General Motors has announced pricing for the 2020 Cadillac XT6 crossover, which it will begin accepting orders for later this month.
The prices will start at $53,690 for the 2020 Cadillac XT6 Premium Luxury FWD including destination, while the XT6 Sport will start at $58,090 including destination.
Powering all versions of the Cadillac XT6 will be GM’s 310 hp 3.6-liter V6 engine, which has active fuel management and start/stop. The entry-level model comes with standard FWD, with AWD available at extra cost, while the XT6 Sport has GM’s Sport Control AWD system as standard.
Two options packages are available for the crossover: an Enhanced Visibility and Technology Package and a Driver Assist Package. The Enhanced Visibility and Technology Package adds an 8-inch-digital gauge cluster display, a color head-up display, a rear camera mirror, a rear camera mirror washer, rear pedestrian alert and automatic parking assist with braking. The Driver Assist package adds semi-autonomous features like adaptive cruise control and enhanced automatic emergency braking, along with seatbelt pre-tensioners. A Night Vision system is offered as well.
Standard equipment includes LED headlamps, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, 20-inch wheels, an UltraView power sunroof with a power sunshade, a power-folding third row, a center display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, GM’s 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, a wireless charging pad and a ton of drive assist/safety features including forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert and lane change alert.
“With its host of standard features and two expressions of the signature Cadillac experience, XT6 will offer customers a high level of content with choices for style and driving character,” Cadillac president Steve Carlisle said in a prepared statement.
GM says the 2020 Cadillac XT6 will be available to order later this month. Deliveries and dealer sales are expected to begin by mid-2019. Cadillac is allowing prospective customers to sign up for updates on the vehicle through its website as well.

Dare Greatly!
Lol
Sarcasm at it’s best!
That is the price of a Chevy Blazer RS!!!
Why the heck would you buy a plasticky, down-market Blazer when you could have a luxurious Cadillac like this?!?!?!
…but what if it is a RED Blazer?
Lol
There the same vehicle !!
The Blazer GM vehicle has a Chevrolet “Badge” and Chevrolet design.
The XT6 GM vehicle has a Cadillac “Badge” and Cadillac design.
Its what you like, but the SAME THING. ” GM “
Yeah not yet, and I only got 48,500 on the same equipped Blazer. So for that 5 grand you will get a third seat, maybe.
I prefer the Blazer Dash design over the Cadillac, but that’s subjective so.
Plus I won’t buy either anyway so just opinion.
There supposedly is a 3-row Blazer on the way.
I love Cadillac. But that’s $2000 more than an Aviator with RWD and a twin turbo V6. Come on guys, we are all rooting for you. But this is just silly.
Yes, agree.
GM doesn’t have the leadership it needs. Keeps making dumb decisions. Then tries to send everything to China or Mexico when it screws up.
At least this model is still made in the USA.
Half the clientele for Mom-mobiles is afraid of 400 hp.
At this price level, a few thousand dollars isn’t nearly as important as how much they like the car. I suspect this will appeal to more women than the Lincoln.
I think your mistaken on the woman afraid of the HP.
That’s a really good point. I’ve talked to some of my buddies and they said their wives would never buy a RWD family suv (aka Explorer and Aviator). I still believe that the price is too high on the XT6, though.
What about the wives that drive BMW’s and Mercedes Benz SUV’s? Maybe they don’t know any better.
Would never drive a RWD SUV ?
Do you know how many women drive :
Expedition
Navigator
Suburban
Yukon
Tahoe
Escalade
ALOT !!
All RWD and a lot more HP and Torque
That’s what Cadillac is banking on.
Their interview with Autoblog said the target customer is the “woman who’s the CEO of everything”.
I should add sane parents don’t want their teenagers on the loose with 400 hp, either.
OTOH, my own parents sent us to HS in a ’56 Olds Rocket 88 motorboat with iffy brakes. They did add seatbelts first.
