A new appearance package has recently been introduced for both FWD and AWD versions of the 2021 Cadillac XT4, allowing buyers to enhance the looks of the GM luxury brand’s smallest crossover. Called the Onyx Sport Package (RPO code PDT), it’s available on Luxury and Premium Luxury trim levels, and includes the following items:
- 20-inch split seven-spoke Gloss Black wheels (SKW)
- 20-inch P245/45R all-season tires (ZD9)
- Black surround grille with Black mesh (RZ9)
- Monochrome Cadillac emblems (SFZ)
For the benefit of Cadillac XT4 enthusiasts who think the whole package would be a step too far, all of the above are also available as standalone LPO (dealer-installed) options.
The 20-inch split seven-spoke Gloss Black wheels replace 18-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels with Bright Silver finish on the entry-level Cadillac XT4 Luxury and 18-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels with Pearl Nickel finish on the Luxury Premium. Both vehicles are fitted as standard with P235/60R18 all-season tires.
In each case, the Onyx Sport Package costs $2,595. If the items were ordered separately, the wheels and tires would cost $1,995, the grille $550 and the monochrome emblems $175, making a total of $2,720. The package therefore provides a small financial saving of $125, plus a time saving of a few seconds which would otherwise be spent clicking extra buttons on the configurator.
The Onyx Sport Package is not offered on the range-topping Cadillac XT4 Sport, though the individual items can be ordered separately for that vehicle at the prices mentioned above.
The Cadillac XT4 is now in the third model year of its first generation. Changes for 2021 included the addition of Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto, and standard availability of a power liftgate for all trim levels.

Last week, I needed to leave my new CT4 at the dealer to fix an issue and they gave me a 2021 XT4 Sport as a loaner. It was that funky blue and I really didn’t care for it (car and color). I was really happy to get the CT4 back. It’s not that the XT4 wasn’t nice, but it’s just not as nice to drive as my car. However, I kind of wonder how much of that was more about the look and color. My CT4 is the perfect color and looks so nice, yet the blue “wave metallic” didn’t do anything for me on the XT4. On top of that, I still think the XT4 has way too much ugly black plastic all over the bottom and around the wheels. I’ve commented on this before and really feel a luxury brand like Cadillac should not use that. And for some reason, the XT4 just felt so much bigger than my CT4. I could get used to that and think if the XT4 was in a better color without the ugly black plastic, I would like it more. Apparently this Onyx package only adds more black instead of painted surfaces. Too bad.
I agree. The plastic cladding screams cheap entry level vehicle. It should not be on a Cadillac.
i can’t wait to hear about buick conquest sales when people ditch their xt4s for the less expensive and better looking buick envision.
I have the 20′ XT4 in the dark metallic blue premium luxury awd. Bought it for my wife, she loves it. She chose that colour specifically. As for the lower plastic trim, it’s actually there for a purpose. Canadian markets use salt on the roads for snow/ice control. The plastic on the very bottom and wheel well liners is for rust prevention due to excessive salt accumulation. You primarily find this on trucks and SUV’s, as cars are less commonly driven during the winter. I’m sure consumers in the lower states would prefer all metal where winter isn’t an issue, or sand is used as an alternative. To build 2 variants for differing climates would be cost prohibitive let alone the delivery logistics according to region. I too have a 21′ CT4 awd premium luxury with the 2.7. Love it.
Jason: I too grew up in the rust-belt part, but in America. Yes, the roads were always white with salt and brine all winter long. Although you have a point, the ugly black plastic really doesn’t do much against the rust and salt. It obviously keeps the lower part of the wheel opening from being able to rust, but that salt/brine gets into every spot on the cars. Most cars today don’t have thick insulation under the hoods like the old cars had, but we would see cars only 3 and 4 years old with the insulation crusted with white (salt). So yes, it helps but is certainly not a good reason to place it all over the luxury brands. Leave that for Jeep and other lower brands if they wish.
Congrats on the CT4. So far I love my 2020.
