The luxury C-crossover segment expanded nearly 22 percent to 75,456 units in Q1 2021, meaning that the 6 percent rise in XT4 sales during the quarter underperformed the segment average.
The GM Authority Take
The increase in Cadillac XT4 sales volume is welcomed news following the 21 percent decline reported in Q4 2020. During 2019, the model was finding its footing in the highly-competitive segment, gradually increasing sales volume during each quarter. The fact that the XT4’s segment share fell from 8 to 7 percent shows that it’s being slightly outpaced by the competition.
A refresh of the XT4 is on the horizon, expected for the 2023 model year. That’s one year later than originally planned by GM as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who considers the Buick Envision as a luxury SUV?
Everyone who shops Lexus and Acura or Infiniti. Even Benz, Audi and bmw sometimes show up as trades.
While looking for a new car to purchase two weeks ago I test drove a Cadillac XT4. I found it to be noisy, underpowered, and cheaply made. The XT5 is a much better car.
Much better… AND MORE EXPENSIVE.
For the record, the XT4 is not noisy. We’re you listening with a stethoscope?
I love the exterior and interior (premium luxury model) of this car, but having spent a great deal of time behind the wheel of the XT4, I can attest to the fact that the engine is indeed noisy, the tranny shifts quite noticeably, and the cabin is certainly not the peaceful environment one would expect from a Cadillac. Sad.
