With slumping sales in America, Cadillac looks to address the main issue with their current US lineup, a lack of crossovers. For 2019, the new from the ground-up XT4 looks to address that issue. Built off a #Cadillac exclusive platform that is small, yet strong. The XT4 represents the first of many changes coming to Cadillac in the next two years. Compared to many rivals, the #XT4 has FAR more interior space, a distinctive design, high-end features, and standard turbo power. While its starting price of $35,700 is very reasonable, be prepared for some sticker shock when you spec out a fully loaded Sport or Premium Luxury trim.
Cadillac deserves a lot of credit, all their cars are great looking and completely different from other GM vehicles. I love Cadillac because you can tell it's a Cadillac from a mile away, while other brands all blend together.
These new Crossovers are impressive, now I wanna see a new CTS, ATS and XTS
הכול טוב רק בעיה אחת יש במכונית המכונית לא מתורגמת לעברית ורוב הנהגים בישראל לא יודעים להפעיל את מערכות המכונית כי המכונית לא מתורגמת לעברית מה לא ברור חברי היקר
The two-tone interior is so damn appealing. Infotainment system is snappy. Wow!
The Helper Cadillac is doing a great job on the interior and infotainment system
this version of the infotainment debuted on existing models. Its not brand new.
Sheth Jones I know I’m just sayin it’s a good system
That's not what I expected by Caddilac there is a lot of good changes glad that Cadillac responded to the complaints. Its a lovely car.

Your intro is a breath of fresh air, Sofyan. Masterpiece review, sleek and truly outstanding car. I believe a lot of buyers will have their eyes on this car, though the prices are a bit on the high side.
As always, an in-depth review that highlights the very important points. Keep doing what you do, Sofyan. There's never a dull moment in your reviews. Again, your intro is top notch. Well done!

Wow! I'm quite surprised and ultimately impressed to see Cadillac not only using minimal part sharing (with other GM products), but actually developing an all-new platform that isn't shared with any other Chevy or GMC crossovers! Quite impressive indeed.
All in all, the XT4 should compete and hold its own very well in its segment. The styling looks great, the technology is top-notch, and the cabin appears to be pretty spacious.
From one car reviewer to another, keep up the great work, Sofyan!
One of the snappiest infotainment systems I've seen to date. Very impressive.
Soft touch materials, volume nobs and no black plastic trim. Cadillac is seriously upping their game 😱
Took them long enough lolz
on their 35k crossover.... were is the Escalade
Bdubz new Escalade is still being developed
Even Hyundai and KIA got soft touch before Cadillac. This thing is ugly tho...doubt Cadillac will ever sell outside of the geriatric middle america demographics.
LOL. "Upping their game?" What they are trying to do is shove a lie "up somewhere." This car is pathetic and a joke. But one thing it is not, is a Cadillac.
Whew! Glad Cadillac didn't follow the rest of the crowd with that tacked on nav unit eyesore like the rest of them! Love the ergonomic layout of this interior. Great job Caddy! Keep designing elegant & functional vehicles & you will be the "Standard Of The World" definitely!!
I really love Cadillac's styling the past few years. I'm not usually into the whole futuristic look, but for some reason they make it work. I want a CTS so badly!
U and me both. This is cute, but the CTS is like the sexy older sibling
The current CTS is a timeless design. Probably my favorite sedan.
Jessica Rose Same.
I bought an old cts 3.2L from 2004, it was like finding a gem in a pile of trash, so happy with it.

That cake in the foot well at 16:33 LOL
It was actually a cinnamon bun lol!
Gm/Cadillac is finally going in the right direction. Beautiful vehicle
He'll no! Looks like shit, interior sheap plastic looking
Finally? Cadillac at one time was second only to Rolls Royce/Bentley, yea they lost their touch from mid 70s up until the last decade (Truth be told the bulk of the auto industry was crap for the 80s & 90s)
Has Cadillac fixed the bug that the Cadillac Cue has? My 2016 is on the 3rd radio system. My warranty is about to expire and I'm worried it will go out again. Google Cadillac Cue. One person has replaced his 5 times. This isn't a new thing .It has been happening since the Cue was first put in the car.
I just picked up my brand new 2020 XT4 and it is a great looking vehicle! I am so impressed with this vehicle .. Cadillac has hit a home run here ... neighbours are full of compliments.. Vehicle rides smooth , so
much technology, refined , all you would need in a small SUV . A happy customer ..!
I"m actually quite impressed by the interior.
Yeah exactly, Id defo say they've upped their game.
2 much money
I'm impressed with the exterior. This has to be the best looking crossover
Well dude it's a cadillac

