I just picked up my 2022 XT6 Premium Luxury earlier this week and I absolutely love it! Great value for the money, premium features, smooth ride, good tech and solid fit and finish. Glad to finally buy an American brand again.

I like it! Great 3rd row room. And, I agree, that powertrain is really seamless and smooth!

No way I'd spend 70k on this when we now have Hyundai/Kia killing it for less then 50k

hands down. Best auto review. I always watch your video thoroughly before considering any vehicle. The depth you cover is unmatchable.

The XT6 is really pretty and practical, but that’s about all it has going for it as far as I’m concerned. Quality doesn’t measure up to the price tag, the 400 badge is less than meaningless, and it’s FWD in a sea of RWD competitors. It doesn’t bring anything new to the game. It’s not off-road capable, it’s not terribly sporty, and it’s not extra comfortable comfortable. It’s very average and average just doesn’t do in today’s world

My first time watching one of your videos! Thank you for being so thorough in your explanation! Especially with showing us the second and third row of the vehicle.

The problem with having too many brands is the inability to price this competitively, particularly given the proliferation of once "premium" features downmarket. Even if you were to shop purely within the GM portfolio, there's absolutely no reason to buy one of these over the Enclave Avenir. In typical GM fashion they'll probably lease this out at MDX pricing to get any sort of meaningful volume.

Very nice looking car. But I still think that you could load up the new Toyota Highlander and get better bang for buck with basically same features.

The fly in the ointment 😂. ❤️ priceless Alex.

Great video

Honesty I love Cadillacs naming scheme because I'm slightly into engineering. 😅

Wow Alex. This SUV is amazing! The XT6 is totally worth the price.

Just got a Sport AWD demo model (60k sticker) for 44k and change after all available discounts. Felt like a good deal.

great job

Cadillacs are supposed to have full sized seats. For a Cadillac to have a seat bottom with a short ledge is completely counter to what a Cadillac should be no matter the characteristics the company might be targeting. In person the Aviator is very beautiful and though I love Cadillacs I’d say that its real presence takes up a place in a driveway more regally than the Xt6. Lincoln’s seats are most likely going to become hallmarks for the brand and expected in all of Lincoln’s vehicles eventually in contrast. I have a feeling that Ford is waiting to send Alex an Aviator until they’re confident that they’re sending a product produced after they correct some known production problems with their new plant. I have a feeling that there will be a software update for the transmission and then they’ll send Alex an Aviator to review. Hope that goads Lincoln into sending you one soon. Good luck Alex

Is it just me or is every vehicle by GM overpriced by 10-20k?

Alex did you this vehicle is 75k man the prices of new cars are too dam high

Hi Alex, hope you can make a video to compare xt6 sport and enclave avinier (and premium). I wonder which one is a better buy in term of handling. xt6 sport have dual clutch and adaptive suspension. enclave premium has dual clutch too. And avinier has adaptive suspension too. which one will be a better package overall?

All the suvs pricing is getting ridiculous. They can go up to a mortgage payment whether it’s starting msrp is around 80,000 and go up to 100,000. I wanted a suv at first but considering on luxury sedan cheaper and trunk space great as well . Thanks for doing a detailed review with comparison chart . I love your detailed reviews ..

All new 2021 Genesis GV-80 blows it away for less $$$$$$

Please review the new ct5!

Glad the video is back imma hurry and watch it before it disappears again lol what happened

Exterior looks great, but the interior is a huge disappointment.

Nice I like it 👌👍

I'm amazed at how hard it has been to find a legitimate comparison test between the xt6 and the aviator!!! I'm wondering why?

400 newton meters? Americans can't even convert C to F...lol

Is that SD card slot dedicated to the navigation system? My mother has the CT6 2019 and that is the case. I wish they would bring back live record/rewind for the radio.

Seen it in person, it actually looks nice. Not a fan of vertical turn signals though.

Exterior looks good. I dig it. Looks way better in person..especially with the sport taillights. However, I don't like the interior. I don't like it on the wonky looking xt5 and I don't like it carried over on the xt6. It already looks dated to me. Wished they would have taken a bigger styling risk with the interior.

I think you are being far too kind to this car. It's a warmed-over GMC being rushed to fill a hole in Cadillac's lineup. The front seats are far below the competition in adjustability, there's only basic adaptive cruise-control rather than SuperCruise, the gauge cluster and engine are from the Chevrolet parts bin, and the cargo room is sub-standard. I would buy a Telluride in heartbeat before buying this car, to say nothing of the more premium brands. We actually owned a 2004 SRX and even that car was less premium than it could have been, but it was unique in terms of capabilities and dimensions at the time. There's far superior competition now.

