The GM Authority Take
The ongoing growth in Cadillac XT4 sales is welcome news. The fact that the GM luxury brand entered a highly-competitive segment and now occupies one of the leading spots shows that consumers are embracing the new product. By comparison, the RDX, NX, Q3, GLA-Class and X1 have long-established positions in the segment, along with the advantage of significantly higher awareness, having gone through at least one generational change-over in the U.S.
Going forward, we expect XT4 sales volume to continue increasing as the 2019 calendar year progresses, as availability and market awareness improves compared with the first half of 2019. In addition, XT4 sales should increase globally as other markets – notably South Korea, Russia, and Europe – see their regional launches of the small luxury crossover SUV. Most recently, Cadillac announced that it will introduce the XT4 in Europe with an all-new, market-specific turbo-diesel engine.

Comments
I wonder what the Lincoln Corsair will do, going forward. Cadillac must just add a more powerful Halo model to keep buyers interested.
Cadillac must bring the electric XT4 to market now because the imports will offer their electric models soon.
The more I see the XT4, the more I’m liking it. The more I’m seeing the XT6, I’m loving it! I already feel the XT5 is very nice and although the Escalade is not for me, it’s still a great vehicle and will hopefully only get much better with the new model coming out soon. Bottom line, its seems Cadillac has a winning line of SUV’s available.
As for the Corsair, I do think it will be a great success for Lincoln along with the Aviator, Nautilus and Navigator. Both great brands going strong in the hottest market we have.
As an XT4 owner, there are a few nagging issues with the vehicle which you just don’t expect from a luxury brand. Some are minor, but annoying, such as people’s names changing in the Profiles for the infotainment system (my wife’s profile always defaults back to my name every few days). Others just seem like oversights by Cadillac. For example, the’s no way to set a preference for the vehicle to default to AWD mode. When you live in Michigan, there will be periods of time where we are clicking the AWD mode a dozen times each day. Same thing with the Auto Start/Stop mode which must be disabled every time you start the vehicle.
Overall, it’s a great vehicle, and very comfortable.
@Mike Did you set it back to factory reset for the infotainment screen?
Nothing exciting about X’s, sure very comfortable , so is my chair at home. Lots of GM suv/mini wagons to choose from, maybe to many? Just my opinion. ?
Is your chair the XT0?
I drove a 2019 XT4 a few days and enjoyed it a lot.
I am planning to buy a 2020 XT4. Luxury SUV for
the smaller person. I am a 5’2″ 71 yo woman. This
is a good car for me. You big men have other cars
to drive. Don’t complain.
I do hope the 2020 has good cup holders.
