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
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
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.
No major changes for the 2021 Stelvio.
Pros Sharp steering and precise handling Powerful and exciting engines Distinctive styling helps it stand out from the crowd
Cons Snug cargo volume Missing some of the latest tech features Overly sensitive brake pedal
Alfa Romeo gives the 2021 Stelvio a more streamlined lineup and a series of minor updates. The company also reintroduces the "Sprint" moniker that was last seen on some of its most famous nameplates—the Giuletta Sprint and Giulia Sprint GTA, for example. It now applies to the base Stelvio trim, with the Ti and Ti Sport rounding out the rest of the tiers. Along with a selection of new exterior colors (Ocra GT Junior, Rosso GTA, Rosso Villa d'Este, and Verde Montreal), Alfa now offers optional 21-inch wheels. Built-in navigation and a dual-pane sunroof are newly standard on the Ti and Ti Sport.
Pros Entertaining driving manners, enticing exterior design, energetic turbo-four engine.
Cons Cargo space is smaller than rivals, back seat isn't very roomy, some unimpressive interior materials.