Many places selling the Premium level of this for less than 49K (>5K off). Caddy is feeling the pricing pressure from Kia/Hyundai.

They really need to improve their front seats, compared to the competition. Although a pretty good engine, Cadillac needs to offer at least 1 alternative with more power.

Front license plate holder was mounted crooked...LOL!

OMG glad I found this I was literally hesitating to buy it but it's good tho thank ya muah~~😘

The XT5 and XT6 are almost the same size (considering they are on the same platform). The XT6 is slightly longer with a more upright rear end to accommodate the third row. That 400 badging is for GM's primary market... China. In China, big displacement and high cylinder count is socially frowned upon, so instead they advertise torque in the units China uses. This way whether its a 2.0 turbo inline 4 or a 3.6 v6, people don't get shamed for having a bigger engine. This is also why volvo's top engine is a turbocharged, supercharged inline 4 with a plug in hybrid. They refuse to make a bigger engine since volvo is now Chinese. On the note of that engine, it needs to go, period. The 3.6 was never a good engine, its revs are way too high and its power is way too late in the band. They need to hurry up and switch over to the 2.7 inline 4 and make a 3.9 inline 6 based on the same platform and ditch the v6 and even the 6.2 v8. Also the V6 in the traverse and enclave is a modified version from the main one. It has larger valves, which get it less fuel efficiency, but much more lower end torque. The XT6 is also on the shorter wheelbase for the C1XX platform, vs the traverse and enclave, which are on the long wheel base. This give those two room for the extra third row seat, while this shares many dimensions with the acadia The midsize pickups also have their own version, but I can't remember what is different about it. This platform is not suited for luxury vehicle use, the drivetrain is blah, fwd is blah, the interior is blah. It works great for a 30,000 dollar traverse, not so much for a 75,000 dollar XT6. They need to take the CT6 platform and turn it into a CUV. Give us some rear wheel drive, a 2.7 turbo or a V8, that fine finish the CT6 has ect. The XT5 and XT4 need the same upgrade to their respective RWD car platforms since like you said, most CUV's are lifted wagons with higher rooflines.

If I was a dealer I would remove ever badge of "400" or whatever Newton numerics off ever vehicle. No GM just no

New? No way, used? Oh yea. Love this car, I got my SRX for $18,000 used, I know I won’t get this for that cheap lol, but for $30,000 with like 50K Miles on it, I am *so* there.

Liked for Alex not the car

Alex, I agree with you. While I like the Cadillac XT-6, both the interior and exterior, this car shouldn’t be coming in at over 60,000

Are you sure the 70,000 was in US dollars?

great review alex very thorough. you touched on my thoughts, in that this is a pos, or woftam if you will. audi q7 destroys this.

Reminds me of the Mercedes R-class body proportions. Beautiful exterior, but engine and outdated interior doesn’t match look. Transverses have a bad rep for transmission problems near the 20k miles.

The Nm number at the rear end is rather telling where Cadillac's main market really lies - in a market where torque is measured in Nm & that isn't in Europe (hint starts with a C ends in an A).

The Volvo XC90 is still ahead overall. The pricing, style, and efficiency is just better. This coming from an XC90 owner.... I know I know, biased.

Really like the looks but the price compared to like a Telluride with almost same features makes it tough to justify

Who pays full price for a GM product? Between my 2016 Silverado 1500 LTZ and my 2019 Silverado 1500 LTZ I saved over $25K over the factory sticker price for the two.

Love your objective non biased reviews. Redline Reviews can learn a lot from you. This vehicle seems to be positioned to give the Escalade room to breathe. The Aviator makes you wonder if the standard wheelbase Navigator is worth the money. The Aviator is a formidable competitor to all the vehicles in this class, not just the XT6. Overall, the XT6 seems to be best at the base price and equipment level. Comparably equipped competitors cost the same or more.

It's really funny to see a lot of reviewers and normal peoples compare the XT6 with the KIA Telluride and Hyundai Palisade. Anyway the Cadillac XT6 in my opinion is a HUGE let down. Boring interior, small touch screen and overpriced.

For this car to be worth the price, it needs to come with the upper trim level of the interior package on the brand new 2021 Escalade, all decked out with curved OLED screens. Otherwise, noth even worth being on my shopping list unless there is $20k on the hood!

