You know, it took me so long to see what's different on this XT6, and it's the grill. Cadillac has done an amazing job with this XT6. Imagine if they made an XT6-V!
I had the first year model of the XT6 Luxury version. With Captains chairs in 2nd row…One of the best cars I ever owned. The only thing I thought they could improve was the quickness and MPG. Always felt luxurious… loved the seats, loved the ride quality, loved the infotainment system…… and the AC was excellent too!
Joe always liked the XT6 Sport, however, Cadillac should give this vehicle a full digital instrumention display and a larger touchscreen, like in the Escalde and the Lyrique. I heard the XT4 is getting full digital and a large touchscreen. The XT6 should also get an optional Turbo V6 and maybe call it V-Sport.
When the car first came out I thought the analogue gauges were too basic but actually if you really look at the design it is really clean, sharp and classy and I really like them now. They will still look good in 10 years' time whereas digital wiĺl probably look dated and nasty. Plus there's plenty of digital screen real estate already anyway for the other stuff.
And the Bose sound system in it is unsurpassed by any I’ve ever heard! Base that will rattle your bones and the clarity even at extremely high volume is superb! I simply love everything about my 2022XT6!
You should give a listen to the audio from Genesis’ Lexicon, 2021+ Tesla Model S/X, and Acura’s ELS. I have found these to be some of the best systems I’ve tested. Absolute best is the 4D Burmester in the new S-class, but it better be for almost $7k.
I would prefer this as a 2 rows suv and the Escalade as the 3 rows option or having a full bench to maximize the space. But in general it is a nice vehicle, great materials and nice performance.
Another great review Joe, But i was waiting for that big ZONK on the 8" infotainment screen for a 2023 $75,000 SUV. But i loooove you let them have it with the NON-SPORT TIRES on a sport edition lol.
Its due for a refresh, but I guess with so many coming this year already (Canyon/Colorado, Traverse, Acadia plus all the full-size SUV's, Escalade, etc.) they decided to wait. When they do finally refresh, it'll probably get the digital dash from the XT4, and that new 2.5 turbo the '24 Traverse is getting. (315hp / 317tq) It would be nice to have a bit more power right now, but the 2nd gen 3.6 is well proven. As for the instrument cluster, it's the same as the one I had in my 2020 CT5-V. Good, but outdated. I drove a '23 XT6 Sport several weeks ago. It had the base seats (not the ones in this review) and as much as I liked the rest of the vehicle, they seemed REALLY hard.
I've always felt that Caddy should have had an engine upgrade option on the XT6 to distinguish it from the Enclave/Traverse. This does everything right, but $75K is too much, imho. You can get a Suburban Premier for that which is superior to this in every qualitative way. At $65K this would be a slam dunk.
@@cwwright83able buick does not have the same quality or feel especially in the steering the $4,000 Platinum package is a waste of money on this or the xt5 which I had it in mine.. that's why every one feels that this car is overpriced you can option out sport xt6 for under 65 k I remember when I had my xt5 my brother asked me why I didn't buy a Chevy and said that it was the same car, if that were the case we wouldn't need so many badges..
The sport comes with an optional carbon fibre accent instead of the wood. But I love the wood, so I'm glad it comes with the option still on the sport. Different strokes, for different folks!!
If you had to choose between this or the xt5 sport? I am looking to trade in my 2022 sorento sx awd turbo. Looking for something that compares to it 3 row is not a mandatory.
@ not anymore I’m kind of over the mopar phase. I love the power but I’ve pretty much had every mopar product that comes with the 5.7 engine. Leaning more towards something more luxury but still powerful that’s not going to break the bank. Some of these SUV prices are just insane in my opinion.
Great review as usual Joe! My wife has an 2017 XT5 with the same engine and it is very reliable. The XT6 will be a good upgrade for the new grand kids, but the price should be lower to sale more units as mentioned before.
I feel that the XT6 often get overlooked for the Escalade, when consumers are looking for a Cadillac 3-row SUV. Also, Caddy needs to one day come out with the subcompact XT3, to rival the Benz GLA, BMW X1, and Lexus UX.
Cadillac needs to build better vehicles. All these crossovers are cheaply built and overpriced. Engines and transmissions are crap. I’d go German all day long over this. Better quality and will last longer.
All the mentioned features are normal features and can be found on any mid size suv For a luxury car review i would like to know more about the sound insulation or the luxury features that does not exists on the normal cars and why i want to pay a 65K for this! Not how many cup holders exists.....
The opulent blue color is new to the XT6 but not to Cadillac. It was offered on the Cadillac CTS. I do believe the dark moon blue was more suitable for this type of vehicle, but I also liked the shadow metallic a lot which they've also discontinued...
Shouldn't have missed that this is a Platinum. Starting msrp for xt6 is about 51k for the luxury and it goes all the way up to 70k + on these Platinums.
@RaitisRides For the same price, would you pick the XT6 premium luxury trim with tech and drive assist package or Grand Cherokee L limited with black appearance, panoramic roof and 9 speaker audio packages?
I would love the look of the xt6 I think it’s one of the best looking suvs right now. Would love a v model with maybe the twin turbo from the blackwing ct4
for any of the taller drivers out there, i have a 2022 xt6 sport awd and I sat in a 2023 escalade and my xt6 had more headroom even though the specs say different...
