I just picked up my 2022 XT6 Premium Luxury last week 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.
We love it very comfortable drives smoothly too.
Love the honesty. Good review guys.
Thank you
Can’t wait to see you review the Aviator
Mid August, already on the editorial schedule!
It has been taking me 3 weeks to decide between GMC Acadia Denali and Cadillac XT6. Does anyone had experience on both? Which one should I get?
I rate these reviewers him: 3, her: 5.
Couple of car snobs. One says if you have 6 in a family get the Escalade. How many families can afford an Escalade?
similar to a traverse. sidenote i love escalade esv.
I felt the same way about the driver'a seat when I test drove it.
Where is this press launch?
Washington DC in Leesburg Virginia
The number of comments comparing the Caddy to the Telluride is worth noting. And it's the reason that it's so difficult to actually purchase a top trim SX version of the Telluride. Experienced KIA dealers are accustomed to "budget" shoppers looking for the cheapest trim level they can find for a particular vehicle. What dealers have discovered is that the introduction of the Telluride brought customers into their showrooms the dealers have seldom if ever seen before -- folks cross shopping a KIA vehicle against a Cadillac and other luxury and near luxury brands.
You guys voices were lower and higher and vice-versa, that I almost had to adjust the volume. Could use a microphone or a voice over. Not a bad review though.
We will chat with the editor
Cadillac Is Still A Great Luxury Brand It’s just that they didn’t do well on the xt6,but their other vehicles are amazing
Justin Smith the 3rd is extremely spacious. They just didn’t slide the second row seats forward
Agree, they have to do some major improvements as this debuted after the Lincoln Aviator. With an XT5 interior, less interior color choices than the XT5, and no quilted seats. The drivetrain, forget about it. A 3.6 liter engine shared with about a dozen other GM makes Chevy, Buick and GMC. Cadillac, put a 3.6 liter Twin Turbo in the AWD XT6. That'll give it 420 HP and 430 FT LBS of Torque.
Cadillac it's been 19 months since this review and you've done nothing to bring the XT6 up to the competition and value of the rest of the lineup. Get it done or drop the XT6!
@@bilderberg_news4775 Cadillac will likely keep the XT6 the way it is, since Cadillac is going electric. The XT6 should’ve had the CT5 interior in my opinion.
@@justinsmith2598 Agree, the CT5 seats in a new brown color choice not available in any other Cadillac. Plus, a quilted seat option.
@@bilderberg_news4775 Agreed
I also think people are waiting for the XT6's direct competitor... the new Lincoln Aviator.
Exactly. We will review the new Lincoln Aviator in mid-August. Very competitive segment for sure!
How much does it tow?
5000 lbs with class 3
Tested the BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Porsche Macan, and purchased the XT6 Sport. It’s my fifth Cadillac, the built in Tennessee helped with the decision. Loved the ride and for a family of four this is a perfect vehicle. Funny, I was waiting for the new Escalade but once in the dealership the new car bug hit me. Love the truck after two day’s.
That’s for letting us know, this is great feedback for others.
The new naming scheme....why tho??? Newton meters? Sigh
Car Coach....... please compare this to the Hyundai Palaside. I am really looking there when my lease is up. Better looking vehicle and I would save $20,000. What say ye??
There is so much in the Palisade it’s a winner for sure.
Love the new format 👍
Disappointing car as I initially thought when they first revealed it.. I was rooting for Cadillac but they keep disappointing me, I hope I'm the only one.
mctaboo no it’s all around. The issue is they have similar quality to Kia, Current Toyota, the new Mazda 3, and some fords have even better quality. And that’s the issue. If you go inside a Cadillac, then go inside a Buick and for thousands less you get almost the same quality and materials. It’s so disappointing, especially when Lincoln is out here blasting them beyond the universe! Have you been in the new Lincoln’s. Compare them. I been in the new Lincoln Navigator and the new Cadillac Escalade both the same price... but the Cadillac had crappy cheap materials in a lot of areas, and not so good comfort, as well as less features and handling. It’s honestly mind bending how they keep asking what is going wrong then you look at every single car in the class and it seems they’re just basic spruced up passenger cars, not true luxury.
FluffyShark Datazz you’re so stupid it isn’t even funny. You don’t know what you’re talking about at all, so just shut up.
mybro727 okay just detailed 4 Cadillacs in the past few months and felt the quality and they literally are the same as the new Mazda. But sure I’ll believe that. I laugh at people who buy Escalades because they’re made with the same quality materials as gmc and have that same fake squishy coating that the Chevy suburban does on the dash and doors.
