Each member of your family or social circle will have plenty of room to get comfortable thanks to three standard rows of seating for up to 7 passengers. Designed to match your own personal preferences, you can customize the cabin of the XT6 with exotic materials including authentic wood, carbon fiber, and metallic door accents. The most current iteration of Cadillac User Experience (CUE) helps you stay connected while a comprehensive collection of driver-assistive technologies helps you stay one step ahead of danger behind the wheel of the Cadillac XT6.

What the Critics Say

“The XT6 is about the same size as the Audi Q7, one of its primary competitors, yet it offers a roomier third-row seat. It’s also easy to reach that third row with second-row seats that slide and tilt forward. The Q7 is one of our top-rated luxury three-row crossovers, but on this score, the XT6 beats it handily.” — Edmunds

“The XT6’s interior integrates technology seamlessly without any of the frustrations we found in recent Acura, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz models, where the controls can be confounding. The dashboard is uncluttered, with only a touch screen in the center and buttons and switches for climate control beneath.” — Consumer Reports

What’s New for 2022

There are a number of exciting updates and revisions to the Cadillac XT6 for the 2022 model year. XT6 Sport trim levels now come equipped with high-performance Brembo brakes with red-painted calipers. Other changes to the available Platinum package includes the addition of a steering wheel wrapped in Modena leather, replacing last year’s Turin leather. Finally, all models now come standard with power-folding exterior mirrors.
