What Are the Engine Options for the 2025 Cadillac XT6 vs. 2024 XT6?
Powertrains have not changed for the XT6 in the model year. Buyers still get one of two choices—a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder as standard or an available 310-hp 3.6-liter V-6.
Both are paired with nine-speed automatic transmission.
The Luxury and Premium Luxury trims offer front- or all-wheel drive, and the Sport is all-wheel drive only. Meant for time on trail, the Sport features a torque-vectoring rear differential, fine-tuned steering, and 21-inch tires. Twenty-inch wheels come standard on the other trims.
The XT6’s four-cylinder models get a fuel rating of 21 mpg/city and 27 mpg/highway. V-6 models are 19/mpg city and 26 mpg/highway.
How the 2025 Cadillac XT6 delivers full-size luxury designed for families
Six- and seven-seat layouts are still the order of the day in the XT6 with second row captain's chairs or a three-seat bench. The first and second rows are spacious for all passengers, but the third row is a bit of a stretch for larger passengers—it can fit only two people. Cargo space is also somewhat limited, but lowering both back seats gives you ten times the amount of space to store whatever you’re bringing.
The XT6’s Jet Black leatherette upholstery is paired with Lunar brushed-aluminum trim for its base and gives the SUV a smart look. Upper trims give off a more elegant vibe with genuine leather and more colors to choose from.

The XT6 infotainment and tech also remains the same. An 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi connectivity, SiriusXM, and wireless charging. The Luxury trim adds an eight speaker audio system, and the top two trims add six more speakers with built-in navigation as standard (it’s optional on the Luxury trim.)
