You talked about having the engine closer to the firewall. When auto makers first started with sideways engines they were closer to the firewall, it created so much heat that it was degrading and blowing head gaskets and valve cover gaskets. So the solution is to give the engine some breathing room and not trap the heat between the engine and firewall.
I 1000% approve this message
😮😢:
I love the new ‘boxy’ body style Cadillac is going with. It reminds me of the older box body GM vehicles in the 70’s and 80’s
I admire how hard you work dude it's respectable and your videos are always above my expectations good job my man
Love your reviews Raiti. I can tell you do it cuz you love doing it. Keep up the good work.
I’m a simple man, I see a new Raiti’s Rides video, I click like
You are the man!
@Mild Dark Humor; Right on brother.
@@metaljew4456 Thanks brother!
"Lets go ahead and
fire it up and see what this v6 sounds like ".. im stilling waiting to hear it 🤣😂🤣 Major ZONK
Trust me I felt the same way!
LOL - I saw your comment and was waiting for this moment in the video and when it cut to the rear-exhaust shot, I legit sat here waiting for him to start it up THEN realized he was revving it. *ZONK*
@Kenny Powers a year later still waiting 😂😂😂
And still !!!
It's like they weren't even aware of what Lincoln was doing with the Aviator. I'm usually a Cadillac fan but needs more power and standard magnetic ride control. A more upscale interior wouldn't hurt either.
I totally agree with you Steven!
But doesn't ride like a PROPER CADILLAC anymore like a Cadillac Brougham/Fleetwood like a Floaty Land Yacht now that B******DIZING that CADILLAC BRAND sadly!Last REAL CADILLAC are the 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood!I've been in a 1959 Cadillac 62 series convertible once and rode beautifully like a Floaty Land Yacht in a good way in a museum oncr!But now they don't make them what they used to sadly in a newer Cadillacs!Even seen the reviews that rode more like a Toyota Camry than a CADILLAC in a bad way!
Hey Joe Raiti. Came across your channel few weeks ago. I'm enjoying your reviews and your catch-phrases; zonk, vitamin D, and business end. Keep up the great work good sir. And yes, please please please review as many SUV's & crossovers that you can, all sizes and shapes.
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.
Any issues with the car after one year?? I'm thinking of getting the same car
@@mrreginator No issues other than routine maintenance. The car has been terrific and I still love it!
Not many reviews i have watched without skipping.NICELY DONE!
Awesome video as always 👍. Keep hitting homeruns!! Bringing the newest to us. Appreciate it 👍
Thanks Radell! stay tuned because there is more to come!
great job Joe god bless brother I said it week or before the month was over u was going to hit that mark I'm so excited for the channel Joe straight from the heart
i love your reviews. id never get most of the cars you review but i still like watching them lol. really interesting and honest, which i like. i feel like a lot of people either totally shit on or totally drool over the cars in their reviews, showing an obvious bias which is misleading when watching a review. keep it up brother, almost at 100k
I needed to comment something here before 100k. It was an honour to join in your journey since those days of a few hundred subs.
Great job Joe. I see there being massive deals on these in the future...
100k subscribers not bad 👍🏽🎉🍾🎊✊🏽🍻 congrats
I honestly prefer the interior design the XT6 has compared to the Lincoln aviator I hate tablet style infotainment screens!!!!! Both cars are very nice and both are worth the price tags the Cadillac and Lincoln just do it in different flavors!!!
That camera on the top rear is for the rearview mirror, it still has the back up camera above the plate
Great review as always 👍
Ricardo D thanks my friend!
Please review a Lincoln Aviator. Love your vids!
Please don't
He did...:) I'd definitely go with the Aviator!!
I watched today because yesterday a white one like this was pulling out of my neighborhood and I thought that looks pretty good. Nice fair review!
Definitely agree with the zonks on this one. Cadillac had a gem but cut some things that really would have made it a great vehicle.
Great review as always!
Great review like always, you should be a car design consultant. You really know what a family car guy needs.
Good pick on this Cadillac SUV, I actually like it!
This is my favorite SUV!! Good video Joe.
I am so glad that i can be the one to bring to you!
Thank you so much for this review. My wife and I just purchased a 2020 and will pick it up next week. Did not know about the head-up display or the mirror camera. I am looking forward to driving this Caddy!
Hi.. did you love your cadillac? How reliable is it? I'm thinking of purchasing soon
Very good test!
