About 2019 Cadillac XT4
The Cadillac XT4 is an upcoming compact crossover that will slot under the midsizeĀ XT5Ā as Cadillac’s second crossover utility vehicle (CUV). TheĀ XT4 will be underpinned by the front-drive-basedĀ GM E2 platformĀ and will be produced at theĀ GM Fairfax plantĀ in Kansas City, Kansas.
From a business standpoint, the XT4 is of significant importanceĀ for Cadillac’s global sales growth plans, since itĀ will fill a glaring hole in the brand’s vehicle portfolio. With just a single crossover (the XT5), Cadillac’sĀ crossover lineup has been sorely lacking compared to competing luxuryĀ makes,Ā all ofĀ which offerĀ three models or more.Ā In fact, some rivals, including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, offer up to seven CUVs/SUVs in their lineup asĀ utility vehicle sales are experiencingĀ rampant growth in the marketplace.

Wish the engine produced more power like the 2.0T in the ATS but damn… the XT4 is shaping up to be a winner. Canāt wait to see the entire car
Unless it is specific for fuel economy, the 235 HP might be a typo.
Yep needs more engine. Maybe they will surprise us like the CT6. We personally will probably wait for the RWD/AWD XT4 and hopefully more HP. I’m just getting tired of the under engine standard Cadillac. Our 2.0T RWD/AWD ATS is OK but its a Cadillac, and if it has more torque and HP like they is claim, than our 2004 3.6, then its not at the wheel correctly. They are both in the garage side by side and my opinion.
somethings wrong here. Isnāt a new engine with the same displacement supposed to make more power not less.
Estimated starting price ?
TDM
There better be a V6 option available soon after release or at release. Wheel base of an ATS Sedan with Weight of a CTS, cant complain about that though.
JDN knows Luxury and if the Baby Caddys is packing this kinda Heat, just wait till you see the Top Dogs(Escalade, XT8, XT7), still reserving judgment till the eye test, but these are Exciting times for Cadillac and us..now we can assume they may do PHEV’s but do you think they maybe looking at Diesels through out the lines(Escalade – XT4)??
No disrespect but what heat are you referring to.
235 HP is kind of a joke in 2018. Also, just as I suspected all along, the XT4 is more in line size wise of the X1 rather than the X3. It is a little longer than the X1 but shorter than the X3. Cargo volume seems to be a joke as well if they will price this higher than the X1. Cadillac better be offering this as an X1 competitor b/c if they think this size and cargo volume will get the price of an X3, they are crazy. This has to be an X1 competitor for sure. I’ve always thought the reports of this going against the X3 were wrong.
Man this exterior and interior better be a Grand Slam b/c the power numbers are looking to be extremely weak. I hope I am completely wrong and or at least they offer the 3.0TT as an option on this.
Speaking of the 3.0TT, why isn’t this the standard Cadillac V6 yet. The 3.6 has to go ASAP.
From what Iāve read the XT4 will start in the low $30k range. With that said, the engine is extremely underpowered. Was thinking weād get 300hp/300ft-lb but guess Iām just dreaming too big
Should’ve been close to that for an all new engine. This new engine is sounding completely underwhelming unfortunately. This is the first all Johan vehicle and I must admit, I am disheartened by the news today. And I’m a HUGE Johan supporter. Not saying anything about exterior or interior as we have not seen the images yet.
I’m still holding out hope that the information is not accurate or another powerplant will be available b/c this is not competitive at all. I mean the Chevy Nox engine is stronger. It is embarrassing if this is truly the power numbers.
Agreed. Hoping these engine specs are at least for the base model and upper trims get more power. But the order guide lists the engine as standard on all trims.
I find it strange and unlikely that Johan would be given $12 billion to elevate Cadillac to its former glory, just to wimp out on the engine. They have to be up to something
I don’t think Caddy is aiming this at the BMW X3 class. If you look at the likely pricing, the XT4 likely has the Lexus NX and similar crossovers (BMW X1, Audi Q3, Infiniti QX30, M-B CLA) in its sights. The the engine output is right in line with that class and the 9-speed transmission is class leading. Actually, the torque vectoring rear differential and if CDC is the new name for GM’s magnetic ride then I think those two features will be unique to the class. In other applications, the LSY would have to boost its output.