This is a very appealing American SUV first time I admire a non European SUV. The interior is very elegant and I like that two tone interior. The red paint looks gorgeous it has the same appeal as the Mazda CX-5 soul red crystal even the interior quality is quiet similar.
Odds are most people won't be buying the top of the line model. I'd be happy spending mid 40s on this car. I love the way this car looks. It's so much nicer than five years ago.

@imahelpfulperson thank you! I'm gonna do my very best in the next few days to provide some high definition content!
Had my XT4 for 8 months now. I love it. Great power on both highway and street, great blend of luxury/sport ride quality. Interior and Apple car play great. Only downside: door rattle like a cheap car when you shut them. Other than that, I love this car. I highly recommend.
also its by far the best looking small SUV or CUV out there. Not even close.
How has your XT4 held up over the years? Any issues and how many miles do you have on it?
Every Camaro needs Lane Change Alert and Rear Cross Traffic standard.
Kyle Cordiano agreed .
Every car period needs those things as standard, along with blind spot detection and other safety tech in the realm of those. They should never be options in a package in cars nowadays. They need to be basic safety a la the seatbelt, abs, airbags, etc. It's especially a huge slap in the face when your starting out with a $50k car and those basic items are in an options package.
Hey auto industry, no more paying extra to have a safer car!
Kyle Cordiano The 2019 Camaro is getting the rear view camera mirror.
All this driver assistance safety tech and features are for morons. how about just learning how to drive without playing with a cell phone at the same time.
@@mscongeniality8205 I drive a 2018 honda accord ex l, she comes with all the cool new safety features from lowest model to top touring, should be standard feature like seat belts and air bags, not an option.
I really want this car... I love the updates Cadillac is applying to their new cars.
Love this car best Cadillac I have ever owned. Andrews custom ordered this for me and I have nothing to say except they gave me the best treatment anyone could ask for. Thanks Andrew’s for my new XT4.
Cadillac is going in a great direction! Excited to see if a ‘CT5’ will be next.
its coming 2019
Sheth Jones thanks for the info!
CT5, CT4, and XT6 are coming over the next year or two.

