edmunds TESTED
With distinctive styling and a modern interior, the 2021 Cadillac XT4 makes a good first impression. The interior is comfortable and spacious, and the infotainment is impressive. But a closer look reveals cost-cutting measures and underwhelming performance. Noise levels, ride and steering all need to improve to reach the standards of the class.

From Buick Lacrosse to XT4, not looking back
5 out of 5 starsA. Collin MacDonald, 05/04/2020
2020 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
Traded in the 2017 Buick Lacrosse, excellent car, but had some serious problems from the factory, and Buick discontinued this model. We decided to buy an SUV this time, but did not want to buy a large SUV, but something that was smaller, easy to get in and out of, and provided more of a car like ride, with most of the accessories found on the Lacrosse. After looking at several models, … the XT4 was more in line of what we wanted.
My first impressions, easy to drive, excellent visibility, steering was very responsive, and turn radius was excellent. Braking was very good, minimal brake fade, and engine power was very good for a small car. From the drivers perspective, all accessories controls are within easy reach of the driver. However, I do miss the Heads Up Display, our XT4 did not have that option. We chose the Premier Luxury model, as it had all the safety and convivence features that we were looking for coming from a top line Buick. Seats are very comfortable and this SUV has excellent leg room, with the 8-way power adjustable seats, they meet all of our size differences. I am six foot one and wife is five feet, and everything adjusts to the extremes to make driving a pleasure. I found this to actually be quiet and smooth driving, and for us the engine power is enough. Another option we did not get that I wish it had was the telescoping steering wheel, but even without this option the seats adjust just fine for a excellent driving position. Love the automatic power rear hatch back, push button twice opens and push twice closes, you don't have to touch it. Information system is extremely CLEAR video, large screen that is sharp with good color and easy to work. Still has many options that I have not learned yet, as we just purchased the vehicle only a few days ago, Time will tell if this SUV was a good choice, but for now we are extremely pleased with our purchase.
Cadillac has a Winner With the XT4

2020 Cadillac XT4 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
XT4 is a small luxury SUV with unbelievable interior room. My 6’ 5” friend sat in Driver’s seat and I was able to sit directly behind him in backseat (I’m 5’ 10”) with room to spare.
Averaging over 29 mpg on the highway.
Great layout of controls - smart combo of buttons, control wheel, and responsive touch screen.
Cool white leather seats with red stitching and black side inserts.
Well … paired turbo 4 engine & 9 speed transmission (quick, smooth shifts).
Quiet interior, good breaks, comfortable ride.
6,100 miles with no issues.
Cadillac has a winner with the XT4.

2020 Cadillac XT4 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
after driving the vehicle for over a year overall I'm very pleased, as stated before it has all the options I wanted/needed. My only complaint is the vehicle has developed some annoying rattling in the interior roof and driver side door. Have to play my music loud so it's not a distraction but when I want peace and quiet it's very noticeable. Went to service two times and they can't … correct it, disappointed, shouldn't happen in a $50,000 + vehicle. Other than that have had trouble free miles (13,900). Wish it could be fixed.
Have 17,000 miles and still have annoying rattle from the roof, also developed a buzzing noise in the drivers side door, other than that have had trouble free miles. Overall still satisfied although I wish the ride was a little better on rough roads, impacts come crashing through. Would I buy again probably but hope the newer model has a better suspension (magnetic ride). Ater 18,595 miles still have the same dislikes, one other to add is for some reason the 360 camera goes out intermittently, took a picture but when I went for service they said it had to be out when I got there which is kind of silly as it can go out at any time, I would think by showing the picture of what the screen looks like they should be able to troubleshoot. Other than that stil four stars, just wish I didn't have to deal with the squeaky drivers seat and those annoying rattles from the roof and drivers side door panel. Lease is up in September of 2023.

2021 Cadillac XT4 Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
Went from a XT5 to a Xt4 because it is a little smaller. The interior, however is very spacious. I selected the luxury model with the safety package and it is plenty well equipped for me at an attractive price. The only thing missing is blind spot indicator, and I can't believe that a luxury brand like Cadillac wouldn't put turn signals in the mirrors on all vehicles.
