One of the best things about the automotive industry today is that there seems to be a vehicle for everybody. From fast cars to safe cars and from tiny two-seaters to three-row goliaths, there truly is a vehicle out there for every need, preference, and budget. Consider the SUV market, an area of the industry that contains some of the most diverse options out there. You can find everything from subcompact to full-size models, and when scouting out used SUVs for sale, you will run across them all. more Three-row SUVs are some of the most adaptable options, offering incredible spaciousness, cargo room, and, oftentimes, luxury. When it comes to finding the perfect used SUV with three rows of seats, your options are vast and varied. Whether you’re seeking comfort, reliability, or off-road capability, there’s an SUV out there that will meet your needs, and it will do it with the ability to fit everyone in the whole crew. There are plenty of makes and models out there, but here are five to consider. #1 - The Ford Explorer The Ford Explorer hit the scenes in 1991. Since its debut, it has been a significant player in the SUV market, evolving through multiple generations, and when we say evolving, we mean it. The Explorer has not always been what we know it as today, but its size has stayed fairly consistent. Known for its versatility and capability, the Explorer has maintained its position as a favorite among families, adventurers, and daily commuters. Over the years, the Explorer has evolved from its boxy beginnings to a more streamlined and aerodynamic vehicle. Its bold front grille, sculpted lines, and athletic stance contribute to its commanding presence on the road. Available in an assortment of trim levels, a used Explorer can be found to suit an array of lifestyles and preferences. The Explorer comfortably seats up to seven passengers across three rows. Generous headroom and legroom ensure that even adult passengers can ride comfortably in all seating positions. #2 - The Cadillac Escalade Well-known for being a symbol of luxury, the Cadillac Escalade represents prestige and the epitome of American craftsmanship within the full-size SUV segment. Introduced in 1999, the Cadillac has been turning heads ever since, thanks not only to its elegance and grace but its sheer size. Blending opulence with capability while offering a spacious and refined driving experience, the Cadillac Escalade had to make it onto the list of used three-row SUVs to consider. As a full-size SUV, the Escalade offers some pretty generous dimensions, providing ample interior space for passengers and cargo alike. Whether you oversee carpooling to and from the office or are often loading up equipment for your child’s after-school activities, the Escalade can handle it all and does it with style. Available in multiple trim levels, the Escalade has many sides to it. While it is often associated with a hefty price tag, the benefits of buying used help balance that out while still providing you with all the expected luxury. #3 - The Chevy Traverse The Chevrolet Traverse has carved out a niche in the three-row SUV segment since its debut, evolving over the years to become one of the most beloved SUVs on the market. The Chevrolet Traverse made its debut in 2009 as a replacement for the Trailblazer and Uplander, offering a spacious three-row SUV option in Chevrolet’s lineup. Although it hasn’t been around as long as some of the others on this list, Chevy has managed to put all of its knowledge and experience into this three-row wonder. The Traverse is a versatile and family-friendly vehicle that combines space, comfort, and modern amenities to keep everyone happy during your day-to-day errands. Designed to accommodate up to eight passengers across three rows, the Traverse prioritizes passenger comfort and cargo flexibility, which is a bonus for drivers with large families. Some trim levels and model years offer captain’s chairs in the second row to amp up comfort and provide easy access to the third row. Although this upgrade takes the seating capacity down by one, a capacity of seven is still impressive. With all seats in place, the Traverse provides ample cargo space for groceries, luggage, and other essentials. Folding down the rear seats expands cargo capacity, accommodating larger items or gear for outdoor adventures. With such adaptability, you can choose if you want a family hauler or a cargo carrier and change it up just as easily. #4 - The Mazda CX-9 The Mazda CX-9 was the brand’s flagship SUV, combining stylish elements, performance features, and practical extras to make it a great all-around SUV. From the beginning, the CX-9 has managed to tread the line between luxury and affordability, making it an option for those looking to stay within a budget and enjoy a luxury ride. The CX-9 was released for the 2007 model year as Mazda’s largest SUV, with the intention of catering to families and those who want a spacious and versatile vehicle. Exemplifying Mazda’s core values, the CX-9 perfectly blends driving pleasure with practicality and sophistication. With its stylish design, refined interior, and engaging driving dynamics, the CX-9 appeals to drivers who prioritize comfort, performance, and modern amenities in a three-row SUV. The CX-9 comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers across three rows and offers available captain’s chairs in the second row, providing flexibility. Similar to the other models, the second and third rows can be tucked away to open up the cabin for cargo space so even large and awkward items can be transported. Taking into consideration that not all items are large and require plenty of open space, the Mazda is designed to keep things tidy and organized during day-to-day activities. Numerous storage compartments strategically placed throughout the cabin, including under-floor storage in the rear cargo area, show how much thought has gone into this family-friendly SUV. #5 - The Chevy Suburban The Chevy Suburban is a well-known classic of the industry and has long been synonymous with expansive size, versatility, and capability, making it a perennial favorite in the full-size SUV category. If you want to be able to comfortably transport passengers and cargo over long distances, then the Suburban is the SUV for you. The Suburban offers seating for up to nine passengers across three spacious rows, making it one of the most accommodating options on this list. Each row is designed with comfort in mind, providing ample room for all nine riders. The Suburban is not only one of the largest SUVs here, but it is also one of the oldest, having hit the roads all the way back in the 1930s. With that age comes experience, and that experience equals greatness. The Suburban is a powerhouse in so many fields, not only providing spacious seating, ample cargo room, and loads of comfort but also performance, power, and pure style. With its impeccable interior, advanced technology features, and robust performance capabilities, the Suburban remains a top choice for families and individuals seeking a vehicle that can comfortably accommodate large groups while offering the latest tech and extras. As Chevy continues to innovate and refine its flagship SUV, the Suburban continues to uphold its reputation as a reliable and capable vehicle for any adventure or daily job. The Used SUV Market Is Good Used three-row SUVs offer a compelling blend of space, versatility, and practicality, making them a popular choice among families, adventurers, and anyone needing extra seating and cargo capacity. With seating typically available for seven to eight passengers––or nine when we look at the Suburban––everyone can ride comfortably with plenty of legroom, shoulder room, and “I’m not touching them” space. Often equipped with luxury features and advanced amenities, such as leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, multi-zone climate control, and premium sound systems, used SUVs have it all. From the luxury of the Escalade to the historically large-and-in-charge Suburban, used three-row SUVs are an attractive option for a wide range of drivers. It doesn’t matter if you prioritize passenger space, towing capability, or advanced features; these vehicles offer a compelling mix of it all. It is time to explore the selection of pre-owned three-row models here at our dealership and drive away in the SUV that is just right for you!

