@@bradlemmond Who can keep track of these confusing CT and XT naming models? Cadillac needs to go back to using actual model names like Lincoln is doing now.
I just picked up my 2022 XT6 Premium Luxury last month and I couldn't be happier with it! Terrific looking and functional, great space and comfort, reasonably priced for it's segment, great tech and safety features, plenty of power and a smooth ride! It's my first domestic US car brand purchase in 20 years.
Why anyone would buy this over a Lincoln Aviator is beyond me. This should have come out back in 2011. This is way too similar to the cheaper Chevrolet Traverse which it is based on. Too generic for the luxury crossover segment.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm a die hard Caddy man. I have a 11' DTS and 03' Escalade EXT and I want to get a CTS-V and newer Escalade ESV in the near future. But my question is WTF kind of crack was GM smoking when they approved this and have the nerve to charge more than a Aviator. First off its Wrong Wheel Drive and that's enough said right there. This is the first Lincoln in decades that totally bested a Caddy in every category. Its the only Lincoln I'd choose over a Caddy and I'm not even a crossover guy.
This new naming system with newton meters of torque rounded to a multiple of 50 shows that Cadillac has its efforts in the wrong place. Make a better car, not a new badge.
Derek Chisholm It actually shows their efforts are in the right place. Cadillac should definitely be attempting to differentiate it’s exteriors from their standard brands in any and all ways. No Cadillac should share the same “3.6” badge as a Chevrolet Impala. I think the newton meters badging looks really good on the back of these new Cadillacs and it adds a bit of class to the brand. I love it!
So much unjust hate towards this car, most complaining about it being based on the traverse... almost every vehicle in production is based off a cheaper platform.. like the Escalade based off the Tahoe..
You guys at MotorWeek should really be getting more views and credit for your style. A lot of other outlets will find one thing about a car to rip into and plaster that all over their review for extra clicks, or allow it to influence their judgement of everything else, but you guys always make sure to credit the positives of every car. It keeps the perspective that, though some vehicles are better value than others, new vehicles keep getting better.
The 2004 SRX was an artful design, and way prettier than this XT6 abomination. This is a Cadillac? Actually looks like an SUV that should cost $25K...just ugly.
@@randomrazr The old Hyundai cars were very reliable, but I don't trust a new car. I used to own a 2003 Hyundai XG350L. Car was rock solid in build quality, despite being from the old era of Hyundai, and I got 195K miles out of her before she was totaled. A true testament to simple old fashioned builds and minimal electronics. I got a Malibu. But my dream car is a 1978 Cadillac Sedan Deville.
I owned the first CTS. This is NOT a Cadillac to me, and not why i bought a Caddy in the first place. It's a rebadged GMC Acadia with updated tech and a softer interior. I want American BOLD Luxury and Style and i just don't feel that Cadillac designers are moving in that direction.
The Lincoln Aviator shits all over this badge engineered Chevrolet Traverse/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave gone wrong. GM needs to look at what Ford is doing redesigning their new Lincoln SUVs like the Navigator, Aviator and Corsair. Also bring back real names like Lincoln is doing now.
@@gedaman Exactly. Lincoln is platform-sharing the same way many brands do, but Ford is learning how to differentiate them much better than they have in the past. GM is still introducing lackluster stuff like this unfortunately.
The issue with this vehicle is that it's pricing is in line with the Aviator, which offers so much more for the price. I'd be hard pressed to buy this over an Aviator and not feel ripped off. GM dropped the ball here.
Except, Cadillac doesn't try to shove turbos down our throats, as Lincoln constantly is. At least, Cadillac gives you a choice..and my choice is, turbos??...NEVER.
Eh, it's OK. There is too much competition out there for it. GM is dropping the ball big time with Cadillac. Cheap interior, and exterior looks bland. I'd rather get the Hyundai Pallisade for the price.

@@mybro727 The only similarity between the Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator is the platform. The powertrains are unique, the exterior and interior are unique. I don't think you know what the word delusional means...

