Funny, but in Europe Caddy applies to VW

I personally prefer the styling of the Xt5

@@vladrazym9955 we aint in europe partna

@@vladrazym9955 Caddy is so much older than vw and this ain't Europe.

Especially considering how the interiors are very similar.

Wrong. The xt6 is far superior to the jokes of the midsize luxury segment: Lexus RX and especially the Lexus TX😂

Or the Buick Enclave too 🤪

Those look better than this… this was a disappointment

Prepare to be disappointed 😂🤣😆 Why? Simple: it’s the TNGA K platform. It’s not space efficient. Plus since when does Toyota or Lexus surpass expectations? 12th of never 😆. They always continue to lower the bar for the automotive industry You’re already better off with the kia telluride or Hyundai palisade

It won’t be.

Have you ever had to change a tire on a road trip with a full trunk?

Heck even the 2.7T would be a big step up.

Well said, I don't necessarily have a problem with parts sharing when it comes to interior switchgear. But if I'm going to be spending that much money on a CUV that has the same powertrain as its lower end counterparts. No thank you. I mentioned in a separate comment a more modern engine lineup. Utilizing their current engines. Which would also give Cadillac's CUV lineup V-Sport models.

Yeah, if this was a chevy with competitive pricing with the palisade, ok maybe. I don't think the interior is competitive with the qx60.

Too logical, and probably more than GM wanted to invest. They like to use some really old engines for as long as possible. All of the outputs are low for the displacements. Other companies' turbo, 2-liter fours are getting 300 hp and similar torque numbers. This need a six to get similar numbers while the base turbo four is a weakling. Unimpressive in the extreme. Your proposed engine lineup would have been much more modern.

@@markmiller3279 Well I don't know why they didn't update the LTG for better NVH while also maintaining its power. It was producing 272 hp 10 years ago. Hell in the Camaro it produces 275 hp. Both with 295 lb-ft of tq. Instead we get the LSY with 237 hp and 259 lb-ft of tq. EPA rates it slightly better in fuel economy. But in real world driving its not going to be any better. As always GM misses great opportunities, my suggested engine lineup is more modern. While producing relative power and tq with the competition. They would have gotten their V-Sport CUV models while having up-to-date engines. They missed an opportunity with the Silverado and Sierra, they put the updated LT4 into the Escalade. But completely missed the market with the Raptor and TRX. Which are doing well for not only sales but bringing people into their dealerships. Giving them great PR, they don't need to sell all of them they just need to create traffic.

What if I told you companies other than GM made SUV's?

@@bfish9700 Thank you.

That’s super interested. I shopped for the Atlas and ended up with the XT6. The Atlas interior felt cheap and not luxurious (it shouldn’t be) compared to the XT6 and the dealers wouldn’t budge. The lease payment was only $15 less than the Caddy, despite hard negotiations in 2021 before the craziness of the supply situation

@@TheCoffeeField I agree. I sat in an Atlas at a car show a few years back and found the interior terribly cheap, full of hard plastics that aren't obvious in photos. It reminded me overmuch of the Jetta, which also has a crummy interior, even next to a Golf or GTI, which are far nicer. VW seems to think Americans don't care, or they've designed them for the Chinese market, where price is critical. The US is a minor market in comparison.

Agreed. The Cadillac XT6 really isn't a convincing luxury crossovee.

Hey, Brian is all right. He's super cute and speaks very well when he's prepared.

They gotta have that “Cadillac badge” on the front.

It’s really no different than a Lexus RX. At least the Cadillac has super cruise, leather dash and doors, leather airbag cover, lots of wood trim, and a smooth v6. No RX right now offers any of these yet it too can get very expensive while still being based off of a Toyota Camry platform

I would go with the Buick Enclave before this

Which don’t exist at this current point in time for anybody because of supply shortages…

In house GM design.

I disagree with you, D. The XT6 is (IMHO) the best car I've ever seen.

@@brianlee9233 wth is wrong with you

@@brianlee9233 I just think the interior pales in comparison to the Escalade and lyriq

i think the xt6 looks the best out of all the suvs in their lineup. also if you gonna compare it to the escalade interior, id hope the escalades is nicer if your paying an extra 40k

@@siptang81 agreed, but the lyriq is around the same price point and has an equal or even better interior than this.

Enclave is a lot better and nicer inside

Enclave is bigger. This is more related to the GMC Acadia.

