May Be The Best Cadillac SUV Yet?
Deepwoods, Ashburn, VA, 01/03/2019
2019 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
Have owned two other Cadillac's in the past 5 years and this one is clearly the best, not that the other two were not, but this one stands out. Replaced a 2016 SRX that we really liked, but like this more. It's sporty looking, has great acceleration and quiet comfortable drive. Excellent interior finishes with controls that make sense and are easy to understand and use. Vastly … improved entertainment system is a pleasure to use vs. old CUE systems. Plenty of room front or back for my 6'3" frame. Add to all this the fact it runs on regular gasoline vs. any competition and this is a vehicle to take seriously over it's competition.
Great Car If Sensors Worked As Expected
Patti M, Cypress, TX, 02/10/2019
2019 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
I leased a Premium Luxury XT4 after driving a Lexus for the past 12 years. Unfortunately my car died on me at 300 miles with a Service Transmission message. The dealer was good about getting me a loaner car out that same night. It turned out to be the sensor and they found that many of the wires had been pinched and/or misrouted. I had been experiencing the parking sensors and the … cameras coming on at random times. While they corrected the wiring which fixed the transmission issue, the parking sensors continue to come on at random times. The dealership even took out a new car and was able to duplicate the same problem. Supposedly the dealership is working with Cadillac to see if the problem can be resolved with a software update. Not only do the front parking sensors come on at random times, the pedistrian sensor also comes on randomly - like on a major freeway where I'm sure there pedistrians are not walking. My phone also continues to unsync and I have to delete everything to get it to pair again. This means I often do not have a phone that will work with my car. My gas milage has been around 22 in the city and 29 when I did a road trip. I am now at 1200 miles and while there are things I like about my car, I could not recommend it to anyone else until they manage to get all of the bugs worked out of the sensors. I have an expectation that everything should work as expected when paying this much for a new car.
My Cadillac and I
steven marquez, Anaheim, CA, 05/31/2019
2019 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
This SUV came out this year (2019) and I have to say that it out performs every other SUV in it's price range with it's functions, looks, drivability, and luxury. I've had it for 3 months now and driven it 3600 miles and it's been a joy to own. I highly recommend this SUV to everyone who wants a great vehicle in their lives.
From an ATS to an XT4
Fred, Venice, CA, 01/02/2019
2019 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
After four years of driving my ATS with 6 cylinder 321 HP I leased an XT4. Pros: Fantastic technology, great visibility, very easy to get in/out, softer more comfortable ride, quiet, one set of golf clubs fits sideways just like ATS but not quite as wide. My large bag and standard driver "just" fit. Take you clubs and try before you buy. 184" length to still fits into garage the … same way. Seats are more comfortable than ATS and can be adjusted so your head isn't hitting the head/neck protector. Also, seats heat up and massage your lower back! Cons: Certainly doesn't handle like the ATS in terms of acceleration, cornering but more comfy ride. Accelerated plenty fast enough to get you up to speed on the freeway no problem at all. All in all I'm really liking the change.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2019 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury SUV
What’s new
- The 2019 Cadillac XT4 is an all-new vehicle
- Part of the first Cadillac XT4 generation introduced for 2019
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Roomy seating and cargo area for this class of SUV
- Pro:Infotainment system is quick and sharp-looking
- Con:Ride is far too busy for a luxury crossover
- Con:Lots of engine and road noise
- Con:Some controls are confusing to use
- Con:Luxury features you'd expect to be standard are optional
Which XT4 does Edmunds recommend?
Though attractively priced, the based Luxury trim is missing some features you'd expect. As such, we recommend starting out with the Premium Luxury, which comes with niceties such as leather upholstery, auto-dimming mirrors and a power liftgate. You'll still need to opt for the Technology package for a power-adjustable steering column, and the Comfort and Convenience package is worthwhile for its upgraded front seats — who doesn't like a massage on the commute?
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Cadillac XT4 SUV
Driving
6.5From a performance standpoint, the XT4 comes up a bit short due to a distinct lack of steering feel and a sometimes slow-witted transmission. Cadillac's rivals do almost everything else better in every category.
Comfort
6.0With a busy and sometimes unsophisticated ride plus a surprisingly noisy engine, the XT4 does not represent Cadillac's best effort. Thankfully, the seats are comfortable for a wide variety of body types. You'll need to use the powerful audio system to drown out everything else.
Interior
7.0The XT4 makes a strong initial impression with its stylish and modern interior. But some controls appear either unnecessary or overthought, making them difficult to use without errors and frustration. The clumsy multimedia control knob is the most glaring example but can thankfully be ignored.
Utility
7.0The XT4 is likely to be a buyer's primary vehicle, so the more practicality and versatility it has, the better. The Cadillac doesn't disappoint and fits right into a varied but competitive segment.
Technology
8.0In some ways, the XT4 is right at the leading edge of the compact luxury crossover segment. Its upgraded infotainment system is quick, sharp and easy to use, and the optional Bose audio system is impressive. But its unnecessary control knob is clumsy, and the optional driver aids are expensive.
