Cadillac CT4

Compact Performance:
2021 Cadillac CT4-V

November 28, 2020 by admin 4 Comments


V-Series performance comes to Cadillac’s smallest sedan.


2021 Cadillac CT4-V


Luxury car sales have fallen through the floor, but manufacturers must still offer a few sedans to be taken seriously in the segment. The Cadillac CT4 is the smallest of three sedans (two as of 2021) offered by GM’s luxury arm and represents the replacement model for the previous ATS. Notably, Cadillac is unique among American luxury marques as Lincoln no longer offers a sedan.

Cadillac prices the 2021 CT4 from $33,395 to $46,390, plus a $995 destination charge. Four trims are available: Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, and V-Series.

The CT4 seats five and comes with standard rear-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive. Customers have a choice of two turbocharged engines.

Exterior

If looks could kill, the Cadillac CT4 isn’t about that. Instead, we have the tamer looking of the two remaining Cadillac sedans – a somewhat buttoned-down version of the larger CT5. As for the palatial CT6, that model was discontinued in February, closing out the 2020 model year.

At the beginning of this century, Cadillac introduced its “art and science” design philosophy, which was represented by bold front and rear fascias, angular lines, deep cutouts, and a race-inspired motif. That theme wasn’t universally applied across the product line, but models such as the CTS coupe and especially the ELR plug-in hybrid advanced the look.

Fast forward to today and the design cues remain, although they’ve softened considerably. Indeed, the tighter overhangs of the previous ATS are now longer in the CT4, although the wheelbase remains the same. Some may envision the CT4 as non-descript, but we think that it’s simply a handsome sedan.

Interior

Exterior elegance meets interior panache and that’s what we want in a luxury model. The CT4 brings in clean lines with pretty materials blending luxury and sophistication. You need to move beyond the base model, though, to sense the full weight of its upscale propensities, including real leather hides, brushed metal trim, and expanded color choices.

The cabin is small and perhaps too constricted for the typical family. The front seats are comfortable, supportive, and offer ample room for a pair of tall adults. But that’s where the problem lays – if a pair of 6-footers are seated in the first row, what does that leave the second row? Not much room, I’m afraid.

Certainly, if the rear-seat passengers are children, especially those secured in car or booster seats, the seats are fine. For everyone else, the space separating the knees from the backs of the front seats just isn’t there – you need more space, but you won’t find it.

Another area where the CT4 is week is in trunk space. This one measures just 10.7 cubic feet and that’s about 50 percent below the average for the segment. Two people taking a road trip together without others in tow should find enough space for their cargo needs. That is, as long as they pack judiciously and forgo long items that simply won’t fit or, better yet, should occupy the second row.


2021 Cadillac CT4-V


Tech

The base CT4 comes with an 8-inch touch-screen display, an 8-speaker audio system, HD Radio, Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay smartphone compatibility, USB ports, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. That’s a decent roster of equipment for the standard Luxury model.

But we know that customers typically don’t choose the base model and we rarely recommend one. Moving up the package and trim range, such features as a 14-speaker Bose audio system, the Cadillac User Experience interface with navigation, and wireless phone charging come in. The latter is one of our favorite features found in contemporary vehicles.

Safety

Cadillac offers a mixed bag in safety features, particularly in the base Luxury trim. This year, Cadillac added automatic emergency braking to go with front collision avoidance with pedestrian braking. It’s a start, but you still have to opt for a full-range emergency braking system to get the complete benefits of this technology.

Two package upgrades bring in the remaining driver-assist features, including adaptive cruise control, enhanced automatic emergency braking and reverse automatic braking. An upgraded package adds such features as automatic headlamps, following distance indicator, lane departure warning, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Some mainstream brands offer many of these features as standard equipment, therefore Cadillac charges extra for them. On the other hand, the late-arriving Super Cruise system will bring in elements of semi-autonomous driving. We can’t say much about the system yet, although we’re intrigued by the “lane change on demand” feature.


