2021 Cadillac XT6 Gets Slightly Improved Fuel Economy Numbers

The 2021 Cadillac XT6 has received slightly improved fuel economy numbers from the Environmental Protection Agency.

When equipped with the naturally aspirated 3.6L LGX V6 engine and front-wheel-drive, the 2021 Cadillac XT6 has EPA estimated fuel economy ratings of 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. With all-wheel-drive equipped, those figures fall by a point to 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, while the combined rating stays flat at 21 mpg.

The 2020 Cadillac XT6, by comparison, was rated at 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined when equipped with the 3.6L LGX V6 engine and FWD. Vehicles equipped with the V6 engine and AWD, meanwhile, were rated at 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined.

It’s worth noting that General Motors has not made any changes or revisions to the 2021 Cadillac XT6 to make it more efficient. Instead, the EPA has revised its fuel economy ratings for the crossover, resulting in slightly improved numbers.

The 2021 Cadillac XT6 comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0L LSY I4 engine, however this entry-level engine was not offered on the 2020 model year XT6, so the year-over-year fuel efficiency changes only apply to V6 models. The 2.0L engine produces 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and comes paired with the GM nine-speed automatic transmission. The turbo four is the more efficient engine option in the crossover, carrying a fuel economy rating of 23 mpg combined with both FWD and AWD.

Pricing for the 2021 Cadillac XT6 starts at $48,990 including destination for the Luxury trim level with the 2.0L LSY engine and FWD. Production takes place at the GM Spring Hill Assembly plant in Tennessee.