As electric vehicles get more and more popular, there are more and more types of EVs on the market. These days, you don’t have to deal with a cramped interior in order to leave pain at the pump in the rearview mirror. We’re proud to offer the Cadillac LYRIQ for sale so our customers can drive home in a zero-emission luxury midsize SUV that’s loaded with useful features and style inside and out. more But, as with any EV, many drivers will still prioritize charging and range over everything else. We completely understand that EV infrastructure is still in the process of being built across the country, and drivers who are thinking of transitioning to electric power want a smooth transition as possible. The importance of this issue is probably the only thing that can explain why some shoppers have a hard time choosing between the Cadillac LYRIQ and Tesla’s Model X or Model Y. When it comes to luxury, or even just a well-built interior with quality materials and enough physical controls to allow drivers to change vehicle settings without getting dangerously distracted, the LYRIQ is the hands-down winner. However, many choose Tesla because they think that the tech upstart has the best driver experience when it comes to charging. Is that really true, though? Today, we’re going to zero in on this aspect of EV ownership and see which all-electric SUV comes out on top. Range Range is one of the top priorities of EV buyers, and for good reason. Charging an EV is getting faster over time, but it’s still something that takes more time than filling a tank up with gas. Drivers naturally want to be able to go a long way on a single charge so they don’t have to interrupt their days with lengthy charging stops. Luckily, the 2024 LYRIQ has an impressive EPA-estimated range of 314 miles, which is plenty for most everyday driving and even a solid amount for road trippers, who can time the charging stops they do need to coincide with meal breaks and look for hotels that have charging stations on hand for getting back to 100% overnight. The 2024 Tesla Model Y only delivers 279 miles of range with the Performance trim, and even the Long Range version still falls short of the LYRIQ, at 310 miles. The Model X does better, but not by much, offering up to 335 miles of total range. Charging Network You may have heard that the Tesla Supercharger network is more reliable than the network of other public EV charging stations. Since these Superchargers were only available to Tesla drivers for years, it might have seemed like a reason to opt for a Tesla over another EV, even one that’s superior in other ways. But we’re happy to report that the exclusivity of Superchargers is old news. Recently, several automakers, including Cadillac, have announced that they’ve struck a deal with Tesla, allowing their EVs to be charged at Tesla stations. You can use an available adapter to charge the LYRIQ at any Tesla Supercharger, and at stations equipped with a Magic Dock, you don’t need an adapter at all. Beyond Tesla’s network, there are plenty of other ways to charge your LYRIQ. A standard 120V wall outlet will be slow (around 3.5 miles of range per hour), but these outlets are everywhere and can be used in a pinch. If you want a home charging station, it’s a better idea to invest in a more powerful 240V outlet or hardwired charging station, which can be used for Level 2 charging. This lets you add as much as 51 miles of range per hour, making it a practical way to charge up overnight. Plus, Tesla isn’t the only company to offer public DC fast charging; there are plenty of stations from brands like Electrify America and EVgo that will let you add up to 77 miles of range in ten minutes so you can get back on the road in no time Finding charging stations is easy, whether you’re already in the vehicle or planning your route ahead of time. You can use the myCadillac app to search for compatible stations from your phone, whether you’re planning a road trip or trying to find a station close to your office. If you’re already on the move, you can use the in-vehicle Google apps to find nearby stations, using either the touchscreen or voice recognition. Trustworthiness Getting the estimated figures for an EV’s range is easy, but deciding whether you can trust them is a little more complicated. Electric vehicle technology is still fairly new, and range can be affected by how much weight the vehicle is carrying, how fast it’s going, or what the temperature is outside, so there are bound to be some bumps in the road. A study conducted by SAE International, a renowned engineering organization, found that the average EV falls short of its advertised range by 12.5% on the highway. While not all of the brands used in the study were disclosed, a co-author of the study later revealed via Reuters that the Tesla models they tested performed the worst, falling about 26% short of their promised estimates, making them about twice as untrustworthy as the average vehicle. Reuters has also reported that Tesla has programmed the dashboards in its vehicles to display “rosy” estimates of the remaining range, designed to align with the promised estimates rather than the actual remaining range. Some drivers who noticed this and booked service appointments to address what they assumed to be an underlying issue have had their appointments canceled pre-emptively, reportedly by a so-called “Diversion Team” put together for the explicit purpose of canceling range-related service appointments. With business practices like these, it can be difficult to trust Tesla in general. Cadillac, by contrast, is a trusted American brand that has been producing quality vehicles for decades and decades. Cold-Weather Reliability Minnesota drivers need to be able to rely on their vehicles, even when the weather gets well below freezing. So it might be a deal-breaker for a prospective Tesla buyer to learn about a story that multiple news outlets, including CBS and ABC, reported on in January of 2024. Several Tesla drivers in Chicago got stuck in line at a charging station because not only was the sub-zero temperature making drivers lose range quickly, but it also slowed down charging times. Research by Consumer Reports backs up this anecdote: testing released in 2024 showed that the Tesla Model Y had a real range of just 186 miles in cold weather (even the 274 miles it managed in warm weather fell short of its promised 326-mile range). While the LYRIQ, like all EVs, performs better in mild and warm weather, it does have tech on board to keep the cold at bay. Cadillac’s Ultium platform, which powers the LYRIQ, uses an innovative feature called a heat pump to warm the cabin without sapping the battery’s range. The LYRIQ Charges Ahead Working under a “move fast and break things” mentality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially when you’re making vehicles. If you want an electric vehicle that delivers on its promises, can be charged up just about anywhere, and is dependable year-round, then you can’t go wrong with the Cadillac LYRIQ. On top of all that, you’ll also get a luxurious interior that feels as good as it looks, up to 500 hp, and plenty of space for passengers and cargo. With a well-rounded array of features, the LYRIQ is more than just another stylish front end—it’s the SUV of the future.

Cadillac has been making some of the most gorgeous, luxurious, and innovative vehicles on the road for over a century. With the electric market starting to rear its head in recent years, it was no surprise when Cadillac revealed the stunning all-electric LYRIQ and unleashed a banquet of incredible features for us to sink our teeth into. Whether you're already looking for a Cadillac LYRIQ for sale or just curious about this fantastic new electric vehicle (EV) and wondering what makes it so unique, you've come to the right place. Today, we thought it would be fun to celebrate the LYRIQ and some of our favorite things about it. While only a tiny portion of what we love about this vehicle, we need to be brief; otherwise, we'd be here all day extolling its virtues. Let's dig in! more Thing #1 – The Choreographed Exterior Lighting Okay, so admittedly, this isn't something that will dramatically transform your driving experience each day, but we can't help ourselves with this one. Sometimes, you just want to see a car company show that they love their vehicles as much as you do, which is precisely what we have here. Every model has exterior lighting that automatically comes on when the key fob is within six feet of the vehicle, and you can also activate it manually or turn it off entirely if you prefer. The Tech trim goes beyond simple automatic lighting and includes animated, choreographed lighting that greets you every time you approach your ride. This starts at the front with the Cadillac emblem, then radiates outward across the front grille, going to the headlamps that come on with animated illumination to create an eye-catching display. The lighting then moves to the side door handles, illuminating them so it's easy to get into your vehicle before ending at the rear tail lamps with animation similar to the front lighting. As we said, this is not at all essential regarding features, but it's the perfect example of how Cadillac has gone above and beyond the ordinary with the LYRIQ to create something truly dazzling. Thing #2 – The Super Cruise Hands-Free Driving System Animated exterior lighting might not transform how you drive, but Cadillac's remarkable Super Cruise system certainly can. While other brands have talked a lot about self-driving technology, Cadillac has pushed forward closer than others with the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. This is true, hands-free driving that lets you release the steering wheel and safely drive on vast swaths of roads across North America. While you still have to stay focused on the road, your Cadillac LYRIQ can take care of everything else, from accelerating and braking to staying safely with the flow of traffic to handling curves and even changing lanes when necessary. In fact, Cadillac has been improving the Super