Why is it silly? Cadillac will sell every single one of them, no doubt. People on here seem to forget that this vehicle starts as Premium Luxury and skipped over Luxury as their base vehicle. IMO, it offers the better, if not the best value over the competition with enough features that is optional on the Luxury trims across the Cadillac line-up. What unique features does the Aviator have standard at $52K that make the XT6 look silly? Allot of the unique features that the Aviator has is not standard and will cost to get those features. Cadillac has equity in the name while Lincoln does not. Cadillac can afford to charge more and price the vehicles they see fit. This vehicle does not represent the car enthusiasts and represent the target audience who will be more than content with the vehicle. Funny how Lincoln Navigator is so much better than the Escalade to the Ford lifers and haters but Lincoln lifers and the haters represent a small demographic that does not represent the sales volume of the Escalade. Also, the engineer who engineered the XT6 also engineered the CTS-V. So, I have reason to believe the XT6 will be an amazing drive.
I love that comment ” Cadillac has equity in their name “.
Do they ?
Anymore ?
And ” Cadillac can afford to charge more and price the vehicles as they see fit ”
Can they ?
Anymore ?
Sure the Competition is FWD and FWD/AWD. But the top offers more HP and Torque.
Just saw 2 Audi Q7 this morning getting coffee, both 3.0T, not the 2.0T.
When I talk Cadillac in a room nobody even cares anymore, its like I drive junk, its like Cadillac is a joke in the conversation.
We shall see but I surely don’t get where you think Cadillac can afford to do anything. Nothing Cadillac has done of late gives me the impression that Cadillac has any capital left to spend.
Until Cadillac at least gives the public another engine choice and improves on the hard, shinny, crappy, plastic in the interior, it will not be in the choice for us any longer.
Good luck Cadillac
Hope to see something great someday.
Get your ATS fix then and stop complaining to people about it on every post you submit on these forums. Have you got your CUE fix yet? How’s your Audi A4 treating you?
Again, I expect that comment coming from someone scorned by a product he still owns.
Like it or not, Cadillac continues to sell more than any Lincoln can throw at it. Lincoln can have 5 CUVs/SUVs and they still get outsold by one Cadillac SUV/CUV more than 75%, if not 100% at times.
People on here seems to know all the answers but had not seen the XT6 in person. Deja Vu all over again.
Again, to the general public, Cadillac has more equity and cache’ than any Lincoln can muster. I’m not throwing salt on Lincoln and do wish them success but there is still room for them to grow, if not more so than Cadillac.
The XT4 is number one in the segment right now in sales volume. How many automakers can make such a claim on a brand new luxury vehicle competing in a crowded segment for the first time? The XTS is number one selling vehicle in its segment same as the Escalade. And Cadillac is losing its appeal? O.K., whatever.
Thanks Johnls_39 !!
Had to bring that up !!
Our ATS has always been fixed in less than a week after the troubles, on our dime.
But thanks for bringing that up again, you must like hearing about it so.
It’s still the worst Cadillac I’ve owned out of six, in case you didn’t remember.
Were not buying an A4 until the CT5 is released so there is that, if you truly read what I post.
I have not said one thing about the ATS for well over a month for sure as we were out of the country for over 2 weeks.
The ATS only has 50,500 miles so unless GM/Cadillac cancels the CT5, the ATS should at least last that long. We are up to 5 Customer satisfaction letters from GM however ,so just waiting for more stuff to fail.
What a great Cadillac !!
Now to the new stuff. I am well aware of the old sales numbers, and do relies Cadillac out sells Lincoln by a wide margin, shrinking though, right ?
I am not a Ford lover and will never own one, so there is that. That’s my sister and her husband.
I think they are up to eight now, so they seem to have good luck, three Lincolns.
I am not comparing Cadillac to Lincoln, never was. Maybe Audi or Mercedes.
But so far NO COMRARISON.
Sure the new 2.0T 9 speed is ALOT smoother than our POS ATS 2.0T, but not better than the Audi or the Volvo with the 2.0T we have driven.
And how do you know the XT4 is number one in its segment ?
I thought GM only released its sales numbers every quarter.
Or just more Talking with zero facts or sense of reality.
What the h**l segments are these things in now anyway ?
Competing with Chevrolet ?