Wish there was a little more power, but I won’t pass judgment until we see more performance figures.
Size-wise, it is between the X1 and X3. Interestingly, its wider than big-brother XT5 – should be sporty looking.
Overall, looks like it will be a winner. Really interested in this new sport focuses trims. Also Light Wheat/Jet Black with Red accents sounds like we are finally gunna see some interesting interior color options. Can’t wait to see the pictures!
How does the Engine match up to the competition? Hope they are not lagging in this department. Then again GM Engines with less stated HP have been known to out perform other Engines with more HP.
Massage seats for Premium Luxury Trims is interesting for this segment. Not sure if this is a segment first or not since I don’t follow the other competitors in this class.
The engines specs could be interesting at bls. ft. of torque available at 1500 RPM.
This vehicle have a long list of features that I need to look which is 46 pages long for such a small CUV.
The XT5 may be a size bigger but it needs modest updates soon before the XT4 steps on it.
See that pretend leather seats still on some vehicles. Not my idea of a Cadillac.
As I’ve said for a while, Cadillac needs to stop the cheap de-contenting with lower trim models. Frankly Cadillac should not have low trim levels. The name Cadillac has to mean something, and leatherette seats are not it. Even the Cimarron had leather seats, though in other ways this represents the further Cimarron-ization of the Cadillac brand. I can’t wait for the sub-ATS model (the CT2?). Or even a “Cadillac” to compete with Mini Cooper. Might as well bring the joke to its logical conclusion.
The XT4 also appears to be underpowered for a Cadillac, and short on front legroom. But it’s very wide, nearly 77″ even with the mirrors folded in, and over 83″ with the mirrors out. That seems too wide for a CUV that’s presumably for tighter (urban?) spaces. So much for Johan being the genius that some here thought he was.
Your idiocy knows no limits, Drew.
Sub-ATS model? Ever heard of the BMW 1/2 series? How about the Audi A3? Mercedes A class? All are done very well and no one views them as cheap or cheapening the brand. In fact, these models enable other āfunā projects that build the brand.
A full line luxury brand doesnāt get built with only a handful of models mate. You also significantly limit your customer lifecycle path without such cars by not attaining a lower price point, at least on paper. Welcome to automotive business strategy 101, a topic you obviously know nothing about Drew.
And no one will or is trying to compete with any mini model… they donāt need to be competed with as there isnāt enough volume there. But there will be a Cadillac that competes with an Audi Q3, Benz GLA and GLB, and BMW X3 and X2… the latter share a platform with the Mini Countryman. You getting it yet?
And anyone who knows anything about this topic will openly laugh at your dim witted āanalysisā on the carās width. Hilarious that you try to hate on jdn and on the product sight unseen. How do you know this wasnāt a strategic decision? Itās only in your mind that the XT4 is for urban/tight spaces or areas… when in reality itās as much for urban environments as it is for the open roads. You getting it yet?
Also, every XT model coming out from this point forward is a stop gap model until correct platforms are available to make true Cadillac crossovers… which the XT4 is not. Iāll let you try to wrap your mind around that. Good luck.
“Silent”, so again it’s right for Cadillac to do something because the Germans do it? As I have said, Cadillac became the #1 luxury brand offered in the USA – for many decades – because it stood for something. Not because it copied the Germans. The Cadillac that was a leader was never about small, cramped, hard-riding, unrefined, unreliable, imitations of other people’s cars.
As far as the idea that Cadillac has to offer a product to every step of the “lifecycle” as you call it, including lower priced cars so that everyone can afford a Cadillac, that’s brand-killing too. GM already sells cars like the Spark and the Sonic to cover that area. Offering tiny Cadillacs is just as bad an idea now as it was when they came out with the Cimarron.
It’s not correct to think that a typical person is going to stick to one brand for life. What you want in a luxury brand is for every experience with that brand to be awesome, wonderful, amazing. That simply won’t happen if you give people a cheapened experience and have them thinking “Yeah I’ve been in a Cadillac, it’s nothing special”. But you act as if once someone has tried one brand, they are a customer for life. The reality is that people change brands all the time, even at older ages, and certainly at younger ages.
