The premium/luxury three-row crossover segment (lux crossover E-segment) contracted nearly 1 percent to 105,232 units in Q4 2020, meaning that Cadillac XT6 sales were in line with the segment average.
For the sake of presenting a more complete picture of the competitive landscape, we are providing sales figures for the Lexus RX below. Though the RX is a premium midsize CUV slotting into the luxury utility D segment (along with the Cadillac XT5), the Japanese vehicle is now offered in a three-row variant called RXL, which competes with the three-row luxury models mentioned above. Since Lexus does not break out sales of the two-row RX from the three-row RXL, not all RX sales can be applied to the premium three-row CUV segment. Instead, a more apt comparison would be to bundle Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 sales. We’re also including the Lincoln Nautilus and Aviator, which are direct XT5 and XT6 rivals, respectively.

The GM Authority Take
Fourth-quarter 2020 Cadillac XT6 sales were 906 units higher compared to the preceding quarter, which demonstrates the XT6’s ability to compete favorably in an ultra-competitive segment after a relatively short time on the market, despite stifled availability. We’d characterize the performance as being solid given the XT6’s ability to maintain its segment share, despite most of its rivals being more established and having deeper roots, including those offered by Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, and Acura.
That said, XT6 sales during Q4 2020 – as well as sales of most other vehicles – were still negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, we remain interested in seeing how the three-row luxury CUV performs during 2021.
For the 2021 model year, the XT6 gains a new base trim level called Luxury. The change is accompanied by a new standard engine in the form of the turbocharged 2.0L I-4 LSY engine. The new trim level enables the XT6 to attain a lower starting price while bringing the XT6 in line with the Cadillac Y-trim level strategy that’s been utilized on most other Cadillac models.

Cadillac XT6 Discontinued, But Cadillac XT5 To Remain In Production For Now
Comments
Seems fitting as it mid pack in the segment at best. GM really dropped the ball on the XT4, XT5, and especially XT6
Must do better.
I agree, as much as it pains me to say it the Lincoln Aviator looks far more upscale. As far as that subject goes the new Buick Enclave looks far more upscale as well.
I’d Disagree and say Cadillac FAR exceeded everyone’s expectations with the XT4, however the 6 was a huge let down. XT6 should’ve been build on Omega, and offered with more engines. How hard would it have been for GM to offer the 3.6, 2.0, 2.8 Dmax diesel, and 3.0TT?? All small engines that would easily fit into this vehicle in front or RWD layout.
I agree with everything you just said, except the 2.8 duramax. No way at all with than engine. The XT6 should have been launched with a PHEV option when it was announced, that was a huge missed opportunity, along with not having an upscale engine like the LF3 3.6L TT that was in the XTS-Vsport.
Cadillac is a dumpster fire. The XT6, one of the newer touted well advertised products is proof. Complete and total failure. Image-in the tank. Quality-average at best. Design-average. Average isn’t bad it means you’re as good as the middle pack. They are not leading.
Bah Humbug.
Where i live, a fully loaded xt6 approaches 80k. That’s the problem.
Cadillac Matt
Starting price of $48K. Fully loaded $80K. What seems to be the problem.
I get sticker shock every time I go grocery shopping. By comparison the price of new GM vehicles sounds very reasonable.
BTW The starting price of a new Mercedes S class is now $109K. Fully loaded Black Label over $200K.
Right, but the S-Class is worth it. The XT6 is not. It’s a garbage product. It looks like a Chevy, and the interior is cut-rate slabby design with 50% hard scratchy plastic and cheap trash leather.
No Black Label comes close to $200K, assuming you mean Lincoln.
Aviator is a better product, I’m glad to see it performing well.
The Cadillac XT line should be improved. The powertrain is underwhelming and the interior is cheap. I can’t understand how anyone inside GM thought that putting the interior of the 3 year-old XT5 (not that good) on XT6 would be a good idea.
They dont think..Its a instinctive reaction to choose the cheapest option……
You know, when I said this a month ago I got 99 thumbs down. Like I said ….the XT4, XT5, and XT6 could have been sooooo much better engineered.
These products were the result of that putz who ran Cadillac prior – saying how good the products were going to be – yeah – boring, cheap, and behind the competition – as always. Same GM.
Result of cheap short sighted and clueless GM missmanagment……..
Thanks for nothing, JDN! Go back to running Infiniti into the ground.
In another saying it brings up the rear.
Fitting for a suv designed by a four year old and outfitted with a cheap plastic interior.
The whole xt line is a swing and a miss once again.
