The online configurator tool for the 2023 Cadillac XT6 has gone live on the American luxury automaker’s website, allowing us to view the full scope of (admittedly minor) changes applied to the three-row crossover for the coming model year.
One of the few changes applied to the 2023 Cadillac XT6 is a revised color palette. As GM Authority covered previously, the 2023 Cadillac XT6 has dropped three colors that were previously offered for the 2022 model year, including Satin Steel Metallic (paint code G9K), Dark Moon Blue Metallic (paint code GLU), and Infrared Tintcoat (paint code GSK). These hues were indirectly replaced by Radiant Red Tintcoat (paint code GNT), Opulent Blue Metallic (paint code GTR), and Argent Silver Metallic (GXD).
We went ahead and used the Cadillac XT6 configurator to show how the mid-size crossover looks in one of these new exterior colors, Opulent Blue Metallic. This example vehicle is based on the Sport trim level and features the Platinum Package, Onyx Package, Driver Assist Package, Technology Package and Super Cruise. The configurator was unable to provide a suggested MSRP for this particular vehicle, but the Sport trim level is priced from $61,490 including destination and freight.
As a reminder, the Cadillac XT6 crossover is offered with two engine options, starting with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, rated at 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, as well as the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, rated at 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. Output is routed through the GM nine-speed automatic transmission as standard, with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive available for a price premium. The crossover rides on the GM C1 platform, while production takes place at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee.
The 2023 Cadillac XT6 began rolling off the assembly line on June 10th, 2022. Readers can access the online configurator for the crossover at this link.

Go for the 3.6 L V6 engine. It is stronger and will give less maintenance problems.
It is more durable and will require less upkeep.
More aftermarket parts/upgrades for the V6 too. I just wish GM would figure out how to get more torque out of the V6, because it’s low even in the Camaro. The 3.6 in the Camaro is 335 horsepower, 284 lb-ft of torque. Be nice if the engineers could get it to be like the LS3’s were … where torque matched horsepower. This lil V6 with 310 lb-ft of torque would be even better. I still wish GM would have upgraded/improved the “bulletproof” 3.8 liter V6, instead of scrapping it, especially the supercharged versions.
I agree, however, I was told that the 3.8 could not meet the more restricted pollution requirements.
While I agree that the 3.6 is a great engine, and I’ve owned many of them over the years, I decided to go with the 2.0T FWD in my ‘21 and ‘22 XT6. For my needs, it has plenty of get up and go, will spin the tires if I hit the gas too hard, is very quiet around town and at highway speeds and returns good mpg. I guess we will see how it is in the future, but so far, with the Luxury model having all the equipment that was important to me, this was an experiment that has proven to be cost effective, positive so far, and a choice that led me to buy not one, but two of these vehicles.
I've read a few posts on your website and I think it's very interesting and full of useful information.
Thank you very much since a lot of valuable information you provide. I really appreciate that
