Availability

Name

The “XT4” name is the result of Cadillac’s new naming scheme, wherein the brand labels cars like sedans, coupes, and wagons with the CT moniker, followed by a number designating its “sequence” in the lineup. Similarly, Cadillac crossovers and SUVS will be named XT followed by a number identifying its sequence in the vehicle hierarchy.

General Motors filed a trademark application for the XT4 name with the Untied States Patent and Trademark Office on November 7th, 2014.

Platform

The XT4 rides on General Motors’ front-wheel-drive E2 platform. As such, it has a transverse engine configuration.

Powertrain

The XT4 offers the following powertrain options: 

  • Turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine (production code LSY), available in all markets where the XT4 is sold
  • Turbodiesel 2.0L I4 engine (production code LSQ), available exclusively in Europe
  • Mild hybrid, which pairs the turbo 2.0L I4 with an electric motor and 48-volt battery, available exclusively in China

All of these engine options mate to Cadillac’s 9-speed automatic transmission.

  • Audi Q3
  • BMW X1