Cruise system to be better than it was when it was first released, such as adding the ability to indicate you want your vehicle to change lanes, and having it do so for you when it's safe. Drivers have enjoyed more than 34 million miles of hands-free driving using Super Cruise, demonstrating that it's safe, effective, and reliable. Currently, Super Cruise is compatible with more than 400,000 miles of roads across the US and Canada, with plans to increase that to more than 700,000 miles throughout 2025. Whether considering your daily commute or planning a road trip on your next vacation, Super Cruise can make your time behind the wheel relaxing and satisfying. Thing #3 – Incredible Range, Remarkable Power One of the things people worry about with EVs like this is how well they drive and how far they can go on a full battery. The Cadillac LYRIQ immediately puts both concerns to rest with one of the auto industry's most impressive electric propulsion systems. You can choose from a single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) model that provides 340 hp and 325 lb-ft of near-instant torque or a dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration that delivers a remarkable 500 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. This is driving taken to the next level, with a sophisticated suspension, electronic precision shifting, and much more for you to enjoy. There's no reason to worry about range with the LYRIQ no matter which model you choose, though there's a slight difference between them. A single-motor RWD model can go an estimated 314 miles from a full charge, while choosing an AWD version lowers that to just 307 miles in exchange for all that power. You can get through your daily commute, run errands, and even head out on a long road trip in the LYRIQ without worrying about your range. Regenerative braking helps maximize this range, while one-pedal driving is perfect for heavy traffic and similar conditions that can be stressful in other vehicles. Thing #4 – Stunning Interior Details and Finish Although we're not writers or poets here at Snell Cadillac, we still think we describe the vehicles we sell well. That said, words fail us when we try to describe just how stunning and beautifully arranged the interior of the LYRIQ truly is. Pictures and videos come the closest to capturing it, but even they fall short of what you feel when you sit inside the LYRIQ and experience everything it offers. From the luxurious and comfortable seating of the gorgeous interior to the rich materials used throughout that surround you with opulent style and bold design, the LYRIQ's most impressive details are amplified with technology. You have the incredible 33-inch advanced LED screen across the front of the LYRIQ's dashboard, capable of 9K resolution and beautiful picture quality, so it's always easy to read. Then there's the customizable ambient lighting with a 26-color LED spectrum that lets you create a warm and energetic environment, a soft and cool cabin, or anything else you prefer. And once you hear the 19-speaker AKG Studio sound system available in the LYRIQ, you'll realize you've been missing out on an evocative and revolutionary audio experience. Thing #5 – A Work of Art on the Road While Cadillac has overlooked nothing regarding the interior of the LYRIQ, the outside is just as stunning and sophisticated. The dramatically illuminated Black Crystal Shield that replaces a traditional grille that you find on other vehicles makes an immediate visual impact and demands the attention of everyone around you. LED projector slimline headlamps are part of its signature lighting design, and we've already talked about the available animated startup sequence. Still, even when they're just on, they look amazing. Similarly, the available LED vertical tail lamps come to life in a way that's both easily visible for other drivers and dramatic, evoking a sense of style few other vehicles come close to. Plus, Sport models feature Obsidian chrome and dark accent finishes on the body and wheels, setting them apart and demonstrating how even the most beautiful vehicle on the road can be elevated higher. Ready to Discover Even More? This was a small sample of the stunning features that continue to make our jaws drop every time we see the Cadillac LYRIQ or take one for a test drive with a customer because there's nothing else quite like it on the road. It's a vehicle the team at our Cadillac dealership in Mankato is excited about, a vehicle that proves there's still room for the new and unimaginable in this industry that we love so much. No matter what you're looking for in your next vehicle, you owe it to yourself to check out the LYRIQ and experience the fantastic combination of exquisite performance, elegant style, and pure joy it brings to driving.

It’s no secret that you have options when it comes to three-row midsize SUVs, but when you demand more out of your ride in every possible way, there’s one model that truly delivers an inspiring ride. The Cadillac XT6 isn’t just beautiful and alluring; it’s also convenient, practical, and ready for anything that awaits you on the road. If you’re searching for a Cadillac XT6 for sale, look no further than Snell Cadillac, and if you’re wondering how this refined traveler compares to some of its biggest rivals, we’re here to show you. One of the more competitive models in the three-row midsize SUV segment is the Kia Sorento, but when it comes to the 2024 XT6 vs the 2024 Sorento, you’ll find that one of these popular options delivers more to its legions of fans. more A More Stylish Experience Anyone who’s ever seen the inside of a Cadillac knows that it’s as if you’re in a world all your own. Timeless luxury is a given inside these classic vehicles, and the 2024 XT6 is no exception, offering premium seating elements, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, available exotic wood accents, and a lavish aura surrounding you. The UltraView sunroof extends above you, offering unobstructed views of the skies, and with available second-row captain’s chairs and more cozy elements, enjoying the ride is expected in this lavish traveler. Outside, the XT6 really makes a statement with dazzling lighting elements, available 20-inch 12-spoke diamond cut alloy wheels, and chiseled bodywork to captivate onlookers like never before. When you want to ride in style, the XT6 delivers the experience you demand. The Sorento is a bit more on the rugged side, accented by a bold front end and commanding grille, as well as squared-off bodywork that shows off its fearless personality. The new X-Pro trim is perhaps the boldest of them all, boasting all-terrain tires, matte black-finish wheels, high ground clearance, and exclusive badging throughout. Inside, the Sorento is nicely styled, especially when you opt for its top-tier trims, allowing you to enjoy a panoramic sunroof, open-pore wood accents, and premium appointments. However, if you’re looking for high-level luxury, the XT6 is better suited to provide this to you than the rugged Sorento. A More Exciting Ride Several powertrains are available for both the XT6 and the Sorento, but if you want top-level power, you’ll want to choose Cadillac's 3.6L V6. This spirited engine provides you with 310 hp to drive you forward with tenacity. With selectable drive modes at your service, you’re able to tailor your ride to suit the conditions, allowing you to take on the elements and optimize the quality of your ride easily. Available Brembo Performance brakes provide you with accurate and responsive braking, while real-time damping suspension allows you to enjoy a phenomenal ride, no matter how uneven the road happens to be, adjusting every two milliseconds to offer the most comfortable ride ever. The XT6 Sport heightens the excitement of the ride with a Twin Clutch Sport Control AWD system, which accurately distributes torque where needed to enhance the experience, no matter where you’re traveling. Although the 2024 Sorento offers quite a few powertrains in its lineup, these options fail to offer the acceleration and quality that you’ll find with the XT6. Kia's 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder offers the most power available for the Sorento, with 281 horses pushing it forward, but that’s still much less than you’re able to enjoy in the XT6. Overall, ride quality is pleasant, and if you want to be able to trek through the elements, the X-Pro can handle this with torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, Hill Start Assist for steep environments, and enhanced power to tackle unruly terrain. The XT6, however, offers the comfort features drivers require, whether on the highway or beyond, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious ride no matter where the journey takes you. More Innovative Tech Vehicles are highly intuitive these days, and when you want to enjoy some of the most advanced connectivity, safety, and assistance features, the XT6 won’t disappoint. Perhaps most appreciated is the fact that the XT6 can be armed with Super Cruise hands-free driving capabilities, which will allow the XT6 to take charge of your journey on roughly 750,000 miles of compatible roadways across North America. This makes it easy to tackle any type of trip you have planned. You can even see better when traveling through dimly lit areas, thanks to available thermal imaging to alert you to pedestrians or animals crossing your path. Among the intuitive tech features in the XT6, you’ll also find an available full-color head-up display, an HD Rear Vision Camera, parking assistance, and more helpful features to make any drive spectacular. The 2024 Sorento does showcase a nice lineup of tech features; however, there’s no Super Cruise-type innovation, which can be a disappointment for drivers. You’ll get to take advantage of a large touchscreen, multiple camera angles, smartphone integration, and wireless charging. The fact that sophisticated hands-free driving capabilities aren’t offered in the Sorento is a deciding factor for many who prioritize innovation on the road ahead. More Comfort