2021 Cadillac CT4-V


Performance

The 2021 Cadillac CT4 is a tale of two engines. Both are four-cylinder units with turbocharger technology. The first engine utilizes twin-scroll tech, while the second features twin-volute engineering. Both kinds enhance performance while conserving fuel.

Most trims feature a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Power routes to the rear or to all four wheels utilizing an 8-speed automatic transmission. The most efficient version achieves 34 mpg on the highway. That’s impressive!

The second engine is a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. In the V-Series, this engine develops 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Power travels to the rear or to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Our test CT4-V with rear-wheel drive offered the enhanced engine. Initially, we were a bit cautious about what it could supply performance-wise, but those concerns soon evaporated once we were on the open road. Indeed, the CT4-V proved itself time and again – from its stellar step-off acceleration to its equally impressive and robust passing power.

We saw reports that the CT4-V goes from 0-60 mph in about 5 seconds. We won’t dispute those numbers. Importantly, it isn’t the speed that’s the most impressive factor. Instead, we found the workings of the 10-speed automatic transmission wholly satisfying. We’d prefer a manual option, but one wasn’t to be had. But with a fast-shifting automatic and paddle shifters, the connection was decent.

The CT4-V delivers a smooth and comfortable ride. It comes with an adaptive suspension system – Magnetic Ride Control – that’s tuned to deliver precise adjustments as you go. The electric steering was firm and we liked how this sedan handled on curvilinear roads. Certainly, that isn’t the extent of its handling prowess – this small sedan moves in and out of corners with ease. Yes, there was measurable body roll detected, but that’s expected of any model outside of a true sports car.

Is there any room for improvement? Absolutely! And it comes in the form of an upcoming CT4-V Series Blackwing model that should appear next year. Rumor has it that it’ll feature a twin-turbo V6 engine. If it does, then 400 horsepower is within reach and that’s awesome!


2021 Cadillac CT4-V


Competitive Set

Like the previous ATS, the CT4 counts the BMW 2 Series, Audi A3, and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class among its competitors. The Alfa Romeo Giulia is another model that comes to mind.

As for the CT4-V, you’ll want to compare it to the Audi S3 and BMW M235i.


Our Recommendation


Our test model was, of course, the CT4-V. It has all the performance attributes you want in a small luxury sedan outside of a twin-turbo V6.

As for the CT4-V, the only feature we’d skip is all-wheel drive. That’s assuming you’re buying this car for its superior performance and handling attributes, and not for its grippy attributes on slick roads, including those covered in ice and snow.

Cadillac Gets Most Things Right
With the XT6 Crossover

November 5, 2020 by admin 2 Comments


The XT6 makes three Cadillac utility vehicles.


The look of luxury is evident inside and out with the 2021 Cadillac XT6.


As GM’s luxury brand, Cadillac is tasked with delivering to customers the ultimate in design, opulence, tranquility, and technical prowess. The marque largely meets its mission through the varying vehicles it currently offers.

The Cadillac of old is gone – there isn’t a land barge in sight, although the burly Escalade certainly gets a nod. Also, it’s that very same Escalade that remains the only model that hasn’t assumed Cadillac’s current nomenclature, with sedans starting with a CT followed by a number (e.g., CT4 and CT5) and the utility vehicles doing likewise (XT4, XT5, and XT6).

At the moment, Cadillac doesn’t have an electrified vehicle to show for it, but that will soon change when its first “LY” family of vehicles debuts. The LYRIC is on schedule for a 2022 debut for the 2023 model year. It’s an all-electric utility vehicle.

Our test model is the latest Cadillac newcomer that isn’t the all-new Escalade. The XT6 is a midsize, three-row crossover that was introduced in 2020 and features a new “Luxury” trim for 2021.


2021 Cadillac XT6 Review


Cadillac prices the 2021 XT6 from $47,995 to $58,190, plus a $995 destination charge. Three trims are available: Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport. The XT6 is a front-wheel-drive model that seats up to seven. All-wheel drive is available across the model line.



