Comparing Cadillac SUV Models: The XT4, XT5, and XT6

Cadillac has plenty of SUV models available right now. That means you have many options if you want to purchase an SUV from Cadillac’s current lineup. However, there are so many options that it can be hard to narrow them all down during the selection process. That’s why we’re here to compare three of those SUV models: the 2025 Cadillac XT4, XT5, and XT6. 

Let’s go over these SUVs’ similarities and differences to help you choose the right one for your lifestyle and driving style. 

Let’s Compare These Three Cadillac SUVs 

Power & Performance 

These three Cadillac SUV models have many similarities and differences when it comes to their power and performance. For example, the XT4 is different from the other two models because it only has one engine option: a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine that generates 235 horsepower. But the XT5 and XT6 have the same two engine options: the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine that generates 235 horsepower and an available 3.6L V6 engine that generates 310 horsepower. However, the 3.6L V6 is available on the XT5 Premium Luxury, but it’s standard on the XT5 Sport trim level. Additionally, the 3.6L V6 is available on both the XT6 Premium Luxury and Sport, but it’s not standard on any of the XT6’s trims. 

On the performance side of things, all three models have a Front-Wheel Drive powertrain and an All-Wheel Drive powertrain, and each powertrain has different fuel efficiency levels across models. Here’s how they vary from model to model: 

• 2025 Cadillac XT4 

• FWD: 24 MPG city/29 MPG highway/26 MPG combined 

• AWD: 23 MPG city/ 28 MPG highway/25 MPG combined 

• 2025 Cadillac XT5 

• FWD: 22 MPG city/29 MPG highway for the 2.0L 4-cylinder; 19 MPG city/27 MPG highway for the 3.6L V6 

• AWD: 22 MPG city/30 MPG highway for the 2.0L 4-cylinder; 18 MPG city/26 MPG highway for the 3.6L V6 

• 2025 Cadillac XT6 

• FWD: 21 MPG city/27 MPG highway for the 2.0L 4-cylinder; 19 MPG city/26 MPG highway for the 3.6L V6 

• AWD: 21 MPG city/26 MPG highway for the 2.0L 4-cylinder; 18 MPG city/25 MPG highway for the 3.6L V6 

Interior Seating & Cargo Volume 

The 2025 Cadillac XT4 is a small SUV, but the Cadillac XT5 and XT6 are both midsize SUVs. That means the XT5 and XT6 have a bit more room. For example, the XT4 seats 5 passengers and has 48.90 cubic feet of cargo space, while the XT5 seats 5 passengers and 60 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats down and 30 cubic feet of cargo space with them upright. The XT6 is the largest of these three models, so it seats 7 passengers and has 78.7 cubic feet of cargo space. 

Trim Levels & Starting Prices 

The Cadillac XT4 has two trim levels, while the XT5 and XT6 have three trim levels each. Of course, all those trims come at different starting price points (or MSRPs). Here’s how their trim levels and starting MSRPs break down across the three models: 

• 2025 Cadillac XT4 

• XT4 Premium Luxury: $40,795 

• XT4 Sport: $41,595 

• 2025 Cadillac XT5 

• XT5 Luxury: $44,295 

• XT5 Premium Luxury: $50,595 

• XT5 Sport: $57,195 

• 2025 Cadillac XT6 

• XT6 Luxury: $49,195 

• XT6 Premium Luxury: $55,395 

• XT6 Sport: $60,695 

The XT4 has the lowest starting MSRPs, while the XT5’s and XT6’s price points overlap a bit, since the XT5’s highest trim level is more expensive than the XT6’s lower two trim levels.