The interior of that XT4 doesn’t even come close to the Audi or the Volvo so even if it had more HP we would have to think twice.
Would still probably get the Cadillac, but would think twice. However not the 2.0T
Buy the way, I am a GM/Cadillac guy, so I wish them all the best and hope they once again will be the.
Standard Of The World !!
Also I never claimed to have all the answers, but neither does GM, or you for that madder.
One more time, all I am doing is giving my personal experiences, and my opinion.
If it bothers you that much, give it a thumbs down and move on.
Don’t let the truth bother you so much, no one else does.
Long live Cadillac.
So whatever.
you’re clearly clueless… everyone here wants Cadillac to be #1 and we’re all EXTREMELY disappointed with these marginal products. Audi’s have been historically known to have superb interiors whereas Cadillacs are GM parts bin ++. My 2003 A6 had a stunning interior for the day and its still better than this XT?. The XTS is one car that sells well, I like it alot, but thats one car GM is killing…. hmmm…. sells well so lets kill it vs make it even better? GM is lost and sr mgt are morons…
FWD seems to be working fine for Audi, and the Q7 comes standard with a 2.0T. No one cares if it is FWD or RWD.
Agreed, but the Audi has another engine choice.
I would love to know in the US what the sales numbers are on the 3.0T and the 2.0T
Quattro is standard on the Audi Q7. It doesn’t, and hasn’t EVER come with FWD, let alone transverse FWD like the more expensive XT6.
“No one cares if it’s FWD or RWD.”
Where did you even get this idea?
All of the safety stuff ought to be standard.
I hope there’s a sunroof delete option, or maybe they’ll add a Luxury model without it for 2021.
$4.5k more for the Sport seems high for different trim, AWD, and adaptive suspension.
“a rear camera mirror, a rear camera mirror washer”
Shouldn’t that be “rear mirror camera washer?” It isn’t washing the mirror. /pedant
Doesn’t the Audi Q7 start in the 50s as well? Geez. I would pick the Audi.
It’s April’s Fools Day at Cadillac..

The Car and Driver review is devastating. In an era when all cars are praised and even formerly joked about brands like Hyundai and Kia achieve excellence, such a brutal review stings both for its rarity and its undeniable truth. The XT6 is a joke; it’s a hastily put together overpriced Chevy rebody. They didn’t even have time to create an interior for it and went straight to the parts bin. It deserves the criticism. As some have said, we now know why Johan left.
I agree 100%. Like I have posted on here many times. It wont have the performance of the Europeans. And from the pictures we see of the interior and overall build quality – it wont match the Japanese.
It doesn’t have the performance of the Germans (or other Americans [FCA is on the way with the next-generation Grand Cherokee, which will offer a 3-row variant AND you can bet on a Trackhawk]).
It won’t have the reputation for quality, reliability, and attention to detail of the Japanese.
It doesn’t even undercut the competition (it can’t, because Buick and GMC belong in this segment, and are already here).
All it has is technology, which comes at the expense of other GM divisions, lest they render Cadillac pointless.
Serious mistakes were made.
I completely understand why DeNysschen left.
100%
I don’t. If he didn’t like the way this car was developed and how it turned out, he should have quit years earlier. As far as I’m concerned, it’s his baby and it’s a lot more important to Cadillac’s future than the sports sedans.
Come to think of it, I thought he was fired.
Was he ?
Do you know something the rest of us don’t ?
I’m guessing stepped out do to differences and still got paid what was coming to him as long as he is quite.
You know the ” non-disclosure agreement ”
He was simply above this Cadillac junk, you could tell it in his style and speech.
Even the ” Dare Greatly ” would have worked, if he was allowed to do it.
I’m guessing we will know someday, just not the recent future.
Just to be clear. I personally didn’t care much for him. But I personally even care just a little less for the life long yes man they have commenting for GM on Cadillacs behalf today.
Agree, except for ‘Dare Greatly’.
At least, when they unveiled it – there was nothing ‘great’ yet …
Had they cranked out an Elmiraj or Ciel, statement vehicles, I’d buy daring greatly.
