General Motors’ semi-autonomous Super Cruise system is poised to make its way to several new GM vehicles, including the forthcoming 2023 Cadillac XT6 luxury crossover. Now, new spy photos reveal the upcoming 2023 Cadillac XT6 testing the GM Super Cruise driver assist system.
As we can see here, this 2023 Cadillac XT6 is roaming the streets with camouflage covering up the grille, under which is believed to be a slightly reworked grille design, as well as the sensors needed to operate the Super Cruise system. It’s also worth noting that the adaptive cruise control sensor mounted in the bottom bumper of the current XT6 is no longer visible, and is likely now located in the upper grille.
The 2023 Cadillac XT6 will follow several other Caddy models in offering the high-tech Super Cruise feature. Super Cruise initially debuted on the 2018 Cadillac CT6 sedan (the nameplate has since been discontinued in the U.S.), while an enhanced version of the system was introduced with the 2021 Cadillac CT5 and 2021 Cadillac CT4. The all-new 2021 Cadillac Escalade also offers Super Cruise, as will the upcoming all-electric Cadillac Lyriq luxury crossover.
Outside of the Cadillac model lineup, the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV will also feature GM’s Super Cruise system, making it the first non-Cadillac model to offer the feature. Looking ahead, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 will also offer a version of the tech that will enable semi-autonomous towing capabilities.
It’s expected that Super Cruise will be offered on 22 GM vehicles by 2023, including the Cadillac XT6.
GM’s Super Cruise system leverages a range of visual cameras, LiDar mapping, GPS data, and radar sensors to automatically steer, accelerate, and brake when driving on the highway. At launch, the system was available for activation on over 130,000 miles of limited-access freeways in the U.S. and Canada, but was later updated with a further 70,000 miles to bring the grand total up to 200,000 miles.

Why bother, the XT6 will never sell more than its bottom sales numbers in NA. Try upgrading the powertrain and spend some money on the interior then maybe it won’t be dud.
Cadillac sold 22,609 XT6s in 2020 compared to Lincoln which sold 23,080 Aviator in 2020. For Q1 of this year it was 5,990 and 6,086… all things considered thats pretty dead even. I think theyre doing okay, chill!
Sales are doing well, yes. But a mediocre offering like this is damaging the Cadillac brand even further. I love the brand with all my heart, and want to see it succeed and prosper. The new Escalade is a great start. They need to apply the formula they used there to this vehicle, as well as the rest of the lineup.
That effort is going into Cadillac’s EVs. Lyriq and Celestiq are proof of that.
Until an upgraded engine is optional and the interior AT LEAST gets a larger screen and better materials, this will remain a lackluster offering.
Hey Jonathan – is GM able to upgrade the electrical system on this platform to the Global B architecture? Or will this have the same SuperCruise that is found on the Bolt EUV?
Yea it’ll probably get the first gen Supercruise system
Exactly how is it that GM Authority can tell they’re testing “Super Cruise”, just from some spy photos?
No thank you , sounds like nothing more than a system that will have numerous glitches, add cost to an already overpriced product. It sounds like a question very few have asked but GM like many car companies put these features on so that the unwise consumer will think its the greatest thing since sliced bread. The human element is and has been for several years removed from cars. Could it be the last golden age in general for cars was the 1990s to the mid 2000s?.
Who cares. It’s just an fwd based bs with dated interior.
Just build cars like lyriq.
I am a 2020 Cadillac XT6 owner and I must say that I like the vehicle but it is definitely under powered for that size vehicle. When you speak of competing against the aviator which is pushing 400 horsepower and 369 pound feet of torque, then its obvious that the XT6 needs more power. When you accelerate hard you should not hear the engine whining but instead feel the power pulling you back into the seat just as you feel it on the Lincoln Aviator and Audi Q5. I travel on the interstate all the time and the best I have gotten is 24 mpg overall and that is using my cruise control set at 70 mph. so if that is the best gas mileage that I will be getting then yes give me more power because I am not saving anything on fuel. I would not dare tow anything with it just because of the measly 310 hp and 271 pound feet of torque. I am considering selling it in hopes of the 2023 premium luxury offering more power. I am satisfied with the interior and especially the 14 speaker Bose Premium Sound.
Xt6 needs the 3ltr twin turbo
I had a 2022 XT6 ordered. It didn’t make the 2022 allocation. I had the Dark Moon Blue ordered and have a specific need for that color or something very close. The color was discontinued for the 2023 year.
I have not been able to find the replacement blue on the internet.
Anxious to get allocation,but have to see the color first.
Please advise.