The Ford Explorer ST and Lincoln Aviator share majority of the same switchgear, 3.0L eco-boosted twin turbocharged engines, same 10-speed transmission, same plastic Ford remote key fob, body paneling, etc. You _ARE_ delusional, bud.🤷🏽♂️
I love the look of it, the stance is great. I think it looks much better than the Lincoln. My opinion, I know, but it really has presence. I’ve owned Japanese suv’s the past 15 years and frankly am getting tired of them. I’ve owned Fords in the past and will never own one again. My father always got brand new BMW’s very few years, and they were in the shop quite a bit. I’ll never own a BMW. Think German cars are flawless? Ha! No way. I will definitely be looking into the 2021 XT6. Can’t wait to see what it offers. And I’ll spend my money how I like so save the insults to my opinions. I really think this car looks great. Home run.

Buy a 2005 dodge caravan then. They use them in terrorist bombings, drive by shootings, and hauling kids to pull weeds out the field. If you want power drivers seats then buy a chrysler. The quality is terrible yet easy to replace and they last too long
10 years ago it was Cadillac and the 08 CTS that was the groundbreaking American luxury brand while Lincolns were just Fords in tuxedos. Today they both have switched places.
The engine needs to be turned the proper direction before we consider any performance upgrades. This will never compete with a 2020 Aviator, or even an Explorer for that matter.
@@LSp8 Exactly. GM dropped the ball with this while Ford has an all new rear wheel drive truck based Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator. GM should've brought out this Cadillac XT6 back in 2007 when the Buick Enclave was first introduced.
@@gedaman I been saying that for years, now GM brought a knife to a gunfight. Meanwhile the Aviator brought a AR15 and XT6 whipped out a rusty butter knife. The only saving Grace would be towards high volume and super discounted fleet sales. This may be the successor to the XTS at best. There's no excuse for luxury brands launching FWD in 2020. It's super obvious that RWD is the premier option.
Just the thought of them having the nerve to call this a Cadillac baffles me. When the Cimarron by Cadillac came out, it was dogged out for being merely a gussied-up Chevy. Even Lincoln caught backlash for the MKZ and MKS just being a gussied-up Ford Fusion and Taurus. Well... Isn't this essentially the same thing? It doesn't look any more premium than the Chevrolet Traverse, yeah it cost about 20 grand more. Not to mention, you get no significant power over the Traverse. Definitely not worth the money
Looks great in that red color. My Mom’s Acadia with the 3.6 has had several issues in the last 3 years. I like this car but I would not purchase any vehicle with the 3.6L V6.
So many beautiful concepts from Cadillac over the years and the best they can manage to do on a production vehicle is crib the grille and slap it a a rebadged mommy mobile?
Don't forget about the ELR that they made a couple years ago, an incredibly beautiful vehicle style-wise and also performance-wise. Don't believe what the naysayers said about it, Go and drive one and you will be pleasantly surprised at how fantastic a vehicle it is.
Liked I've said before this is a beautiful vehicle inside and out but it needs a larger touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster and a Sport AWD version with a Turbo V6
Ivan Mendoza Good luck buying a Traverse and getting this luxurious of an interior with high end build materials, full LED exterior, this refined of a engine, and standard panoramic sunroof.
Because GM is somehow permanently convinced that Cadillac should be on the same level as GMC, which itself is nothing more than a badly undercooked pretend-luxury brand
You can trust some. They have a reliable motor call the LS that gets praised all over. GM puts quality in some of their models. If your looking to buy a reliable luxury car (Which luxury wasnt suppose to be reliable) then i would try to buy some of the lincoln models with good reliabilty ratings, and most of Lexus's lineup
Just looked at the seating position, it's a minivan without the functionality of sliding doors. Who the fuck was drinking and smoking crack in a board meeting and thought this was a good idea? No wonder GM is about to go bankrupt again.
bighosre10 Many popular manufacturers practice this technique, General Motors simply refuses to make any real effort to differentiate their luxury products from the lower level brands in which they’re based off of.
