2020 Cadillac XT6 | Checking All The Boxes? | TestDriveNow

- It’s been a little while since Cadillac offered a car-based 3-row crossover in their lineup but the all-new XT6 is here to fill that vacancy. So, when the Escalade is more than you need Caddy now has another head-turning SUV with a more palatable price tag.
MSRP as-tested: $73,040

You have provided us with another non-biased tastefully prepared automotive review! Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I hope to meet you someday ;-)
Steve, this was a great overview! I gotta say, the look of this is growing on me, but that price is laughable. Just another Cadillac overpriced by 20%. Look what Hyundai and Kia are doing for 30k less!!
And the Hyundai and Kia are probably more reliable!
Thanks!
bassandtrebleclef I don’t know why people make these ridiculous comparisons. It doesn’t make a lick of sense to compare the value propositions of Hyundai/KIA to the luxury brand _Cadillac._ That’s like comparing a $50,000 Chevrolet SS to a $65,000 Genesis G70 with the caption “Look what Chevy is doing for $15,000 less.” Hyundai couldn’t charge as much as Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Range Rover, etc. for anything even if they wanted to because no one would buy it. They’re a bang for buck brand, the cheap alternative brand. Not a “we do it better or the only to offer this so we charge a premium” brand.
Thanks Steve for another great review I can't wait till you get your hands on a 2020 Aviator or even the 2020 Ford Explorer
Thanks, Bryant! looking forward to it.
By then I hope most of the serious flaws are worked out
Spruce up the interior, drop the 3.0TT V6 and tou have a winner. I agree, that 3.6 V6 is overused by GM. I see too much GM bean counters influence here. GM needs to give Cadillac more free reign to be successful, otherwise, it'll continue to be a Chevy with lipstick.
The elephant in the room is the Lincoln Aviator. The mouse is the Cadillac XT6. Can't think of solid reasons why to choose the Caddy over the Lincoln. In addition, the Lincoln has exterior & interior lines that will age better then the Caddy.
Tully3674 That’s a lie. The Cadillac has the more cohesive design and will definitely age better. Several reasons to choose a XT6 over a Aviator. The Lincoln is already having issues, has already been recalled and the Cadillac has not. The Lincoln doesn’t offer a more reliable naturally aspirated engine option, the Cadillac does. Lincoln does not offer night vision, rear view camera mirror technology, nor an autonomous driving technology (SuperCruise), the Cadillac does. The Lincoln is also $92,000 at top trim fully loaded despite the fact it lacks the features and equipment i just listed. The Cadillac XT6 Sport with Platinum package is nearly $20,000 less. I could go on.
I think there are plenty of solid reasons that people will choose the Cadillac over the Aviator. Looks are subjective, but the Aviator’s front end looks funny to me. The Navigator’s front end just looks more cohesive than that of the Aviator. Idk if it’s too small or what. Cadillac knocked the design of the XT6 out of the park imo.
Cadillac has no business asking for $70K with that interior
Especially with what Lincoln is offering nowadays
Ganesh Thippeswamy Lol. You’re on crack. Have you seen the inside of a new Lexus LX?? It cost way more than $70,000 btw. Cadillac just has a bunch of illogical trolls nowadays.
I don’t know a lot about these cars, but after watching this I don’t get WTF you’re talking about at all. 🤔
I'm with you. Pricing Is based on the Cadillac name.
@@mybro727 LX is not in the same class as XT6. LX is on par with Escalade.
Wow...my fully loaded 2019 KIA Sorento SXL has more features than this, the Cadi costs over $70,000 and doesn't even have rear sun shades 😲😯..
Yep, I have a fully loaded Santa Fe XL and I love the rear sunshades, use them all the time, unacceptable this vehicle doesn't have them, for the money it costs it should have massage seats really.
@@rj9617 and the KIA has more features, better realiability ratings, and better warranty among other things 🤷🏾♂️
Townsend Milligan I have the same exact car an still love it after a year. Every other vehicle means loosing features
I own a Sorento SX-L, as well. And I could have purchased a $32K+ vehicle to go along with it for the Caddy's MSRP. In fact, I did, a GTI. But that misses the point of purchasing a Caddy. For aging country club members and NBA non-stars that crest on the hood is worth a bundle. Unfortunately, professional athletes don't constitute a significant market category and much like the Republican party, aging country club members are a dying breed.
Townsend Milligan KIA wouldn’t sell a single Sorento at $70,000 either. You’re comparing apples 🍎 to oranges 🍊 . Thanks!