What do you expect when you take a Chevrolet add some bling and magically create a Cadillac!!!!!
It’s called the Cimarron. LOL.
Really? Bringing up a car that hasn’t been made in over 30 years. When sitting on dealer lots today you can find these clunkers:
Mercedes B class – You golfers will love rebadged Smart Fortwo EV. It has the size and driving feel of a Golf Cart. With its 49 mile EV range, you will have plenty of time to hit the links waiting for this thing to charge.
BMW X1, X2 – the ultimate driving machine has become a FWD station wagon with an automatic transmission built on a mini platform.
Mercedes CLA – German Engineering? Not this baby! This troublesome compact was designed in Hungry. By people who learned about performance driving Yugos, Ladas and Trivant.
Audi A3, Q3 remember Farfignugen it really translates to the Unique shade of blue your balls turn when sitting in the back of a VAG subcompact.
Keep reaching PG, BMW/MERCEDES & Audi and soon Genesis are global luxury leaders Cadillacs are a bad joke. The new CLA is a strong vehicle, the old one not as good but they sold and also had the sedan and CUV. Now MB has the GLA, GLB, and CLA. The new 2 Series is better than the previous but the 1&2 share its origins w/BMW owned Mini, that said the X1 is better than any XT regardless of size. They offer the 2 Series, X1 & X2. The new A3/Q3 are excellent whereas the previous models sold extremely well… These vehicles are sold globally… the B CLass is global and has been sold for nearly 20years… oh you think the range sux how about the CT6 with its 31mile EV range… you make me laugh… All these vehicles are in their 2nd or 3rd Generations whereas GM will come out w/a vehicle, never continue its development, certainly never “market” it, then dump it. Your perspective is your own but the sales numbers speak volumes as do the reviews… but hey GM needs dorkstrokes like you to buy their cheap, over priced, soon to be recalled junk.
Xjug
The CT6 plug-in Hybrid gave the illusion of a much bigger engine. 2.0T w/EV boost got the big Sedan from 0 to 60 in 5.2 sec.
Everything else you mention is a pile of Crap.
We’ll you ought to know you seem to like driving crap… your opinions are based on emotions not facts… you’re just wrong snow fake….
Well said. This guy doesn’t know the market. He points to their mistakes but leaves out their (MB/BMW) core group of cars are market leaders.
O.M.G……….where have I said this before!
For the price they ask for the xt6 it should atleast have the engine from the ats-v! $15,000 overpriced
I think the Platinum package should be standard on the XT6 line up (except maybe the night vision) and then add additional upgrades from there. The XT6 with the platinum package is pretty luxurious! But the SUV definitely needs work to be the standard of the world. I don’t get why Cadillac doesn’t have exclusive engines. Also the seats should be world-class like Caddy was know for in the 70’s and 80’s (soft supportive and plush- at least on the premium luxury model) and then the sport model can have the firmer seats — the XT6 seats are to firm even with the semi-upgraded leather.
Last point — the seats in the 2018-2019 XTS Sedan (Premium Luxury/Platinum) are wonderful — comfortable, soft and have speakers on the headrests!!!!!!! — these would be amazing in the XT6 Premium Luxury.
The RX is the bestseller in this segment but boy races still think dropping a small block will improve XT6 sales for $19,995. About time the Aviation matched XT6 sales before another recall is issued.
So GM dropped several sedans to focus on the SUV/CUV market, but they offer the least exciting SUV lineup of any major car company. Hyundai/Kia sells more 3 row SUVs than GM. There’s a waiting list for the Telluride but you can’t give away Traverse or Acadia (or XT6) models. Tells you something isn’t right with product planning or design. Still nothing to compete in the Jeep Wrangler/Ford Bronco/Toyota 4Runner segment. And now I fear they are over focusing on EVs to try to score green points.
Excitement cost money! GM bureaucrats that do all the masterminding, cant see past the ink on there sheet of paper. Its the only truth there small narrow minds can comprehend…
Chris
Minivan sales were down. They really ranked when the Telluride & Palisades hit the market. GM fell short because it was working with 2 brands tied behind its back, and wasn’t allowed to bring its Big Guns (Tahoe, Suburban & Yukon) to the competition
Seriously…(it was working with 2 brands tied behind its back, and wasn’t allowed) Who tied their hands and is holding them back? Some Automotive referee?
