Some controls are confusing to use

What's new

Revised feature availability
Part of the first XT4 generation introduced for 2019

Overview

Subcompact luxury SUVs like the XT4 offer upscale feel and features for a relatively affordable price and with a minimalist footprint. At least, most of them do. While the XT4 has a generous amount of space for people and cargo, it was never a standout in its class and 2024 marks the current generation's sixth year on the market. For many vehicles, this would be about the time for a full redesign but Cadillac is sticking with a more modest update this year. The 2024 model's digital dashboard pulls the interior of the XT4 into the modern era, but unfortunately much of the rest of the vehicle still feels outdated.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Cadillac XT4 Luxury 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: New displays and Google-based software

Previously, the XT4 had a traditional dashboard design with a hooded instrument cluster flanked by a separate 8-inch center touchscreen. For 2024, the XT4 has a much more modern-looking setup. The instrument cluster is now fully digital and it's connected to the touchscreen as part of a 33-inch dash-topping display. The interface is new too and features Google built-in. (The unimaginative name and weird capitalization are confusing; the name of the tech is "Google built-in.") The system goes beyond typical smartphone mirroring by integrating Google apps and functions directly into the vehicle, making them accessible even without a paired phone. It allows users to control smart-home devices from the car, download apps to the vehicle through Google Play, and control vehicle functions such as climate control and audio volume with voice control.

Competitors to consider

The compact luxury SUV class is blazing hot right now, with brands from Acura to Volvo fielding entries. Many of the Cadillac's competitors ride better, have smoother and more powerful engines, and boast richer-feeling interior materials. Our favorites in this segment are the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA and GLB, and Volvo XC40.

Which XT4 does Edmunds recommend?

It's not so much the additional standard equipment that makes the midlevel Premium Luxury our pick as it is the option packages that aren't available on the base Sport model. The Active Safety package substantially bolsters the XT4's safety tech, and the Comfort and Convenience package nets heated and ventilated front seats with lumbar massage (as well as heated outboard second-row chairs).

Cadillac XT4 models

Maintenance disaster

2023 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I special ordered an XT4 in May 2022. Took delivery in mid-August. I love the car itself. It is everything I wanted. However, 2 months later, the car mysteriously switched into park while I was at a stoplight, and the check engine light came on. 24 hours later, the dealership informed me that a manufacturing defect had caused transmission fluid to leak into the transmission itself, …

2021 Cadillac XT4 Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

Went from a XT5 to a Xt4 because it is a little smaller. The interior, however is very spacious. I selected the luxury model with the safety package and it is plenty well equipped for me at an attractive price. The only thing missing is blind spot indicator, and I can't believe that a luxury brand like Cadillac wouldn't put turn signals in the mirrors on all vehicles.

Move over Porsche Macan S

2023 Cadillac XT4 Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I am a car enthusiast. I have driven sports cars from BMW, Mercedes and Porsche and was shocked at the XT4. The professional reviews DO NOT give the XT4 justice. The engine turbo is perfectly paired to the throttle response so that the XT4 feels MUCH faster and responsive than a Porsche Macan S . How do I know? I test drove both cars and was shocked at Porsche Macan S lack of boost, …

Really happy with it

2022 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

Unlike professional car reviewers I don't drive dozens of vehicles every year so I can't compare this car to any other car, all I know is that it's very comfortable, looks good, handles pretty good, and has enough power to get me around town. It's quiet enough that front seat and back seat passengers can carry on a conversation at highway speeds. I like everything about this car, the …

2024 Cadillac XT4 First Impressions

byNick Yekikian

•8/08/2023

What is the XT4?

The XT4 is Cadillac's smallest and least expensive SUV offering. It's been a big seller for Cadillac since its release in 2019, and for 2024 the little XT4 is getting a mild makeover. The revisions are either cosmetic or relate to the interior, and though they might not remedy many of our issues with the XT4, the changes might help make it a more compelling offering against rivals like the BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLB.

The 2024 XT4 is most visually different at the front, where there are two new grille designs, plus thin slots for the daytime running lights and turn signals, with small rectangular pods holding the main headlight clusters. The rear also gets a bit more flaring around the outside edges of the bumper. The overall effect is a more assertive look that's in line with the automaker's newer offerings like the Lyriq and Escalade.

What's under the XT4's hood?

The XT4's powertrain is unchanged for 2024. All models still use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (235 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, though all trims are available with all-wheel drive. We weren't particularly fond of the XT4's powertrain when we last drove the car. It's slow off the line (taking a lackadaisical 6.7 seconds to hit 60 mph in our testing) and it's also loud and unrefined. Without any substantial modifications underhood, the XT4's performance woes continue for 2024.

How's the XT4's interior?

While powertrain revisions are disappointingly nonexistent, the cabin is a slightly different story. The digital instrument display and infotainment screen are now all housed together in one massive 33-inch panel that dominates the dashboard. There are also new design elements integrated into the dashboard area underneath that giant display, and Cadillac has adopted a blue hue to signify sportiness instead of the more traditional red, so Sport trims will come with blue contrast stitching. These changes, along with an increased use of premium materials like leather, help elevate the feeling of luxury.

The interior is largely unchanged, which means you still have the ample space that has been a hallmark of the XT4 since its inception. Unfortunately, our dissatisfaction with the level of interior noise at highway speeds will probably remain.

How's the XT4's tech?

That new 33-inch screen is packing a ton of tech. It features a Google operating system, with the Google Play store built right-in to help you find apps that can keep you connected while you're on the go. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Amazon Alexa and wireless charging can all be had on the XT4 as well. A big addition to the XT4's interior tech for audiophiles is the new 14-speaker AKG sound system. AKG was introduced to the Cadillac brand in the Escalade, and seeing it in the XT4 is a welcome addition for those who really value in-car audio.

Edmunds says

The updates to the XT4 are minor, and while they might suit those who were already leaning toward a Cadillac, we aren't sure they'll make the brand's smallest crossover much more competitive.
