Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Handles very well for its size
Impressively comfortable too
Loads of infotainment tech

Cons
Muted engine sounds
Auto gearbox isn't the best
Lots of expensive optional extras

Audi has made no changes to the RS Q8 for 2021.

Pros
Mega-powerful V-8 engine,
nimble chassis,
styling is more restrained than the mechanically similar Lambo Urus.

Cons
Slower and more expensive than the RS6 Avant,
brake feel isn't particularly confidence inspiring,
not quite as poised as a Porsche.

The RS Q8 is unchanged for 2021.

Pros
Turbo V8 delivers devastating straight-line performance
Nimble, lively handling puts most sports cars to shame
Comfortable, well-trimmed interior

Cons
Infotainment system can be distracting to use
Limited interior storage
Less practical than the related Q7

The 2021 Cadillac XT6 is a sharp spin on three-row family crossovers, but misses on a few details.

Pros
Comfortable interior
Good V-6 power
Sharp face
Good active safety features
Available all-wheel drive

Cons
Rivals cost less...
…and some have better interiors
Rear is a dud
No Super Cruise

By:

The 2021 Cadillac XT6 comes with all wheel drive, and front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 9-speed shiftable automatic.Luxury trim level debuts below Premium Luxury and Sport.New base 237-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine.Wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Pros
Quiet interior
Third row is roomy enough for most adults
Easy-to-use infotainment system

Cons
Minimal cargo space behind third row
Many advanced driver safety aids don't come standard
Jumpy throttle makes it hard to accelerate smoothly
Low towing limits

By: 
edmunds.com

A turbocharged four-cylinder joins the XT6 lineup for 2021 as part of the new entry-level Luxury trim level. The turbo four is shared with the smaller XT5 SUV, makes 237 horsepower, and comes paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. The 310-hp V-6 is still standard on the Premium Luxury and Sport models.

PROS
Sharply styled façade,
three roomy rows of seats,
high-tech features list.

CONS
Less-than-luxe cabin trimmings,
lackluster V-6 fuel efficiency,
borrows too much from other GM SUVs.
