2024 CADILLAC XT6
SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE
Overview
The 2024 Cadillac XT6 fits very comfortably into Cadillac's SUV lineup, claiming its spot between the compact XT4 and the full-sized Escalade. For many owners, the biggest appeal lies with the XT6's third row of seats, especially among buyers who don't want the larger scale of a full-size SUV. Owners appreciate the XT6's quiet ride and the 2024 model offers tight body control, taking corners and curves effortlessly. The 2024 Cadillac XT6 has two engine choices and three trim levels—the base Luxury model, the Premium Luxury, and the top Sport model.
Who's It For?
The 2024 Cadillac XT6 offers a stylish alternative to the full-sized, truck-based Escalade with its thirsty V-8 engine for those wanting a Cadillac SUV with third-row seating. While its third-row seating area is smaller than the mammoth Escalade, the XT6 was introduced in 2020 as the brand's largest FWD-based crossover. Buyers considering a luxury crossover will find the 2024 Cadillac XT6 is competitive with other luxury vehicles. Owners requiring extra cargo space will find the latest XT6 provides 78.7 cu. ft. of room with second- and third-row seats folded down.

What's New for 2024?
Cadillac rolled out some tech upgrades with last year's XT6, so the 2024 edition rolls off the line with few major changes from its predecessor. Buyers will have new paint and accent options, but otherwise, the Cadillac XT6 remains mostly unchanged for 2024.
Real World Performance
The 2024 XT6 offers buyers the choice of either a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine delivering 235 horsepower on the base Luxury model or a 310-hp V-6 standard on the Premium Luxury and Sport models. All trims come with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Cadillac offers the choice of FWD or AWD on the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims, but the XT6 is an AWD-only vehicle for the Sport trim. The Sport model also comes with steering tuned to offer quick response, whether for rugged terrain or the day-to-day hazards of city driving. The 2024 Cadillac XT6 also satisfies with athletic handling for an SUV of its size. Buyers can opt for adaptive dampers that soak up bumps in a way that reminds drivers this is a luxury vehicle.
While the 2024 Cadillac XT6 may not be a standout in its class, it certainly gets the job done with ease. Its sophisticated exterior styling is the icing on the cake for this three-row luxury crossover. For owners more interested in seating comfort and style than maximum capacity, the 2024 Cadillac XT6 offers optional captain's chairs rather than the three-seat bench seating for the crossover's second row.