@@mybro727 You don't have to agree with his rightful opinion.. You can totally disagree with him in a respectful manner.. Just fyi.
FluffyShark Datazz Compare that to the previous model Lincoln Navigator that the current 6 year old Cadillac Escalade actually competed with...then try again. It’s not rocket science people. But it doesn’t make any logical sense to compare a brand new redesigned Navigator to the previous model Escalade and say “it’s better in every way”. That’s all I’m saying. You’d have to be kind of stupid if that makes sense to you.
It's not bad but it is underwhelming. Not up to the level of the new Lincoln Aviator.
True. Our Lincoln Aviator review is coming in mid August.
This review chinches it for me, I'm purchasing a all new Palisade or Telluride.
Also look at the Lincoln Aviator and Explorer
@@CarCoachReports Can't speak to the Aviator but the new Explorer, though obviously a significant improvement over the last generation, is really, really expensive, at least in terms of MSRP. The bottom line is that $50,000 buys an Explorer with few options and a 2.3L four cylinder turbo engine. Impressive in a base Mustang but seriously underwhelming and with questionable durability in a vehicle that weighs near 2.5 tons when loaded with fuel, passengers, and gear. There's a reason that almost every other manufacturer offers a larger naturally aspirated V6 as either a standard or optional choice in their midsize 3 row SUV's. (The only exceptions are Subaru and Mazda.) The only NA V6 available for the Explorer is in the hybrid edition. And the only other V6 offering is the turbo 3.0L in the ST or the highest "Platinum" trim level, each of which approaches $60,000 when moderately optioned.
Good choice! Both the Palisade & Telluride are incredible automobiles!
$71k (WHERE)! Do a side by side comparison with the 1st gen SRX 04-09. This should of been the 2nd generation SRX. 95% of this design is 10yrs old.
We agree
When u see Lincoln's new Aviator It's Crazy Totally Amazing to look at!!!...this thing not so much . Cadillac was asleep at the wheel when they designed this...
They weren't asleep, they just designed it 10yrs ago. This was going to be the 2nd generation srx. If you look at the xt6 next to a 04-09 srx you'll see why.
I wonder how long it's gonna take before the weather stripping fails and the headlights go out!
Cadillac was disappointing. We reviewed it
Lester Pierre I don’t know what y’all are looking at but this Cadillac XT6 is elegant and the design is striking on the road. It will outsell the Lincoln Aviator even after all its recalls are dealt with and repairs are done. The Cadillac Escalade is also going to blow the Navigator out of the water. Cadillac is NOT worried about Lincoln.
Look at the sales numbers. Lincoln is kicking their butt
Nothing but complete idiots in the comments. This vehicle is gorgeous. Great job Cadillac! Customers coming from the Cadillac XT5 will love it and it will bring in a sweep of new customers too.
We went and looked at t xt6 again today actually .
Still on the fence between it and the Treverse
XT6 offers so much more - check your insurance rates to help you decide
Get a Lincoln
Lincoln doesn't even have real leather seats
It's a shame they offer safety features as an option. No car company should do that. I can do without satellite radio or lumbar support, not safety. The rear hatch button up top is a good idea so kids are less likely to squish themselves. If they see you push a button, they will too. They don't forget those things.
I worked heavy construction for decades. It was a treat to find a five gallon bucket to sit on with your back against the wall for coffee break, rather than just sit on the floor. Sooo....lumbar support, pffft.
Good point. However, this segment of luxury SUVs has to offer all safety included to compete.
Love this SUV ... with its elegant lines ... its night vision ... individual seats in the 2nd row ... and its warm exterior colors. Minus the black cover ... under the roof. If you have such lovely white seats ... put the white on the roof cover, too.
It looks great. Seats aren’t comfortable.
@@CarCoachReports Yeah, I heard Bryan's "complain" about them. :))
This is a great idea for a video of the TH-cam
Nice little truck, love the night vision camera (Which should be standard on all cars one day) however, there are quite a few SUVs out there that are much nicer than the Cadillac.
Good review guys!
Thank you, we agree the night vision is very cool and future technology. So many premium SUVs in the category, Cadillac needs to offer more.
