There have been rumors of the Cadillac XT6’s demise for a while, but we’re happy to say it’s around for the 2025 model year. In fact, it’s in showrooms now! Let’s dig into what this sporty yet elegant SUV has to offer.
Key Takeaways:
- Rumors abound that the Cadillac XT6 is being discontinued either after ‘25 or ‘26, but it may also be extended beyond that.
- There are a few changes for the XT6 in 2025 mostly having to do with color options.
- Expect major changes in 2026 or ‘27 (if the XT6 has not been discontinued.)
What is the Price of the 2025 Cadillac XT6?
The XT6 has been on the market since 2020 and so far has seen few changes. The 2025 model year remains very much the same as last year’s model; however, there are some color changes including new Blue, Red, and Bronze Accent packages, and new paint options in Midnight Sky and Emerald Lake. New features to the Premium Luxury and Sport trims’ optional Platinum package include Super Cruise hands-free highway driving and night vision. Expect a possible major refresh for 2026.
The 2025 Cadillac XT6 has three trims—Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport. It’s priced between $50,590 and $62,090.
Is the 2025 Cadillac XT6 Fuel Efficent?
You have two engine choices for your XT6:
- A 235-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder or,
- A 310-hp 3.-6-liter V-6.
Both are paired with nine-speed automatic transmission. With the Luxury and Premium Luxury XT6 trims you have the option of front- or all-wheel drive, but the Sport is AWD-only with enhancements like a torque-vectoring rear differential and fine-tuned steering for a more dynamic driving experience. Twenty-inch wheels come standard across trims, but 21-inch tires are available on the Sport model.
The EPA gives XT6 four-cylinder models a fuel rating of 21 mpg/city and 27 mpg/highway. (Highway mileage drops down to 26 with AWD.) V-6 models are 19/mpg city and 26 mpg/highway—AWD drops both numbers slightly.
How Many Passengers Can Fit Into the 2025 Cadillac XT6?
You get your choice of six- and seven-seat layouts with the XT6, courtesy of second row captain's chairs or a three-seat bench. The first and second rows are relatively spacious with head- and legroom of around 40 inches. Typically in most mid-size three-row SUVs, two passengers can be seated comfortably in the third row; however, it’s a somewhat tight squeeze for larger adults. Cargo space is a bit limited—only three carry-on suitcases can fit behind the third row. However, lowering both back seats frees up plenty of room—in fact, you can fit 10 times the amount in that instance.
The XT6 features Jet Black leatherette as its base upholstery; it’s paired with Lunar brushed-aluminum trim for a clean look. Upper trims flaunt the elegance with genuine leather and more interior colors.
What Technology Is Found In the 2025 Cadillac XT6?
All XT6 trims feature an 8.0-inch touchscreen, with Bluetooth, wirelessApple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, and Wi-Fi connectivity, and wireless charging. The Luxury trim features a Bose audio system with eight speakers, while top two trims add six more and built-in navigation as standard (the navigation system is optional on the XT6 Luxury.)
