Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Cadillac has made only a few minor changes to the XT4 for 2021, starting with the base Luxury trim, which receives a new standard power rear liftgate and the option of leather upholstery. An optional Driver Awareness package that includes automatic high-beam headlamps and lane-keeping assist has also been added to the Luxury trim.

Pros
Stylish exterior, handsome interior design, spacious cabin.

Cons
Down-market interior materials, rough ride, loud engine note.

Lots of engine and road noise
Some controls are confusing to use
Luxury features you'd expect to be standard are optional
