If you’re looking for a smaller SUV that can provide spaciousness and comfort for every occupant, then give a Cadillac XT6 a look. Let’s break down its many offerings.

Spacious Interiors and State-of-the-Art Tech
For being a smaller SUV, the Cadillac XT6 accommodates up to seven passengers comfortably; even larger adults can fit in the third row seats without being cramped. To make things even more plush and relaxing for every occupant, the XT6 has heated and ventilated seats, Tri-zone climate control, an UltraView sunroof and air ionizer.
Now that people are covered, let’s discuss cargo and storage. Of course, the XT6 leaves plenty of room for whatever you’re hauling, thanks to its flat-folding third-row seats and easy-to-use controls at the cargo hatch and rear passenger door. Storage is 43.1 cubic feet behind the second row seats, 12.6 cubic feet behind the third-row seats and maximum cargo capacity is 78.7 cubic feet.
The XT6 has an user-friendly 8.0-inch touchscreen for its infotainment system, which features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are six USB ports, so you can charge up your devices from most anywhere in the cabin. The XT6 comes with a standard 4.2-inch control cluster display (that can be upgraded to 8.0-inches). A 14-speaker Bose audio system is available as an option in the base model over its standard eight-speaker system.
Cadillac XT6 Performance and Powertrain
Cadillac XT6 buyers have a choice of two engines. The Luxury trim comes standard with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder delivering 235 ponies and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the Premium Luxury and Sport get a 3.6L V-6 delivering 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. Both are paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The lower trims are front-wheel drive (FWD) with optional all-wheel drive (AWD), but the Sport has AWD standard.
The XT6’s six-cylinder engine gets 18-19/25-26 mpg city/highway, while its four-cylinder engine gets 21/26-27 mpg city/highway.
XT6’s Safety Record
As of this writing, this year’s XT6 has not been evaluated for safety ratings but it will no doubt meet the lofty reputation of the line’s previous year models. The 2023 XT6 won an overall five-star safety rating from the NHTSA, while the 2022 model won a Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. These accolades are likely due to its many safety features, which include:
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Front automatic emergency brake system
- Blind spot monitoring
- Automatic high beam lights
- Rear cross traffic alert
Higher-end features are available with an upgrade through the XT6’s Tech and Driver Assist packages. They include:
- Automatic park assist
- Adaptive cruise control
- Rear emergency brake system
- 360-degree camera system
- Super-Cruise hands-free driving system