and Space When it comes to optimal comfort, you’ll find it inside the 2024 XT6, which has three rows of cozy seating for up to seven occupants. Heated and ventilated seats create the comfortable ambiance you require, regardless of the weather outside, and with a driver’s seat memory system, you’re always greeted by the perfect ride every time you step inside your vehicle. An air ionizer is present to help purify the air, filtering out pollen, dust, and debris. You’ll also find that with plenty of room in all three rows, as well as up to 78.7 cu.ft. of cargo space, accommodating all of your passengers and gear is effortless for this luxury-level traveler. You’ll find a nice amount of space inside the Sorento, which can also seat seven in its three rows. Its cargo hold is a bit smaller, though, and it only offers up to 75.5 cu.ft. for all of your gear, which can prove to be a problem for some travelers. You will find comfortable appointments throughout, like genuine leather seat trim, a heated steering wheel, acoustic laminated glass, and more available features. However, if you want to sit back and revel in a truly luxurious ride, there’s no brand that can offer this to you better than Cadillac. An All-Around Better Ride From superb styling and exceptional performance to top-level tech and heightened comfort and convenience, the 2024 Cadillac XT6 has everything going for it. Unfortunately, the 2024 Kia Sorento isn’t as refined, especially when it comes to design and ride quality, and when it comes to power, it’s lacking. It does showcase a bold presence with plenty of tech and convenience features; however, it doesn’t have advanced hands-free driving capabilities, nor does it offer the space for gear that you’ll find in the XT6. The XT6 is a classic Cadillac, marked by utter luxury, sophisticated performance, and an aura that radiates confidence. Every ride you take will be unforgettable, and with the reliability of the prestigious Cadillac name backing up your experience, there’s no journey that won’t be revitalized when the XT6 is a part of it. When you want to harness exceptional features and capabilities, as well as a design that’s upscale and opulent, the XT6 will deliver everything you need to satisfy your demands behind the wheel.

Even as the automotive industry evolves at a rapid pace, Cadillac continues to set the bar high with its luxurious SUV lineup that includes the XT5 and XT6 models. Both Cadillacs manage to stand out in the midsize SUV market, each offering its own sophisticated blend of performance paired with Cadillac’s iconic style. more Drivers beginning to navigate this ever-changing landscape can check out both models here at your Cadillac dealer near Minneapolis. Yet, even in person, it can feel like a daunting task trying to decide between the two sleek SUVs. We aim to unravel the similarities and differences between these two driver favorites so you can feel empowered when you finally decide to sign on the dotted line and get behind the wheel. What’s Your Budget? For many drivers, the price tag is often one of the first things they consider when they’re shopping for a new ride. So, how do the XT5 and XT6 compare? The 2024 XT5 is a high-end midsize SUV that seats five and has a starting price of $43,895. It is offered in three different trim levels––Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport––with the high-end Sport topping out at $56,795. The 2024 XT6 is a larger three-row SUV that is capable of seating up to seven passengers. It is also offered in the same three trims: Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport. The Luxury trim begins at $48,795, and the model runs upwards of $60,295 for the Sport trim. Prices can climb higher for additional features and add-ons. Powering Up Your Drive Aside from price, the average customer tends to think about the performance potential of their vehicle. Can it handle a road trip? Can it handle the slippery roads and winter weather of the upper Midwest? What about stop-and-go traffic on I-494 during rush hour? For 2024, the midsize XT5 has two engine options for drivers. A 235 hp 2.0L turbocharged engine with 258 lb-ft of torque is standard on the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims. Most will find this is plenty of power for your average daily drive to grab groceries at Whole Foods or tackle the traffic between St. Paul and Minneapolis. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but upgrading to all-wheel drive might be worth it for increased traction and control during those slippery Minnesota winters. Drivers looking for a sportier SUV can upgrade their XT5 with an available 3.6L V6 engine when they opt for the Premium Luxury trim or get the 310 hp engine standard when leveling up to the Sport trim. Whichever engine you choose, it comes paired with Cadillac’s Active Fuel Management to increase efficiency without cutting down on performance. The 2024 XT6 also has the luxury of two great engine choices, including a standard 237 hp 2.0L turbocharged engine or an upgraded 3.6L V6 engine with 310 hp. On the XT6, as with the XT5, drivers can pick between standard front-wheel drive or upgrade with all-wheel drive. Both models feature a Drive Mode Selector that lets you quickly adjust your SUV’s performance to match the conditions of the road. Both the XT5 and XT6 offer front-wheel drive models with Snow/Ice, Touring, and Sport modes. If you opt for all-wheel drive, you can enjoy Touring, AWD, Off-Road, and Sport modes. One driving feature present on the Sport trims of both SUVs is a Twin Clutch Sport Control AWD system, which adds a computer-controlled clutch pack to the rear differential. This can shift torque laterally between the rear wheels, improving grip and offering quick, responsible handling when road conditions change on a dime. A Cabin Tailored Around Your Comfort The thoughtful design of the XT5 and XT6 models makes them not only fun to drive but durable and oh-so comfortable. If you’re looking for a luxurious model that can withstand the ins and outs of a busy day, Cadillac is here to help. The 2024 XT5 is a natural beauty and is all about refined elegance. The cabin features natural materials, including real wood, carefully crafted leather seating, and carbon fiber trim. Add to the soft feel of the rich materials features like standard heated seating and an eight-way power driver seat, and the XT5 will start to feel more like a relaxing spa than a vehicle. Available upgrades include a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats. The latest XT6 was also designed with an eye for detail thanks to the use of open-pore wood, leather, and carbon fiber trim. It also has the same standard heated seating and eight-way power driver seat with identical add-ons in the way of the heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats. The big difference is when it comes to seating and cargo space. The XT5 is a smaller two-row midsize SUV but is still noted as having a large cargo hold when compared to other SUVs in its class. Fold the split 60/40 second-row flat to enjoy up to 63 cu.ft. of cargo space. The XT6 features three rows of seating with the option for second-row captain chairs for an increasingly cushy interior. The split seating allows drivers to fold the two back rows flat to make use of 78.7 cu.ft. of cargo room. Both models feature a power liftgate to access the rear cargo hold with the option to upgrade with an available hands-free power liftgate. Drivers who go for the three-row XT6 will enjoy a standard UltraView panoramic sunroof, while the XT5 gives you the option to upgrade. If you have asthma or allergies, you’ll want to pay special attention to this next part. Both the XT5 and XT6 feature an air ionizer that can help reduce pollen and dust inside the cabin. However, the XT5 comes with standard dual-zone climate control with the option to upgrade to available tri-zone climate control. The XT6, on the other hand, offers tri-zone climate control as a standard feature. Tech For Modern Drivers Most SUVs are loaded with the latest cutting-edge technology these days, but if you look closely, you might notice some features are standard and others you have to pay extra for. So, how do the XT5 and XT6 compare? Both models feature a standard eight-inch infotainment screen paired with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Their user-friendly systems can be customized to your tastes, so it's easy to access apps and playlists or send and receive messages. The menus are straightforward and easy to navigate. For Amazon lovers, Amazon Alexa helps you go hands-free while connecting with compatible smart home devices, adding items to your Amazon list, or checking on an order. Your Cadillac Your Way As you probably guessed, both the midsize XT5 and three-row XT6 have their differences but are still very similar. The biggest difference is the size. The XT5 is smaller yet offers plenty of luxury with two rows of supportive seating for up to five passengers. Natural materials and a minimalist color pallet give the interior a high-end, tranquil vibe. The XT6 takes things up a notch with three rows of seating for up to seven passengers and the option for second-row captain's chairs. The XT6 features the same styling cues as the smaller XT5, with rich materials and a soothing color palette that oozes a feeling of quiet luxury. Both SUVs have the same two engine options and the same three trim options. Overall, the XT6 offers more deluxe standard features like a panoramic sunroof and tri-zone climate control, whereas drivers have to upgrade to get these features in the XT5. What’s your perfect ride? Small and minimalist with thoughtful touches of luxury or a midsize masterpiece complete with an airy cabin, expansive cargo, and first-class comfort across all three rows? There really is no wrong choice here; in fact, we’re betting the toughest part will be that you can only choose one or the other. Why not take each for a test drive and get ready to experience Cadillac at its finest? MSRP may change without notice. See dealer for complete details.

