The Q7 needed a refresh, but even before the updates there is no universe where Cadillac holds a candle to any competitor with XT6 or XT5. That’s coming from a proud Cadillac owner.
Gotta agree with you on that. We are starting to look in the larger luxury SUV market and were hoping for a new revised XT6 for the next model year but Caddy is stretching out the same vehicle for 2025 and it is clearly dated when compared to the competition. And we’re not sure if they will even offer an ICE based or even hybrid replacement afterwards since their focus is on EVs which don’t fit our extended travel plans. We’re not a fan of the Lincoln offerings either so domestic solutions are non existant. 🤷♂️
For the difference in price, I'll take the XT6 all day long. In my opinion it's a much better value. I just leased a 2024 XT6 Prem Lux with the platinum package and I love it. It looks great, drive great and has all the bells and whistles anybody could want. I think it's a GREAT SUV and a great value, especially when compared to the German competition.
