Canadians will be met with a $60,995 price for the 2020 Cadillac XT6 when it goes on sale up north later this year. All dollar amounts are local Canadian currency.
The starting price nets buyers a Premium Luxury AWD model. Bumping up to the XT6 Sport variant will see the price rise to $63,795. The Sport model adds Cadillac’s Continuous Damp Control and an Active Sport Chassis for a more engaging drive, per the brand.
No matter which variant, every 2020 Cadillac XT6 features a 3.6-liter V-6 engine under the hood married to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Power output sits at 310 horsepower.
Standard features Canadians will find with a new XT6 include an automatic emergency braking system (the first time such technology is standard on a GM vehicle), 20-inch wheels, heated steering wheel, a power sunroof, power-folding third row seating, wireless phone charging, six USB ports scattered throughout the crossover SUV, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Two packages will be available for buyers to ponder as well. The first is an Enhanced Visibility and Technology Package that includes an 8-inch configurable gauge cluster, head-up display, rear camera mirror, and HD surround vision camera among other things. The second is a Driver Assist Package that bundles an advanced version of GM’s automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, night vision, and automatic seat belt tightening.
It’s unclear per the brand’s Canadian announcement if any front-wheel drive models will be offered in the country. In the U.S., prices for the three-row Cadillac crossover SUV start at $53,690 USD with FWD. AWD will be optional for an undisclosed extra amount. The XT6 Sport comes with AWD standard and will cost $58,090 USD.
Comments
Sadly no FWD XT6 will be offered in Canada. Only AWD.
FWD is only available on the very base trim in Canada on the XT5, not the Luxury, Premium Luxury or Platinum trims. If they decide to offer a XT6 in Luxury trim perhaps that will have FWD as an option.
Do you get two for $60k? I’m seeing a solid $30k SUV in those pics.
You can just wait 2 years and buy it for 30K. That said, the smart money on buying an Acadia as it will be largely the same vehicle without the extra fancy added in.
Acadia is about 6″ shorter I think. So with the XT6 you do gain some additional storage and people room. Worth considering if you are looking at either an Enclave or an Acadia Denali. The prices are not too far off from each.
That’s $46k in USD –
not knowing how the provincial and national tax rates affect that.
But the Loonie is worth -33% vs the USD.
Doesn’t sound like the margins up north are what they are in the US.
It’s closer to 0.75 CAD to the USD, so -25%
Compared to the Lincoln Aviator, it’s biggets competitor it is aimed squarely at, the XT6 is miles ahead. For some reason Lincoln is stuck in that 1950’s push button shifter nobbies. The XT6 has V6 grunt as well. Ford is still trying to get big engine grunt out of four bangers, and it doesn’t work. XT5 or XT6 are clearly on my radar, in AWD. AWD is Canadian eh. We get snow. Every year.
I have to respectfully disagree. The XT6 has a 310 HP engine, the Aviator is 400 HP. No comparison there. I think the push button shifter is interesting, unlike the usual one that Cadillac has carried forward from the 90’s (although who really cares about the shifter). The Lincoln’s exterior styling looks amazing as well; to me it resembles a range rover. The Caddy looks fine, but it’s forgettable. I have not seen either vehicle in person, so we’ll see how the pictures translate in real life… but I will certainly check out the Lincoln first.
There is no replacement for displacement when it comes to grunt….. 400HP turbo, is not the same as 310 HP Direct Injection when real work like towing, has to be done. I’ve driven turbo’s that are great at high rev’s but blahhh when it comes to any real work.