I was impressed with ride quality and comfort and quietness of this SUV , Bose audio, some fake stuff is interior tweaks like panels and plastics, but other than great gas mileage as you can shift it to two and all wheel drive ....
@@RaitisRides you're right. Audi and all of German car manufacturers will exclude themselves from the race. Gready guys will pay a high price for their hunger for money.
The current Q7 just looks like a dressed up atlas to me. Which I mean it kind of is, but still at least previously it looked much better than the atlas.
Nice vehicle. My wife’s lease is up on her Aviator. I’ve been scouting vehicles and wanted to learn more about the XT6. Thank you! I do think with features, equipment and power, we may choose to buy out the Aviator. Just seems better.
Anyone have experience with the "Automatic Seatbelt tightener"? Truth be told I've not tried it.....but man sounds like a pain the ass if it's too tight, etc. I'd rather adjust for myself....
I love the color combo here that blue is very nice I agree that wood grain needed to be left back in the old deville that dates it but as usual awesome job very good descriptions of this car I still miss the Eldorado and Sevilles
I love the Cadillac xt6s in general but man taking the front bumper apart is a pain sometimes. Very similar to an Escalade on how it comes apart. But do see alot of these at the Cadillac dealership I work for
I’ve watched multiple videos on this vehicle and no one has ever mentioned that the 2023 model has an engine with an ATM feature, active fuel management, which allows the engine to operate on all 6 or 4 cylinders depending on driving conditions. Typically when operation is dropped to 4 cylinders it is accompanied by engine vibration and shuddering. I might not have purchased this car had I experienced this on my test drive, however the test route seemed to be carefully selected to avoid this.
75K is a lot to pay for a heavily badge-engineered Chevy Traverse. At this price point, analog gauges and last-generation tech are hard to justify. My initial reaction was that the model is intended to appeal to an older demographic that has less use for the latest tech. But the availability of Supercruise and a “sport” appearance package with Brembo brakes (of all things) undercuts that theory. So who is the target market? I can’t imagine there are that many consumers cross-shopping this against a Q7 or the other German offerings. It’s got to be cannibalizing the Acadia Denali and Enclave, right?
I'm sorry, but Cadillac should be ashamed of themselves for having a such a nice looking vehicle that's trying to compete with the German competition and only giving it a N/A 310 horsepower V6. Big head scratcher for me and charging 75,000 🤯🤯🤯. Highway robbery !!!! It's just a nicely dressed 👗 Chevy Traverse 😱😱😱
The infotainment screen is too small, and too low for a budget car, let alone a Cadillac luxury vehicle. Not sure why the speedometer needs to go up to 160 mph.
the screen is fine. These giant screens are a pain in the ass with the glare at night and a distraction during the day. People already have enough trouble keeping their eyes on the road where it belongs.
I'm not digging that wood on the interior. But I love the tan they used. Wish the infotainment system was a touch bigger. But aside from that? Really nice vehicle. Especially that blue paint job.
I like the look and sound a lot. But Cadillac need to work on the infotainment screen upgrade. Bigger and wider please, this feels 2015-17 Audi vibes. Cureent generation Lexus RX and Audi Q5-Q7 are ahead in that department.
It's giving me $45k vibes. No way this $70k. Even the new 2023 Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy interior better than this "luxury" brand. That shiny plastic wood trim is attracting senior citizen homes everywhere.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 I bought the pear white with black out trim and the black factory 21 inch wheels and get compliments everywhere. It’s about the sportiest it could get in a mid size SUV especially with that front end design. However, the interior is nice but not as sporty.
Exterior styling is great but interior is a letdown. Lots of carry over from XT5 which is already old to boot. Everything seems outdated in terms of electronics.
I have a 2020 Chevy Blazer Premier. Funny that it's easily a sportier vehicle than this, with the exact same engine, yet doesn't offer paddle shifters.
I don't think this video does this amazing vehicle any justice I own the platinum edition which includes to many items to name from TV's in the head rest to a air ionizer. Decent power with 310HP which i wish they used the CT5 twin turbo engine.
To me this looks much better than the competition. Genesis is a bit of teenager, always flexing his muscles in front of the bathroom mirror. Hopefully, the brand will tone down those odd headlights and guitar-pick grill as it matures. The Q7 looks like it hauls family members all day long. It's proportions lean toward minivan. I wish I had the money to get into an XT while the design language is still utilitarian, modern, and athletic. With my luck, when I have the money, Cadillac will have moved onto a complete different aesthetic.
Not a GM fan....and I've usually found Cadillac SUVs unappealing. But, I gotta admit this is a VERY nice looking ride. Great color, handsome and tasteful styling, nice interior (I like the wood). Still, I think the Lyric would be a better choice and value for me
I can't believe Joe missed the rear wiper tucked beneath the roof spoiler. His one major area he loves to zonk and he missed it.
I thought I said something about it!
Was gonna say the same thing and how much does it tow
I think, he had the forthcoming "on throttle" on his mind.
Hello Joe I received a message saying I won something. Is that right. 🤔

