The 2020 Cadillac XT4 is Surprisingly Sporty

[@mchoch4576]

I just purchased a 2021 model, 20in rims, white with a black leather interior, fully loaded and only two words to describe it LOVE IT, thanks for your video and all the best

[@awright7026]

I'm on my 4t caddy had 2 cars and a xt5 just got my new 2020 xt4 black with black wheels today and was worried since smaller but omg this thing is much faster n moves fantastic. I fell in love with this one more than 2018 xt5 I had. Bravo!!

[@coryw.9086]

Actually was very impressed with the XT4 when I dove one. Really like the styling!

[@desertmike680]

I love the current direction Cadillac is going with their vehicles. The CT4 and 5 are stunning sedans, along with this XT4 and the other CUVs and SUVs look amazing and obviously perform well too. I'll take a new Caddy over anything out of Germany any day.

[@svpracer98]

A journalist praising a GM interior!? BLASPHEMY!!! JK, actually happy someone is recognizing the efforts GM has been putting into their interiors.

[@Zr22022]

I just bought this car in a 2022 version and it is phenomenal gas mileage is great and handles like a sport car

[@chuckgladfelter]

I've had my 2023 XT4 Luxury AWD for a year and one month. No problems at all and my best gas mileage has been 34 on a road trip. It gets 27-28 just driving around locally. It will always get 30 on a trip or better mpgs. I haven't used AWD yet since we had a mild winter. mine has the 18" wheels and rides nicely.

[@rapidrabbit11485]

Hey quick question - are you running 93 octane in it? The manual mentioned that mpg and performance would be worse on anything lower.

[@chuckgladfelter]

@@rapidrabbit11485 I use 88 octane, which around here is E-15 ethanol blend. It may hurt mileage a little (2-3 mpg at the most) but it's a dollar cheaper than premium and is has a little more octane than regular. The book says it's ok to use E-15 blend. If you can't get the ethanol blend, I would use premium, as my car didn't have the power it had before when I tried regular 87.

[@mulenine9867]

nice job, when will you do the corsair ? im looking in this seg for american suv. thanks

[@pira.kathir]

Cant wait for you to get your hands on a CT4-V or Blackwing. Really wanna know how it compares to an ATS 3.6 or V.

[@protovack]

nice video, and its nice to see cadillac making a crossover thats fun to drive. I wouldn't spend 50k for a small crossover, personally.

[@MrFreedom06]

the amount of "nice" mentioned is disturbing, Matt. But overall - a NICE review :)

[@ZACH_95_]

Gotta love the Caddy’s.. Great video as always Matt! 🤙🏻

[@hearingaidguy6980]

I like the back and the front is eh the side profile reminds of me of the Chevy Captiva . I’d rather have the new Audi QS5 .

[@hearingaidguy6980]

We need Beth Driving this in a Bikini to get the views a flowing 😎🤷🏻‍♂️🥳

[@paulwicklund5044]

You look like a real estate agent driving this suv.

[@lyndahammel9502]

Thanks for another good review.

[@BobThe9534]

good afternoon Matt. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c i knew it was going to be good

[@dtay8913]

Hopefully Cadillac can stay in the right direction with the xt4, xt5, and Escalade. The ct4, ct5, and xt6 are in serious need of a revamped interior even though they are new models. GM did great with the exterior and interior materials but the design on those 3 vehicles are meh.

[@BobThe9534]

ur 1st

[@vizio6017]

I currently own a Xt4, my last car was an ATS and I've sat in a CT6. From my personal experience these Cadillac interiors look way nicer in person than they do on a video and the interior in my XT4, ATS & the CT6 are very comfortable.

[@mybro727]

CT4, CT5, and XT6 interiors may be simplistic but they’re luxurious and very comfortable. Not to mention they’re all tech filled and sporty focused, not ultra luxurious. Very soon the interiors found in the Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac Lyriq will trickle down into the rest of the brand’s lineup but in the meantime these interiors are certainly on par with the best from Germany and Japan as it pertains to materials and build quality, categories GM use to trail behind in.

[@Tully3674]

The problem with the XT4 is...the Acura RDX. RDX excels is about every category for much less $$$. Both fully loaded w/ AWD (or SH-AWD), Acura is $7,500 less out the door. Reliability favors the Acura. Love the Caddy's design, but I like the money in my pocket a bit more.