Eric Jr this is not true for the simple fact you can’t even tell this and the Traverse are made by the same company. It looks nothing like it, feels nothing like it, and is worlds more comfortable and luxurious.
mybro727 If you spec it out you’ll pay $74,000 for the same 311 hp V6 and powertrain that’s offered across most of GM's model line. It’s already been noted that they use much of the same plasticky switchgear as they do in the their other models. For over $70k I’d expect more. It’s not a horrible car, it’s just a bit overpriced for what you’re getting, especially considering their somewhat poor resale value.
Eric Jr There isn’t a competitor to the Cadillac XT6 in existence that doesn’t share the same fate in resale value. Secondly, if you think Cadillac is the only company that shares power trains between their standard and luxury brands you’re sadly mistaken. Ford, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, etc. all do this. I’m not sure why it’s such foul play when GM does it especially when it’s as great an engine as their cooperate 3.6L V6. It’s tuned differently in the XT6 and drives great. You’re simply comparing Chevrolet to Cadillac on paper, you would have to actually drive the Traverse and XT6 to understand the premium. There’s a difference. What switchgear? If there is any they share it’s minimalistic. I don’t see the electronic gear shifter featured here inside the Chevrolet Traverse. The Traverse doesn’t get a single power sliding panoramic moonroof standard like the Cadillac either. The key fob for the XT6 is the first impression and looks nothing like the Chevrolet’s or Buick’s. It’s clear the Cadillac is the premium variant there to. The materials used in the XT6 are all a notch above that of Chevrolet so i honesty can’t say i agree.
mybro727 Yep but those competitors also offer more power. Aviator offers nearly 500 horsepower in it’s top trim and 400 horsepower in the lower trim. Acura and Lexus both have for better resale value than Cadillac and Lincoln. I just don’t see anything special about this particular model that justify a $75,000 tag even in top trim.
The buttons surrounding the infotainment controller look so cheap.. Can't believe those are from a so called luxury brand. Imagine if this car didn't have a Cadillac badge on it. It's just GM's effort to lure people and steal their money with a rebadged explorer. If you compare this interior to GV80's no one would believe they cost pretty much the same.
$60k for a fancy Chevy is steep, the XT6 burns 87 octane and looks cool enough to own if it comes with deep discounts. The Aviator can be had for similar money and looks handsome inside and out, but it has issues that point me back to GM.
Agree. Did you see how the ENTIRE "central controller" knob moved when they pushed the buttons around it? Wont see that in a modern Mercedes. And the buttons themselves look like cheap GM parts-bin garbage. I always root for the hometeam, but this is a swing and miss. Lincoln Aviator will eat this thing alive for similar money.
Is it time for Moto Week to do comparison tests? While this is a nice SUV it really does not compete well with the rest of the class, especially for a Cadillac. It would have made a better Buick.
Have always loved Motorweek, but dang, you were way too easy on GM for this bland product. I have been buying GM vehicles since I was 17. Most recently I have had 3 Yukon Denali’s, Cadillac CTS-V coupe, and 2 Enclaves. I was so looking forward to trading in the last Enclave for what I “heard” was going to be a stylish 3 row crossover from Cadillac. Then the Detroit reveal and I was like.... what the heck!!! This thing is just an Acadia with a new front end. What a let down. The Lincoln Aviator absolutely blows this away. I had $3000 in GM rebate on my GM credit card and didn’t get to use it because GM dropped the ball with this underwhelming product. Ended up buying an Audi Q8. So disappointed in whoever green lighted this vehicle. Shame on you GM. You can do better. Well, you did...the new Escalade looks awesome, but now I don’t need a new vehicle for awhile.
The Cadillac XT5 replaced the SRX. Their naming scheme is so confusing most people can't tell their crossovers apart from the old SRX. LOL BRING BACK REAL NAMES!
Cadillac should have based it off the CT6, with a turbo four, six, and a V8 option. Two smaller suv should have been made of the ATS. Also with turbo four and six engines.
