The 2019 Cadillac XT4 is a compact luxury SUV with a starting price of $34,795. Competing in a crowded segment, the XT4 goes up against the likes of the BMW X1, Lexus NX, Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40. What sets the Cadillac XT4 apart from the competition is bold styling borrowed from the famous Escalade. Available in Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport trims.
The mid-level trim should suit most as it comes with leather, park assist and a power liftgate. The Sport trim is primarily comprised of cosmetic updates, like a unique grille design and larger wheels. Front-wheel-drive is standard, with all-wheel-drive being optional on all trims. Ride and handling characteristics are unknown, however it is expected that the XT4 will take after its larger XT5 stablemate, which offers a firm but composed ride.