Always an excuse for GM… no this is business and its all about the product. Hyundai cannot make Tellurides/Palisade’s fast enough and has raised prices 3X, because of the value proposition… GM has ZERO vehicles like this save the Vette. Not a single GM vehicle leads any segment it competes because GM is ALWAYS giving the customer less value for the dollar, whether in interiors, or styling, or warranty or price…. GM is not a leader its a pathetic also ran… and now their corporate vision is “inclusiveness, equity and diversity” which means one group is to be favored and other groups are to be diminished or marginalized… when a company states that’s their philosophy they set themselves up to eliminate customers… this company is run by idiots and fools.
You took the words straight off my tongue. Every time I post facts and reality, the fan boys throw rocks and I get the thumbs down. It’s the delusional “we’re number 1” foam finger attitude you see at sporting events that got GM, Ford and Chrysler to circle the drain. Instead of admitting that the competition was beating them and saying we need to get our act together, they continue their denial. Denial ain’t a river in Egypt.
All an executive has to do is pick up any of the trade magazines over the last several decades and they could have learned a lot. It’s pointless. The execs are yes men and CYA. Meanwhile the competition and their culture is solely focused on improving product. Detroit culture-CYA. I used to think they don’t get it. Now I know it’s that they don’t care.
Well there is a no brainer, but rest assured the electrics will save Cadillac in the Chinese market which is their target.
Gee, I wonder how many electrics were running around two weeks ago in Texas……….and Louisiana…..and Mississippi….three states I would very much like to give back to the Native Americans but I don’t think they want them now……………
Actually people with EV’s used them at night to sleep in their Garage to keep their families warm while sleeping….can you do that with your ICE car in your Garage?
In a few years time it’s their only market.
They have lost europe for good (nobody will miss them), and are loosing the us rapidly.
And the chinese seem to like plastics, so with the lyriq they are in for a real treat.
(Too bad i can’t unsee the hideous front of that thing)
The rear taillights on the side rear of the Lyriq is distracting and not attractive.
OK just looked this up. Is there anyone here that can tell me WHAT makes a XT6 worth 23 thousand dollars more than a Traverse?
That little emblem… but it’s only fooling around 7k people per quarter.
…….and sheep will always be sheep………..
I can……………nothin!
Nothing. Cadillac hasn’t earned the respect of the luxury market to justify their prices. The truth and tale are in their sales figures. They design an all new SUV and it’s at the bottom of the pack? Who’s watching Cadillac at the Red Can? Board of directors? Anyone?
Ren Cen
I’m sorry.. but the only place that GM dropped the ball on this vehicle is not doing EXACTLY what Lexus did and calling the XT6.. the XT5-L, of course putting the new face on the shorter XT5 and XT4. Point blank.. and we all know it.. the XT6 is a longer version of the XT5 Premium Lux. in every way except the face. Lexus did the exact same thing, but for the sake of marketing calls the RX.. and RX and RX-L sales combined. Combing their sales shows a more realistic picture within the segment, making it #3 Overall. What is AMAZING is that everyone on this board knows this.. but would rather ignore the obvious sales situation.
I agree with you completely. But the seats still need work!
Another thing Lexus did, and nearly every other mfr, that GM never does is keep their names. Everyone knows what an RX is, its been around for over 25 years but an XT6? And, once GM’s EV dreams starts these XT’s will die, probably in only 1 Gen as they’re simply portfolio fillers and not real strong entries. So once again GM hamstrings itself… these EV’s better be an insane combination of superb quality, fantastic range, awesome interiors, over the top warranty or this company is gone in a decade… they simply fail in ICE vehicles and have bet the farm on EV…
So true! GM really needs to work on keeping their names in production instead of dropping them every few years. Even though I am not a fan of the Lexus RX– its name has been around forever and everyone knows that name. Same with the LS sedan. Let’s see if GM keeps the XT names once they move all electric. Since the XT5 is so popular it would make sense to do that, but knowing GM they will probably drop the XT names completely. The Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Accord, Civic etc all have names that every American knows because the names have been around forever. Thank God GM kept the Escalade name through out it’s life cycle. I hope they learn their lesson soon but I dont have much faith.
With gas prices going back up. Most of these vehicles will be parked, and anxious owners looking for more fuel efficient vehicles once again. History repeats itself, gm will really need to get those EV vehicles ready hopefully!
SLW
Most people buying a $50,000 crossover, won’t even notice paying $10 more a week for gas.
Yes I agree, it’s the want-a-bees that live on monthly time payments that will, their are a lot of want-a-bees driving many of these vehicles just for the logo and class they think make them feel rich without being rich lol.
