As Cadillac’s base model luxury SUV, the 2025 Cadillac XT4 is budget-friendly, sophisticated and has more than enough space to meet your needs. Let’s take a deep dive into what is new and improved in the 2025 Cadillac XT4 compared to the previous model.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- For 2025, there two trims in the XT4 lineup—last year’s Luxury Trim has been discontinued.
- The 2025 Cadillac XT4 is priced at $41,990 and $42,790. 2024 models were priced a bit less, at between $39,090 and $43,190.
- There haven't been many changes to the new model year; however, the automaker has made its formerly optional Active safety package standard across trims.
- This is the last model year for the XT4—GM has set it aside for the Chevy Bolt EV.
How do the Powertrains Compare in the 2025 Cadillac XT4 vs. 2024 XT4?
The powertrain stays very much the same in both model years, according to Car and Driver. The XT4 still features a 235 horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. While not overly powerful, it still has enough oomph to get you and your family from point A to point B without too much lag time, as it gets to 60 mph in about 7.0 seconds.
Front-wheel drive versions get 24 mpg/city and 29 mpg/highway. All-wheel drive drops those numbers by one in each category—23/mpg city and 28 mpg/highway.
What Is the Cabin Design Like in the 2025 Cadillac XT4 vs. 2024?
Again, as it is the last model year, the cabin remains the same, and for the most part, it is comfortable. Backseat passengers have more legroom than you would find in base models. Cargo capacity doesn't suffer either. It's about 22.5 cubic feet, and with the back seat down, 48.9 cubic feet.
The XT4’s fronts are heated and power-adjustable, and their four-way lumbar support makes comfort a given. The Sport adds power seat back bolsters to make your ride an even more lux experience.
How do the Infotainment Systems in the 2025 Cadillac XT4 vs. 2024 XT4 Compare?
Both 2025 trims feature the 33.0-inch dash display introduced in the previous model year, which combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen. Crisp graphics are seen throughout, and you can either touch its screen or access physical knobs if you need a more tactile sensation.
The infotainment system features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, seven-speaker stereo system and in-dash navigation as standard. There’s also an available AKG stereo system with 13-speakers to accompany you with a driving beat as you go.