Exterior is amazing, perfect mix of luxury and sport looking, major key is getting the interior more close to competing with the aviator. Or at least more aggressive engine options because the engine bay looks like there’s room for a lot more unless caddy is already working on that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and input! I appreciate you watching!
I don't watch any other car review channel if i really want new vehicle information. thank you sir !!
Nice video! Enjoyed your review. I would just add one correction about the tow capacity. The 1000 lbs. tow capacity is for the 4 cylinder engine only. The V6 that you are testing here, has a tow capacity of 4000 lbs. At least that's what I have been coming up with in my research. Just a FYI for anybody who may be turned off of this vehicle because of the towing capacity figure. 4000 lbs. is much more in line with other vehicles in this size category.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Great review!
Thank you so much for saying that Gwen!
LOAD THE ROCKETS! 99K>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>🥳🎉🥳
so proud of you man!
Fun! Today showing 536k! Hockey stick growth in a year! I think I was onboard back then too.
Hi Joe 🙂. I've been looking at a 2021 AWD Sport XT6. Since it's been a year since you did this video, what's the chance of talking you into doing a video on the Sport for comparison? Doesn't look like I'll be getting my 2020 Shelby GT500 anytime soon 😩 since I need the room for 5 Chow Chows lol.
Be simple guys and keep watching and supporting this awesome reviewer raiti's rides
no name that’s so awesome of you to say!👍🏻
Great review as always, Joe! Appreciate you, buddy! I’ll take a white Hyundai Palisade Limited. Side profile & tail lights are very similar. Same (if not more) tech. Lower price. Better warranty/fit/finish than this Traverse in a tuxedo imo.
The interior looks like a nice place to be, better than the Escalade featured in the linked video from August.
You're a hardworking man.
Joe, my dude......my 1st ZONK to you. Been with you "on this journey" with nothing but love and support. But. You did Cadillac misjustice on this one. You "zonked" the SAME steering wheel that you give praise to in Mercedes products. Plus it is time for an "exhaust mic". Us supporters deserve real 'roar'. Constructive feedback......🍻
I trust your opinion, please help out, which one to buy? Cadillac xt6 or Hyundai Palisade?
I was hoping they’d do one like this . Longer and more room and more seats. Be cool if the headroom was few inches higher. Nice!
Maybe in the future they’ll be a dash cam integrated in the front and rear cameras that you can record when activated. Good job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Looks like a GM product, no super cruise, what were they thinking at this price point and faux air vents. Great review Joe.
Edward Brinson Mercedes-Benz GLS has faux air vents and cost even more than this.
I totally agree with you!
@@mybro727 They are out of control as well!
There are two cameras on the back. The camera on the spoiler is the rear view mirror camera and the main camera is where the hatch button is.
I've been trying to tell my sister about this car. She has a 2013 SRX. This is a nice ride imo
this is not a nice Cadillac they should have put a twin turbo on there and competed with that Ford with a 400 horsepower and they should have put an amp on the stereo system and I'm agree with him about that opening in the whole issue to put up power charger in there I'll see why Cadillac sales are down and I'll make it over interesting products
Hurrah keeping analogue gauges. I am getting tired of fixing things not broken. How expensive is it to fix these digital displays.
Do the second row seats fold flat, or do they fold with a bit of slope?
Joe, Cadillac is actually in business since 1902 not 1911. I'm old enough to remember their 50th anniversary when the "V" was put on the front and rear of the 1952 model in gold color to commemorate the anniversary.
I love the analog and less digital feel and look
Beautiful Cadillac !
I am so glad that I could share these with you!
Not going to lie, I do like this SUV. I like the design outside a lot more than the inside to be honest.
With that being said, I would take the Lincoln Aviator even if it's a bit more expensive because that car does look very unique and expensive. The Aviator is around 80k very much loaded. I think it's worth it.
I don't know what's the price for a loaded XT6 but like I said, I would pick the Aviator even if it's a bit more expensive.
In the end it's all about personal preference like always.
I drove a 2020 XT six for three days loan to me from the Cadillac dealer on my CTS was being serviced at their shop. I absolutely love this car! The way it drove in the way it looked I loved it! So now I am considering buying one. I’m getting ready to watch this video and we’ll see if it changes my mind or not. Lol
Did you buy it?🤔
I love the Cadillac brand, I've owned 3, but they NEED to step up their interior game with the new CT4,5 and Escalade, Lincoln is kicking ass with their interiors recently.