Exterior

We’ve seen the Cadillac design evolve over the past two decades or ever since this marque introduced its “art & science” schematic. In more recent years, Cadillac relaxed the edginess, but not dramatically. Its upright stance and pronounced angles supply definition; the XT6’s broad grille and sentry-like vertical taillamps evoke strength.

The XT6’s profile doesn’t have the standout look of the front end, as it offers a look familiar to the segment with its squared roof and high profile. Defining features such as character lines, body sculpting, and customized wheels are familiar expressions. That’s not a bad thing as a more conservative-oriented layout essentially rules the segment.

The list of standard features includes automatic high-beam assist, power-adjustable and heated manual-folding side mirrors, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a power liftgate. Move up to the Premium Luxury trim and Cadillac brings in front rain-sense wipers, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a hands-free power liftgate.

Move up to the Sport edition and this one features black trim across the grille, roof rails, and exterior accents. Special 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels are standard.



Interior

The XT6’s interior upholds the brand’s upscale appeal with choice materials, including available leathers, wood trim, and metallic touches supplying sophistication. Further, the look only gets better once you begin your search with the Premium Luxury trim, which was last year’s base trim.

Some manufacturers choose a “busy” interior layout with multiple layers, contrasting colors, and various materials to supply distinction. The XT6’s dashboard is layered from the driver side to the center stack, then eases into a singular panel that’s above a lacquered wood panel. Equally, the center stack shows restraint with few switches to interrupt the flow. Notably, the available wireless charging port at the base of the stack is a welcome feature – it’s our go-to upgrade when one is sought.

Most trims come with seven-passenger seating, while the Sport edition holds six. As mentioned, the XT6 shares its platform with the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse, but its more than seven inches shorter between the wheels. The result is a slightly smaller interior, especially in the storage compartment.

For example, the XT6 measures just 12.6 cubic feet behind the third row, while the Enclave has 23.6 cubic feet. With the third row folded, the Enclave has 58 cubic feet to the XT6’s 43.1 cubic feet. Behind the first row, the Enclave’s cargo space measures 97.6 cubic feet to 78 cubic feet for the Cadillac. To be clear, the Buick and Cadillac have matching first- and second-row legroom space, with the Enclave offering a few additional inches for the third row.

Cadillac equips the XT6 with imitation leather seats, power front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and three-zone climate control. Move up to the Premium Luxury trim and this model features leather seating, wood accents, an automatic heated steering wheel, and a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column.

Advance to the Sport trim and the features remain the same. However, shoppers have the option to choose six-passenger seating by swapping out the middle-row bench seat with captain’s chairs. That’s our preferred seating layout for this segment.

There are also several package options available for further customization. We won’t break them down, but we can say that such features as semi-aniline leather seats, a leather-wrapped instrument panel, illuminated front door sill plates, and unique interior trims are available. Further, other available amenities include ventilated front seats, heated outboard second-row seats, and illuminated cargo sills may be worth your consideration.



Tech

Cadillac equips the XT6 Luxury trim with an 8-inch touchscreen display with voice recognition technology. This model also comes with Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, and four USB ports. An 8-speaker Bose audio system is standard. Satellite radio and wireless charging is also available.

Move up to the Premium Luxury grade and several upgrades become available, including a 14-speaker Bose audio system, navigation, and a Night Vision system. Wireless phone charging is standard beginning with this trim.

Safety

We’re generally pleased with Cadillac’s safety offerings with the XT6. Automatic emergency braking is standard as is GM’s OnStar suite of emergency and roadside assistance package. All trims come with forward collision alert, following distance indicator, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, front and rear park assist, and an HD rear vision camera.

Beginning with the XT6 trim, Cadillac offers a Driver Assist Package ($1,300). This one combines adaptive cruise control with automatic seatbelt tightening, enhanced automatic emergency braking, and reverse automatic braking.

