The Cadillac XT4 crossover is set to receive a model refresh for the 2024 model year, debuting a revised exterior, a new interior, and the latest tech features. Now, GM Authority is bringing you the first spy photos of the refreshed 2024 Cadillac XT4 Luxury.
While prototypes of the 2024 Cadillac XT4 have been spotted on numerous occasions previously, this is our first look at the upcoming 2024 Cadillac XT4 Luxury. The big giveaway is the window surround (also known as DLOs, or daylight openings), which on this particular prototype are finished in chrome, which is standard for Luxury and Premium Luxury trim levels. By comparison, Sport models are equipped with black window trim. Also of note is the new grille, which shows off the bright finish included as standard for Luxury and Premium Luxury trim levels, as compared to the shiny black grille equipped by Sport trim levels.
Moving into the corners, this 2024 Cadillac XT4 Luxury is riding on a set of silver wheels with a new multi-spoke design. Judging by the sidewalls, these rollers appear to be 18 inches in diameter, with 20-inch wheels once again expected as optional.
Then we have the tail lamps, which on this 2024 Cadillac XT4 Luxury prototype model are red, as compared to the clear (or neutral density) tail lamp housings equipped by Sport models.
GM Authority first brought you spy photos of the 2024 Cadillac XT4 in June, at which time we exclusively reported that the refreshed crossover would boast new infotainment features highlighted by the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system.
Later spy photos revealed that the refreshed 2024 Cadillac XT4 would introduce exterior updates that would include a new grille and headlamp design, with vertically oriented LED daytime running lamps and indicator lights creating an interesting two-tiered setup.
Finally, spy photos published in August reveal the 2024 Cadillac XT4’s redesigned interior, which will incorporate a new curved panel across the dash that ties together the driver instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen. The new interior also includes a new head-up display housing and steering wheel design, as well as a few other bits and pieces detailed previously.
As for the greasy bits, the 2024 Cadillac XT4 is expected to cradle the same turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine as the current model. Output is rated at 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Production will take place at the GM Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City.

I hope there are changes for the XT5 also.
And change the XT6 interior also please
Out of the 3 Xts I like driving the 4 the most. Feels light and easy to toss around. Like the idea of the new screen.
Maybe had they not burned $20 billion+ on developing the laughing stock of EV’s, they could have spared a few bucks on doing the XT4 properly.
It’s still an awkwardly shaped, cheaply built front drive penalty box. Easily the worst in the segment. It needs more than a mild refresh.
GM CEO needs to step down.

what is laughable exactly about GM’s Ultium BEV’s so far?
The only thing you can say is their Speed of Manufacturing them has been a joke but with the Lordstown Plant up and running now, one would think it’ll ramp up.
Had I not read the XT4 in the article, I’d have thought it was an XT5. I’m not interested in any CUV/SUV’s at this time, but I do think the XT4 looks nice. Having driven two different ones for a total of about 10 days (while having a car in service two times), I just didn’t like the way they drove. I didn’t like the suspension, found the 9 speed to be fussy and annoying, and the dash/doors/interior to be lacking in nearly every way. For what they charge for these things, I’d pass even if I wanted an SUV.
I can’t wait to see the refreshed XT4, especially the new interior with the large touchscreens. GM needs to apply similar changes to the XT6 and even the XT5.
GM also needs to Drop the 3.6 HFV6 and use the 3.0TT on Cadillac vehicles and 3.0T on all other GM vehicles.
The 3.6 HFV6 has got top go in my opinion. It is definitely time!!!
I agree – this needs more power to truly be competitive in its segment. The 3.0TT would be (aspirationally) nice, but I’d take the 2.7 from the ATS-V. Come on Cadillac – stop teasing us with V-series sedans (and now the Escalade) and ignore the bread-and-butter SUV market.
The output of the 2.7T would be a welcome addition to the XT4, for sure, and might move it onto the shopping list for a lot more people.
With the 2.7T being originally designed for truck duty, I have to wonder if there are issues putting it into a transverse application. The power / torque output would probably require significant (beefing up) changes to the transmission and AWD driveline, and I don’t think GM has any other candidates on the same platform that they’d consider spending the money on to amortize the R&D.
What seems more plausible to me is that output of the 2.0T in there now is being artificially held back. Like they’ve done for the Colorado/Canyon, it shouldn’t be so hard to offer multiple tune levels for the 2.0T. In its current state & output numbers, it’s another example of GM ‘phoning-in’ something because it’s “perfectly acceptable” / “fine” / “adequate”. Those are words to describe a rental car, instead of something I’d aspire to own…and Cadillac needs to be an aspirational brand. There’s more nuance to the discussion of course, but that’s an entry-level engine everywhere else that GM uses it. A Cadillac model deserves better.
I really wish the rear of the rear of the XT4 would change, but it looks fine with it I guess.
Ugh.. I’m still driving my 2019 XT4 and I hate it. I can’t wait to get rid of it (spring 2023). The engine is absolute garbage; noisy & laggy. I will never buy another turbo again. I had an XT5 and should have stuck with it.