Oh, it's next....and it sucks.
First off, this is the most well done First Drive review I've seen of this vehicle to date. Well done. My wife currently has a full size 5 passenger crossover and she's looking to downsize as we will be empty-nester's next year. The sub-compacts are too small. This vehicle looks to be the perfect size. Smaller but, not too small. The Premium Luxury package has all the right features and comes in at the mid to upper 40K price range which exactly what we are willing to pay. I don't imagine Cadillac will sell many in the mid 50K price range.
Very impressed with this car. The vibe prints much larger than its actual size. I’d take this over a GLA, X1, or NX any day.
The front fascia + the vehicle's dimensions = sooo GOOD 💞
Always appreciated the modern Cadillac design language, never loved it, but THIS does it for me. This is super. In the market for a small luxury SUV rn & I am extra excited now
Best looking SUV on the market!!! Disappointed in this new 2.0T, I think the old 2.0T was much better option to put in this 272 horsepower and and 295 torque
I clicked on this so fast! Lol. Sofyan, you have the best reviews and that’s genuinely my unbiased opinion. Thanks to you, small details are revealed on these vehicles.
Anyway, as always great review. I can’t wait until you review the new Cadillac Escalade, 2019 Caddy CT6, Escala, and XT7! Bet your money I’ll be waiting for the best reviewer to review the most stylish luxury performance vehicles America has to offer!
Excellent Review, just leased one today, a fully loaded 54K version. Surprisingly they lease very well. So Cadillac is betting on high residuals, true or not 3 years later. But for under 18k or 22K you can have one for 3 or 4 years which is less than the depreciation if you purchased one outright.
I watch all of your reviews and feel like I am so much more informed about cars, SUV's and crossovers. I like the videos because you give us the facts and your own opinion about the vehicles that you review. Thanks
I'm Surprised that Sofyan doesn't have over Million Subscribers! One of the best reviewer out there!
Cadillac cleaning up their act!
Eric Huh yea they are and this is one of their masterpieces
Like the sport but have always been a base model guy, I put after market rims and little after market touches here and there just to make mine unique. I also think I class up a caddy better than Cadillac does. I will def be getting my self one of these.
Finally a nice looking CUV. This looks like a man can drive it.
Coming back after the video and hearing the price: Kinda think $56K is some bullshit.
Agreed! Fully loaded, it's $10k too much. This really should have the XC40 as it's direct competitor. That fully loaded is in the $43-45k range, and imo a much better all around car than this Caddy.
@@jeffs6090 couldn't have said it better myself. It's just way too much for the size and scope of what they're offering. Of course this is top trim and stuff but theres not exactly an insane amount of shit in this car that I dont see happening in the non-luxury full-size sedans that are in the mid 30s and low 40s. I just can't justify another 16K just for a higher ceiling. The car's not safer or made of a different material so what's the deal here?? This is why the American vehicles dont beat Japanese
@@devongee1776 - full disclosure... I drive a loaded XC40 (about $43k), and I utterly love it! The XT4 might be slightly bigger, but it has a less powerful engine than my T5 (a ~180hp T4 will come soon). Then with all the same features, I would never put down another $10k for this. I feel that this car will just make people go straight to the Volvo dealerships (or others). Plus, the worldwide demand for the XC40 is through the roof.
Devon, The 56K price tag is a MAX'd out vehicle with every available option on the order list. Very very few people will order/buy such a vehicle. Any vehicle if ordered with all options will price out well above what most people are willing to pay. This vehicle very well equipped has an MSRP in the mid to upper 40K range. Very reasonably priced for what it has to offer.
@@al8603cl I'm fully aware of what difference a trim level makes haha. I am stating THE CAR HES REVIEWING is not worth $56K in my book
I love the dashboard of this car. Good job Caddilac
Wow Sofyan I’m surprised that you mentioned Saab 9-3 Sport-Combi with the rear lights I agree.
Wow I'm impressed
Me to.