If there one thing we don’t like, then that would be that the Driver Assist Package requires opting for the Enhanced Visibility and Technology Package ($2,350), which includes a head-up display, an HD surround vision camera system and recorder, rear pedestrian alert, a rear camera mirror with washer, and automatic parking assist with braking. We like the tech package, but we don’t think it should be a requirement to access the Driver Assist Package.



The Cadillac crest has changed in recent years, losing its wreath in 2014. As for the XT6, only the brand’s logo is evident on the exterior. There is no sign of “Cadillac” anywhere on its surface.


Performance

For its first year, Cadillac offered one engine choice for the XT6. Now in its second year, a second engine arrives, slotting in below the previous offering.

The standard engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This engine also serves the XT4 and the XT5, but in the XT6 it’s tasked with moving an additional 400-plus pounds over the XT5. That’s a big ask for such a small engine.

We didn’t test drive an XT6 with the new base engine, so our comment is based largely on practicality. Specifically, on how difficult an engine must work to motivate any vehicle, including one fully loaded with passengers and all their gear. Certainly, the base engine gets it done, but its fuel economy edge is only 2 mpg over the V6. Further, its towing capacity is just one-quarter of the larger engine.

The better choice is the 3.6-liter V6 found in many other GM products. We first “discovered” this powerplant when we drove the 2007 Saturn Aura. Yes, Saturn and, yes, it was that long ago.

One thing we can say about GM is that when they develop a new engine they stick with it, make improvements as needed, and then disseminate it widely. That Cadillac uses this engine liberally isn’t really a surprise – other than the Blackhawk V8, this luxury marque shares much of its remaining running gear with the rest of GM’s brands.

Our XT6 Sport model came with the V6 and all-wheel drive. But it isn’t any ordinary all-wheel-drive system either – you must push a button to activate it, which means it works part-time or on-demand. Now, we aren’t sure why Cadillac chose this approach – the company certainly knows how to make an all-wheel-drive system that kicks in automatically or when you need it. The advantage, though, is apparent in fuel economy – when the system is active, our mpgs fell by about 5 mpg. Once we turned it off, it climbed back to where it was.

Yet, most shoppers simply don’t need all-wheel drive, unless they live in a snowy climate. That’s about half the country. That said, we recommend all-wheel drive if you frequent twisty roads, mountainous areas, or simply prefer the greater assurance such a system supplies when the roads are wet.

In our opinion, the V6 is ideally matched to the XT6. It supplies ample step-off acceleration and admirable passing strength. Mind you, we drove the vehicle with no more than two people inside and absent the gear families will take with them when going to faraway places. Still, we were pleased by how well the engine is a match for this crossover. We’d be remiss if we said nothing about the 9-speed automatic transmission: it fires off cogs with ease and works smoothly in the background, just the way we want it!

Like any high-profile vehicle, the XT6 does its share of rocking and rolling on twisty roads. However, we credit Cadillac’s sport-tuned suspension system with keeping this utility vehicle planted. The Sport edition comes with standard adaptive dampers and a quicker responding steering ratio, the latter for a more engaging driving experience. That’s everything for some crossover owners, including this driver.

Is there a demerit of note? Yes, there is. Notably, while most models in this segment pull around 5,000 pounds, the XT6 tops out at 4,000 pounds. That’s a critical difference for some shoppers and something that could dissuade them from the Cadillac.



Competitive Set

The midsize, three-row luxury utility vehicle segment is filled with competitors. That Cadillac arrived so late to the segment may be attributable to its reliance on the Escalade to serve the market. But the Escalade is simply too large for shoppers in this segment and with the top models costing over $100,000, it’s about $30,000 more costly than the most expensive XT6. Clearly, the XT6 fills its mission.

Our survey of the luxury market reveals the following direct competitors to the Cadillac XT6: Acura MDX, Audi Q7 and Q8, BMW X6, Infiniti QX60, Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover Velar, Lincoln Aviator, Lexus GX, Maserati Levante, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Tesla Model X, and the Volvo XC90. Most competitors offer standard front- or rear-wheel drive. Each one supplies all- or four-wheel drive.

