiler and I dig the interior also 👍

[@user-unionwrestling]

Say what you will, and I'm not saying this looks like the first Gen Ford edge, but it has that boxy first Gen Ford edge look and it works well! Other than the beautiful LCD display, the interior isn't premium enough when you compare it to say a Genesis GV70 ! If I'm going to spend almost 60k on a small SUV, there are more appealing options! As always brother Joe, thanks for bringing us that 🔥!

[@LuisUrbieta]

Hi Apostles Joe, I really love the Cadillac XT4 Sport & I do like the red color on the SUV. Now I do like the fake corner vents & I'll keep on saying it. It gives it style as to a plain & boring corner of the bumpers.

With an SUV, I love having a built in cover for what I may be carrying in back. Minor point to some but I like having it included like it is here.

Happy Sunday

[@HiiImChris]

I agree with about 95% on you on opinions, or can at least see why you may like or not like something. But disliking the "non functional vents" on the front around the lights was silly. I don't think every single accent, trim, or stylistic choice has to be functional. The black around the light at the bottom is done tastefully, if you put lighting there it would be way too busy. You can have tasteful contrast

[@bryanwashington9511]

This is a pretty neat looking Cadillac!

[@jfscotch]

Must have been a helluva St. Paddy's Day, a great JUBE! Great review, Joe! 57K and no spare tire. Do better, Cadillac. That is terrible. You are a luxury brand and have no spare whatsoever, not even a donut spare. Thanks for throwing in the air pump though. I'll use it to inflate my basketballs.

Rented one the other day in TX and really liked it. As a Lincoln Nautilus owner with the V6 Twin Turbo Eco Boost with 335 HP this little Caddy with the 4 cyl turbo handled extremely well with decent acceleration to keep up with the traffic on I -35.

I got the 24 XT4 Sport in black. Spec'd same as this one. I absolutely love it!

[@Jcruzer70]

A sub like this with limited towing and seating capacity, regardless of how upscale it is, should be no more than $38k. The car market is still out of its mind. Obviously, this is a higher trim with more than a few options, but that still doesn't justify the high price tag.

[@Steve23-392]

Great review , always like Caddy definitely a great ride ; but still diggin the Lincoln Nautilus and all of its tech features and bling

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Yes of course Joe & this Caddy is my daily.

[@andrekleyn727]

I just watched your review. Where I'm living, no Cadillac's here. But the overall execution of internal design, materials used does impress me. The outside design is spot on. Judging by how it drives I'm very impressed. This kind of power delivery suites my driving style to a T. I can easily live with this particular car 🕺🥂

[@Jack.Smith80]

[@scottpeavey5464]

Love that red!

[@stevenangelo737]

Joe I think the XT4 got the perfect refresh to the exterior (still looks fresh) and more so to the interior with the brand new cockpit. Joe I read some reviews that the noise level inside the cabin was a bit much compared to some of the competition, what do you think? Also with GM announcing that they'll be bringing some plug in hybrids back to North America do you think the XT4 might be a candidate to receive a PHEV? Also once again a great job by you and Lori.

[@smooth37]

That navigation screen is nice. Not a bad looking vehicle.

[@tedunguent156]

Yes, that Newton-meter torque number (350T) sounds more impressive than the 258 lb-ft but I agree with you Joe that it is silly marketing nonsense. Which is why I always refer to my "little buddy" in centimeters instead of inches. Talk about inflation.

[@RaitisRides]

This new XT4 looks awesome

[@tag886]

my friend has had the XT4 for about 6 months and loves it. he paid about $45k. it's not the sport version but it has everything you want in it. i love the humungous screen inside. i have the RDX and the new XT4 interior blows away my interior. one major zonk is the XT4 cupholders. i don't like cupholders right next to the gear shifter and other electronics. the RDX has them set back and away from them. i think Raiti reviews should focus on the cupholders in each vehicle. what if you or your passenger spills something - i'd imagine you can really have a major electronics disaster. otherwise, always enjoying watching these videos, you do a great job consistently!

[@flexor212000]

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

This is a really nice small SUV, sad it doesn't come with Supercruise in the beginning but may be available fall of 2024, the new 2024 Buick Envision (coming out this fall) will also have Supercruise as an option and is said to be almost like the Cadillac in looks.

You initially said the infotainment system is 38” and then later in the video review, you said it’s over 30”. It’s actually a 33” screen.

Super nice vehicle, well done Caddy! Only thing I'd like to see is some more horsepower 🐎

[@manjoguy]

I have a 2020 XT4 Sport (bought at a Cadillac dealer as a previous loaner car with 4400K miles)) and absolutely love it!!! Very low-maintenance - at 72K miles right now just oil changes and tire rotations! And, yes! Regular gas since the start (and on interstate travel sometimes the fuel-mileage indicator has shown 33.1 MPGs). I have just ordered the 2024 Sport. My only disappointment in the purchasing experience is that my Cadillac dealer told me in no uncertain terms that the purchase is MSRP-only (and that any "negotiation" is with my trade-in). I don't understand why Cadillac would do this especially since that MSRP is higher than any comparable vehicle...and they won't negotiate?!! My 2020 had Bose speakers which were fantastic (I'm hoping the AKG sound system will be as spectacular). The radio in the 2020 was disappointing - AM reception is AWFUL and I was hoping that the 2024 would have direct station-tuning. I have been very pleased with the My Cadillac app, remote start and the connectivity services GM offers. Tech phone support for the infotainment system is phenomenal!!! I'll update this as soon as I have the keys to my new XT4, but it appears that Cadillac, you definitely have a winner here!
