GREAT SUV!
Xt6 lover. , 12/28/2020
2021 Cadillac XT6 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
This truck is great. Super quiet, comfortable and roomy. I’m 6’3”, and have plenty of leg and head room. Second row easily fits bulky rear facing car seats without compromising front seat leg room. Door openings are huge and open all the way, so getting in and out is easy, and getting car seats in/out is easy. Seats are big and comfortable, the ride is very smooth, and very quiet. V6 … motor has plenty of power. Infotainment system is great. Modern, but simple to use. Similar to bmw idrive, but I find it easier to use. Wireless Apple CarPlay is awesome, and works flawlessly. We shopped x5, q7, gle, xc90, and mdx. Cadillac is the clear winner if you value comfort, and space. We originally were gonna get another bmw, an x5, but after driving the xt6, it was no contest. The cadillacs overall ride and the room won us over. Interior material quality is great too, I read a lot of car website reviews saying otherwise, but they are totally wrong. If you want a luxury suv that puts the most value on comfort, space, quietness, and a smooth ride- this is the suv to get. The v6 motor is great too, it’s very smooth and has plenty of power.

2020 Cadillac XT6 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
My wife has driven a full size XL version of Suburban or Yukon for the past 20 years. With the kids out of the house now, it was time to go a little smaller and sporty. The XT6 Sport model fit the bill. The wife loves it and we didn’t really give up much cargo space.
Spend the money and go with the AWD or AWD Sport model. We teat drove the FWD and there is no comparison.
Highly disappointed with the 2020 Cadillac XT6

2020 Cadillac XT6 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
The fit and finish of the vehicle is exceptional. The ride is marvelous. The top end electronic package, while expensive, has been a tremendous disappointment.
It has not worked since the day it was delivered. We have had this car in and out of the service department over 6 times. the computer on the car has a flaw that can make it 'go out' while you are driving down the road, it … may disappear when trying to park the car (camera goes blank) or it may simply tell you that it does not recognize you, your key or your identitiy.
The problem is that the technicians are incapable of diagnosing these sorts of problems, and the dealership is unwilling to replace the faulty computer. Instead, we get modules replaced, cables replaced, software re-installed and they've even blamed their own APP for the issues.
To top it off, when I called Cadillac Corporate office to get some help, they routed my call back to the dealership, and I'm back on the phone with the same ineffective technician that I'm complaining about.
The car was taken into the shop, as the scheduled it, and it was not touched for 5 day. After 10 days, they still cannot figure it out, and we were told that they would call in an 'expert.'
For the money invested in this vehicle, I should be getting a much better service experience.
awful car

2020 Cadillac XT6 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
be careful with this vehicle. I bought one new in April of 21 and it's been a nightmare. The brakes make a roaring sound when pressed. The car has been at the dealership over 60 days and they can't seem to find the problem. Also, Cadillac refused to help. If I could give zero stars, that would be my rating
