The GM Authority Take
The substantial decline in Cadillac XT4 sales during the fourth quarter of 2021 was the direct result of idled production leading to poor retail supply as a result of the ongoing global semiconductor microchip shortage. The microchip shortage is expected to diminish later this year, and XT4 production at the GM Fairfax Assembly plant finally resumed this past November after being pushed back from August and September.
On a related note, sales performance of the Buick Envision, the XT4’s platform mate, was able to significantly outperform the segment thanks to the crossover being assembled by GM and its joint venture partner in China. The SAIC-GM Jinqiao South plant did not experience the same levels of downtime as the Fairfax plant.
We expect XT4 sales to grow in the near-term as production ramps and inventory improves.
The 2022 Cadillac XT4 introduces a few minor changes and updates for the first-generation model that was introduced for the 2019 model year. GM initially planned to refresh the Cadillac XT4 for the 2022 model year, but complications stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic forced the automaker to delay it until 2023.

Here’s Why GM Is Discontinuing The Cadillac XT4: Video
Comments
After having numerous XT4’s as loaners, I am pretty sure anyone that wants an XT4 has one!
The professional thumb-downers are busily working to wear down their thumbs.
Is that all you do on here is complain about people downvoting you?
After you test drive one…you will see why no one wants one.
The XT4 was a new subcompact for Cadillac that does not have any equity behind it. The best year for it was back in 2019 with over 31K volume. The pandemic disrupted everything starting in March ’20. IMO, the XT4 would had a chance for major growth if the COVID did not exist.
Compare to the sales volume of the Escalade which generally write checks for GM which easily outsold the XT4, it is easy to understand to push the volume for the Escalade and not focus on the XT4 any longer.
Self-inflicted wound. Unfortunately, manufacturers blame Covid for every failure they themselves caused. I did test drive it and I agree with the Consumers Reports placing it in the last place by giving it miserable 50 points.
Thumbdowner IQof39 busy at malicious work.
For someone who is supposed to be an adult, you behavior comes across as a child. If your feelings are this hurt due to thumbdowns, why bother posting on here in the first place. You are worse than Andy and he does not complain about thumbdowns. People are free to disagree or agree anyhow they feel about your comments.
Do yourself a favor and stop acting a fool, move on or stop posting altogether. No one on here care about your juvenile rants of thumbdowns.
Who is Andy? Is it the fella who was called an idiot by a genius with IQ of 39, as imbedded in his sig? As for your thumbdowns, they are funny considering the IQ39 of busy thumber. As for counting, I got more thump-us than you ever get. So get a life, Johnie.
So you are giving me comfort that you get more thumb-ups then me? So, you really are a desperate pathetic loser and the most sensitive on here who is more concerned about what people think about you with thumb-up or down indicators looking for attention for himself. That is the reason why people like myself attack you trolls with verbal assaults for being stupid with childish behavior which you constantly indicate on these posts.
You confessed: “people like myself attack you trolls with verbal assaults”.
Do not worry. Combined with the massive foot fetish and red painted nails such “verbal assaults” are unmistakable indication of Asperger Syndrome. Fortunately, it is treatable. So, if it makes you happy just go on with your attacks of “verbal assaults” against trolls. They are amusing enough so we can laugh our asses off. But please be careful so the vein in your forehead does not rupture. It would deny us the opportunity of good laugh at your self-admitted “verbal assaults” read “idiotic meanderings” worthy of your IQ39.
Making up untrue stories about other posters on here does not give you brownie points and make you look foolish on these public forums. Also, you are making yourself look bad in your behavior. I am so glad that I am not like you. Ignorance in a White man coming from Mike.
Test drive one and you will see why it is not selling.
I like the concept of it, and I like the exterior. I’m too tall for the seats, so I literally can’t see street lights when driving, would think that could be solved with more adjustment range in the front seats, also the sheer amount of free flow packages makes finding one with the right mix next to impossible without custom ordering. As the lowest end Cadillac I would think it would be pretty simplified with few options outside of the trim level differences.