Otherwise, it was an Uwe/Melody effort. Uninspired.
Agree,
The Dare Greatly would only work if he were allowed to Dare Greatly.
And again with GM it was so easy to ” talk “, so we got Dare Greatly.
And again with GM it is so ” impossible to deliver ” anything great so we got and continue to get BLAH.
Uwe was one of the main reasons why I don’t think Cadillac’s CUV portfolio turned out the way DeNysschen planned.
While at Cadillac, JDN mocked Infiniti leadership for being more concerned with driver’s assistance than making driver’s cars.
Ellinghaus was a STAUNCH RWD/AWD advocate. On Jalopnik’s AMA, “Over my dead body” was his answer to the question of whether the CT4 would be FWD.
He was the one who instigated and oversaw the entire vehicle program!
Did he ?
You seem to know a lot about it.
Knowing his past employment and what they produced, the FACT that he wanted to separate Cadillac more from GM, The fact he left ( for whatever reason ) before it was released.
Really you think this interior and engine choice is his.
Really ?
The ” entire ” vehicle program ?
Kind of hard to believe do to the FACT he was gone before it was completed.
I would like to know how you can oversee something in its entirety and leave half way through ?
Sure the ” look ” might have been his. Moving towards the Escala look. But the look is subjective.
We do know one thing for sure. Cadillac was confused and conflicted in this period of XT4 and XT6 nothing speaks ” consistent improvement “, But Cadillac has been confused and conflicted now for about 8.5 years now. So now the only thing Cadillac can say is ” we meant to do the inconsistent message here ” its all part of the plan.
“leave half way through”
It takes 3 years at least to get a vehicle from bright (or not) idea to production, even one off an existing platform. There could only have been minor changes after he left last Spring.
You know this for sure ?
Did you work on this project ?
Were you in the room ?
You do know this is mostly GM parts right ?
What takes 3 years I would like to know the nitty gritty ?
GM engine – already done.
GM drivetrain – already done.
Interior – old carryover – already done
GM, GM, GM, – with different stamps, headlights, plastic molds.
But I’m sure you are right, he left because he got everything he wanted and was happy with the program.
Still sounds fishy , he got everything he wanted, and still doesn’t work there anymore.
Are you sure ?
He oversaw the ENTIRE program ?
Learn something about the auto industry.
XT6 spied hours after JdN ousted.
From WHO ?
Thank you Ralph !!!!
I “know” that the XT6 was begun soon after he arrived at Cadillac.
“Really you think this interior and engine choice is his.
Really ?”
I’m sure he would have chosen mink carpet and a V16 if he could have. By the way do know that the V6 is going to be the only engine offering on the XT6?
“I would like to know how you can oversee something in its entirety and leave half way through ?”
What are you talking about ???? “Half way through?”
“Kind of hard to believe do to the FACT he was gone before it was completed.”
The XT6, like any production vehicle, is frozen 20-24 months BEFORE the first units come off the line. Tooling of parts and supplier contracts all take at least that much time after all design work is done. The XT6 was completed LONG BEFORE JDN left.
You guys are so funny though.
I’m sure ALL the blame should go to this one man !!
And for your information, again if you truly read what I post, I was in the auto component industry for 15 years.
I have been to mold makers, die makers, injection molding facilities, spray coating facilities, multiple test tracks and facilities, instrumented vehicles with data acquisition equipment, was a member of an SAE team to set standards for a product, been through black belt training, ISO training, QS training, sat in many meeting with design people, engineering people, sales teams, CFO,s, managers, have been through recall campaigns, have been in a deposition with attorneys, and have flown the country with business owners in their private jets.
So we can get that out of the way again.
Now back to this ” NEW ” GM vehicle, I mean Cadillac vehicle.
What I am saying is just what most people in the industry know about product development.
Like you said ” he would have chosen mink carpet and a v-16.
So like Lutz said, its a mix between designers and engineers put together with management and the money guys.
NOT ONE GUY OR GAL.
In the end is it a good product ?
Well if it sells enough to make money, OK.
But what segment does it belong in ?