If only Lincoln could improve its dealer network. That's one advantage Cadillac seems to have
My mom wants to get a 2021 Escalade! I also showed her this and the Palisade because their my three favorite SUV right now
Good choices!
DANG SON. Raiti's Rides is 1k away from 100K!
😒 I wonder if this was the original 2nd gen srx design for 2010 and was just regurgitated for 2020 xt6.
I LOVE this interior color. Also people are talking about price but failing to mention this leases for literally HUNDREDS (multiple) less per month than the competition from BMW Mercedes and Lincoln
It's literally a chevy trailblazer with some touch ups here and there. Not worth the asking price. 62k is GLE X5 money
The trailblazer is a compact suv and it does not have 3 rows
Man, glad I went with the Aviator...:)
Is this not the same 3.6 from the Colorado? And it can only tow 1,500 lbs? Also, $62k new...$35k in two years.
Thought they would use the 335 hp V6 from the camero. Looks like they use the motor from the Buick Regal.
AGREED!
Raiti, I'm gonna have to zonk this whole car.... Look at what Lincoln is offering with Avaitor for the same money. This whole car is one big ZONK 😂😂😂
I would go Lincoln in a heartbeat.
Agree!
Khari Manzini I’m gonna have to “Zonk!” your silly comment. Everybody doesn’t want a complex eco-boosted, dual turbocharged engine especially as their daily driver/family hauler. Some people want simpler, refined, more reliable naturally aspirated engines like Xt6’s 3.6 which comes with a twin-clutch AWD system standard on Sport trims. Lincoln doesn’t offer a naturally aspirated V6 or V8.
@@clintwalker2659 then get a Buick... Cadillac is supposed to be cutting edge....FWD and a ubiquitous 3.6L V6 is stone age tech by modern standards
@@clintwalker2659 and if thats the powertrain choice.... bring the price down.... like WAAAAY down.... They should be undercutting Lincoln by thousands
Joe, another home-run brother! 👊🏾👊🏾. I feel that Cadillac has taken a step backwards. They are no longer the top brand. The Escalade use to be the SUV to have, but they made it too large and super expensive!
I think Gm needs a lot of improving but they have been first with tech like the rearview camera mirror that a lot of manufacturers are copying now
XT6......VS MDX A SPEC. Which is a smoother ride? Which has "more" room for an ahem - fat guy driver. Any opinions? Thanks
Raiti, I'm zonking the XT6 because it's Buick brother the Enclave Avenue is priced better, packaged better and wasn't an after thought. Love what Buick is doing these days!
It’s a nice overall SUV. Just think there’s better options. Ford Explorer or Land Rover but I have always liked how Cadillac’s ride. But then again I grew up with Cadillac’s so have a bit of a soft spot for them.
Informative video. Looks as though Cadillac just threw a car in that mid suv slot with out any real attempt to compete with even medium competition. Reminds me of an article in the 80's of when there was a head to head review of Lexus, Infinity, Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, and Cadillac (to have an American car in the mix). The Cady was last in every trial except size and wood. Not much has changed. Will consider one of the others.
Mmmm I’m a sucker for an Escalade but this is a perfect size and the same quality that the Escalade has. Hmmm
I love this new caddy, but I am confused also like Acura rdx... thanks for your video!!!
Smurf Bronx RDX is the wiser choice. Better power to weight ratio, better looking, high MPG, and much more value for the money.
great video as usual however, this XT6 isn't really worth the asking price. Keep making great content bro....
Thanks Gordon! I totally agree with you!
Dude this thing is nice
I never liked how big and bulky Cadillac’s suv are but this one is great
I'll take a new Vette with some floor mats for the same price.
AGREED!
Yeah the new C8 was on my mind also👍
@amill1563; Your comment makes no sense and I agree with you 💯% C8 makes me DROOOOOOOOL.
@@metaljew4456 LoL
Who would compare a luxury 7 passenger SUV to a 'vette?
I like the size of the screen.
I'm here for the Zonks!!!!
Why only 1,500 lb towing capacity? The 2020 Highlander has about the same engine and it can tow 5000 lbs.
Not so bad of a vehicle. I like the pearl white color on it but I’ll zonk the alloy wheels and put black rims on. $65k for it is a bit ridiculous but hey you can always get it used with a good price
Did you pay close attention to how the trim panels fit together? Micah on Edmunds pointed out quite a number of gaps and ill fitting panels.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
The badge on the side looks better without color. I wouldn’t zonk that. It goes well with the white color.