Cadillac’s CT5, the stylish and spacious luxury midsize sedan, is back for another year in the lineup. It lives up to its reputation for being both sporty and luxurious, with an available supercharged V8 engine kicking out massive horsepower and tons of comfort and convenience features that make it a joy to ride in. It’s no wonder we’re getting a lot of interest in this beautiful model. more Many drivers looking for a Cadillac for sale near Belle Plaine have visited us to see what’s new and different about the 2025 model. With its impressive fuel economy, all-wheel drive capabilities, and unique trims, the CT5 attracts both drivers who stay local to Belle Plaine and those who regularly commute to Minneapolis. For the 2025 model year, Cadillac focused on the technology features of the CT5, creating a cabin with intuitive, user-friendly systems that streamline your drive and your life. Let’s take a look. #1 - A Sprawling 9K Resolution Touchscreen You’ve likely heard of 2K and 4K—or even seen the figures on your smartphone camera. The larger the number, the more pixels appear on the screen and the better the picture quality is. Well, the 2025 CT5 benefits from a 9K resolution touchscreen, which is better than you will find in even high-end TVs. Today, drivers rely on their touchscreens for all sorts of things. You have to look at turn-by-turn directions and pop-up warnings about things like upcoming road closures or traffic jams. You see the names of incoming callers and information about the podcast episode you’re listening to. But when the picture quality isn’t good on your touchscreen, you have to strain your eyes, which can lead to eye fatigue. What’s worse is that you may need to check the screen several times to confirm you got the correct information, and repeatedly taking your eyes off the road is never safe. With 9K resolution, you should be able to very clearly see the information you’re looking for on the first try. This 9K magic is spread out across a 33-inch diagonal display. This single screen can replace the pair of smaller screens found in the 2024 CT5 because there is just so much surface area displaying information. You'll love the huge touchscreen if you’ve always wanted to drive in a vehicle that feels like a spaceship control center. Because the screen is so big, there’s no need to swipe back and forth to see all your data. The screen is large enough to display the date, time, weather, playlist, journey stats, turn-by-turn directions, and more, all at the same time. So when a weather alert about an incoming snowstorm in Scott County pops up on the screen, it won’t interrupt your navigation (though it might interrupt your plans). #2 - Google Built-In If you’re one of the millions of people who rely on Google products for just about everything, then you’ll love that the 2025 CT5 has Google built-in. That means you can use Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Assistant right there in your vehicle. When you want to check what time the Belle Plaine Ice Skating Rink is closing to see if you can squeeze in some fun after work, you can just ask Google Assistant to look that up for you. If you need to set an alarm about that PTA meeting tomorrow at Oak Crest Elementary School, Google Assistant can help with that, too. Want to check the traffic before starting your commute? Check Google Maps. Need to listen to that perfect playlist to get you ready for the day? Google Play can help with that. With so many drivers already accustomed to the features and perks of Google products, having them built into your vehicle just makes sense. Plus, thanks to voice-controlled functions, you can use all of Google’s features without taking your hands off the wheel. On the streets of Belle Plaine, where a patch of ice can take you for an unexpected turn, that’s important. #3 - On-Star Even though Belle Plaine is small, Route 169 is long, and if you find yourself having car troubles on it in the dead of Minnesota winter, you’ll appreciate that the 2025 CT5 has available OnStar. OnStar gets you access to emergency services and roadside assistance. With in-vehicle sensors, OnStar can detect an accident and locate your vehicle. It will then send emergency personnel to you, even if you’re unable to call them yourself. The coolest thing about the CT5’s OnStar capabilities might be Remote Access. This is included for three years in your new CT5, so if you’re just enjoying the vehicle for a three-year lease, you’ll have this feature for the duration of your time in the car. It gives you remote command over your vehicle. You can do things like start the ignition remotely, which means you can turn on the heat on snow days before getting in the car. You can check your fuel level and tire pressure from your phone to know if it’s time for a service stop. You can even remotely locate your vehicle, lock and unlock it, and sound the alarm. While it’s unlikely you’ll forget where you parked your car in the tiny city of Belle Plaine, you could lose track of it in Minneapolis. #4 - Super Cruise When you drive the 2025 CT5, you can also enjoy available Super Cruise, a hands-free driving technology. Super Cruise uses information from your vehicle’s GPS, sensors, and cameras to help you stay in your lane while you take your hands off the wheel. Cadillac is upgrading Super Cruise to be compatible with 750,000 miles of highways across North America, nearly doubling the number of available roads. This includes Route 169 through Belle Plaine. When you need a break from steering during your commute to Minneapolis, you can enjoy a safe reprieve.

