The XT4’s 2.0L Engine Provides Exceptional Performance
The 2023 XT4 comes equipped with a single engine option in the form of a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder that is capable of producing an impressive 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. This notable power allows the XT4 to tow up to 3,500 lbs and carry a 1,300 lb payload. It also gets considerably good fuel efficiency, getting 23 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway. Driving an SUV doesn’t mean you have to compromise on fuel economy. The 2023 Cadillac XT4 allows you to make fewer stops at the pump and keep more money in your wallet. The 2.0L engine also comes paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, allowing for smoother shifting due to the higher number of gears. Along with the smooth shifting comes less wear and tear on the transmission, meaning a more comfortable driving experience and a longer-lasting transmission.
Cadillac Puts Luxury in Every Mile
How fun is the Cadillac to drive? How is the air conditioning? What creature comforts are included? Cadillac has been around for over a century, and when you think of Cadillac, luxury is the first thing that comes to mind. There is a reason even the base model of XT4 is called the Luxury model. Even the most basic Cadillac vehicles provide you with luxurious features not found in its rival’s base models.
Let’s start with the driving experience standard features. Imagine starting the XT4, turning on the dual-zone climate control, and heading out on your daily commute. As you merge onto the highway, you turn on the adaptive cruise control for a stress-free drive. As you proceed down the highway, you notice how quiet the cabin is. Between the high-quality insulation, comfortable suspension, and active noise canceling, you are enjoying one of the quietest rides on the market. The paddle shifters also allow you to control your automatic transmission if you’d like to stay in control all the time or if you need the extra torque provided by lower gears.
The 7-speaker audio system lets you fill the car with your favorite music, podcast, audiobook, or radio station. For true audiophiles, you can upgrade to the Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound system. Control is only a tap away with the audio, select apps, and other car features from your 8-inch multi-touch color screen with personalized driver profiles, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Teen Driver technology. This SUV is even Wi-Fi hotspot capable. Keep track of your XT4’s stats and facts in the 4.2″ Driver Information Center. The XT4 has available On-Star & Cadillac Connected Services, allowing you to have assistance within easy reach at all times. On the steering wheel, you’ll find all the mounted controls for your audio, driver info, and cruise control settings.
Cadillac has designed its XT4 with cargo lighting, illuminated entry lighting, and available ambient interior lighting. Sounds like this SUV can do pretty much anything, doesn’t it? Looking to get a massage behind the wheel? The XT4 offers available front-passenger power lumbar massage seats. Enjoy your short and long-haul drives with the adjustable seats, upgradeable to have lumbar support on both driver and front passenger seats, while leather seats are available in the Premium Luxury trim options. Even though Atlanta doesn’t get too cold, we do have some frigid and wet rainy days. For such occasions, Cadillac does have options for heated seats for driver and passenger seats, even a heated steering wheel.
How the XT4 Keeps You Safe
Driving is fraught with many challenges, distractions, and unpredictable situations. Thankfully, technology is advancing rapidly in the area of driver assistance and safety features. The HD Rear Vision camera comes standard on all trims and allows great visibility while reversing your SUV, allowing you to see and avoid obstacles quickly and easily. Also standard with the camera comes the Side Blind Zone Alert, which alerts you to obstacles that may be outside the range of the camera. Another notable safety feature that comes standard is the Safety Alert Seat, which provides a vibration to alert on the left, right, or both to alert you of the direction a potential collision may be coming in so you can react accordingly.
Available upgrades to your XT4 include the Enhanced Visibility Package, including Rear Pedestrian Alert, a Rear Camera Mirror with a washer, HD Surround Vision, and Automatic Parking Assist with braking. This package allows you to confidently and safely move around parking lots, driveways, and other tight spaces where you want to check thoroughly around your SUV every time you move it.
Another great available upgrade is the Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning which helps keep the vehicle centered in your lane while driving down the road. A Following Distance Indicator can help keep you at a safe distance from the car in front of you while cruising down the highway. Front and Rear Park Assist is available to help ensure you don’t accidentally tap the car in front or behind you while parking, especially when parallel parking. Finally, an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror is another great feature. All these safety features will allow you to confidently tackle the road, knowing that the XT4 is looking out for you.
