That’s what we’re here to find out. Whether you're cruising city streets or heading out for a weekend escape, there's something undeniably special about each of these premium crossovers.
Side-by-Side Power You Can Feel

The XT4 comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that pumps out 235 horsepower, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting. The XT5 also starts with a 2.0-litre turbo engine offering the same 235 horsepower and identical torque at 258 lb-ft, but takes it up a notch with an available 3.6-litre V6 that boosts the numbers to 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. You’ll find FWD and AWD options in both, with fuel ratings of 24/29 L/100 km (city/highway) for the XT4, and 22/29 or 19/26 L/100 km depending on which XT5 engine you pick.
Tech-Forward Features for Today’s Driver
Inside the XT4, your eyes go straight to the 33-inch curved LED infotainment screen—sleek, modern, and packed with Google apps. The XT5 opts for an 8.0-inch touchscreen, offering the Cadillac User Experience system and crisp functionality. In terms of sound, you’ll enjoy AKG™ audio in the XT4 and Bose® premium sound in the XT5. Both feature wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and multiple USB ports.
Safety You Can Count On
When it comes to safety, Cadillac doesn’t hold back. The XT4 includes features like intersection automatic emergency braking and rear cross-traffic braking, while the XT5 offers front park assist, lane change alert, and a rear camera mirror with washer. Shared systems like adaptive cruise control, HD surround vision, and lane keep assist with departure warning are found in both, giving you peace of mind wherever you go.
