FAST FACTS
"The distinctively styled XT4 is mostly competitive on paper, but its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine lacks the performance, refinement and fuel economy of key rivals. We like its crisp widescreen infotainment interface, though, and its seating is on the spacious side for a small SUV."—Ranked #8 out of 12 Subcompact Luxury SUVs
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2025 Cadillac XT4 that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The front-wheel-drive XT4 is mostly competitive on paper, but its engine lacks the performance and refinement of key rivals.
The all-wheel-drive XT4 only loses a single mile per gallon relative to its front-wheel-drive sibling, which is partly explained by the fact that you have to push a button to activate AWD; by default, it's a front-wheel-drive vehicle, and it doesn't remember your preference from drive to drive. In any case, acceleration trails the pack and highlights the forgettability of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
