Cadillac XT4-V Performance Crossover Rendered

Earlier this year, we brought you images that were sent to us which purported to show the Cadillac XT4-V performance crossover ahead of its alleged debut. We had no way of confirming those shots were real, although they did leave us scratching our heads, as there were some legit-looking parts on the vehicle in question such as carbon trim, V-Series badging and a dual twin-tip exhaust setup.

Now GM Authority’s sister site Cadillac Society is happy to bring you some digital renderings of the rumored Cadillac XT4-V ahead of its debut. These may not be official, but the rendered vehicle features some parts that are similar to the vehicle seen in the leak – namely the exhaust tips and V-Series badging. Our rendering also features V-Series wheels, which would likely be hiding some large performance brakes if this were a real vehicle.

The leaked images also showed some glossy carbon fiber trim on the rear hatch and rear bumper of the XT4 in question, along with a “2.7T” badge. The badge seems to suggest that the XT4-V will arrive packing a version of General Motors‘ turbocharged 2.7-liter L3B four-cylinder engine, although we have no way to confirm this. It’s not far-fetched, though, seeing as this engine also powers the upcoming 2020 Cadillac CT4-V. In that application, the 2.7-liter motor makes 320 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

Cadillac CEO Steve Carlisle recently confirmed that the automaker has some performance crossovers and SUVs on the table, so we should begin to see the first V-Series crossover/SUV shortly. In addition to the Cadillac XT4-V, Cadillac is also rumored to be working on a high-performance version of the next-generation Cadillac Escalade.

  1. Make this happen, GM! We need some pep in our step. The GM faithful enjoy performance niche vehicles too.

    1. Do a Chevy Blazer SS also.

  2. The 2.7T has been used up to date in longitudinally mounted platforms (Including the CT4) while the XT4 uses a transverse mounted engine. Not saying it’s impossible, but might not be as easy to put into the XT4 as it appears.

    1. From what I know thus far, the L3B was developed from the onset to be used in either longitudinal or transverse configurations… much like the LGX, LTG and LSY.

      1. Wonderful, can I get a lower rev V6 with more power and not a whinny 4 banger,

  3. This is a great idea! They need to make sure not to do it half-assed, but the renderings look great. Hopefully they can raid the CT4V’s parts bin for better seats and some Alcantra on the wheel.

  5. I would love to see this happen.

    I would rather see a RWD/ AWD version of this, but we will wait and see.

    And in my opinion,

    Cadillac should just use the 2.7 as their standard base engine.

    If Cadillac is a step up for GM then it should be a step up.

    I still can’t believe this 2.7T cant out preform the 3.6 – V6 in every test.

    We guess I’ll have to wait to see that also, to get one in a midsized vehicle.