It’s good that GM is using the old Saturn plant
The Lincoln Aviator is a good choice
Sise Esan before or after it’s issues and recalls are fixed?
One word... boring
Also only 4,000 pounds towing??! Sounds low
Sounds like a strong player under $60k.
A weak player at over $70k
Fair.
Not even $60K. There's nothing differentiating this from a Kia Telluride.
Most XT6s will be priced in the $57-65k range.
Stefan Thompson Well the fact one is a cheaply made Hyundai and the other is a quality built Cadillac. There’s a comparison video up of the two where he shows the difference in build quality, craftsmanship and refinement alone. Apples 🍏 to oranges 🍊.

@@mybro727 Two things:
1. Just because it's a Cadillac, doesn't mean that it's well-built. Remember that Cadillac is under GM and that they share many parts/platforms, etc. Too, several reviewers have been complaining about the fit and finish of this vehicle in particular: that's not a sign off a well-built vehicle. Yes, quality is subjective, but you should expect certain boxes to be automatically checked at this price point.
2. I've owned one of the newer generation Kia's (Sportage) for about 9 years now. You can say a lot about my car, but you can't say that it is not well-built or that it is cheaply made. The for and finish is great and it does much of what other, more expensive vehicles do, but for a better value.
Not apples and oranges; just a little research coupled with experience.
Beautiful Chevy
Unimpressive new offering from Cadillac Nice review, though
Thanks!
2:40 nitpicking, but that button panel flex though. Over $70 grand and it has a basic, non turbo or V8, engine? That's a pass for me.
I think Cadillac is saying, "Wanna a bigger engine and tow a boat? Get an Escalade.".
However, the 3.6L V6 (though tried and true) needs a bump in hp to 335 that's currently in the CT6 and CTS.
I just have a hard time justifying the price. I would say that it’s better than the qx60, RXL, and mdx but anything above 70 grand the xt6 struggles against tougher/ more upscale competition (gle, aviator, xc90, q7)
Give me this body with Lincoln powertrain
CADILLAC BETTER READ THE BOOK THAT LINCOLN DESIGNERS & ENGINEERS ARE USING.... Quiet smooth luxurious cruising is the name of the game.
I would concur.
This is bean-counter innovation you get from a bankrupt company. Agree on looks, a great shot in right direction, just stopped short. GM has no idea how to make Cadillac competitive anymore.
Steve, another great review. Do you think Cadillac should add the 410hp turbo 3.6 from the XTS and make it a v sport? At least it would be more competitive against the Lincoln Aviator.
Absolutely. OR...the Blackwing V8 for an XTS-V!
That would be great but, the XT6 is fwd based and I believe the Blackwing V8 is for rwd based applications like the CT6 and the Escalade
Don’t get why companies like Cadillac even exist when people now have much better choice in premium and popular brands? - unless Cadillac has similar options and features to offer at a much lower price.
The Sport should have the 3.6 twin turbo with AWD. I feel like this CUV is half ass
I agree with Steve Cadillac could be doing a lot more a lot better than everybody else right now. Is the standard of the world. I hope they don’t mess up the Escalade
T-ROY oh they didn’t.Somebody saw the 2021 Escalade at the Arlington plant in Texas and it was uncovered and it looks amazing it has the same headlights as the xt6,it also has the same chrome grille as the xt6 but bigger and Cadillac teased the interior and the screen is 38 inches and its oled,it’s the same interior as the escala concept except for the steering wheel and shifter
Curious how it compares to the Traverse High Country since it’s basically the same vehicle
ruclips.net/video/Jb5OG1VB_Lw/видео.html
GM needs to take a look around at Ford/Lincoln and Kia/Hyundai. They use the same underpinnings and but make them look so much unlike each other. Caddy's interior looks so much like the basic Chevy's and Buick's.
True. Not special enough at this $$$.
Mike Hoard This interior literally looks nothing like any Chevrolet products currently on the market. You guys are literally making things up at this point. Smh
Gosh dang it Caddy, you missed the mark again. But good try, good try
That color is absolutely gorgeous.
Hooray, Cadillac finally got its minivan.
Not unusual for this segment. If you want a truck, get an Expy or Yukon/Tahoe.
Too bad it's not on its own platform and Rwd bias. It's really not competitive with other luxury 3rd row vehicles. I'd save the money and get more room with the Buick Enclave if it had to be a GM made vehicle. Not a bad offering from GM just not enough to justify the price.
