2021 Cadillac XT6 Review, Ratings, Specs, Prices, and Photos

Cadillac’s 3-row hauler not termed “Escalade” returns this 12 months for family members consumers. The 2021 Cadillac XT6 adds a turbo-four engine on reduced trims for a reduced entry cost and wireless smartphone compatibility.

We price it at 7. all round, which is buoyed by very good security scores and very good home inside. Three-row rivals are all elbows these days, and choices from Ford, Lincoln, Kia, and some others are just as persuasive. (Study much more about how we price cars.)

Starting from $forty eight,990, the XT6 Luxury tabs a 2.-liter turbo-four from the smaller XT4 and XT5 two-row crossovers and presses it into duty in the 3-row XT6. It tends to make 237 horsepower, and we’ve liked it in other crossovers, but we haven’t yet driven it in the XT6. Our hopes aren’t high: it is saddled with four hundred to 800 much more lbs . to lug in the XT6, and which is prior to travellers and gear are aboard. We’ll report back once we generate that variation.

Overview continues beneath

Much more widespread and probably much more palatable is a three.six-liter V-six that tends to make 310 hp and utilized in the XT6 Top quality Luxury and XT6 Sport. Both engines are paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission and entrance-wheel generate. All-wheel generate is a $2,000 choice other than on the XT6 Sport, where by it is typical gear.

We have our nitpicks with some of the tuning in the XT6, but most journey easily thanks to a four-wheel impartial suspension. Adaptive dampers are optional and can aid, too.

The XT6 seats up to 7 inside, though we favor the 6-seat configuration with second-row captain’s chairs. The initial two rows are supremely snug, we wouldn’t complain in any of its seats. Stick us in the 3rd row with 29.5 inches of leg home and we might have words and phrases.

Although the XT6 is relevant to the Traverse and Enclave, it is shorter and it displays in cargo capability. With all 3 rows in spot, the XT6 carries just 12.six cubic feet of gear. That grows proportionally to the variety of seats that are folded—all the way to 78.7 cubic feet.

Federal and impartial testers concur that the XT6 is safe in a crash, and each and every crossover has automated crisis braking.

The new XT6 Luxury base trim desires for very little. It’s geared up with an 8.-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, eighteen-inch wheels, synthetic leather-based upholstery, seating for up to 7, heated entrance seats, entrance-wheel generate, sunroof, and a turbo-four. We’d phase up to an XT6 Top quality Luxury for about $5,000 much more and include twenty-inch wheels, leather-based upholstery, and much more obtainable luxurious possibilities.

It’s feasible to expend much more, but it is also feasible to expend fewer on rivals and get just about as substantially.
