The GM Authority Take
During the second quarter of 2023, Cadillac XT4 sales continued a positive trend that started more than a year ago. We attribute the uptick to improved inventory of the 2023 model as well as healthy interest in the 2024 model, which was fully refreshed. Production of the refreshed model began in late May 2023, and initial units began trickling into dealerships in June.
In prior quarters, XT4 sales were up as a result of improved inventory thanks to resumed production following extended assembly downtime due to supply chain constraints. However, issues remain, as Cadillac‘s new vehicle inventory stood at just under 50 days supply in June. A 60-day supply is considered optimal in the U.S. auto industry by many automotive sales organizations such as the National Automotive Dealers Association (NADA). For reference, a 60-day inventory level means that dealerships have enough inventory on hand to sustain sales volume for roughly the next 60 days.
Looking ahead, we expect the updated XT4 to continue drawing interest, driving sales volume as it becomes more widely available. The biggest limiting factor to further sales gains is production, as the 2023 GM-UAW labor negotiations might result in production stoppages or delays.
About Cadillac XT4
The 2023 Cadillac XT4 arrives as the fifth model year of the first-generation small luxury crossover, introducing minor changes over the 2022 Cadillac XT4. The XT4 continues to offer a single powertrain, namely the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine producing 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The boosted four continues to be mated to the GM nine-speed automatic transmission for both standard front-wheel- and optional all-wheel-drive configurations.
Meanwhile, the refreshed 2024Â Cadillac XT4 features an updated exterior, a new cockpit, and new tech features. The trim level lineup once again lists out as Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport, each featuring its own unique accents and available in front-wheel- and all-wheel-drive configurations.
The changes start with a new front and rear ends, the former of which incorporates an updated grille design and new LED headlights with signature vertical lighting cues. The refreshed model also introduces new alloy wheel designs, including 18-inch and 20-inch options, plus three new exterior colors.
Inside, we find an overhauled cabin headlined by a new 33-inch, 9K-resolution LED color touchscreen lifted straight from the Cadillac Lyriq. The 2024 Cadillac XT4 also offers a 13-speaker audio system from AKG, wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto capability, and a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot – making the 2024 XT4 one of the first GM vehicles to gain 5G functionality.
The 2024 Cadillac XT4 is able to acommodate these features via GM’s Global B electronic architecture, which should theoretically support the expanded version of the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous highway driver assist system. Interestingly, GM has yet to announce the feature for the refreshed XT4, despite testing prototypes.
Under the hood, the refreshed 2024 XT4 carries over the LSY engine and nine-speed automatic transmission.

Not surprised. You sit in any of those entry-level German SUVs (the Mercedes and BMW specifically) and they scream cheap. Materials, lack of standard equipment, design, etc.
The XT4’s old interior was already decent material-wise, albeit unimpressive looking, so I imagine the update only builds on that quality with a better-looking design.
The refreshed XT4 is one of the Generals best refreshes in years. In my opinion, its the best looking crossover in its class inside and out. My only gripe is they should offer more powertrain options preferably a V version and a hybrid but GM doesn’t do hybrids, boy thats a headscratcher!