According to your theory, GM should be selling Cadillac-branded tricycles, so that they’ll have customers for life. Or maybe that’s not soon enough, probably you’d want them to have Cadillac baby strollers and perhaps Cadillac cribs.
As far as the width of the XT4, you claim that it’s not necessarily intended for urban/tight environments. But that is at odds with your “lifecycle” view of the line-up. Clearly some rich guy in the suburbs is going to want an XT5 or Escalade rather than an XT4. So the XT4 is for people who are probably young, less affluent, and/or more likely to live in the city than the suburbs. It’s shorter and it doesn’t have much carrying capacity, compared with other SUV/CUVs. One would presume its designed to fit into tight parking spaces and tight streets, yet it’s exceptionally wide – that’s a problem, IMO. Not to mention it appears to be ridiculously short on front legroom (specs of under 41″), especially for a Cadillac.
I realize you’d prefer to just be a cheerleader for Johan no matter what he does, and you’d like to pretend to “openly laugh” at my views, saying that my “idiocy knows no limits”, and further saying I’m “dim witted” for even having these opinions. That’s the kind of narrow-minded outlook which has gotten Cadillac into trouble in the first place, not to mention leading to the bankruptcy of GM a little less than 10 years ago (essentially wiping out the shareholders’ value). I – and others – have given both praise and criticism of Cadillac’s product offerings; you seem to think it’s your job to be a yes-man for Johan and cheer everything he does. That’s your right to do, but I think you would be better served by taking dissenting views seriously, rather than immediately deriding them as idiotic.
Only 235 HP? Is that a misprint?
If not, itās an embarrassment to say the least. I mean this canāt compete with an X1 let alone the X3. Wow
Hope thereās way more info to come or those numbers are completely incorrect.
How much power and torque do you think the base X3 has? I’ll tell ya, 240hp 258lb-ft. Spool what’s your point about competing?
It is actually 248HP nice try.
You are missing two key points…First, Cadillac is the one chasing BMW not the other way around.
Second, I can get an inline 6 on the X3 which takes the X3 from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds…fasted in it’s class.
Infinity just released the all new QX50 with a 2.0T that makes 278HP.
Alfa Romeo has the STELVIO with it’s base 2.0T at 280HP. Do you see who the chaser is and who is sitting at the top. BMW can get away with lower HP ratings, Cadillac unfortunately cannot.
And, this is an all new engine from the ground up design and that is the power Cadillac mustered up huh.
I bet when BMW redesigns the corporate 2.0T that they have been using for years, it will make a lot more HP than what Cadillac is bringing to the table.
Momolos – while I agree with you in theory that Cadillac is, indeed, playing catch-up with its rivals and thus should deliver a better product in every way, I disagree in real-world implementation.
The grave reality is that very few (if any) real-life customers who buy the cars the XT4 (in this form) will compete with actually care about the hp/tq numbers. Spend some time in a Lexus dealership and see how many ask about the horsepower or torque figures on the NX. Do the same for potential buyers of the GLC300, X3 2.0T or Infiniti QX50. Alfa Romeo Stelvio has 280 horses!!! Great for it! It still can’t manage to sell more than a thousand units a month with those 280 horses. And it will only get worse (link below). The sad truth is people buying in this segment do not care… and they won’t care in the XT4 either.
Stelvio sales, for your reference:
http://fcauthority.com/fiat-chrysler-automobiles/fiat-chrysler-automobiles-sales-numbers/alfa-romeo-sales-numbers/alfa-romeo-stelvio-sales-numbers/
What they do care about is how the car feels… and I have a feeling that the XT4 will deliver extremely well on this front in terms of power delivery and refinement.
Alex Luft, I mostly agree that the XT4 is likely to be about how the car “feels” when test-driving, rather than relying on bragging-rights engine specs. However, there’s also some concern that the relatively low HP and torque numbers will translate into a “feel” that the XT4 is lacking in power when test-driven.
I also agree with you on refinement; that should be a focus in any luxury car. This probably will be a case where the test drive is essential, to determine whether the XT4 has “Cadillac power” and “Cadillac refinement”. Since no one here, or even professional car reviewers, have been able to test drive it, all we have right now are specs. I do hope that this – or any vehicle that’s been given the Cadillac badge – will have power and refinement worthy of the brand name.