Lincoln is kicking Caddy's ass in every new SUV they release The Escalade will be big time, but Caddy is in trouble This is not on the Aviator's level. The new CT5 sucks too! It's gonna be a long 5-7 year sales draught for Cadillac

Absurd price for a vehicle that offers nothing more than significantly less expensive ( and probably more reliable) competition. So many options out there for $20-25k less with better features, better mileage and more reliability. Another GM loser.

No mention of the new Genesis GV80?!

Is it just me or not? Why do I always see a car when I look the front end of XT6?

Why didn't Cadillac put the 3.0t engine from the CT6 in this? This seems more of a competitor to a mdx or rx than a XC90. The interior doesn't look that much different from an Envinsion/Enclave. I'm sure it drives nice but is this $25000 nicer than a Telluride/Pallisade/CX9?

I'm trying to pay attention to the car review, but your pants are tighter than the 3rd row of the 2020 Highlander.

Try Kia and Hundia if Cadillac name meant nothing to you. I had enough with the Cadillac brands by the time I paid it off they got oils leaked and died too it’s the truth I love Cadillac before but now no thanks Cadillac .

Only if money is not an issue, buy whatever works for you. Otherwise, if money is an issue buy whatever works for you. But always remember , safety first!

My 2013 Chevy Impala has the same 3.6L V-6 engine as this Cadillac, the Cadillac cost $75,000 with only 10 extra horsepower and I paid a little more than $7,000 for my Chevy, not a good look GM.

I stopped watching at 10:00 how is the designer of CUE not fired?

Not a Fan at all here. Same engine for how long and used in my Chevy Impala, a Traverse Etc. Cadillac use to have it’s own engines. The Interior is not to my eye attractive at all and the placement of the lane Keep button is rediculous. Who thought that was a wonderful idea? I am trying to see the quality here and I just don’t see it. Palisade looks richer.

Enjoyed the last iteration of the "Art and Science" Caddy designs. All these new ones look so bland and more economy.

Who installed the front license plate bracket? It’s crooked.

The Lincolns look more graceful. I'm SICK of naming cars with stupid letters which are confusing and mean NOTHING to me.

5 or 6k off? I'd be shocked if you can't put a 1 in front of those during sale periods. Caddy never intends to get remotely close to MSRP.

Just got a 2020 XT6 for 55k leased it.

I still don’t understand why Cadillac doesn’t use their rear drive platforms for all their suvs ... so confused

$75K! Now Enters the Genesis GV80 Bad form Cadillac, no thank you.

All the XT6's I see for sale are between 58 and 68k.

Is this better than the drango rt?

No way I'm paying $74k for one of these. Around here you can find a Premium Luxury for just under $54k. As far as some comparisons he made I simply don't like the looks of the MDX or the Audi. I had a terrible experience with Volvo years ago so would not consider that. Personally like the xt6 but we're all different.

Maybe I’m in the minority but I didn’t like the 9-speed in an Acadia Denali I recently drove that much. It wasn’t as smooth as my the 10-speed in the Camaro I drive. Also the first gear is way to aggressive. I don’t understand why I can’t start in second gear. Honda vehicle allow you to start in second gear. Same with my Camaro don’t know why they won’t allow me to start in 2nd gear. Also unlike my Camaro which can go into V4 mode at 90-100mph sometimes, the highest speed the Acadia would manage with V4 was around 50mph I think with the car loaded. I never saw it turn on above 70 for sure. Seems kinda useless tbh.

After seeing the interior design of the new Escalade this thing looks so ancient.

Why does this remind me of a ......................station wagon. The Chevy and Buick versions of this make a lot more sense unless you just gotta have that Cadillac badge. The carbon fiber stuff in the interior is not upscale, just the latest gimmick. Another good thorough Alex review. 👍

My Jeep Renegade has 4-way lumbar...

That Art & Science grill just doesn't quite fit here in my opinion. Than bottom chin is just a little to wonky, they should've made the pentagonal grill a smidge taller.

Clearly this Cadillac was not meant to be bought by North Americaners or they wouldn't have put that 400Nm (Newton-meters) script in the back.

The drivetrain and interior of this vehicle isn’t worth $80k period. Let’s me honest, doesn’t this feel like a modern day Saab SUV? I love Cadillacs need fascia and design language but the quality here isn’t going to hold up....