[@ArdenOnAutos]

Completely agree. Plus the RDX can send 70% of the power to the rear and torque-vector, and is a full segment above the XT4. The XT4 kind of makes sense if you are shopping only in the subcompact segment since it is larger, cheaper and still just as sporty as the GLA and the X1/X2, but the RDX is just better overall.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

RDX is a great choice if luxury isn’t a high priority, the RDX definitely feels a good bit less luxurious than the XT4 and the infotainment is more challenging to use.

[@ArdenOnAutos]

Matt Maran Motoring I hear ya. I think the XT4 is solid choice in the subcompact segment. As a buyer I value performance over luxury and would probably go with the RDX or a lightly optioned Stelvio with those awesome column mounted metal paddle shifters

[@Tully3674]

@@MattMaranMotoring Respectfully disagree. I think the Cadillac nameplate subconsciously tells you its more luxurious then the Acura (I found both equally luxurious). As for the infotainment, that's muscle memory after a few days. Though I'd give Cadillac the edge on intuitiveness, II couldn't ignore the $7,500 savings.

[@mybro727]

Acura can not compete with Cadillac’s technology and level of luxury performance. I would pay the $7,500 difference just to have Cadillac’s great tech, superior driving characteristics, and to dodge that horribly outdated infotainment system Honda is still using in the Acura. Yes the infotainment means that much because that’s the way you’re going to interact with your car. The Acura interior also feels cheaper and like an after thought compared to it’s own exterior and the Cadillac XT4 generally. The Acura _should_ cost less because you’re getting less of a luxurious experience.

[@lyndahammel9502]

Kia Sorento is nice and the warranty is better.

[@roberteckstein1009]

Whats better, this or the CX-5 turbo?

[@thegoodman3810]

the nx 300 compete with the xt4 not the ux

[@gbtriumph3216]

I think Car & Driver is decidedly biased against Cadillac...they even said the interior was cheap with rough surfaces! WHAT CAR DID THOSE IDIOTS DRIVE? Find 1 (ONE) online independent review (there are MANY) that gives a thumbs down on the interior. THERE ARE NONE! Everyone else LOVES this XT4 interior. So if C&D MADE THINGS UP for the interior, they VERY LIKELY just pulled a number out of ....somewhere for the speed times. Who paid them to do that? Our XT4 is almost as fast as my 3.6 V6 Camaro. About 6.2 in Camaro...probably 6.8 to 60mph in the XT4. It is surprisingly peppy! Other people have mentioned that it is sportier than expected. I agree with you all. This is an honest review. The ride is more like BMW over bumps. My Camaro is easier over bumps. I think Cadillac is SERIOUSLY going after the German brands with this car. Wheel and tire size choice probably can change the ride and bump reactions considerably. Certainly get nice Bridgestones over the Continentals. Good job on this video, love your enthusiasm!

[@Springbok314]

Maybe a base XT4 via a lease but these vehicles fully optioned are too expensive.

[@JoeSmoe1]

50k for a mini crossover is just stupid. Nice looking car tho

[@BobThe9534]

no

[@ZACH_95_]

Well that’s just for the trim, you can get a luxury trim with awd in the 30’s. It’s not that bad.

[@JoeSmoe1]

@@ZACH_95_ Right! Thats what I mean. But at the $30k price right, Id look at other stuff as well to be honest. Just dont see a need to upgrade all the way into the 50's

[@mfmf100]

Nice car but ambitious pricing. Seems like it’s a bit slow from a stop but better underway.

[@frank12777]

joe smoe I would take a fully loaded Mazda CX-5 over this pos

[@bruschmidt9943]

It has same side mirrors as new Blazers. Too bad Blazers didn't get the LED turn signal & brake lights. Chevy's still holding out on 2021 Blazer models; 3rd production year. Thing is, these were all-new vehicles designed for 2019. Blazer has LED tail light & side marker panel. The designers had to be told to NOT use LEDs in brake/turn combo within same unit for a reason. It was no accident. A reason that has no logic 💩 & makes ZERO sense 🙊

[@Mikek88]

Like the way it looks but overpriced for me. I can get the same engine in a Chevy Malibu.

[@frank12777]

No

[@MrJdog1987]

It needs the corvette v8 lol

[@Xtragicfever]

The XT4 is just a premium Chevy Equinox, a shitty suv in every category.

[@Zr22022]

You couldn't be more wrong sn equinox doesn't even compare to the XT4 I own the XT4 2022 year you need to do your home work you definitely have no clue