Wow I have been waiting for what feels like for ever to see a driving review!!! It’s an amazing car!!! Can’t wait for the 2019 CT6
God damn this thing is gorgous, especialy that interior
Omg Sofyan! I’ve been so excited to see your review on this car! My moms had an SRX twice in the past then upgraded to the new XT5, but is now thinking of the XT4. I love the exterior styling, but I think the 4 cylinder is slightly limiting considering the “sport” label.
Much credit to Cadillac for FINALLY addressing their substandard interior materials. I think this represents the best interior available from the brand right now.
As a proud owner of an 'old saab 93 wagon', I'm forever thankful that you see what I saw in the taillight design! Love your videos man.
Can't wait to see how the refreshed 2020 Escalade will look like
Carlos Alberto me too the current one has been out a couple years I still believe that all the Cadillac dna will still stay
The next Escalade will be all new.
Todd Wilson yea and with a new platform
finally. i have been waiting for you to review this suv👍🏻👍🏼👍🏼😀
Haroon G.C Not a SUV, unibody frame!
Its a dune buggy hatch back.
Haroon G.C ordered mine already same color! #Cadillac
Wow, it looks so much better in real life!! The entire design is stunning and the powertrain and infotainment systems are just loaded with some very impressive innovations. European and Japanese automakers should take notice.!
I guess I'm the only one that liked Cadillac s interiors before.
Wow best interior GM has done in a long time. Love the new gauges. Clean simple but still nice.
Look better than the Lexus NX.
In your opinion...
Cadillac's headlights look great but they're literally blinding at night
Ervin0310 exactly they’re too bright when they past my car at night, you would think their high beams are on
Ervin0310 lol most newer vehicles have bright low beams that blind you at night if you’re dumb enough to look into them. It might just be the angle that you’re looking into their lights that’s blinding you as well. If you’re at eye level or below you’ll definitely be blinded at night.
I have experienced this before while driving in front of a Escalade since they have a 5 level vertically stacked LED low beam setup, literally 4 or 5 different heights of light displayed. They also sit higher off the ground than most vehicles on the road so if you’re in a car it’s possible you’re exposed to it’s brightest beams of light. I hope the new Escalade has adaptive low beams as standard or at least as an option.
It's already bright enough at day time.
Ms Congeniality you say that as if I don’t know that a lot of new cars have bright headlights, and who said I was staring into them? Coming from behind the glare is ridiculous. Whether I’m in an SUV or a low sitting car the lights reflect off of every mirror and piece of glass possible BLINDING me and night. Coming from the opposite direction they’re BLINDING regardless of the vehicle type. I said what I said. Thanks for your input tho.
Ervin0310 I said what I said as well. You *acted* as if you didn’t know, so I simply educated the uneducated. If you already knew what was the point in making the original comment? I digress. You’re welcome.
The road test is exactly the route I love to take my motorcycle on! Cool!
I was watching one of your older videos today (manual 4th gen TL) and realized how fit you have gotten haha congrats
I like that certain things have been upgraded in quality like the window buttons and infotainment buttons. Interior quality over all seems to be really good and more user friendly. Regardless Cadillac will sell a ton of these little guys. Considering its size I think it’s very well proportioned over the bigger XT5
I GOT A CAR WITH AN APP.. I DONT MEAN I SHOP FOR A CAR... .... BLAH BLAH... THIS AD IS KILLING ME..
SAS15G Omg YES!!!
Same :(((
P pimps up hoes down
NB
I actually really like this Cadillac. It is very appealing.❗️
LOVE the way this car looks. Inside and out. So glad to see the updated infotainment is snappy with nice graphics. Cadillac, literally take this interior and place it in your next small sedan. The ATS drives great but that interior is a no-no. Cut and paste this interior as-is PLEASE!
Really nice car. Great review. And, you made it the whole way without saying "not your grandfather's Cadillac."
Very Nice car i think it will sell well
I’ve been driving Mercedes and my wife drives an audi last year we bought our 3rd ATS honestly the new caddies are more car for the money than anyone. They drive at the same level as any German competition and blew the infinti we test drove out of the water . Got this when I brought ATS in for 35k check up and got this as a rental. Fair to say it will be my wife’s next car. Extremely affordable (for luxury cars) soooo comfortable def sporty and beautiful honestly I wish it were a little higher horsepower but other than that it’s amazing
6:36 reminds me of the news saying it was peaceful as a dumpster fire rages in the background
Own two xt5’s 2017 and 2019, once the 17 is paid trading in for 2020 corvette. Trucks have been amazing, my platinum edition is quick and handles like a sports car.
I'm all about looks. And this is a very nice looking Crossover. Inside and out.🙂
What's the obsession with soft touch material on the dash?
Are you going to be sleeping up there?
Its represents how luxurious or how well the build quality of the car
Wait till the sun gets to it, it'll look like shit
Oceanic Flight how come soft touch material in Toyota and Lexus lasts for decades? Even in the California sun?
Depends if you put a sun riser on or not. But that leather will fade on the dash fast in the sun.
DIAMLER did you forget about the recall Toyota and Lexus have done and are doing on their soft touch dashboard that cracked and melted?
great review and reviewer, i actually binge watch these, lol
The interior is nice Cadillac did a nice job with this

