Used 2021 Cadillac XT6 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Cadillac XT6 is a three-row midsize SUV that seats six or seven passengers. It's available in three trim levels: Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport. The Luxury trim comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (237 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque). All other XT6s get a 3.6-liter V6 (310 hp, 271 lb-ft).

Every XT6 also comes with:

  • Lane keeping assist (steers the XT6 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Front and rear parking sensors

Premium Luxury
The midtier trim is eligible for several options and also adds more standard features:

  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Power-folding mirrors
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Power-adjustable steering column

Bundled option packages are limited to the Premium Luxury and Sport trims and include:

Driver Assist package

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the XT6 and the car in front)
  • Enhanced forward collision mitigation system
  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Enhanced Visibility and Technology package

  • Digital gauge cluster display
  • Head-up display
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the XT6 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with no driver intervention)

Many stand-alone options are also available for the top two trims and include:

  • Second-row captain's chairs (reducing capacity to six passengers)
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated outboard rear seats
  • Navigation system
  • Night vision system
  • 14-speaker premium audio system
  • Dual-screen rear entertainment system
  • Wired tow hitch and added rear camera views

Which XT6 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The new Luxury trim is tempting because of its significantly lower price than the next trim up, the Premium Luxury. However, it has the new four-cylinder engine, which might not have enough grunt if you're frequently taking along a lot of passengers and cargo. Cadillac also limits the number of options you can get. As such, the Premium Luxury is our pick for most XT6 buyers.