If you’re looking for an all-electric SUV that can take you, your passengers, and plenty of cargo anywhere you need to go without emitting any harmful pollutants into the air, then you’re in luck. As more and more options hit the market, there’s never been a better time to be looking for an electric SUV. For the 2024 model year, Chevy is introducing a brand-new option into the field: the Blazer EV. While it’s named after the gasoline-powered Blazer SUV, the Blazer EV has been designed from the ground up as an all-electric vehicle using the Ultium platform, giving it solid range and a more modern aesthetic than the original. more Though the Blazer EV has a lot going for it, it’s going to have a hard time going up against the Cadillac LYRIQ, which debuted for the 2023 model year as the first SUV to use the Ultium platform. Both of these vehicles have a ton in common, so you might be wondering if the Blazer EV is just a more affordable version of the LYRIQ. As your place to go to find the Cadillac LYRIQ for sale near Eagle Lake, we here at Snell Cadillac want to let you know how the LYRIQ stacks up against competitors so you can make an informed decision. Today, we’re going to see how the 2024 LYRIQ compares to the 2024 Blazer EV, from solid stats to intangible qualities. Let’s dive in and see which EV is the better buy. Range and Power Both the Blazer EV and the LYRIQ offer drivers the option between rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). The RWD system is very similar for the two. No matter which model you choose, the RWD setup produces 340 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. There is a slight difference in range, however. The LYRIQ is a bit longer and heavier than the Blazer EV. That gives you more comfort and cargo space to work with, but it does mean that it gets 314 miles of estimated range with RWD, while a Blazer EV with RWD gets 324 miles. Of course, that’s not a huge disparity, and most drivers probably won’t notice it on a day-to-day basis. With AWD, you get more traction, which comes in handy while driving around Eagle Lake during an icy Minnesota winter or even just on a rainy day. Opting for AWD over RWD generally means a hit to efficiency since power is going to all four wheels instead of just two, and these EVs are no exception. The Blazer EV compounds this by pairing the AWD option with a smaller 85 kWh battery instead of the 102 kWh battery in the RWD model, giving it an estimated range of just 279 miles. Further, AWD doesn’t make up for that drop in range with extra power; it actually lowers the vehicle’s overall output to 288 hp, so you should expect a peppier ride from the RWD version. The Cadillac LYRIQ with AWD is a completely different story. It does lose a bit of range, but not nearly as much because it keeps the 102 kWh battery, bringing the figure down to a still very impressive 307 miles, making it possible to drive from Eagle Lake to Omaha on a single charge. And instead of turning down the power compared to RWD, the LYRIQ’s AWD system brings its figures up to 500 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, so you can pass with confidence and let loose on your next joy ride. With this model, AWD is the upgrade it should be instead of being a mixed bag like it is with the Blazer EV. Style and Aesthetics The Blazer EV has its own distinctive style, which definitely has some solid futuristic charm. But the LYRIQ has many of the same assets on its exterior, like sleek headlights and a commanding grille, alongside a sleeker body and the timeless prestige of the Cadillac badge instead of the humbler Chevy bowtie. Inside, the Blazer EV is going for a sporty look, with bright red accents and bold, round air vents that are designed to catch your eye. While it’s certainly unique, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. The interior of the LYRIQ is going for elegance instead of athleticism, with air vents that blend seamlessly into the dash and a layout that’s minimalist without being stark. Whether you’re cruising around Eagle Lake or giving your in-laws a ride from the airport, you’ll be impressing everyone who gets a look at your SUV, exterior and interior alike. Technology Features Both the LYRIQ and the Blazer EV have modern infotainment systems with a familiar basic setup: there’s a touchscreen in the center of the dash, a digital driver information screen behind the wheel, physical buttons throughout the cabin, and voice command capability. Both also come standard with Google Built-In, which lets you use apps like Google Maps, Google Play, and more through the vehicle’s interface. However, on the Blazer EV, this feature is a substitution for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which are conspicuously absent from its list of features. The 2024 LYRIQ has both of these systems for connecting your phone to the interface alongside Google Built-In, and they’re wireless, so you don’t have to reach for a cord to hook your smartphone up to the infotainment system. The hardware is also not identical. In the Blazer EV, the driver information center and central touchscreen are close to each other but are distinct entities. The LYRIQ, on the other hand, has a single curving screen that includes both displays. This not only makes for a nicer aesthetic, but it also makes it easier to glance at both, so you can get your eyes back on the road quickly and stay safe. Touchscreens are great for their versatility, but they can be difficult to use while driving because they’re hard to use without looking at them. In the LYRIQ, you can bypass the touchscreen by using a unique tactile rotary controller in the center console to change your settings. The Blazer EV has no such feature, so you’re stuck with the touchscreen whether it’s convenient at the moment or not. The LYRIQ Is a Great Luxury EV at a Great Price Overall, it’s clear that the LYRIQ offers a better driving experience than the Blazer EV, with its sleek look, well-appointed interior, and luxurious lineup of features. Surprisingly, this extra quality doesn’t come at a huge markup, either. With a starting price of $58,590, the LYRIQ Tech is only $4,370 more expensive than the comparable Blazer EV RS RWD, which starts at $54,200. Although the base Blazer EV AWD models begin at just $48,800, it needs to be remembered that they have a much smaller battery pack for significantly less range and power. With all of that in mind, the choice becomes even clearer: the Cadillac LYRIQ is the way to go. Eagle Lake drivers won’t just get a well-appointed interior, a cutting-edge powertrain, and a hearty helping of style when they choose the LYRIQ; they’ll also get fantastic value from a luxury vehicle. What more can you ask for? If you’re interested in learning more about this well-rounded luxury SUV of the future, you can do more research here on our website, give us a call to ask us any specific questions you may have, or take the short drive over to our Mankato dealership to come and see the LYRIQ up close and in person. We'll put you behind the wheel for a test drive that’s sure to exceed your expectations. MSRP may change without notice. See dealer for complete details.

No other brand radiates style and finesse more perfectly than Cadillac. From the days of tail fins and broad grilles that were the ultimate symbol of social status to the Escalade SUV that was a prime staple of many music videos in the late 1990s to today, there's nothing quite like a Cadillac. In an age where more brands are going electric, and the EV continues to rise in prominence and popularity, it only makes sense that such a revered brand would bring its unique vision to the forefront. Of course, we're talking about the brilliant and beautiful 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. Debuting last year as one of the most coveted EVs on the marketplace, it's competing against the likes of similar offerings from BMW, Genesis, Rivian, and Lotus. Join us as we take a closer look at this immaculate EV, answering any questions you might have regarding a Cadillac LYRIQ for sale. more What Is the LYRIQ? Coinciding with the ever-increasing popularity and accessibility of the EV is the SUV's continued upward trajectory as the favored method of transportation among drivers. In recent years, fully electrified SUVs have blended both of these worlds together, and the results have generated palpable levels of excitement everywhere. The LYRIQ is Cadillac's response to this growing trend, combining the environmentally conscious drivetrain with the vehicle class that more consumers are gravitating towards. The classic Cadillac shield adorns the front, and the aerodynamic design follows in the footsteps of the brand's predecessors. Performance for the Posh Traveler Many electrified crossovers place a strong emphasis on bypassing the pump and saving on fuel costs. As is to be expected, the Cadillac LYRIQ possesses this unique advantage, but there's much more to this vehicle than just allowing drivers to save on fuel. Always the over-achiever intent on offering consumers the very best and surpassing expectations, the LYRIQ is formulated for high performance. Two powertrains are available, both of which push the expectations of the EV to the limit. The standard offering is a combination of RWD and a 102 kWh battery, delivering 340 hp to drive you forward. For those who favor a more thrilling ride, Cadillac doesn't disappoint, with an available powertrain featuring two electric motors that deliver 500 hp to all four wheels. The AWD version of the LYRIQ can travel from 0-60 mph in a mere 4.6 seconds, making it ideal for those with a thirst for adrenaline. It's Going the Distance For many years, the prevailing concept behind high-performance vehicles was that traveling at high speeds meant burning through fuel. Luckily, this aspect has no bearing on fully electrified vehicles, and the LYRIQ has a range that coincides with its copious amounts of horsepower. The LYRIQ has a lengthy range, and both powertrains are quite literally neck-and-neck with one another. The single-motor option is expected to travel up to 314 miles on a full charge, whereas the AWD powertrain with a dual-motor system can travel up to 307 miles. With multiple ways to charge the LYRIQ, including home charging and an abundance of public charging stations, this EV is easy and convenient to charge. A Truly Decadent Interior Like a true Cadillac, the interior of the LYRIQ continues the time-honored tradition of giving drivers a chance to benefit from luxury beyond their wildest imaginations. In an age where the average size of a vehicle's infotainment screen is usually at most 7-8 inches, the LYRIQ has a dazzling display that spans 33 inches. The curved LED screen serves as the vehicle instrument panel and infotainment screen that provides a gateway to the various features showcased in the LYRIQ. As has been par for the course in recent years, compatibility with Apple and Android products is standard, but that's not all. A high-end stereo system from AKG, which consists of 19 speakers, is also included, plus a Wi-Fi Hotspot to remain in tune with your day from the road. To say that Cadillac spared no expense is certainly an understatement, as this posh vehicle