We’ve already told you all about the all-new 2020 Cadillac XT6. And now, we finally have gotten our hands on official specifications for the three-row “midsize plus” crossover SUV.
The specs don’t reveal much that we didn’t know before, but do give us a better idea of the crossover’s size, especially its length and wheelbase. In all, the XT6 rides on a wheelbase that is only 0.2 inches longer than that of the midsize XT5, while being 198.8 inches long – 9.3 inches longer than the XT5.
All of that additional length is added after the rear wheels and to the rear overhang, creating sufficient room for the third row and more cargo capacity, as well. But for that reason, the Cadillac XT6 is not exactly a full-size crossover. Instead, it’s a “midsize plus” model that’s bigger than a midsize, but smaller than a full-size.
Have a look at the spec sheets for yourself right here.

And it now represents the best value in its segment.