Please review more Cadillacs
I hate it when they don't include the price other than that, good informative video and grear detailed.
The price was included. Thanks for watching and your kind words.
Folks, do yourself a favor. Shop around for three row luxury SUVs. Include a look/see/drive of the Volvo XC-90 Inscription. I sure did. Bought the Swede.
I really appreciate your input and perspective! Thank you so much for watching!
You mean you bought the Chinese. Unless you purchased a Volvo tracker trailer, you bought a chinese SUV.
@@stephenmaner8350
Yes, Geely is Chinese - - -
FYI: This from "Forbes" / David Kiley / October 16th, 2018... "Doubters of the deal expected Geely to rob Volvo of what made the brand unique. Instead, the company has bolstered Swedish management and mpowered them to stick to what they do best-Scandinavian design and peerless safety engineering.
"
"The biggest commitment to growth for Volvo by Geely is the opening of a new manufacturing assembly plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina near Charlotte. Volvo is building the S60 sedan right now in the new plant, and will add the XC90 in 2021."
-
Geely is leaving Volvo alone ... The XC-90 is one beautiful, well built machine...
"Bought the Swede," Volvo is actually some Chinese crap that can't manage to make a reliable infotainment system.
You should consider it, then you should go buy a Lincoln Aviator.
Its not a bad car, I just prefer the Aviator.
great review but i cut the video on the price point
It’s a nice car I saw it inside the Temecula mall. But it honestly looks like a 45k car. But the interior and exterior are gorgeous.
That is very true!
Some cars may be "better" than other's, in the way that some clothes may be "better" than others, but at the end of the day, if one car looks better than the other, I'll take it. They all do what they're supposed to well, so it just comes down to the look that fits you best.
Wish it has the Lincoln aviator interior
GM’s Super Cruise is state of the art and is the best system of any car...including Tesla and the Germans. It’s only going to be available on the 2020 CT6 & CT5. Non the XT6 for 2020 because they’re still working on major upgrades. But when the new 2021 Escalade premiers it’s definitely going to have it and I hope they Include it on the complete Cadillac line up.
It's the Shaggin Wagon! Chicks love it!
I wish Cadillac would’ve updated this infotainment system and also released a V trim with a 3.0 TT or a 3.6 TT it’s so much potential that GM leaves out
Uh, there are two rear cameras; the one up top is displayed on the rear-view mirror. The standard back-up camera is exactly where you'd expect to see it, which is just above the license plate.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Great video as usual. The big downside maybe is the engine, this car deserves more.
Yeah it's just the Chevy parts bin they went into same old motor as the Chevy Colorado.
I totally agree Cadillac should've remade thier famous Northstar V8 for this the motor looks so out of place in there 3.6 is a decent motor but this is Cadillac not Chevrolet
No led fog lights & also they coulda had added a twin turbocharged V6 on the XT6
The founders of GM were like let’s make affordable reliable products. Gm 2019 let’s make expensive unreliable products
I feel your pain!
Anthony Molina that doesn’t even make sense. How would you know if this XT6 is unreliable when it’s brand new and the first Cadillac XT6 ever made?
mybro727 gm quality has gone downhill they don’t put as good quality control anymore.
@@anthonymolina7416 I totally agree with you here
Anthony Molina blah blah blah i don’t see the poor quality in this XT6. It doesn’t have flimsy plastic like what’s found in the Lincoln Navigator. You have GM confused with the General Motors of yesteryear.
I love it
I like this, but just at a little less money. I am trading my RR in on a Telluride, or an Aviator. I would get this if it were a little less
Nice call!
I wish they would have built it on the Traverse platform instead of the Acadia, it would just a bit bigger on the inside and it would have made a huge difference
I see a lot of depreciation coming
😂 exactly
How come ?
@@carlauditts8514 general statement for American Cars but most of cars of any make will get hit with mad depreciation within the first 2 years anyway
Agreed
It lost 5k in value while I watched the video.
What lunatic is paying $60K for this thing?
AGREED!
Same set of nuts that'll pay $60K or more for anything on four wheels that depreciates.
A wealthier person who feels cheap driving the $57,000 Chevy version...
i would
Zackly
Thank you for the spec comparisons, I think its a gorgeous car but i wouldnt pay more than 40k for it...