Put drive MODE in SPORT before you say it isn't sport tuned changes shifting too. Probably changes the paddle shift speed. Nice video! Thank YOU!
Great looking CUV, slightly Volvo-like. Excellent review as always!
I love that intro this was one of the best reviews
Good video. I like how you are consistent and thorough, but you don't bore me to tears like Saab people.
.
17:03
My moms XT5 was doing that rattling noise in her front passenger brakes. Turns out the bearings were not all the way secured so it’s expected to hear quality control issues.
Noted. Thank you
Welcome to my neck of the woods, it's so funny seeing the same highway I drive on being shown on your reviews. Hopefully the Seattle traffic didn't piss you off too badly lol :)
ryuoif122 It was our first time in Seattle too. Very lovely place and the traffic wasn’t as bad as DC thankfully. We look forward to coming back soon!
I think it’s a nice looking vehicle and like that it’s a couple inches wider. I need a little extra room on the interior for me, I’m disabled and am having trouble finding a car or SUV I can access without a lot of trouble. I also love that shade of red. Enjoy watching your videos, you give us good info on the vehicles you drive. Thanks and God bless.
I really loved the interior of this vehicle. Is very simple and elegant.
Definitely a good-looking car it has a lot of presents and boldness to it without looking Gotti
I just want to say that I truly enjoy your reviews and trust your opinion to the point that I actually look to see if you've received a vehicle before considering it or when I'm comparing cars. I'm one of your regular viewers, although this is the first time I've commented. Continue doing what you're doing. :)
Wait for the V-Sport version. Not a lot of standard features like competition. I will wait till it is better price before demoing the XT4!
Just got mine today black with black wheels this is my 4th Cadillac just traded in my 2018 XT5 was concerned I wouldn't like the XT for cars it smaller headed A-day and I absolutely love it I really do it's fast it's feel sporty has great move while driving in-and-out I can't believe I'm so happy about it cause I was really Concerned but I'm in love with it
You still in love with it? Is it a keeper? Any issues or complaints?
This is a relatively good review of a relatively good looking car.
Really though. Nice review!
Nice car, the size is perfect for the most of us who doesn't need to drive a monstertruck to look "cool".
You have hit the nail on the head, Cadillac is listening
Awesome review 👍
However, I feel it's a little expensive for the top trim with all the options included. That's sad.
But over all, it's a really cool looking car.
Do a rerview on the Mazda cx9 2019
Welcome to Auburn, WA! too bad you weren't driving around Mt Rainier National Park
Excellent review Sofyan, Cadillac makes you pay for their Union production coasts @$60K. Now 12k retail off of this model shown, deal or wait for it preowned.
A V-sport version of that with the twin-turbo 3.0 would be ultra sweet!
Dream car 😍 I’m determined to have this!!
Beautiful vehicle. Cadillac is doing the right thing by separating themselves form the other GM divisions (Chevrolet, GMC, Buick) by designing their own stuff from the ground up. That looks like a well thought out SUV.
Never thought I would consider a vehicle from this brand, but really like this! Great review!
I think it looks good overall, even at the higher price points. Being a late entry, I agree with you that Cadillac needs to get a Super Cruise package for the XT4 asap. That would make it stand out from the competition.
When it comes to crossovers Gm has their formula spot on
I agree, it's odd that Cadillac doesn't have more standard safety features. CR says Cadillac has the best self driving system, so you know they have it. Toyota makes this stuff standard on nearly all their cars now.
Don't forget, as you break down the pricing, all the rebates and incentivized financing that GM will offer. I wish they didn't play that shell game, but you know they will.
Allen Majane nope. Cadillac has apparently heard too many comments like this and now I hear they’re going to stop the rebating and incentives starting in the U.S. basically in order to improve resale value of the brand so say goodbye to the Caddy drivers on a budget.
Ms Congeniality Cadillac has $8,000 cash on the hood of the XT5. Too much money made on SUVs to stop the incentive train on GM vehicles.
All luxury vehicles depreciate rapidly, even Lexus.
@Ricky Holmes 100% agree
@@mscongeniality8205 I'll believe it when I see it...
Norm T Well I don’t believe the offering of incentives at Cadillac will come to a screeching halt, but I do believe they will decrease and offer them less in the future. I think it’s safe to say Cadillacs hold their value better than some other popular luxury brands. Their build quality and refinement has went up several levels within the last 10 years. Looking at the new XT5 or even this XT4 it’s obvious their prices are reflecting this new level of craftsmanship and so their resale value ought to do the same. That’s the plan anyway, so I hear. We shall see.
Awesome review! Cadillac is certainly going the right direction BUT $50k+ for the top trims is just insane. Not sure what they were thinking but after a few months of the top trims sitting on the lots, there will be incentives. Just gotta be patient or wait for the next model year!
Fast no bullshit... love your reviews... respect my time and get to the points. thx
Someone finally bought a drone.... Good investment for your line of work.
I love your reviews! Not a fan of Cadillacs but this was surprisingly nice. I'm looking forward to you reviewing the vw arteon! Props from across the bridge in MD!
That place where you reviewed this car is so beautiful
Just got one and I love it. My only complaint is it didn’t come with standard imbedded navigation
They should make a v sport trim

So why the back windows have express Down but not up?
Even with this many subs, I am sorta surprised at how he hasn't really tried to improve the level of camera work/cinematography of this channel.
Interior reminds of the Jaguar E-Pace's, which is a good thing. And thank God this one looks way better from the outside ...
Cadillac might have the best cohesive design throughout their lineup.
Great review nice vehicle but I almost choked up a bit when he mentioned Saab damn you GM! 😂