How comfortable is the seats ?

This is one of only a few SUVs with no visible rear wiper! Surprised you didn't mention that in the review.

How has it held up so far?

I heard the XT4 is getting full digital and a large touchscreen. The XT6 should also get an optional Turbo V6 and maybe call it V-Sport.
its been out for 3 years so I am assuming it will get update for 2024. The Enclave and Blazer were updated after 4 years

They will still look good in 10 years' time whereas digital wiĺl probably look dated and nasty. Plus there's plenty of digital screen real estate already anyway for the other stuff.
I don't mind the fake vents that are not functional. In my opinion I think it's more aggressive for the looks.
And the Bose sound system in it is unsurpassed by any I’ve ever heard! Base that will rattle your bones and the clarity even at extremely high volume is superb! I simply love everything about my 2022XT6!
Yeah, I love the bass in my 2021 Enclave Avenir also. Hope my Hummer EV coming next year has the same punch to its system.
I couldn’t agree more. The sound is clear, sharp, and the precision thump coming from the sub blows me away every time.
You should give a listen to the audio from Genesis’ Lexicon, 2021+ Tesla Model S/X, and Acura’s ELS. I have found these to be some of the best systems I’ve tested. Absolute best is the 4D Burmester in the new S-class, but it better be for almost $7k.

I would prefer this as a 2 rows suv and the Escalade as the 3 rows option or having a full bench to maximize the space. But in general it is a nice vehicle, great materials and nice performance.
Very good point Omar!
2 row version is called XT5
I think the GV80 and Aviator are both better looking inside and out. They also have more power.
I think you may be right Jason.
Plus the proportions of those are much more appealing, because of the RWD platform.
The GV80 maybe, but the Aviator is garbage.

Now we are talking but I think it is wishful thinking at this point.
I can tell you love driving, because you didn’t even think of showing off SuperCruise. That’s a nice addition this year.
The super cruise is horrible it doesn't work properly that's probably why

Not a GM fan....and I've usually found Cadillac SUVs unappealing. But, I gotta admit this is a VERY nice looking ride. Great color, handsome and tasteful styling, nice interior (I like the wood). Still, I think the Lyric would be a better choice and value for me