Other than the third row seating, the BMW X5 starts 66k and a nicely equip one is like 70k with way better looks and driving dynamics.
who wants to drive a BMW X5 nowadays…
@@FreelikeaBird999
I’m not saying that but you’d rather pay 66k for a glorified Chevy Traverse.
Chevy Traverse with Cadillac badge. Lol
Do a Lincoln aviator review ! That blows this out of the water
I'm trying to secure a loan.
I just watched Edmund’s Micah reviewing this and he pointed out many plastic trim gaps which didn’t sit well with him.
People hate on the crossover but I like it..
I like it, too. Just needs a few revision. s.
I don't hate it. I think the hate comes from the premium price for a not so premium cabin.
Kevin MZY That’s the thing...who says the cabin isn’t premium though? Have you been in it? Lol. Smh
what means 0-60 about 7 sec? does that means 6,6 or 7,4 sec? XT4 2.0T 0-60 about 7 sec, XT4 3,6 0-60 about 7 sec, XT5 2,0T 0-60 about 7 sec, XT5 3,6 0-60 about 7 sec, XT6 2,0 0-60 about 7 sec, XT6 3,6 0-60 about 7 sec... WTF?!
6.9
Thanks ☺️
I think this XT6 is better looking than the overhyped Escalade. An XT6-V would’ve been nice though.
Totally.
@stevehammes oh good. Somebody else agrees with me!
Would be nice if they did not stop dead in the middle of the highway only 5-weeks after delivery. It's been two weeks, and I still don't have it back, and neither dealer nor Cadillac knows when it will be fixed. Looks good, drives okay, and no customer service whatsoever.
What's the problem?
The car would not start. After 5 days, the dealer diagnosed it as a faulty front camera that supposedly serves as a hub for a high speed comm cable.
Looks like a Station wagon
That Caddy badge is carrying a bigly premium.
Lol @ bigly
Good video
Fantastic car
Only Lexus was lazier than Cadillac in finally delivering a 3-row unibody. This has the exact same problem that the CT6 does, that's also a $50K car with a $50K interior that can hit $90K. Cadillac should be glad that Genesis is taking so long to deliver an SUV, because when they do, it's going to absolutely blow this out of the water, probably even more than the Aviator already does.
David Kay 😂😂😂
Did you say "Cardinal"? ;-)
I have no idea.
so many people saying aviator who have no idea that the aviator has TONS of lemons. dont believe me? google it. also you can get this xt6 sport for 55k no reason to build it up to 70k
I know that many people are stating that the Lincoln Aviator is so much better... however, Ford is having production issues with the Aviator and its mainstream Explorer. Hopefully, over time, with a new RWD platform, the Ford plant where it's made (Chicago) will get all the production bugs worked out.
As Steve has said, Cadillac's XT6 should be considered if you want a 3-row luxury crossover.
And SuperCruise needs to be in all Caddys.
Super Cruise would make up for other shortcomings. Told it's coming soon.
Billy Sou Super Cruise actually will be available on this vehicle soon.
The Lincoln Aviator is going to obliterate that exorbitantly-priced “luxurious Trailblazer” in every facet - Cadillac needs a huge revamp soon because they’ve turned into Chevrolet ... with glimmer, in my opinion.
I just said the same thing: this looks like a Blazer with lipstick and earrings. Not worth what they're asking.
Nice looking ride but really should’ve had supercruise available.
ShermanMR2 it’s going to have the super cruise in 2021 or 22
Good review.
Cadillac doesn't seem to be a luxury brand anymore: they're looking more like a premium brand. This particular vehicle looks more like a Blazer with lipstick and earrings: definitely not a $70K+ vehicle. The Aviator, however, is looking like the better option today.
Thanks, Stefan! I think you're right.
And then, I drove the BMW X7......
For sure!
@@stevehammes You should make a video of X7 :)

Great review Steve... I love this new caddy ... it’s gorgeous.. now I’m more upset that it doesn’t have a better heads up display at this price... that one look like it came out of a Chevy traverse at 73k😳.. I do understand the demand for more power but that 400 mile driving range is sweet.. and guarantee it’s a set out of town ride.. I would buy this
For sure! Love the looks.
Good review man.
Thanks!
I'd rather have loaded KIA Sorento with more features and a better warranty... and $30K securely in my pocket.
It's like they carved a Ford Explorer out of butter and let it sit out in the sun for the afternoon. The $70K price tag isn't the worst thing considering the price of other similar vehicles. That being said those vehicles would have many of the short comings you mentioned that this ride most certainly lacks. That's a hard pass for me.
I will have one of these one day
hard to buy this when you can get a farrr superior Lincoln aviator
It’s ugly