offers you all the tech you need to take on your day with confidence while enjoying your favorite tunes, apps, and more in transit. The design of its lavish cabin is quite pleasing to the eye, not to mention comfortable and generous when it comes to the amenities that Cadillac has to offer. With its leather upholstery, open-pore wood trims, and a two-tone color scheme, it's a luxury vehicle in every sense of the word. Drivers and passenger seats are separated by a generously sized center console, and by all accounts, the ride is as quiet as it possibly can be. Active Noise Cancellation limits road noise and congestion around you so that you can sit back and truly revel in the journey. With all of the intuitive features designed to make the ride better, your time behind the wheel of the LYRIQ will be a truly immersive experience. Safety and Driver Assistance Technology High performance and a refined interior aren't the only tricks that the Cadillac LYRIQ has hidden beneath its chiseled fenders. Cutting-edge safety and driving assistance features are also there, ready to add peace of mind and certainty to any type of journey. Many of the standard features that Cadillac equips their fleet with are all here, such as automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision alert, and lane departure and keeping assistance. However, it's the available features that offer the most excitement. Adaptive cruise control has become one of the most sought-after features since it debuted a few years ago. Technology altering a vehicle's speed to coincide with traffic patterns has been revolutionary in preventing driver fatigue and increasing reaction time, particularly during long stretches of highway driving. The LYRIQ can also be outfitted with Super Cruise hands-free driving technology to revitalize the way you travel. With over 750,000 miles of compatible roads all over North America, enjoying a stress-free ride is easy when the LYRIQ is in charge of your journey. Plus, with the impressive range capabilities of the LYRIQ, you can travel from coast to coast without worrying about fuel costs hampering your enjoyment, or taking time out of your trip to locate a gas station. Experience the 2024 LYRIQ at Snell Cadillac In an age where the capabilities of EVs are expanding every year by leaps and bounds, it was only a matter of time before Cadillac decided to toss its hat into the ring. Combining high performance, incredible range, and luxury, this high-end brand fused these features into one affordable option that's too impressive to ignore. The Cadillac LYRIQ is a shining example of the dedication to the average consumer that Cadillac has practiced for well over a century. Dedication is certainly the name of the game when it comes to the shopping experience at Snell Cadillac. We'll help you schedule that test drive so you can experience first-hand the excitement and intrigue that surrounds the 2024 LYRIQ, and we'll do our best to get one into your driveway.

The rise in popularity of SUVs and crossovers is great for many drivers. However, those of us who love a good sedan often feel left out in the cold. Fortunately, some companies still understand how important a great car is, such as Cadillac, which has one of the best sedan lineups out there in an SUV-dominated market. You might not be able to find as many Cadillac cars as you once could, but what’s available is great for a wide range of drivers. Of course, even having four options can become confusing or difficult to navigate if you’re unsure what you want. Suppose you’ve been looking for a Cadillac for sale near Belle Plaine. In that case, we’re ready to assist you with everything you need at Snell Cadillac in Mankato. While we’re always happy to chat with you, answer your questions, and help you find the perfect vehicle, we also know how helpful it is to get information before you even ask any questions. So today, we thought it would be fun to take a look at the 2024 Cadillac sedan models available to you and see what each has to offer. This way, it will be easier to check out each one, quickly consider what sets them apart, and decide which car is right for you. more The 2024 Cadillac CT4 To kick things off, we have the 2024 Cadillac CT4, a small luxury sedan that’s a perfect choice if you need something modest in size but with plenty of style and sophistication to go around. The CT4 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that delivers 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, so you know it’s fun to drive and feels fantastic when you’re behind the wheel. A rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard on the CT4, but we strongly suggest a model with the available all-wheel drive (AWD) for better control and traction in Belle Plaine in the winter. Three different trims are available for the CT4: the standard Luxury model, a Premium Luxury option, or a Sport trim. The CT4 Luxury comes with 17-inch Bright Silver wheels wrapped in all-season tires, LED headlamps and tail lamps, and body-color exterior details. Moving inside, the Luxury features an eight-inch Infotainment display with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an eight-speaker premium audio system, Inteluxe seating, and a 12-way power driver’s seat with lumbar controls. If you move up to the Premium Luxury model, you'll have a more powerful engine available (we’ll look at it below with the CT4 V-Series), and you'll get a number of upgrades. The Premium Luxury has 18-inch wheels on the outside, 14-way adjustable driver and front-passenger seats, leather seating surfaces with mini-perforated inserts, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more. Moving up to the final Sport trim, we find a body-color rear spoiler for a touch of sporty flare, brushed metal alloy sport pedals with raised rubber surfaces for traction, and 18-way power-adjustable front bucket seats for added comfort. The 2024 Cadillac CT4 V-Series If you like the look and size of the standard CT4 but want boosted power and performance, you should check out the V-Series models. You have two options: the standard CT4-V or the CT4-V Blackwing, so we’ll look at both. The CT4-V comes with a 2.7L Dual Volute turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 325 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque, which is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission (this engine is available for the CT4 Premium Luxury trim we looked at above). It features Brembo performance brakes up front to grant you better control over all this power, plus you get your choice of RWD or AWD. This incredible car even has a 14-speaker Bose premium sound system inside to ensure a great time on the road. For even greater power, there’s the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, which features a 3.6L Twin Turbo V6 that puts out an incredible 472 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque. The CT4-V is pure performance and luxury; you can choose a six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic, whichever you prefer. You get 18-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance summer-only tires (so keep that in mind before winter hits Belle Plaine), plus gorgeous visual and tech details inside and out. For example, the Blackwing features a 15-speaker AKG Premium Surround Sound system, with 18-way performance front bucket seats, a 12-inch reconfigurable driver cluster display, and much more. The 2024 Cadillac CT5 For something more prominent than the CT4 models, the 2024 Cadillac CT5 is a midsize luxury sedan that’s perfect if you need a car for transporting the family or simply prefer a bigger trunk. Beyond the difference in size, there are a number of similarities and differences between this and the CT4, such as the CT5 featuring the same 2.0L twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine as the CT4, with 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Much like the CT4, it has a 10-speed automatic transmission and is available with RWD or AWD. Again, we suggest AWD for dealing with those brutal winters in Belle Plaine or around Minneapolis. The Cadillac CT5 has three trims with the same naming scheme as the CT4 trims: Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport. Many features and options are similar between their counterparts, such as the Premium Luxury giving you two engines to choose from, and the Sport model having details like a body-color rear spoiler and front bucket seats. More prominently, the CT5 has a larger 10-inch Infotainment display and a standard nine-speaker sound system. However, many of its other differences come down to size. While both of these sedans comfortably fit up to five passengers, the CT4 has about 38 inches of front headroom and 42 inches of front legroom, plus about 36 inches of second-row headroom and just over 33 inches of legroom in the back, as well as 10.7 cu.ft. of trunk volume. By comparison, the 2024 CT5 has 39 inches of front headroom and more than 42 inches of front legroom, plus more than 36 inches of second-row headroom and nearly 38 inches of legroom in the back. The bigger size of the CT5 gives you nearly 12 cu.ft. of trunk volume, providing you with much more space to load up with everything you need. The 2024 Cadillac CT5 V-Series Finally, we come to the CT5 V-Series, similar to the CT4 V-Series. The similarities extend to your model choices: the base CT5-V and the more performance-heavy CT5-V Blackwing. The major difference, however, is what this performance means: the CT5-V comes with a 3.0L Twin Turbo V6 engine that delivers 360 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. You can see this is quite a bit more powerful than the CT4-V, and it comes with a 10-speed automatic and launch control for boosted acceleration from a stop. The CT5 V-Blackwing is the high-performance star of the Cadillac lineup thanks to its monster of a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine that roars to life with 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque. You can get this with a six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic. It comes with a high-performance suspension, a custom launch control system, and Brembo's high-performance front and rear brakes to grant you as much control as possible over all this power. Naturally, this power is combined with exquisite luxury, including an AKG Premium 16-speaker audio system, 18-way performance front bucket seats with leather seating, alloy sport pedals, and much more. Cadillac Makes Amazing Cars for Belle Plaine Drivers As you can see, you can’t go wrong with any Cadillac sedan; it simply comes down to what you’re looking for in your next car. First, decide whether the smaller size of the CT4 works for you or if you prefer the midsize CT5 for its added roominess. Then, choose if one of the standard models meets your needs or if you’re looking for a high-performance machine like a V-Series model to get your heart pounding. From there, it’s easier to start choosing between the different trim levels and available features, ensuring you get the perfect car with everything you want. After that, pay us a visit at Snell Cadillac in Mankato so we can get you a Cadillac that you'll love.