Who in the world thought it was ok to let that man be filmed painted that color? I was so distracted I didn't even pay attention to the rest of the video.
It’s sad that a reasonably expensive luxury car has more hard plastic than my Toyota Avalon. People in the market for this segment would be wise to look at Lexus for Toyota quality and more luxury.
As much as I respect GM and remain loyal to the corporation for putting food on my family's table for a couple generations, I have to admit that this is pathetic. The only good thing I can say is that it's "fairly" nice-looking from the outside (not a head-turner like the Lincoln Aviator though). I see quite a few generic/cheap-looking interior bits and the corporate 3.6L V6 being the standard and ONLY engine offered shows how unenthusiastic GM was when designing this. Old habits die hard apparently. This is disgraceful overall, should have been the new 2010 Cadillac SRX, not a 2020 model.
Who would by this over a lincoln aviator this one is literally crap and qaulity on this thing is very cheap not only that gm focuses on Cadillac for electric. Us aww sh×t here we go again. Also this. Doug de muro aww sh×t here we go again.
Why would anyone buy a aviator also cheap plastic and electronic junk also cheap weak engines its time to make US auto makers make quality cars for the price that they sell them for so everyone should stop buying them like we all stopped buying their cars just horrible cheap built junk
Looks like a Blazer from the front and a Pilot from the rear...GM doesn't seem to care about Cadillac. Their mindset is, "just pump enough money and effort to keep it afloat."
And yet again Gm decides to manufacture something which wont hold up to the competition .... The way i see it is to go ahead and make a V sport for this truck and push it as such, Take knowledge from what infiniti did with the G35 and Fx45 its the only way. But they wont listen to me
I see you brought in your resident luxury expert to demonstrate the interior features! How are we supposed to take luxury car reviewers on this and many other auto review channels seriously when they can't even change their clothes after working in the yard?
I love Caddy but they had a way better lineup just 2 years ago. First the CT4/CT5 garbage. Even worse, CT4-V/CT5-V 😂😂 with their gutless motors, now this FWD crossover nonsense. I'll keep my older Caddys. Hopefully the T1 platform Escalade will bring some respect back to the brand. Some people need to be fired. The Art & Science theme was successful to the brand now this cookie cutter designs they're doing now are WEAK! Looks like every other Hyundai/Nissan/Audi out there. The outgoing models had their own uniqueness to them and were unmistakably Cadillac. I'll keep my old ones til I can afford a 16' CTS-V. Y'all can keep the new shit and invest in soulless electrification and self driving pansy crap.

mybro727 If you spec it out you’ll pay $74,000 for the same 311 hp V6 and powertrain that’s offered across most of GM's model line. It’s already been noted that they use much of the same plasticky switchgear as they do in the their other models. For over $70k I’d expect more. It’s not a horrible car, it’s just a bit overpriced for what you’re getting, especially considering their somewhat poor resale value.
Eric Jr There isn’t a competitor to the Cadillac XT6 in existence that doesn’t share the same fate in resale value.
Secondly, if you think Cadillac is the only company that shares power trains between their standard and luxury brands you’re sadly mistaken. Ford, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, etc. all do this. I’m not sure why it’s such foul play when GM does it especially when it’s as great an engine as their cooperate 3.6L V6. It’s tuned differently in the XT6 and drives great. You’re simply comparing Chevrolet to Cadillac on paper, you would have to actually drive the Traverse and XT6 to understand the premium. There’s a difference.
What switchgear? If there is any they share it’s minimalistic. I don’t see the electronic gear shifter featured here inside the Chevrolet Traverse. The Traverse doesn’t get a single power sliding panoramic moonroof standard like the Cadillac either. The key fob for the XT6 is the first impression and looks nothing like the Chevrolet’s or Buick’s. It’s clear the Cadillac is the premium variant there to. The materials used in the XT6 are all a notch above that of Chevrolet so i honesty can’t say i agree.
mybro727 Yep but those competitors also offer more power. Aviator offers nearly 500 horsepower in it’s top trim and 400 horsepower in the lower trim. Acura and Lexus both have for better resale value than Cadillac and Lincoln. I just don’t see anything special about this particular model that justify a $75,000 tag even in top trim.