Wow I gave this video 12 minutes, and don't want this POS. Now normally I am not that strong but the Volvo XC90 is light years ahead of this car. This is sad. Cadillac shows the cheapening GM is famous for. To some extent Ford is the same way. They just hide it better. I have no desire whatsoever to even think of this vehicle. The competition smokes it. Standard of the World can't even get out of it's own backyard. Shame on Cadillac and GM for another total Schiit wagon! Love your videos Alex as they are always complete and comprehensive.

I could use something like that, I just don't wanna pay for it. BTW, great work as usual, Mr. Alex. That 400 on the rear, OMFG, GM, what a truck load of gimmicky B.S. WTFO. 🙄👎🏻 If you're so worried about numbers and pisser measuring contesting in a segment mainly shopped by women them make a V version with a TT BlackWing V8. 🙄 And again, WTFO with that 400Nm B.S.

To answer your question, I haven't been waiting for a Caddy. Don't make me laugh.

That number 400 is a wonderful example of GM nonsense. They pulled this number out of the same place where they sit. It's a number that Americans would not use. But none of the other numbers seemed adequate I suppose.

I’d take the following: 1. 2020 Highlander hybrid platinum 2. Durango SRT

Good bye GM Cadillac, hello Genesis GV80!

XT6 is just a boxier 3 row XT5.

Come on GM a 3.6 is a weak motor for a Cadillac it needs 3.0 twin turbo or a turbo charged 3.6 you have these engines if ford can have 400 horsepower in a explorer why can t you an cheaper to buy ???

Drove the Lincoln Aviator Reserve abour 110 miles and pretty sure its much much better than the XT6. But one issue I found with Aviator are thoae stupid shiny bezels, way more shiny and reflective than the less reflective aluminum semi gloss finished bezels in Cadillac. Apart from that the Lincoln brand is too good nowadays. But sadly peoppe still arent giving it enough attention. I feel Lincoln has become one of the best luxury car maker within 3-4 years back from what they used to be back n 2013-2015'

This reminds me of the first gen SRX which won multiple awards and had a terrible interior. Cadillac would go on to make a much nicer interior a few model years later. I think the new Escalade's interior will eventually make it down to the XT6. Though the Koreans have definitely changed the game i do like XT6, because it has its own identity it looks like no other vehicle inside in out. Hyundai and Kiaare looking amazing at a great value but copy the best of all the other automakers while adding there own flare to it. Either way i hope Ford and GM would focus on being the best not mediocre. Go USA go...

Well, even if Acura MDX's transmission would not be herky-jerky ZF transmission, which you said many times is the best transmission in the whole world, you would have found something bad to say about MDX, anyway, because it is an Acura.

The Lincoln Aviator has more horsepower, thanks to its twin turbo engine, and gets better gas mileage and it looks better

So expensive for the parts quality

I don't like the smiling grill. Vehicle makers should not make a grill look like a mouth. That is always a bad move.

Why’s this $25 grand better than a top spec Telluride/Palisade?

I'm serious guys, I'm gonna buy a bicycle.

The design of the XT6 is great, but overall I'm dissapointed. It's not worth $75,000, and the 400 badge is deciving in my opinion. The average buyer is gonna think it has 400hp because of that badge like the Aviator, and when they find out it dosesn't they won't be happy and they'll head straight to there local Lincoln dearlership!!

The side profile of this is very boring looking... There's no creases or anything distinctive about it. There's not even a slight slope with the roof that makes even the most boring crossovers look a little interesting. It looks a lot cheaper than it is. Also, Two Black Cadillacs is such a good song as well as the whole Blown Away album 😂👌

400 fig Newtons!!! oh well...

The V6 Chevy work truck I drive now vibrates like all 4 wheels are off balance by a solid 1.50oz when it goes into V4. It’s definitely gonna blow up. Plus the trans is about to take a crap. It’s got 78,000miles. When I tried to pass a shit tractor the other day, not even close to full throttle, it dropped completely out of gear and banged off the limiter making me look like a complete baboon not to mention the unsafe aspect of such a defect. Validation of my lifelong, Anti post-97’ GM stance. It’s completely shut up my GM fanboy helper. Pretty comical.

General Motors still thinks it is the 1960s where they can make mediocre stuff and charge a high price for it. The number of people left who will buy that, literally and figuratively, shrinks by the day. And now the Koreans are coming.

TELL ME A TIME YOU’VE HEARD ALEX SAY “UM”

Needs to be RWD based, like the Aviator. What on earth was GM thinking?
