Premium Interior
The XT4 Sport's interior offers an elevated and luxurious travel experience, as is expected of any vehicle wearing the iconic Cadillac badge.
Buyers will be impressed with the comprehensive smattering of standard interior features that even includes Active Noise Cancellation technology that helps keep the cabin quieter by canceling unwanted powertrain and road sound inputs.
An enormous curved 33-inch diagonal LED display offers impressive views of the customizable interface that serves as the command center for a suite of safety and driver assistance features.
Easy-to-operate physical toggles corresponding with a digital strip display control the HVAC system, while the passenger luxury experience is further enhanced with an artfully finished dashboard and upper door panels featuring stitched faux leather.

The 2025 Cadillac XT4 Sport is designed to seat up to 5 passengers in its two rows of seats. Total passenger space measures 100.6 cubic feet.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 XT4 Sport is fitted with a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that makes 235 horsepower @5,000 rpm and torque of 258 pound-feet @1,500-4,000 rpm.
A standard electronically controlled 9-speed automatic transmission is the sole transmission option, and drive is sent to the front wheels only.
0-60 MPH Times
While the XT4 is no sports car, this compact crossover still manages to dispatch the benchmark 0-60 mph acceleration test in a respectable 7.0 seconds.

Fuel Economy and MPG
The EPA fuel economy estimates for the XT4 are rated at 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined, which allows the XT4 to travel up to 366 miles in city driving and up to 477 miles of highway driving.

2025 Cadillac XT4 Sport Drivetrain and Handling
As already shared, the XT4 Sport makes use of a nine-speed automatic transmission that is electronically controlled. Power goes to the front axle with a 3.47 axle ratio.
A standard Driver Mode Selector allows drivers to select how the vehicle responds and adapts when encountering varying road conditions with Tour, Snow/Ice, and Sport modes.
The XT4 Sport is standard with a StabiliTrak electronic stability control system along with traction control that automatically assists the driver to maintain control, especially during emergency maneuvers. The ESC system will keep you and your passengers safe and sound by adjusting the brakes and engine torque.
Controlled and precise handling is courtesy of the MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension system at the rear.
Buyers can opt for available Active Sport Suspension that features continuous damping control technology that seamlessly adjusts to road conditions and adjusts damping forces every two milliseconds.
2025 Cadillac XT4 Sport Pricing
The slightly pricier of the two trim levels, the 2025 Cadillac XT4 Sport is available from $42,790 MSRP.

Sharing similar powertrains, the Premium Luxury, starting at $41,990, differs with features such as a bright accent front grille, satin aluminum longitudinal roof rails, illuminating door handles, and satin aluminum window surround moldings.