Luxury or just another GM SUV ?
Sales will determine this, NOT the company.
If this or any other NEW Cadillac bring buyers from ” the true luxury brands ” it will be a luxury product.
But if sales come from Buick, GMC, or even Cadillac itself, ( basically GM ) it truly doesn’t belong in luxury.
Just because GM wants to up charge a product to luxury does not put it in that ” segment “.
So I will give you that I shouldn’t have said ” half way through ” But I doubt you will give me that this ” entire ” vehicle belongs to him, because it does not.
This vehicle belongs to a ” GM team “, and lately hear it seems like there are a lot of people who think the ” GM team ” who is responsible for some of the NEW GM stuff just went to CHEAP – Blah – Average – Just Good Enough.
And not just Cadillac.
OK
If GM wants the Cheap – Blah – Average – Just Good Enough, stuff.
GM can’t charge for ” segment ” leading stuff. ( well I guess they can charge it but CUSTOMERS don’t have to pay it ).
And so we get discounts, % off , blah, blah, blah, just to make the CUSTOMER think they got a good deal.
Well that might work as long as the CUSTOMER doesn’t compare the vehicle to any other vehicle in the same price range.
Because at this point all your selling is loyalty, NOT a better or even equal product.
Long live Cadillac
This car is just horrible. Just horrible. Does not even have fully digital dash. Dated, boring and horrible.
Cadillac deserves to die.
Cadillac doesn’t deserve to die.
However, I’d love nothing more than to see the Lincoln Aviator send GM back to the drawing board to make VSS-R suitable for CUV duty.
I believe that there are plans for the XT7/XT8 models coming. I’m sure Cadillac is looking at Lincoln but they are not worried since they have a slew of products coming. Also the Aviator is not the XT6’s competitor.
Yep everyone on the planet earth has heard Cadillac is going to release a slew of products.
It’s going to be an onslaught, I bet.
A NEW product every six months I heard.
So far we got a GM/Cadillac XT4.
And a GM/Cadillac XT6
Both GM ” standard ” rebadged.
Lets take a guess.
Next a ATS I mean a CT4 all NEW GM/Cadillac. Hmmmmm, I wonder if it will get the GM 2.0T – 9 speed or the GM 3.6 – 9 speed ?
Next a CTS I mean a CT5 all NEW GM/Cadillac. Hmmmmmm, I wonder if it will get the GM 2.0T – 9 speed or the GM 3.6 – 9 speed ?
I wonder if it will get the XT4 dash or the XT5 dash ?
I wonder if we will get standard safety features or have to option them in.
Also I was thinking on this XT6 not having a base option. I’m not sure who the brilliant mind was behind this marketing but you do know the lowest offering of literally anything is the BASE.
I don’t care what great name GM wants to attach to it the $53,690 is for the BASE XT6.
Bring on the great new Cadillacs
I can’t wait.
Long live Cadillac.
I also read the Car&Driver article which is extremely hard on the interior. GM says they’re rebuilding Cadillac but C&D doesn’t even call it a luxury car… the interior is trash… literally? https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a25861430/2020-cadillac-xt6-three-row-photos-info They say its a terrible “value” something GM knows zero about.
Some have said “ohh but the packaging”… Cadillac is about luxury not packaging… its more expensive than the base Lincoln Aviator… this car stinks but its not Cadillac its GM Senior leadership… this is really disappointing as I’m sure we all want Cadillac to be the force it once was. These fools are killing it in front of us and will then blame the brand and customers for their incompetence..
I strongly disagree with a lot of criticism that has been made about the XT6. For a vehicle that I believe will be priced between 53 and 70 grand I think Cadillac has done enough to be competitive. And if you really think that C&D say the Q7 and MDX are worlds better I’d need to refresh your memory; they are equally mundane, and minimalistic. I would added the Aviator too, if you really look at it it’s just bright chrome accents. Ok sure it’s FWD, so is the QX60, MDX, RXL. Sure Cadillac could have built a 400 hp RWD 3-row, but they weren’t after that, they went after the heart of the market. Look at Enclave, QX60, RXL, MDX sales to get a clue. And for the price they are coming in at the standard equipment will be equal or even high than some rivals. I know go ahead disagree with me.
