Is the Cadillac XT4 Right for You?

You have a lot of options when shopping for a crossover or SUV with a wide range of sizes and styles available to you, which makes choosing the right one all-the-more important. As a Cadillac dealer, we have customers who come to us all the time who feel lost or overwhelmed by the number of options they can choose from. That is why we pride ourselves on delivering unbeatable customer service, starting with taking the time to work closely with our customers and understand exactly what you’re looking for. If you’re interested in a small crossover model with exquisite luxury packed inside it, then the 2023 Cadillac XT4 is the perfect choice with everything you’ve been looking for. Let’s take a look at the XT4 to see what it brings to the road, and you’ll discover why so many people have chosen it.

Bold Power and Precise Engineering

A powerful engine might not be the first thing you look for in a luxury crossover, but it’s actually a great place to start. Even if your focus is on comfortable seating or excellent safety features, you still deserve to have a vehicle that is fun to drive, and much of that depends on the engine in it. It’s easy for manufacturers to get so wrapped up in other details that they overlook the importance of the engine, but fortunately, Cadillac hasn’t done so here.

You get a 2.0L Turbo four-cylinder engine inside the XT4, which delivers 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque and comes paired with an electronically controlled nine-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive driving. Front-Wheel Drive is standard on the XT4, but you can choose All-Wheel Drive instead if you prefer something that handles better in wet weather and on rough terrain. All around, the XT4 comes together as a small crossover that’s quite sporty, and it delivers an experience that makes you look forward to getting behind the wheel.

Just the Right Size

SUVs deliver bold performance and fantastic functionality, but they can also be quite large, so fitting one into a downsized lifestyle is not always easy. That’s why crossovers like the Cadillac XT4 are perfect for many drivers; they give you the functionality of an SUV at a smaller size that’s easier to fit into your life. The XT4 comes through perfectly in this regard as a small model that is just over 180 inches in length and stands about 64 inches tall. You can easily fit the Cadillac XT4 into pretty much any garage, and it makes it easy to find a parking spot when you’re driving around Mankato. Best of all, not only is it demure in size, but thanks to Cadillac’s fantastic engineering and design, you still get…

A Spacious Interior

While we all need a vehicle that we can fit into our lives, the last thing you want is something that’s too small for what you really need. The beauty of a great crossover is that you still get that SUV experience inside, with lots of room that’s easy to use and really take advantage of. For example, the XT4 is a two-row model, so you have seating for up to five passengers, with plenty of room for everyone inside. Up front, you get almost 40 inches of headroom and substantial legroom, while your rear-seat passengers still have more than 38 inches of headroom and almost 40 inches of legroom to stretch out in.

Altogether, the XT4 gives you more than 100 cu.ft. of passenger volume to take advantage of, ensuring that everyone inside is nice and comfortable. When it comes to loading up with things you need to bring with you, then the XT4 shines in that area too. You get more than 22 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the rear seats, which you can easily access through the available hands-free power liftgate. The XT4 offers nearly 49 cu.ft. of total cargo space behind the front seats, which gives you a tremendous amount of room to utilize when it’s just you and one other person.

Exquisite Comfort and Luxury

Comfort is about more than just the amount of space you have to stretch out in, of course, and few car companies understand that as well as Cadillac. Looking at the starting Luxury trim for the XT4, you get gorgeous Inteluxe seating surfaces with an eight-way power driver’s seat and six-way power front-passenger seat. The Luxury also comes with two-way power lumbar support in the front seats, premium carpeted floor mats, and dual-zone automatic climate control to ensure everyone inside remains comfortable.

Moving up to the Premium Luxury trim, you get access to a number of upgraded features, such as leather seating with a driver’s seat memory function that lets you easily swap between two driver presets for the seat, steering column, and outside mirrors. You can also take luxurious comfort even further with options like an available eight-way front-passenger seat, power lumbar massage functionality, and four-way lumbar adjustment. To help with the cold winters here in Minnesota, you can also get heated front and rear seats along with a heated steering wheel to make sure you stay nice and toasty.

Innovative Technology Throughout

Cadillac is a leader in the industry in terms of the technology they provide in their vehicles, which can make your daily routine a lot more enjoyable; this is true even if you opt to shop at a used Cadillac dealership. Standard features in the starting XT4 Luxury trim include an 8-inch multi-touch color Infotainment display with support for Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You get a seven-speaker sound system, standard, along with a 4.2-inch color Driver Information Center display, steering-wheel mounted controls, and paddle shifters to keep you in control at all times. Keyless Open with Remote Start is standard, along with cruise control, numerous USB ports for charging and connectivity, and interior lighting for illuminated entry to welcome you into your vehicle.

With the Premium Luxury trim, you get a number of additional features, such as ambient interior lighting, that makes your XT4 even more welcoming. The available Technology Package elevates things even further with an 8-inch reconfigurable Driver Information Center screen to provide you with additional information. Plus, you get a full-color, reconfigurable head-up display with this package, providing you with additional information on your windshield. With an available wireless phone charger and a Bose Centerpoint 13-speaker sound system, your experience driving the XT4 becomes truly exceptional.

Advanced Features to Keep You Safe

Although we certainly love luxury and comfort, in the end, nothing is more important than how well your vehicle can help protect you and keep you safe on the road. Fortunately, the 2023 XT4 comes through beautifully in this regard thanks to the Cadillac Smart System, a suite of advanced safety features that come standard on every model. This includes a Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, plus Front Pedestrian Braking to help protect everyone. You get an HD Rear Vision camera for added visibility, a Rear Park Assist system that warns you about nearby objects while parking, and a Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, all included.

A Rear Cross Traffic Alert is also standard, even on the starting Luxury trim, along with a Safety Alert Seat that uses vibrations in the driver’s seat to warn you of safety concerns. Moving up to the Premium Luxury trim, you get Lane Keep Assist with a Lane Departure Warning to alert you when you’re drifting from your lane and to help you stay centered. This trim also includes a Following Distance Indicator to warn you when you’re too close to the car in front of you. Available options can expand safety even further with things like Adaptive Cruise Control, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, a Rear Pedestrian Alert, and Automatic Parking Assist that can get your vehicle into and out of parking spots for you.

The XT4 Brings It All Together

To be honest, we’ve only scratched the surface of all of the amazing features and options available for the 2023 Cadillac XT4, but you can clearly see just how much it has to offer. Few other small crossover models can compete with this kind of power, luxury, and innovative technology while also giving you enough room for everything you need. This exquisite combination of style, sophistication, and bold performance typifies Cadillac’s approach to making vehicles, and it’s a big part of why they’ve remained so popular for more than a century.
