2020 Cadillac XT6 consumer reviews

I had an escalade and decided to go smaller. I love the look of the xt6 and the comfort. However driving off the lot my radio & the cluster stated acting up. I drive 1 hour to work & back. There has not be 1 day since i bought this car that I can enjoy my radio/music. I tried the apple play and the screen looks horrible. The xm radio keeps changing itself. The speed sign on the cluster reads (zero) speed limit. Im so disappointed. I have had this car for 2 weeks, i can only imagine what more problems to expect.

Very nice vehicle that appears to be an over priced Traverse . Not the case what so ever. This car rides and handles like a true dream. Call it a Traverse if want but drive it. Cadillac has done an excellent job making it a luxury vehicle for thousands less than the comparable Lincoln.

I love this vehicle. Beautiful inside and out. Quiet & smooth ride. Controls are easy to learn - problem with cup holder cover closing in its own. Service dept replaced part.

I like the exterior appearance. I like the comfort of the ride and the roomy interior. Very nice interior electronic features. Gets great mileage too for a large vehicle.

Let’s start out what Cadillac needs improvement. # 1 more power-ways to driver and passenger front seats. #2 AWD across the model line up. # 3 a turbo 4 cylinder 4 that is in the new CT4. Perhaps the XT6 is to heavy for the turbo 4. I have a lot of problems Dis connecting the auto start. I will tap and tap again finally it takes. In sport mode the steering needs to be tighter.These are my opinions only. Okay reviews say this is a tarted up Acadia. Heck-No! The styling is completely 100% different. Now look at the aviator. It’s body design is exactly the same body as the Explorer. Another exclusive to the XT6 is vertical taillights, not horizontal like i.e. aviator/ explorer. Now love love love the dash! I love the handling and the drive! It is very sedate. It is very quiet inside. Here is another take away. Do you want to exit your SUV w/ a door handle? Or do you want some “Black” push button on the door? You be the judge. I want a handle. Again about the XT6 having a serene interior that Aviator has so much busy plastic chrome in the front interior. Yes it looks cool but it is so dated already. XT6 will not get tired. I love my XT6! It is less costly than the aviator. That is a moot point. The XT6 also has a look of the X-7 C-Pillar back.... sorry for going on but Cadillac has a winner! Oh and and and OMG I am old school Caddy guy but I just discovered the past week. Remember the Caddy’s from the 60’s and 70’s yes “Front cornering lamps” Yes the XT6 has them! I loved the XT6 from the get go. But those cornering lamps are just great!!!!!!!

This car is GREAT didn't really think I would ever drive a Cadillac but actually love it and would recommend it to my friends and family

This car definitely gives you speed or a very smooth laid back ride, whatever your preference is. I had the SRX and of course is was smooth but not like this. I love my car! The body style especially in the front is awesome. I have a fully loaded one in the Manhattan color (blackish gray)

I was in the market to purchase a new vehicle to replace my jeep wrangler. We were going to look at the Acura MDX and my husband talked me into stopping at the Cadillac dealership to look at the XT6. He had showed me pictures online of the XT6 but I wasn’t impressed. When we got to the Cadillac dealership we test drove one of their XT sixes that they had on their lot and I fell in love. The interior is much more luxurious than the MDX. And honestly the big seller for me was the panoramic sunroof. It really opens up the car. My Xt6 has power folding down seats in the back which makes it extremely easy for me when I am grocery shopping and don’t have all of my kids. This vehicle is not only a sharp looking car but it is also extremely functional for our family and my busy life. I don’t like the clunkiness of the Escalade and I feel like this offer is everything that Escalade does without the bulk. I have the sport version in black.

I consider myself a very educated and conscientious vehicle shopper. I will also admit that I've been a very loyal GM customer, having purchased 13 new GM vehicles within our household over the past 30 years. I’ve been actively researching a purchase of a Mid-Size Luxury SUV for the past year. When GM announced the production of the Cadillac XT6, I was waiting with baited breath to learn more and tests drive this “NEW” model. When I finally had the opportunity to drive the XT6, I was immediately left with serious concerns and disappointment. Having test driven the new 2020 Lincoln Aviator prior to the XT6 may have influenced my opinion of the Cadillac prematurely; so I thought. However, as I took careful time to seriously compare these two American Luxury brands, I felt compelled to turn away from the Cadillac XT6 and pursue a purchase of the Lincoln Aviator. Let it be known that my reason from turning away from GM wasn’t because of any negative experiences with previous GM products! Simply stated, I've become increasingly frustrated with GMs failure to seriously differentiate its product lineup to include Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac. With the exception of some simple exterior/interior cues, GM still insists on sharing one common parts-bin amongst all of its product divisions. From the powertrains to the dashboards, all GM divisions share way too much in common. Additionally, the exterior and interior appearances are lackluster and appear very "dated". The issues that these GM models face can no longer justify the significant difference in pricing that they command. GM has lost its ability to “wow” me with its “new” lineups. Specifically, my comparison of the XT6 and the Aviator allowed me to undeniably conclude that these two vehicles are Not Even Close in many aspects. If anyone has completed simple research, they cannot deny the facts. It is clear that GM demonstrates some serious neglect in the XT6 engineering by fast-tracking its development. As a result, the XT6 became a stretched version of the XT5, which limited its development, therefore forcing comprises in function and performance. Indeed, the XT6 it attractive and functional, however, for five distinct reasons I predict that the XT6 will remain out of reach of the Lincoln Aviator in sales and owner satisfaction. These five keys areas are: Use of C1XX platform (stretched version of XT5); Front wheel drive; Use of 3.6L V6 (LGX) naturally aspirated Engine; No option of a Hybrid variant powertrain; MSRPs that are very close to each other. Regardless of these major points, when considering the XT6, you are simply looking at a well-dressed and rebadged Enclave, Traverse or Acadia that present with the simplest differences in grills, tailgates and dashboards. In sharp contrast, the new Lincoln Aviator is a truly redesigned luxury vehicle that cannot be mistaken for the 2020 Ford Explorer which shares the same platform. Lincoln did some serious homework and accomplished some serious engineering goals. Not only has Lincoln separated itself brilliantly from its Ford brethren, but it truly put a lot of distance between itself and the Cadillac XT6, as well as every other Foreign competitor in the same Class. The Aviator's size inside and out, as well as its base Twin-Turbocharged 400 HP V-6 engine are alone, enough to make it a much better value than the aforementioned threats. It is obvious that the Aviator was meticulously designed from bottom up. Although the Cadillac XT6 has its strengths, as a loyal GM customer for decades, I must regretfully admit that it still falls short in nearly every measure when compared to most other Mid-size Luxury SUVs in the same class. It is disappointing that the XT6 was conceived which such limited time and resources. Opinions aside, only future sales will definitively dictate who will come out ahead. Do your own research and buy wisely!

This SUV gives you the ride of a Cadillac. Roomy, comfortable interior. Plenty of amenities (we bought the enhanced visibility package). The comfortable ride over all types of surfacrs is what is most impressive to us. We turned in our CT6 with Panaray and like this Bose system better. The CUE system has been updated over our 2016.