We mentioned the Buick Enclave earlier. Although it isn’t a luxury brand, the Enclave Avenir pulls out all the stops. Other mainstream models with high-end trims worth comparing include the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, Mazda CX-9, and the Volkswagen Atlas.


Our Recommendation


We don’t recommend the Luxury trim mostly for the reason we mentioned earlier: the base engine simply isn’t the best fit for this vehicle. Start at the Premium Luxury level and you get the V6, a hands-free power liftgate, an automatic heated steering wheel, additional safety features, wireless phone charging, and a power-folding third-row seat.

Opt for the six-passenger seating compartment and you’ll have a roomier cabin with better middle-row seats. For under $60,000 the XT6 is well within the range of most of its competitors and that’s without available all-wheel drive.

Introducing the All-New Cadillac CT4

September 17, 2019 by admin 3 Comments

Cadillac CT4 shows marque’s renewed commitment to sedans.


2020 Cadillac CT4.

Think the sedan market is dead? Think again. At least that’s exactly what Cadillac wants you to do. Most definitely, sedans sales have fallen steadily over the past several years and will likely see them fall further as consumers embrace utility vehicles in greater numbers.

For its part, Cadillac is hedging its bets by expanding its SUV offerings and rolling out new sedans. The first new sedan is the midsize CT5, due this fall. Early next year, the CT4 will make its debut, a compact model. The CT6, a large sedan, is still available. Previous models, including the ATS, CTS, and XTS will eventually depart.

Cadillac introduced the CT4 last week through a social media campaign, eschewing the usual press event. That’s a risky move, given that influencers aren’t always able to reach the intended audience. In any case, that event is in the past, therefore we’ll examine what the CT4 holds for GM’s luxury brand.

1. Out with the old. In with the new. The 2020 Cadillac CT4 jumps in where the 2019 ATS leaves off. Both models share a 109.3-inch wheelbase, although the new CT4 is five inches longer. That said, Cadillac makes it clear the new model isn’t a refresh of the ATS, but an all-new sedan with updated powertrains to go with it.

2. Compact and athletic. A bold grille, strong shoulders, and a sweeping roofline mark the CT4. Lots of detail changes extend to the exterior lights, rocker panels, rear deck, and the wheel designs.

3. Rear- and all-wheel drive. Cadillac stays with a rear-wheel-drive platform with available all-wheel drive. This arrangement puts it on par with some of the best sedans in the class, including the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Genesis G70, and the Lexus IS.

4. Turbo engines, all the way. You won’t find a V6 or a V8 under the hood of a CT4. Instead, Cadillac goes with the twin-scroll turbo 2.0-liter inline-four with 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Also available is a dual-volute turbo inline-four with 309 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque. Choose the V Series and this engine bangs out 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque.

5. No manual transmission. Sadly, the 6-speed manual gearbox offered in the ATS doesn’t get a nod for the all-new CT4. Instead, the standard engine relies on an 8-speed automatic transmission for gear swaps, while the larger engine gets a 10-speed. The take rate for manual transmissions continues to fall, otherwise, you’d see one offered.

6. Feature-laden, as you would expect. Cadillac loads its vehicles with key features, including standard imitation leather seats, LED interior lighting, a premium audio package, and dual-zone climate control. Move away from the base model and leather seats arrive. On some models, you’ll find alloy pedals, a sport steering wheel with magnesium paddle shifters, and a Bose audio system.

7. Advanced safety features, as you would expect. The name of the game with automakers these days is safety, as in driver-assist technologies. The base (Luxury) CT4 will offer an HD rear vision camera, but you’ll have to move up to the Premium Luxury, Sport, and V-Series models to gain everything else. These features include forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, a safety alert seat, rear park assist, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert, front park assist, adaptive cruise control, enhanced automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, rear pedestrian alert, reverse automatic braking, and a head-up display.

Super Cruise and More

Cadillac says it will roll out its Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system sometime in the 2020 calendar year. Additional information, including pricing and release dates, will be offered later. We’ll also update our spec information at that time.