Luxury at a Fraction of the Cost St. Peter drivers don’t have to worry about exceeding their budget or compromising their must-haves when investing in a used Cadillac XT6. The 2024 XT6 starts at $48,795, which is an incredible price for a three-row SUV with the Cadillac name.

With your money working harder and going further, you’ll find you can get behind the wheel of a fully loaded XT6 with every feature and convenience imaginable. 2. Plenty of Room for Your Family and Cargo As a three-row SUV, the XT6 is perfect for St. Peter families that value luxury, versatility, and functionality. Most three-row SUVs prioritize the driver’s comfort, followed by the second-row passengers. The third row is often overlooked and cramped, but that isn’t the case with the XT6. Cadillac strategically designed the XT6 to ensure every seat offers the same comfort and quality expected of the Cadillac brand. Beyond offering seating for up to seven, the XT6 ensures everyone’s comfort and offers a place for everything without impeding the cabin’s luxurious design or functionality. As you navigate life in St. Peter, you can take advantage of the XT6’s expansive 78.7 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the front row, which is enough room for larger items like golf clubs. With 43.1 cu.ft. behind the second row and 12.6 cu.ft. behind the third, there’s plenty of room for cargo like backpacks, luggage, groceries, and more, even if every seat is occupied. Cadillac adds to the XT6’s versatility by integrating functional storage throughout the cabin. The center console is lined and features a dedicated compartment for your smartphone, which doubles as a wireless charging station. There’s a place to store loose change and secure your beverages with cup holders throughout the cabin. You’ll also find phone storage in the third row, with the cargo area also featuring underfloor storage that keeps precious items secure and out of sight. 3. An Upscale Cabin Fit for Royalty Cadillac introduced drivers to premium luxury over a century ago, setting new standards with every new model. Today, the XT6 is part of that legacy, with a cabin that showcases Cadillac’s exceptional success at giving St. Peter drivers everything they want and more in an SUV. As you shop for a used XT6, you’ll experience this luxury firsthand, from the exotic wood trim in the XT6 Premium Luxury to the carbon-fiber trim that adorns the XT6 Sport. Depending on the trim, you’ll find plenty of amenities throughout the XT6’s cabin. The seating is plush and comfortable, with some models boasting Cadillac’s semi-aniline premium leather-appointed seating. This leather finish perfectly complements the heated and ventilated front-row seats and the heated second-row outboard seats. It also matches the leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel, which adds another touch of luxury and comfort to your time in the driver’s seat. 4. Your Safety Is a Priority The XT6’s recent introduction into the Cadillac lineup makes it an excellent option for St. Peter drivers who want the latest safety and driver-assist technologies at a more affordable price. The XT6 debuted in 2020 with a comprehensive safety suite expanding beyond its state-of-the-art restraint system and enhanced vehicle structure. For example, every used XT6 is equipped with an HD Rear Vision Camera with Remote Wash that ensures your visibility even on the wettest days in St. Peter. The XT6’s standard safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a Following Distance Indicator, and Forward Collision Alert that mitigate the potential for frontal and rear collisions. Front and Rear Park Assist makes it easier to maneuver the SUV in congested or tight areas around St. Peter, while Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning help you keep the SUV centered in its lane. As you shop for a used XT6, be mindful of Cadillac's many additional driver-assist technologies with certain trims and packages. For example, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control can dramatically improve your commute from St. Peter to Mankato, while the XT6’s Head-Up Display keeps your focus on the road ahead. Advanced technologies like Night Vision outfit the SUV with a virtual spotter at night, while other tools like the HD Surround Vision and Surround Vision Recorder give you a comprehensive view of the SUV. 5. Cutting-Edge Technologies to Upgrade Your Commute How long is your weekday commute compared to the 16-minute average for most St. Peter residents? Whether your trek to work takes you to Mankato or keeps you in St. Peter, the XT6 will make every drive more enjoyable. Cadillac ensures as much by outfitting the XT6 with seamless connectivity features that put your smartphone and everything else you need within reach. More importantly, the XT6’s introduction in 2020 means these connectivity tools are comparable to the newest model. Seamless connectivity in the XT6 starts with the SUV’s modern cockpit framed by a digital driver display and a central infotainment system. The center touchscreen display is customizable, with Cadillac letting you create multiple user profiles to reflect your preferences. Beyond this personalization, smartphone integration is seamless via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with Cadillac’s navigational tool making it easy to navigate the fastest and most efficient route. 6. Engaging, Dynamic, and Surprisingly Efficient The XT6 is a favorite among our customers because its luxurious cabin and innovative technologies showcase Cadillac’s exceptional reputation for exceeding driver expectations. However, our St. Peter customers also fall in love with the XT6 after their first test drive when they discover it has the heart of a road warrior and performs legions beyond a standard three-row SUV. How so? Available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive, the XT6 offers all-season confidence and plenty of fun behind the wheel. Depending on the year model, you’ll find the XT6 equipped with a proven 3.6L V6 engine or a turbocharged 2.0L engine mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Precision Shift. The 2.0L turbocharged powerplant sets the benchmark, producing 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque as it modestly sips fuel and averages 21 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. The 3.6L V6 offers an even better experience in the driver’s seat, producing 310 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque. Even then, stopping for fuel in St. Peter won’t be as frequent, with the V6 averaging around 19 MPG and 26 MPG in the city and on the highway. MSRP may change without notice.