Look at the QX60, RX/RXL, MDX average transaction prices. Do you seriously think anyone is paying over $65k for those?
Look at consumer opinion on those vehicles. I think we’re all aware people want to drive a BMW, Benz, Audi, or Porsche. CUV or not.
Can anybody here picture someone getting excited over a MDX or RX?
Go ahead. Close your eyes and visualize yourself saying it:
“How ’bout that new QX60? I can’t wait to get the new one.”
Sounds ridiculous right? Cadillac chose to enter a brand new CUV into those spaces.
And the Enclave? Whose sales this might cannibalize?
Most people could care less about getting excited about a vehicle, most care about reliability and brand cache. Of course you have those that care about Teutonic luxury brands, but the QX60, MDX and even the XT5 sold between 50 and 60k units equal to and greater than X5 & X6 GLE-Class, and Q7 last year in the US. So what’s your point? IMO did Cadillac go far enough, no. But there are a lot of things they did right that go far beyond people complaining about FWD, the silhouette, and interior.
I just love it.
Most people care about reliability and brand cache.
Just so you don’t forget Cadillac has been at the bottom or near it in reliability, CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, and CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, now for as long as I can remember.
So that one is out.
Now how about that cache !!
This is a weird use of the word to start with but here it goes.
I guess it would depend on who you are around.
If you are around the OLD Cadillac owners it does have cache, but only the old cars.
You don’t see the newer cars being fixed and tricked, just the good old ones.
And if you are in a room of luxury vehicle owners.
The only exception is the Escalade.
The rest of the Cadillac lineup most luxury owners think are a joke.
Just so you know though, the CT6 with that V-8 is gaining traction.
Hope GM can figure out not to kill it again.
That is unless it will be replaced with the Escala, Ha that was a joke, I’m guessing GM will run out of capital long before Cadillac was allowed to do that.
Please list the things you think Cadillac has done right on this vehicle.
The things that ” set it apart ”
There are ALOT of people who would like to know what they are.
Because there seem to be a lot of us that think it is barely equal to the competition.
First and foremost fact check customer satisfaction because the articles I’ve been looking at DONT place them at the bottom. Second the average age of a Cadillac buyer has fallen significantly. I guarantee the average age of a Mercedes Benz buyer or a Lexus buyer, or a BMW buyer would be within a 5 year range. Third I never said the XT6 was class leading. There are plenty of things that GM should have done, but with it’s current core competitive set, which to me are Q7, QX60, RXL, MDX, Cadillac has plenty of standard equipment. Not to mention, super cruise is still being developed specifically for this when no other automaker has gone as far as Cadillac to develop such a system for each individual product. For the price between 50 and 70k Cadillac has plenty of room to offer more, but keep in mind that an X5, GLE, and the Aviator won’t be as equally equipped for the same money and you will actually end up paying more for the features you want.
“Not to mention, super cruise is still being developed specifically for this when no other automaker has gone as far as Cadillac to develop such a system for each individual product.”
Incorrect. Audi reached Level 3 automation with Traffic Jam Assist on the A8. Cadillac SuperCruise is at Level 2.
If you don’t think Traffic Jam Assist is going to make it to Audi’s other models, you’ve got another thing coming.
GM now has a consistent plan; develop mediocre, mid-pack vehicles and price them as if they were the best, most premium and class-leading products you could buy. It’s allllll about profit per unit. GM can measure that on their spreadsheets. They can’t measure how many people they are turning away with their narrow-minded strategy.
That’s cheaper than a 2019 XT5 Premium Luxury FWD….I think a lot of people are getting hung up on the fact that this starting price is for a mid-level model, not a base model as the XT6 currently doesn’t have a base (Luxury) model.
Live to dream.. a detuned 500 horsepower variant of the Blackwing Twin-Turbo 4.2L DOHC-4v V8 to haul the XT6 and with a 600 on the rear to signify the 600+ lbs-ft of torque that the Blackwing generates.
