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

[@davidp2888]

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

[@TheSpeedDemon64]

Radiant Red sure makes this Cadillac XT4 pop!

[@richroj]

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

[@stevenkreiss2113]

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.

[@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.

[@ubertherapy]

Yeah… okay. We’re all sure you were 🤦‍♂️

[@manjoguy]

@@allyouget320 $38K for a 2019?!! How many miles? A dealer-offer as trade or sale to private party? My dealer offered me $18K with 72K miles toward the new 2024.

[@Raptor4fx]

You’re correct, just looked at a 2022 w/48k for $22k at the dealer

[@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.

[@jayh5511]

What great timing. I just test drove one on Saturday and went online this morning to see if you had a recent review of this, just to see that you just uploaded one..

[@SBMC-GOOSE]

Just picked up a 2020 super clean for 27k absolutely love it

[@AllStars2525]

It's $57K because it has everything you can order. I spec one out at $52K offering a lot more value than Audi, BMW, MB, or Lexus. Great review.

[@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.

[@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

[@suzanneflowers2230]

The wheels and lights are beautifully styled. Love the front grille, too. Black, red, and gunmetal colors all complement each other so well.

[@suzanneflowers2230]

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.

[@bryanwashington9511]

This is a pretty neat looking Cadillac!

[@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.

[@sonalmalhotra07]

Lovely car Dear Joe. Awesome. Thanks for the video

[@gregoryhall5544]

Raif’s Rides hit it right on the button. Nice driving experience. The sound system exemplifies Cadillacs quality in this brand. If you like the radiant red, then look at the Emerald Lake Metallic in the full sun.

[@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.

[@Kokomo365]

[@Symon_First]

[@EdgarJChavez]

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.

[@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!

[@stevenkreiss2113]

I'm ok with the gloss black.

[@mrpmj00]

Yep, my 2024 Cadillac XT4 (0-60 in 7 sec) is quicker than my 2014 Toyota Highlander (0-60 in 7.6 sec) that I traded in. XT4 also handles better too. I upgraded from a 2014 Toyota Highlander to a 2024 Cadillac XT4 this past weekend (the 2024 highlander drove the same and is pretty much the same chasis and interior so it's boring). The Cadillac XT4 has no turbo lag that I can feel. Every other car that I test drove had turbo lag, whether short or long...Mercedes GLC300 (least turbo lag), BMW X3 (a little more turbo lag), Porsche Macan S (even more turbo lag), Honda (way too much turbo lag). The Cadillac has these features that KZbinrs miss: - lighted logo behind the dashboard - pulsating safety seat (most cars only beep) - left behind child in the rear seat alert - capless fuel tank (like my 2017 Corvette C7 ) - umbrella storage in the doors (like Rolls Royce) - active noise cancellation (like my 2017 Corvette C7 with Bose) - power passenger seat with lumbar - free 5G hotspot - stop/start feature is the smoothest I’ve ever experienced that I don't even notice it. My other car is a 2017 Corvette Stingray in stickshift.

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.

[@koven1497]

They look nice, but you’d do better buying a Buick Envision with the XT4 chassis. If you plan on buying this, just get the 2025 w/ the tech upgrades.

[@koven1497]

My bad, this is the tech upgraded version 😂

[@le0veronica688]

Does XT4 have the option to equip Supercruise?

[@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]

Incredibly expensive but well designed

[@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!