” lacking in power when test-driven”. I bet you never have taken a Cadillac test drive! do it first then comment. You are lacking in support for U.S. brand and their own quality. I have driven U.S. brands since 1965 and all were weak in HP (my first only had 50!) but gave me great rides. If you want just HP, buy a horse!
Like I said the exterior and interior will be the key for this vehicle, I still personally think the power isnāt enough from a brand new from the ground up engine. Having said all that, Cadillac needs this to sell in droves.
Andrew, I do agree with Momolos. If BMW comes with 248, then the new Cadillac at least should have 250.
Im very upset, even though I know that there will be more powerful engines, but this is very weak. Weakest in class. Its not a good idea to make a new car with the weakest standart engine…
The BMW 330 has what you call the weakest engine in its class… and it stills outsells everything in its class. There goes your theory… right out the window.
I am a bit confused by the excitement expressed in the comments so far. Why is it great news that the 2.0 litre 4 is now only 235 hp and 258 pounds-feet of torque? My ATS is 275 and 295 respectively. Also, how is it a CUV the same size as a Honda CRV can have a cargo area that is half the size? 22 cubic feet is just too small to even consider for anyone who carries actual, you know, cargo. I was really looking forward to this new model, but those two things are major stumbling blocks.
A new diesel engine, PHEV Drivertrain system.
This is pretty much what I expected.
I just with it had more power at least in the sport version. They need to set that engine appart from the Chevy Nox.
Regardless it should do well.
I was interested.
what does “Clinic-validated exterior and interior design appeal” mean? is that fancy wording for focus group?
Correct. A focus group is a clinic.
It is like cut and stitched interior.
I guess the all the others are. Hacked and glued.
Along those lines, can anyone shed light on authentic interior decor?????????
Actually the Equinox 2.0 gas engine has those ratings beat!
Yes it sure does.
Embarrassing for Cadillac if these numbers are accurate. Hope the info is a complete smokescreen.
The ratings do not matter. What matters is the refinement of the engine. The LTG makes great power on paper, but the engine is not very refined. The Germans make less power on paper, but are significantly more refined and set the benchmark in the class.
I assume that this is the goal with the new 2.0L Turbo LSY – refinement. A few ponies here or there doesn’t ultimately matter… especially for the customers buying these vehicles.
Sorry Alex, if I am paying Cadillac prices I donāt expect to get dusted at the stoplight by corporate Envisions, Equinox and Terrains!
Refinement is sort of sobering when all you can do is spot the taillights of your cheaper corporate brethren. I will happily put $5-$10k in my pocket and take a pass on ārefinementāā
Not only are the Germans refined, many magazines continually state their horsepower/torque figures are noticeably underrated, specifically BMW.
With that being said, Iām guessing they have refinement and performance covered, which is not good news for Cadillac.
Exactly.
Iām not trying to be difficult Iām really not. But I have a quick question. Are you stating or should we accept that Cadillac engineers cannot make more power with more refinement at the same time while engineering a brand new engine?
If they canāt achieve BOTH, the $12 billion experiment is a failure!
Talk about throwing the baby out with the water, Martin.
First: in saying you will “get dusted at a stoplight”, are you saying that people will be quarter mile racing the XT4? I’ve never seen anyone drive a car (crossover) IN THIS CLASS in anything close to a sporty manner… and definitely have never seen them being raced from stoplight to stoplight. Higher-performance versions like the BMW X3 with the 3.0 Turbo or the GLC43 AMG? Sure – those get driven in a spirited fashion… but the basers? C’mon – think of the demographics and target market here.
Second: a base Camaro 2.0T will also “dust” the XT4… whether at a stoplight or in the twisties… and it starts at least $10k less than the XT4 (I imagine). Is that how we’re going to measure vehicles now?
Third: I invite you to consider this data-point: one of the best-selling vehicles in the prestige compact crossover segment is the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. It’s either first or second month after month in terms of sales volume… and it’s very likely first if you remove the games BMW plays with its sales numbers (stuffing models into dealer loaner/rental programs, etc…. but that’s a different topic). The point is that the GLC is a best-seller month-in, month-out. And guess what?
