Cadillac's reputation for luxuriously appointed vehicles is evident across all its current models, and thankfully, the Cadillac lineup offers something for buyers with varying budgets. The latest 2025 Cadillac XT4 hits the sweet spot.
Buyers of the 2025 Cadillac XT4, which in Cadillac speak stands for "Crossover Touring 4," may be getting a small SUV, but the XT4 is big on the luxury, comfort, and technology expected of the iconic Cadillac brand.
Stay with us as we share more about what this legendary American luxury automaker has packed into this small luxury SUV with an affordable price tag.
What's New for 2025?
For the 2025 model year, the XT4 continues as is from the current 2024 version, aside from some shuffling and thinning out of the trim levels and the addition of some previously optional safety features now fitted as standard across all trims.
The 2025 Cadillac XT4 small luxury SUV is available in a lineup of two trims, Premium Luxury and Sport.
Modern Exterior
The XT4 stands out in the particularly crowded small crossover SUV segment of the US vehicle market with its bold and sharp modern exterior design that will easily please the most critical shopper.
Last facelifted in 2023 for the 2024 model year, the Cadillac XT4 continues with its aesthetically handsome exterior, featuring a bold front end with an imposing black mesh grille with brightwork surround, flanked by the standard distinctive LED headlamps with IntelliBeam auto high-beam assist and signature Cadillac vertical LED Daytime Running Lamps.
Plentiful appointments seen on the XT4's exterior include:
- Rainsense automatic wipers

The exterior color palette for 2025 comprises eight modern, carefully curated choices to elevate the look of the XT4.
Luxurious Interior
The cabin of the 2025 Cadillac XT4 elevates the travel experience of all who board this spacious five-seater compact SUV.
As is expected of any vehicle wearing the iconic Cadillac badge, buyers will be impressed with the comprehensive array of standard interior features.
Curving towards the driver, an enormous 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.
Located a little bit lower on the XT4's center stack, Cadillac has fitted easy-to-operate physical toggles that correspond with a digital strip display to control the HVAC features.
The cabin experience is enhanced with an artful dashboard and upper door panels finished in stitched faux leather, while all-around passenger comfort is ensured with standard acoustic, laminated front-side, and windshield glass, keeping exterior noise levels down.
Some standout interior appointments include:
- Remote Start
- Manual rake and telescoping steering column
- Steering-wheel-mounted controls
- Eight-way power driver seat adjuster
- Six-way power front passenger seat adjuster
- Driver and front passenger visors
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Ambient lighting
- Premium carpeted floor mats
- Assist handles for the driver, front passenger, and rear outboard seating
Cargo and Passenger Capacity
The XT4 offers a spacious cargo area that measures 22.5 cubic feet behind the rear seat, which expands to create a generous cargo space of 48.9 cubic feet once the versatile 60/40 folding rear seatbacks are folded down. Handy cargo tie-downs are standard fare.
Passengers will not feel cramped at any time, even with all five seats occupied, thanks to the wheelbase of 109.4 inches that allows the cabin to offer 100.6 cubic feet of passenger space.
Engine and Performance
Both trims of the 2025 Cadillac XT4 lineup are fitted with a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine producing 235 horsepower @ 5,000 rpm and 258 pound-feet of torque @ 1,500-4,000 rpm.
The standard electronically controlled 9-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels only.
0-60 MPH Times
Testing of the XT4 in Sport trim by the leading automotive publisher Car and Driver sees the benchmark 0-60 mph acceleration test dispatched in 7.0 seconds.
Fuel Economy and MPG
EPA fuel economy estimates are 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined, allowing the XT4 to travel 366 miles for city driving and 477 miles highway driving before needing to fill up its 15.9-gallon fuel tank.
2025 Cadillac XT4 Drivetrain and Handling
The 2025 Cadillac XT4 benefits from its modern platform, which features the aforementioned drivetrain, with front-wheel drive only and no AWD option available.
Both trims feature a standard Driver Mode Selector that allows the driver to select how the vehicle responds and adapts in various driving conditions. These modes include Tour, Snow/Ice, and Sport.
The XT4 features a modern Macpherson strut front suspension system and a multi-link rear suspension to keep things tidy on twisting roads, plus the standard StabiliTrak, an electronic stability control system with traction control that automatically helps enhance control, particularly during emergency maneuvers, by adjusting the brakes and engine torque.
Standard Traction Control detects any wheel slippage and applies brake pressure and/or reduces engine power, assisting drivers in maintaining control when accelerating on wet or snow-covered roads.
