First dropping in for the 2019 model year, the Cadillac XT4 is Caddy’s smallest crossover model, kicking off the XT line with sharp styling, seating for five, and compact exterior dimensions. Now, we’re taking a closer look at the XT4 with the following GM Authority Complete Photo Gallery.
This particular model is a 2019 Cadillac XT4 Sport covered in Twilight Blue Metallic paint. Twilight Blue Metallic is an optional hue offered at extra cost, and it looks great with the complementary dark trim bits equipped with the Sport trim level. The Sport trim also comes with a unique grille treatment, body-colored door handles, clear tail lamps, and black roof rails. By contrast, the Luxury trim and Premium trim get bright Galvano trim pieces, chrome door handles, satin aluminum roof rails, red-tinted tail lamps, and a bright accent grille.
This particular 2019 Cadillac XT4 is also equipped with 20-inch RQ9 Twin five-spoke alloy wheels with Diamond Cut/Titan Satin finish wheels. The rollers are only included with the Sport Dynamics Preferred Package, which also tosses in F45 Active Sport Suspension.
The U.S.-spec 2019 XT4 is powered exclusively by the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder LSY gas engine. Output is rated at 237 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 258 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm. Overseas, the European-spec XT4 mounts the all-new turbodiesel 2.0L inline four-cylinder LSQ, with output rated at 170 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. As we covered previously, there is currently no V6 engine planned for the XT4.
The GM nine-speed automatic transmission is on deck for cog swaps, while both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive work to put the power down.
Looking ahead, the Cadillac XT4 is expected to offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Around Auto with either the 2021i (2021 interim) or 2022 model year. Unfortunately, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the rollout of 2021 model year vehicles, including the XT4.

I think the XT4 looks fantastic. Definitely one of GM’s best designs currently.
It is a good looking vehicle, but why does it and the XT5 have unpainted plastic panels at the bottom. I can understand it on a Chevy, like the Equinox, but to me it seems cheap looking on a Cadillac.
I agree 100%. Even on the Chevy Premier only they could have upped their game as well
After taking a hard look and multiple test drives of the Cadillac XT4 vs the Equinox Premier, we chose the Premier… more horsepower, same ride/ interior sound level, cleaner looks and a loaded Premier was $16,000 less expensive. To each his or her own but Chevy hit this one outa the ballpark!
I like the exterior design of the X T4 but somehow the interior leaves me wanting for a more upscale approach. The choice of dash materials did not particularly impress me and the arrangement of the radio, temperature control, etc buttons all crammed beneath the screen looked like a tight fit.
The layout of the controls is downright perfect. It’s this way with all new Cadillac models and it works really well. There is nothing “crammed”.
Just won’t consider it without more power options. The 2.7T or the 335 hp version of the 3.6 V-6 would be a start. The twin turbo 3.0 V-6 would be even better.
Looks great! Still and will always be woefully uncompetitive without a full redesign and 20 cubic feet more of seats-down cargo space and lots more passenger space…and oh yeah, a rearmost quarter window for visibility and basic sense!
