Updated Cadillac XT6 Will Debut This Year In China

Just over five years ago, the 2020 Cadillac XT6 was revealed as the largest luxury crossover in the luxury marque’s lineup, finally giving Cadillac a three-row utility vehicle outside the Escalade. Since then, the XT6 has soldiered on largely unchanged for the subsequent 2021 2022, 2023 and 2024 model years, but that will soon change, as Cadillac Society recently learned that an updated XT6 will be revealed in China this year. 

2023 Cadillac XT6

A vehicle launch schedule from SAIC-GM, Cadillac’s joint venture in the Asian country, seen by Cadillac Society shows that the “new” XT6 will debut in 2024. In fact, the upcoming XT6 is among the four vehicles soon to be launched by Cadillac in China, which also include the Escalade IQ, Optiq and Vistiq battery electric models. Considering that the term “new” for SAIC-GM typically signifies a mid-cycle refresh, it’s likely that the forthcoming updates to the XT6 will be similar to the ones we saw on the recently-updated XT4 or CT5.

While we have yet to spot any refreshed XT6 prototypes undergoing testing, we expect the forthcoming luxury crossover to feature a design language similar to that of the second-generation Cadillac XT5 and refreshed XT4. In fact, late last year, we rendered what a refreshed XT6 could look like, including a revised front end with more pronounced vertical lighting signatures extending down the front fascia and a set of headlights placed just inside the vertical strips. Our rendering also featured the horizontally-oriented turn signals,  and the luxury marque’s familiar five-point grille.

Initially, the future of the XT6 beyond the 2024 model year was murky, but as recently reported by Cadillac Society, the XT6 will in fact be offered for the 2025 model year in North America. However, it’s currently unclear if this will be the refreshed version or if it will simply be a continuation of the current model.
