The Cadillac XT6 Should Get Sedona Sauvage Or Kona Brown Seats

First breaking cover for the 2020 model year, the Cadillac XT6 tops Caddy’s ICE-powered crossover lineup, slotting in above the Cadillac XT5 and below the Cadillac Escalade SUV. At present, the Cadillac XT6 offers a selection of interesting interior colorways for customers to choose from. However, we think there’s one interior color scheme that’s still missing.

To be more specific, we think the Cadillac XT6 should offer a proper brown interior colorway. While the current XT6 does offer Maple Sugar with Jet Black accents, we think this color simply isn’t dark enough, nor is it brown enough. Instead, we’d prefer to see something like Sedona Sauvage offered, or possibly Kona Brown Sauvage.

For those readers who may be unaware, Sedona Sauvage is available for the Cadillac XT4, Cadillac XT5, and Cadillac CT5, while Kona Brown Sauvage is available for the Cadillac XT5. The question then becomes this – why not offer these rich interior colorways for the Cadillac XT6, as well?

In the Cadillac XT4, Sedona/Jet Black is matched with Linear Galaxy high-gloss genuine wood trim, while in the Cadillac XT5, Sedona Sauvage with Jet Black accents is matched with Satin Rosewood wood trim. In the Cadillac XT5, Kona Brown Sauvage with Jet Black accents is matched with Bronze Carbon Fiber trim, while in the Cadillac CT5, Sedona Sauvage with Jet Black accents is matched with Twenty-Two Carbon Fiber trim.

When it comes to luxury vehicles, offering a rich, dark brown upholstery color makes a lot of sense, as it can provide passengers with a sense of comfort, almost like they’re sitting in their favorite chair at home. While the Maple Sugar with Jet Black accents interior colorway currently offered in the Cadillac XT6 is a good step in this direction, we think that the darker, richer tones of Sedona Sauvage or Kona Brown Sauvage are more in line with that at-home feeling.

  1. The XT6 is a great vehicle for Cadillac. More interior color choices would be nice.

  2. Yes, I totally agree, the XT6 should have a darker, richer brown interior option. Everyone knows that this color way enhances the luxury of a vehicle. Go sit in an Audi with its rich browns. Their interiors alone sell the car.

  3. 100% agree. It make no sense that you can get the darker color in the XT5 but not the XT6. However, if the XT6 is to remain relevant, it needs other updates as seen in the 2024 XT4. I would not buy an XT6 without these updates. Also wondering if the XT6 is dead or will it be updated to the larger size like the Enclave and Acadia.

  4. I have been putting off buying a xt6 because of the poor choices in interiors I would reconsider with the Sedona Sauvage

  5. Pick different names, please.

  6. I do like my XT6 sport platinum with Maple Sugar, but it’s the absolute lightest color I would go, I would love the option of the Kona! I just don’t love the Auburn color, and I won’t do black. I live in the south and don’t need to burn myself every time I get in the car.

  7. In 1976, Cadillac had 21 available exterior colors and 14 available interior leather colors. It’s laughable that they’re acting like an extra interior color, is so incredibly special. So does that mean I’ll be able to get four choices instead of three? 🤣🤣🤣

  8. I agree, a darker brown seat option would be very desirable……..I’d order it.

  9. Maybe a darker brown but Kona…… no
    All you have to do is look at the used Escalade market and see all the ones with Kona Brown sitting. People spent $2000 on the option to get Kona Brown and now used, they sit on lots.

  10. We bought a 2024 black Cadillac XT6 Sport, we love everything about it except the seats are hard & not very comfortable for a Cadillac. Otherwise, the ride is awesome. Our seats are black, but I agree on the other color choices.

  11. The darker colors would be a nice feature but I would love to see a little more torque and hp for more towing capacity.