The base model – the GLC300 – makes 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque mated to a 9-speed auto… while weighing 3,891 pounds. That should tell you something about the priorities of people who buy these cars. Hint: it is NOT horsepower or torque… it’s about the overall package, the vehicle itself, the refinement, the image… NOT 0-60 times.
Now, the XT4 (according to this order guide) will make 235 horsepower and 258 horses mated to a 9-speed auto… and it weighs over 200 pounds less than the Benz. So even if someone is racing the base XT4 like a moron, they’re probably going to beat the Benz – the best-selling car in the segment.
So let’s not throw the baby out with the water just yet, eh?
I’ll wager that if Cadillac markets the XT4 correctly, it will quickly rise to become in the top 3 positions in its segment, from a sales volume perspective.
“If they canāt achieve BOTH, the $12 billion experiment is a failure!”
Incorrect.
The only objective way to determine that the $12 billion investment is a failure is if GM doesn’t attain the ROI on said investment based on whatever time frame it has set out for the project.
Something tells me that they will hit their ROI targets… and then some. But one really needs to look at the entire picture to understand this.
Never said they would be continually drag raced. However, everyone occasionally will drive in a spirited manner and the standard of the world should deliver. Just so happens it probably canāt deliver as well as some of itās cheaper corporate brethren!
I guess Mercedes-Benz disagrees that performance doesnāt sell their GLC. Go to site select the vehicle and the first thing that appears is hp, torque and 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds! Nada on the first screen about refinement!
Fine exterior package, availabity of vinyl seats, charging extra for safety packages, and a less than inspiring engine. Was expecting a lot more!
A new Diesel engine and New PHEV system.
Not sure why everyone is upset about the XT4 engine specs.. If you look at the downloaded PDF order guide, the XT4 is for fleet and commercial order only, not for consumer use. There will be other engine choices, believe me. This vehicle with 235 hp is the base engine w/ other engine options we don’t know until Tuesday. Or it could be just an engine for fleet and commercial use only while the consumer version have higher hp rating alongside other engine choices.
I’ll reserve judgement till then.
The fleet and commercial order system is just the name of where the order guide was downloaded from. It’s just the name of the system, which is the same as the retail ordering system, with both having the same order guides for the same vehicles. Don’t get too hung up on that, as I can get you an order guide that says “retail” and it will be the same.
What you guys should be begging hung up on is that this appears to be an all-new 2.0L Turbo engine.
I’d wager that there won’t be any other XT4 engine options for at least 12-24 months.
Boy you guys kill me. Did you really think this was going to have 400hp? Everybody just take a second and take a deep breath. This is not a sports car or sports sedan or sports cuv. What is important is the design both inside and out, the materials used, the quality of the entire package, features features and features. As far as the power output, its competitive with its segment(nx, qx30, xc60, q3,x1).
Nobody says about 400 hp for a standart engine. But 235 is weak as *uck… 270-280 thats what it should be ( I’m angry.
For the base engine its fine, this is probably the least hp driven segment in the industry. Know your crowd. This segment cares about exterior and interior design, quality of materials and technology. Caddy needs to get that right. Lets wait until Tuesday.
Supercruise?
With that engine possibly supersnail?
I think this is just a preview. I expect weāll get a full taste of this vehicle on Tuesday. Cadillac canāt afford to mess this up and they know that. I have faith that they will get it right.
Its gonna get a V sport, but I’m upset on this one. 2 weak š 280 would be good, but not this.
Well the engine numbers may be like this. They will intro other engines later or they may change the numbers before release. At times they hold them to the last min.
235 hp. Dare gently.
The weight goes up 220 lbs on the upper options so I’m guessing engine. At 5100 lbs and this thing doesn’t standard at least 350 HP its just under powered for new Cadillac. Ill wait longer to see. But if the word here is true we don’t get a true XT4 until later with RWD/AWD so wait on Cadillac even longer. I just really want to know the lineup and engines to help make a decision, but then they will tell the other guys and they will just up the game. WHEN will Cadillac learn they need to build a car and keep improving and move, fix it make it rite, build it move, fix it make it rite. Quit telling us the other guys numbers aren’t correct, quit telling us well if you go buy there brand you will find out. Make it fix it and move. WHEN
Will this engine again get the highest CO2 emissions in the market, as do all dated unrefined cadillac engines?