Looks great!
That bassy voice.. That's what I am here for..
The buttons surrounding the infotainment controller look so cheap.. Can't believe those are from a so called luxury brand. Imagine if this car didn't have a Cadillac badge on it. It's just GM's effort to lure people and steal their money with a rebadged explorer. If you compare this interior to GV80's no one would believe they cost pretty much the same.
It's called the 2020?
Watch the video
Slap a chevy badge on it, give it the zl1 motor and call it the trailblazer ss.
Can’t keep the model names straight
Not a GM / Isuzu fan at all!
But this thing looks nice, very clean and modern.
Mr. doughbody is hooked 🤣
He’s a great guy for motorweek but he looks way too orange enough with the bronzer
Anderson Ricardo
He is MotorWeek,
Show some respect for The godfather, kid.
how fricking old is this guy. you can go back from motorweek retro reviews from the early 80s, and its the same exact guy.
Sounds like Genesis could slap a badge on a Pallisade/Telluride and it'll be perfectly positioned. No waiting necessary for the development.
Looks so similar to first gen srx..... disappointing.
The is a good lookin crossover/ luxury SUV!
In my opinion if there are 6 passengers charging up their phones, the driver does not need a phone at all.
Cool mini van
$60k for a fancy Chevy is steep, the XT6 burns 87 octane and looks cool enough to own if it comes with deep discounts.
The Aviator can be had for similar money and looks handsome inside and out, but it has issues that point me back to GM.
*looks at Escalade *
Lmao the aviator is 100k+
I'm a Cadillac guy who loves The Aviator...but it's been recalled ALREADY and is built like crap. *Wants Genesis to build SUV*
@@71sc502 $100k?!?! No it isn't. Starts at $51,000.
GM still refuses to put a quality interior in any of its vehicles. Target market for this vehicle doesn't know the difference anyway.
Agree. Did you see how the ENTIRE "central controller" knob moved when they pushed the buttons around it? Wont see that in a modern Mercedes. And the buttons themselves look like cheap GM parts-bin garbage. I always root for the hometeam, but this is a swing and miss. Lincoln Aviator will eat this thing alive for similar money.
Love it, read the consumer report in the Aviator.... so bad on that Lincoln
Hey nice Chevy Blazer. How much debt did that cost you?
Unique exhaust outlets? That's supposed to mean what at $58,000?
and if you look close on any of these new cars they are fake
This thing looks like it came out in 2012 (minus the new grille) and is a minivan without the functionality of sliding doors.
I dont get why people are complaining about the interior. Nothing wrong with it.
Oh wow now we know where that uninspiring front end on the new Escalade came from. It works in this smaller SUV, but i don't like it in the Escalade.
It's crazy that folks will pay so much for a car that shares the same chassis with "lesser" models.
Just like Lincoln
Looks like 1st Gen GL and new X7
*Could have been better* Needs bigger lights and a bigger grill
The 2020 ???
Is it time for Moto Week to do comparison tests? While this is a nice SUV it really does not compete well with the rest of the class, especially for a Cadillac. It would have made a better Buick.
Have always loved Motorweek, but dang, you were way too easy on GM for this bland product. I have been buying GM vehicles since I was 17. Most recently I have had 3 Yukon Denali’s, Cadillac CTS-V coupe, and 2 Enclaves. I was so looking forward to trading in the last Enclave for what I “heard” was going to be a stylish 3 row crossover from Cadillac. Then the Detroit reveal and I was like.... what the heck!!! This thing is just an Acadia with a new front end. What a let down. The Lincoln Aviator absolutely blows this away. I had $3000 in GM rebate on my GM credit card and didn’t get to use it because GM dropped the ball with this underwhelming product. Ended up buying an Audi Q8. So disappointed in whoever green lighted this vehicle. Shame on you GM. You can do better. Well, you did...the new Escalade looks awesome, but now I don’t need a new vehicle for awhile.