….but by then the electric grids will be down………you know…bad weather,……. rolling blackouts………..antique electric grid infrastructure…….politicians in those southern states who will not spend a dime on electric grids……………what was that you said gov. Perry about how the politicians in Washington could learn how to build industry in this country by modeling texas right before you went to Washington to become trumps sec. of energy…..now that was a joke………
There has been a problem with the US grid LONG before Perry was Energy Sec… why didn’t the 8 yrs of the Barry Soetoro, Plugs Quid Pro Joe, the arrogant, plagiarizer, now dementia in chef do anything about it? But lets just say DemoRats really care about the grid? Why is there $85B in the $1.9T “CCP” relief pkg for free cash to fund Union Pensions? Its not a loan its free taxpayer cash to the unions… Why does only 9% go to “covid” relief? Please the waste is DemoRat waste, that’s why we’re $30T in debt… DemoRat waste and handouts, not to mention making their friends millionaires, as well as themselves thru their pious “public service”….
Well said.
More Cadillac duds… New ‘Blackwing’ sedans with parts bin power trains and a new Escalade. Anything exciting going on at Cadillac?
Electrics… where? And if they are kitted out with the same jet black interior as every other Cadillac, excepting the seat covers, they’ll be duds too. The electric excitement is past, the novelty of instant torque/acceleration was capitalized on by Tesla. So what will Cadillac get to market on them? Range/recharge anxiety and… (crickets chirping)
Grey and Tan will be offered too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!……anti GM today…….tell us what you really think guys…………
Anti stupid decision making. Something GM always gets right………..
I get that building the XT6 on Omega would’ve been too cost-prohibitive, but why didn’t GM build the XT6 off of the Enclave/Traverse platform instead of stretching the Acadia everywhichway? From the looks inside out, the 4-year old Enclave trounces the XT6 all day everyday. It looks better, is more spacious, the interior is beautiful and the Avenir is worth every penny. Or is that why? Buick lobbyists within GM didn’t want an Enclave killer. Or…from the Escalade brand mgmt camp, did they realize that a Caddy 3-row crossover that would’ve been at least as nice as the Enclave might cannibalize Escalade sales? I feel bad for the XT6; what could’ve been. It will definitely be last place in sales once the new QX60 comes out. It’s a shame, because it does have clean lines, albeit a crappy interior. Thanks, JDN!
You want to know what’s cost prohibitive Craig,…I’ll tell you………It’s when you spend billions developing the most exclusive, and best chassis in the world, put it in ONE vehicle, then DUMP it….it’s when you spend billions developing a great engine, only make about 2700 of them, then DUMP it….. it’s when you spend billions making the best luxury sedan you’ve made in 60 years, then DUMP it, it’s when you spend billions developing the most unique concept cars in the world, then never put even ONE of them into production….GM is a master at cost prohibitive squandering,…. and as a stock holder I’ve complained about this over the last several years…,,,,makes you wonder what is going to be dumped next after they spend billions. Let’s DUMP the board of directors salaries…,.now there’s a step in the right direction ……….
SO RIGHT!
The xt4 diesel engine is next.
They sell a few hundred of these things over the coming years in europe, and then dump it.
Dumping the CT6 and the blackwing (i guess Whitewing was not inclusive enough) is a real shame.
Thats GM propaganda that Omega would be cost prohibitive! The way GM sees it is build it on the cheapest platform available and charge the same as if it were built on Omega… Its NOT JDN fault Cadillac is a mess its his bosses! You can thank clueless Mary and her band of fools that follow her!
“It’s worth noting that combining sales of the Buick Enclave and Cadillac XT6 gives GM 19,493 deliveries for a 19 percent share – enough to lead the segment in cumulative sales volume and share.”
This statement is not true. The BMW X5 and X6 combined sales total is 21,523, and they are essentially the same vehicle
Where is the Cadillac that can compete with the Lincoln Aviator, complete with twin turbo hybrid V6, AWD MPGe 54 city/58 hwy/56 combined, and the Chalet theme makes the entire Cadillac line up (except Escalade) look like… Kia, Hyundai (no, that would be a compliment these days…) a bluebird school bus.
Being tough on Cadillac? You bet, the competition sure won’t be.
Love it Andrew! GM is a joke and they’ve wasted billions on Cadillac. I think if JDN was actually given free reign we’d have a different story but the pathetic bureaucracy at GM continues to ruin the company. I said it earlier the EV’s better be fabulous in terms of range, quality, fit & finish, warranty, “touch points”, and price/value or this company is dead…. Cadillac is a total, utter and complete embarrassment… and Mary Barra should have been fired years ago… if she weren’t a she, she would have been long gone… PC insanity destroying yet another American institution..