No electric, no phev.
And its very heavy for a very small cargo space. Nothing learned from the ats.
Don’t bother trying to sell this in Europe.
The Germans have that covered!
Jdn’s truly first car will be the CT5. CT5 is the test. Not this. He had an influence on this one,but it is not his product.
We must have been played because those engine numbers must be wrong.
Build excitement, leave expectations lower and come out smashing. This guy could be really smart, or not.
Excited for this week
Are GM and Hyundai in a race to see who can detune their 2.0T’s the most before 2020? GM’s 2.0T put out 260 HP years ago in the HHR and Cobalt SS and then went up to 275 in most of the Cadillac lineup and the Camaro. Then it was brought down to 259 for the Malibu’s and Rega’s several years later. Then the new Malibu and Regal were delivered with only 250 HP. Now we have this weak sauce 235 rating.
Enter Hyundai. They started off with a solid 274 for their 2.0T twin scroll engine way back in 2011. When it ended up in the sport utes that number went down to 264. Then the new Sonata for 2015 dropped to 245 and 240 in the Santa Fe Sport. Now here we are for 2019 with a redesigned Santa FE Sport and you guessed it another power drop down to 235! It’s like the 1970’s all over again when HP figure dropped like a stone from 1972-1979. I’m going to assume they are doing this to meet MPG and emission requirements.
This is a crossover; why would they sacrifice torque for HP?
WOW! I see a lot of “rotten grapes” comments here! Read the Aesop fable and understand. No one can comment negatively on a U.S. product just by the numbers. Go to your Cadillac dealer and feel the XT4 directly, then your views and comments will be valid. I went to our local Chevy dealer in 2009 (during the GM bankruptcy) to buy a new vehicle for my wife, and saw the Equinox for the first time. We liked it and bought it at full price (no discount). Now it is our favorite and most driven vehicle, and GM’s second best seller! Seeing and felling the new Cadillac XT4 will convince many here to change their “one track” minds. GM really does it better!
Coincidentally, the XT4 engine generates exactly the same hp and torque as the Lexus NX 2.0T, which it will no doubt compete with: 235 hp and 258 lbft. It’ll be worth seeing if the new Acura RDX goes from V6 to turbo I4 when it’s revealed at the NY show as well. The new Infiniti QX50 2.0T output is a bit higher at 268 hp/280 lbft.
I was disappointed at first by the 235HP as well, but then I started thinking about 258 lbs of Torque available at 1500 and I bet it is quick off the line. I am more concerned about the lack of cargo space.
What a time to be alive; when 235/265 from a 2L isn’t enough for people.
Relax everyone, the V6 version will obviously have more.
As I read all the comments and the main engine talk. As I filled the 2014 ATS RWD/AWD 2.0T with gas. As I am a 34 year GM owner hear is a new thought. All three of our newer GM vehicles 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0T, 2015 GMC Canyon SLE 3.6, 2017 GMC Sierra Denali 2500HD, can’t put that torque to the road. The HP is this, the torque is this, the mileage is this, the 0 to 60 is this. I would be willing to bet that all three have a 0 to 60 time less than 30 to 60 time. All three shift super fast up and up and up I’m assuming to get the fleet mileage down, but all three can’t figure out what to do at 25 to 30 mph in traffic, shift down, rev-rev no torque to the road. In sport or tow haul everything is fine, but the mileage then is not. They all drive fine, even great on the open road. So sure maybe the EPA Regulations for MPG are the trouble. Drive an Audi feel how that torque is to the road. Now I’m a GM guy but my cousin has Audi and my nephew has BMW, and my uncle has Mercedes. So yes I have driven them all, at dealers, and at home with relatives. It just is not rite, for sure not like the other 34 years. So maybe they Cadillac have figured out how to put the torque to the road and 2.0T is good enough, but my Canyon has a 3.6 and is worse than the ATS. Again I will wait and see.
I regularly visit your site and find a lot of interesting information.
Not only good posts but also great comments.
Thank you and look forward to your page growing stronger.