2020 Cadillac what?
Watch the video
@@anthonywebber2211 The point was to convey they missed a word.
nice suv no gonna lie
Looks great and very different looking from older SRXs.
The Cadillac XT5 replaced the SRX. Their naming scheme is so confusing most people can't tell their crossovers apart from the old SRX. LOL BRING BACK REAL NAMES!
Looks like a Durango from the side and an explorer from the back.
Cadillac should have based it off the CT6, with a turbo four, six, and a V8 option. Two smaller suv should have been made of the ATS. Also with turbo four and six engines.
Hire for half the price and I will get them right 😂
Can we get a “V” engine and not just an appearance package??
Who in the world thought it was ok to let that man be filmed painted that color? I was so distracted I didn't even pay attention to the rest of the video.
It’s sad that a reasonably expensive luxury car has more hard plastic than my Toyota Avalon. People in the market for this segment would be wise to look at Lexus for Toyota quality and more luxury.
As much as I respect GM and remain loyal to the corporation for putting food on my family's table for a couple generations, I have to admit that this is pathetic. The only good thing I can say is that it's "fairly" nice-looking from the outside (not a head-turner like the Lincoln Aviator though). I see quite a few generic/cheap-looking interior bits and the corporate 3.6L V6 being the standard and ONLY engine offered shows how unenthusiastic GM was when designing this. Old habits die hard apparently. This is disgraceful overall, should have been the new 2010 Cadillac SRX, not a 2020 model.
Who would by this over a lincoln aviator this one is literally crap and qaulity on this thing is very cheap not only that gm focuses on Cadillac for electric. Us aww sh×t here we go again.
Also this.
Doug de muro aww sh×t here we go again.
Spmeone who wants to spend 60k instead of 120k
Why would anyone buy a aviator also cheap plastic and electronic junk also cheap weak engines its time to make US auto makers make quality cars for the price that they sell them for so everyone should stop buying them like we all stopped buying their cars just horrible cheap built junk
Looks like a Blazer from the front and a Pilot from the rear...GM doesn't seem to care about Cadillac. Their mindset is, "just pump enough money and effort to keep it afloat."
And yet again Gm decides to manufacture something which wont hold up to the competition .... The way i see it is to go ahead and make a V sport for this truck and push it as such, Take knowledge from what infiniti did with the G35 and Fx45 its the only way. But they wont listen to me
But the same guy managed to confuse both brands' model names.
Oh the new trailblazer. I mean old traverse. Oh it's a cadillac. Oh it's a GM.
I see you brought in your resident luxury expert to demonstrate the interior features! How are we supposed to take luxury car reviewers on this and many other auto review channels seriously when they can't even change their clothes after working in the yard?
Why don't they just call it a station wagon?
All it needs is a motor!
I love Caddy but they had a way better lineup just 2 years ago. First the CT4/CT5 garbage. Even worse, CT4-V/CT5-V 😂😂 with their gutless motors, now this FWD crossover nonsense. I'll keep my older Caddys. Hopefully the T1 platform Escalade will bring some respect back to the brand. Some people need to be fired. The Art & Science theme was successful to the brand now this cookie cutter designs they're doing now are WEAK! Looks like every other Hyundai/Nissan/Audi out there. The outgoing models had their own uniqueness to them and were unmistakably Cadillac. I'll keep my old ones til I can afford a 16' CTS-V. Y'all can keep the new shit and invest in soulless electrification and self driving pansy crap.
They make a car called the 2020? Hahaha
He have these on the lot at the dealership. I guess they are hoping the uber drivers go over to this and ditch the escalades
Having the side mirrors connected to the doors messes up the look on this. Stop doing that GM with all your vehicles it looks strange.
grow more trees, they take in carbon and put out oxygen. you won't have to worry about emissions then
This is a rebadged traverse and it's ugly. I'm a Cadillac fan but aviator for the win.
I agree
I agree too!