This is much smaller than the Enclave and more expensive for no reason. Enclave is bigger and better value, other than "brand name" there is no reason to get the Cadillac.

@@Mgoblagulkablong sportier driving, real materials add to the cost

The Enclave is five inches longer. Not a huge amount, but something.

The MDX sells , X5 Sells, Q7 sells, GLE sells

@@rahimi4762 I'm in one of the richest parts of the country, and don't see many GLEs. The MDX is common, the others not too rare, but I think they have large profit margins, but don't sell in large numbers.

@@markmiller3279 I’m in New Jersey and every other luxury suv is a GLE or x5 🤷🏼‍♂️ I do see plenty of MDXs too though just not as many as I see GLE’s. I must live in a good area or something but I see these more then I see the Hyundai Palisade which was mentioned

NEVER bc they are all using a cheap transverse engine platform.

How cold is hell right now?

Doesn’t Lexus share lots of parts with Toyota? Many Lexus models share platforms engines transmissions hybrids phevs with Toyota Camrys and corollas in some form Yet I see more hate for Cadillac doing this than lexus

For me shared parts isn't an issue. While it keeps costs of production down, it also makes part finding quite easier. Can't find a part for your Lexus ES? Look for the same part from an Avalon of the same year. I guess the issue is when the interior of your "luxury" brand is too similar or the exact same as the mainstream model on which it is based, a la Acura Integra.

@@damilolaakanni I agree. And in the past it was definitely more apparent that some were just mildly nicer than their mainstream counterparts. But most now do offer a substantial difference in quality and design from the regular brand. Obviously there are exceptions to that, but it is definitely not as prominent as it used to be.

@@damilolaakanni well the Acura is based off a class leading civic anyway so it has good bones As for your Lexus ES vs Avalon comparison, why wouldn’t I just buy an Avalon and source the ultra luxury leather seats and put them in the Avalon?

last i checked in many others reviews all the manufacturers part share. Genesis info screen with Kia, ford buttons, pathfinder steering wheel with QX60.. miss your point sorry.

The acura beats this in every way it has *air suspension *16 way power seats with massage *50 more horsepower *better driving dynamics *more reliable *much nicer interior with colors like red white and blue unlike this ugly plastickh black interior *full digital guage cluster and 12.3 inch screen *rear sunshades and rear removable center seat in all trims Even the enclave has a nicer interior than this with the whote quilted leather and massaging seats

i saw high online

It’s a GM product so let that answer your question

weve had one for 2 years with 30k+ miles so far so good on our xt6 sport with AWD. the v6 they use in this model is one of the more reliable ones you can get on the market. as for as electronically who knows, but so far so good.

In what way does this even remotely look like a Dodge Journey?

Opel had a long history as a mainstream brand. They were in no way comparable to Cadillac anywhere. Cadillac mainly stopped selling in Europe after WW2 because they made huge, expensive, inefficient cars that weren't designed for European needs. By the time they tried to reintroduce the brand it still had that reputation and its products weren't outstanding enough to overcome it.

@@markmiller3279 no GM product will ever be outstanding enough to overcome it. They are a poor quality brand and their reputation precedes them.

This won’t stand a chance against even the kia telluride it Hyundai palisade

It has real wood grain and better performance s the mainstream but yeah you are right. This is a joke compared to MDX, XC90, X5, GLE

@@rahimi4762 It does not even have any better performance than mainstream models. Engine and transmission are 100% identical to GMC and Chevy.

@@rahimi4762 i have the xt6 sport AWD and a bmw x5, i actually love my xt6 more. i traded in my gle for the x5, gle was one of the worst cars ive ever owned. xc90 has like 1000 recalls and the mdx is just an mdx....

@@siptang81 that MDX Literally takes it poops on this..

Hyundai Palisade, yes. KIA Telluride? After the 2023 refresh, maybe, but not before.

Destroy is a little strong, but there’s little in it for $20K less.

Real wood grain, better leather, better performance, prestige name plate

lol ok

I cannot get inor out of the back seat of the Telluride or Palisade because their B pillars are too far back. They leave no room for my feet to clear.

I so agree. People buy these to carry a bunch of small kids. That back seat is plenty wide enough for three of those, and a center bench should at least be an option.

@@naveenthemachine At least an excuse can be made for the Lexus that it had been ages since it was redesigned. And Lexus recently gave a complete makeover to its RX. This XT6 soldiers fully unchanged and just as dull as when it debuted.