The aviator is much better
Agreed
The instrument gauges not being all digital when a Pallisade gives it to you as option. Cheap caddy. And BtW infrared was available in Caddy like 20 years ago.
It would be nice if the night vision was available across their product line as a standard feature.
Paul M You’re a simple minded fool. Digital gauge cluster does not make a vehicle higher quality than one without it. Rolls Royce, Bentley, etc. all lack a digital gauge cluster does tat mean a Hyundai Sonota or Palisade has better build quality than them too? Lol. You people are so simple minded. The gusts cluster in the Cadillac is clean, simple, and looks great. No need for a digital gauge cluster. And that doesn’t make a vehicle cheap either. 🤦🏽♂️
Kia and Hyundai do a better job of premium than Cadillac does and all the saftey is standard in the Koreans for much less $
And better value
Chico101 neither Kia nor Hyundai are luxury brands so of course they’d offer more for less money. If they cost anywhere near the XT6’s price tag nobody would buy them. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
@@mybro727 Please Google the term "Punching above their weight." No, they are not lux brands, and that's what makes the execution of what they accomplished with these vehicles even more astonishing. We've driven the XT6 and everything else in that competitive set--with the key word being "competitive." The biggest hurdle will be those brands' capability to bring the XT6 buyer into a Hyundai or Kia showroom to make the comparison for themselves. As I said, "Is the Aviator a better vehicle? Yes, but is it nearly $40G better? That's a tougher question." I suspect that fellow jurors on the NACTOY awards are (like us) being torn now by the value proposition when making their choices for the accolade. That said, we appreciate you watching what we said and hope you weigh in often!
Paul Brian I have experienced the Kia Telluride at the dealership in person. I have experienced the Cadillac XT6 in person. There are two different levels of build materials and two completely different levels of overall quality and refinement. Anyone that believes otherwise is a dream for car salesman across the nation. Gullible uneducated buyers.🤷🏾♂️
@@mybro727 Yes your right but backwards,the person who,s buy's the Cadillac thinking because they have the delusion it's a premium vehicle when we all know it's just a slightly fancier Chevy for $25000.00 more money it the salemans dream.I never said Kia and Hyundai are Premium cars,but they sure are a lot closer than the price difference .
GM must have cut their funding dramatically because Cadillac has ceased all innovation since de Nysschen and looks ready to be put in the ground. As many have mentioned, the coming Lincoln revolution should firmly nail Cadillacs coffin shut. Memories of Cadillacs “golden days” as mentioned in the video will likely be the primary sales driver for the XT6 but like the 2020 Stingray that target audience is starting to be dropped for a new younger one. Time of course will tell but this seems like a lazy pre-bailout excuse from GM...
I agree sadly, Cadillac, needs to offer more. We will be driving the Lincoln Aviator in mid-August.
Zero performance for that money, good luck Caddy😋
This is designed for comfort, not performance. Want performance in your 3 row crossover? Get a SRT version of the Dodge Durango.
@@76carmel I understand what you are saying but the fact is performance and luxury do go hand-in-hand.
@@klasseact6663 It's possible the second generation XT6 will be RWD in the far distant future. However, Cadillac is planning RWD EV crossovers which more than likely will be an enthusiasts' choice for performance. Rumor has it that there will be an XT7 RWD large crossover but nothing is certain yet. But I heard projects from Cadillac had been approved.
140th thumbs up. Never liked this Caddy.
Old dude must be smoking something from 60s. Who takes this over Escalade? I mean I take a Telluride or Pallisade or Aviator over this Caddy any day. It’s interior is cheap. It’s exterior is soft. It is front wheel drive. It doesn’t have enough room in back. Based on Traverse. Cheap GM? Yes.
To be accurate, the sport comes in all wheel drive only and the luxury has the optional all wheel drive. The Ford Explorer loaded is less expensive and beats the Cadillac in so many ways.
2020 ford explorer has 400 hundred horsepower why can't Cadillac get it 3.6 litre litre engine come on how much no way new gm same old problems never will learn
So true!
I'm with you. Why not the 3L turbo V6 that's in the CT6?
@@76carmel now that would make great sense I like it
@@johnmattiazzo3900 The XT6 is not a performance CUV. It will be fine for the vast majority of its buyers. There could be a V model coming out in a year or two, hopefully.
Cadillac is on the downslope.. like the gentleman in yellow. Just forget and move on.. Kia seems better than Cadillac lol
