The same ferry I used this last weekend, near my home town. Congrats, hope you enjoyed the area... Car looks... not bad.
You probably can't name one Caddy based on a Chevy. There's a reason for that.
Side view it just looks like an old Ford edge
If it competes with an XC40 that means also with an X1 and NOT an X3. X3 is in the same segment as Q5, GLC and XC60! XC40 would be X1, Q3 and GLA. So which segment is it?
The Fast Lane Car
Hey Roman you’ve totally forgot to mention the new 2019 Infiniti QX50 Limited
LMAO. That guy started sweating during the whole voice command thing.
I actually just remembered my car has "voice control"... I think I'll play with that in traffic tomorrow
Lmao. He did.
funniest thing I've seen in awhile
Hahahahahaha!!!!!! Yes, he was sitting there thinking up a excuse for why it wasn't working properly.
Karreil2525 And so he should. What an embarrassment. No excuse any more for such a miss. I had voice command on a 1st Gen CTS 10 years ago that worked better. Go figure...
Interviews with Cadillac people makes this a great video. Great job.
Agreed, but unfortunately, the interviewer doesn't know exactly what he's talking about
I have to say this looks really good in motion and video much better than the pics. I wish he would have shown the interior more it looked great also.
Love the fact that Cadillac does their touch screen integration into the dash not sitting on it like an after thought! Still not a seamless voice activated system but cue seems to be more responsive! Keep improving & stay committed to design enhancements/integration & you'll have much success!
I am impressed by the design for sure. I hope it looks good in person. Will consider in about 12-18 months
Great review, Roman. Very comprehensive without a lot of technical jargon only insiders would understand. Your review has convinced me that this is likely my next car.
I want one SO much! Chunky yet elegant design; beautiful!
Good review, Roman! Interesting vehicle.
This looks great! Caddy styling cues are well executed and integrated here. Good job Caddy
Great review. This is one of the best I have seen from this channel. I think this crossover made it to my buy list. I dont like crossovers at all, but this one does it well. It just doesn't look like a car that someone stuck an air hose in and blew it up to make a crossover. Looks great
I'm in my 40s and this is the first Cadillac I've ever considered buying. I am in the market for a compact luxury SUV (love the new RDX) and will definitely drive this when I get the chance. Really impressed with the styling on this.
Totally appreciate that interview 🙂
They probably didn’t build voice control for the HVAC because they have data that tells them that nobody wants to do that
The XT4 is a real home run! Great review, Roman!
Great video. Good sounding audio 👍
Looking forward to seeing it in person. Thanks tflc
Roman Empire kills it again . Great review and nice looking car
Great review! Do you know which models will have the sunroof?
As always great video. That's a sharp Cadillac
Thanks for sharing 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I must say, it's actually rather nice looking! I haven't been a huge fan of the more recent Cadillac styling but I like what they've done here.
Great video, showed a bug or two, no loud hip hop music, very honest , beautiful vehicle.
Looks nothing like an escalade. I do love it though.
It’s pretty similar looks wise to the Escalade.
Cadillac always makes very nice looking vehicles inside and out. Excited for this one!
Classic voice control demonstration. The most aggravating experience possible while driving. I use it to stay awake when I'm getting tired. Nothing like a good argument. Thanks for doing it on this review.
These crossovers get less ground clearance every revision. Gonna be lambo low in no time.
C.A.F.E is an invisible BUT powerful oppressing hand. Lowered vehicle, less drag, better MPG.
bgtx I’ve actually seen some of these driving around recently. The ground clearance is better than I expected. It’s not Crosstrek level, but it’s dirt-road worthy.
They're optimized for the way most buyers will use them. What off-road capability is left is a fig leaf for the fact it's a $55k (with options) hatchback with extra height for easier accessibility.
Its so low a chihuahua could piss in your face at a stop sign.
And that's how skewed our idea of car height has gotten. Anything over five feet overall height should count as a tall car - I think the lowest four-door ever was the original Acura Integra at just over 50" OAH.
I have a 14 ats with nav and I love cue and the haptic feedback. I haven’t had any issues with it at all. It’s worked perfectly for me.
I love how you zoomed in on that tattoo worthy turbo when talking about the twin scroll turbo.
nice inviting video.... keeps it light and fun... good job
..
If you've never seen one if these in Atlantic Blue, you are missing out. Especially when you get the full digital display and the off-white interior. It's a beautiful car.
The NFC pairing thing was first featured in the 2018 Accord!
Love the rear view camera mirror
lol that was funny when you were trying to do the voice controls if you watch his face lol.
The pricing will kill this model.
Most definitely because you have the trax and Encore
WTFrick? It's only 34K for a top gear luxury compact SUV do you want them to give away there cars?
We priced it, and you are right.
I can't wait to purchase one!!! The price range is trippy, should be from like $25000-$43000 tops, cause now it merges into the price range of what the XT5 cost and you can get bigger and better for that max price of $55000... But I'm still planning to get one...
Great review like caddy I wish rebadged as Holden for Australia. But I skip voice command have it in white what a cool car👍
owned our luxury (base) level XT4 for 8 months now. We love it! Great power on highway and street, great blend between luxury and sport ride quality, and good size back seat and trunk. Down sides: the base model doesnt have seat memory (sucks with a short wife), the doors don't make a nice sound when they close (I think its the side mirrors rattling, that shouldnt happen in a luxury car). Other than that. I love my XT4 and highly recommend.
If you mind me asking how has it been thus far? Very much considering it for next car (or XT5).
TFL, you might want to double check which category this crossover is in and who it’s competitors are.
You Americans are so lucky to have this. It looks fantastic.
I know you all love to berate your own products say it's the crappiest thing ever etc but from across the pond here in the UK, they look great. Would love to see them on the road here 😊😊
The reason this car will do well is because of what was mentioned in the video. The XT4 is a manly car compared to previous caddy and buick designs. They have tapped into the market that actually buys the car. I can't wait to see one in person.
Soyboys will love it
GREAT video, shows off the great lines of this CUV. No 4 cylinder of any kind should go into a Cadillac, ever. It's the heart of a car. And this engine screams "cheap." That's everything a Cadillac is NOT supposed to be. Also the steering wheel would look good (not great, just good) in a Chevy Spark.
7:35 - speaking of modern infotainment systems in cars... have you guys considered doing a vid on upgrading the stereo in one of the old project cars? The OEM-style aftermarket Android head units are getting pretty good.
Thanks for the suggestion
How was the cabin noise during your drive?
this last months have been a major Cadillac turnaround! this car, ct5, ct6, xt5, 6.... GM is doing a great job!
Yea Cadillac needs to bring back the ctsv wagon
I sell it. Mssg me if you are in socal.
Wagons weren't good profit makers for the Division. That's why they stopped selling them. The US Market hasn't changed & they still wouldn't be profitable. Best luck finding a nice pre-owned, as that is your only option.
And the coupe
That or the OG RWD based SRX not the rebadged equinox
I like it.
Cadillac's new lineup is really impressive. They are cranking out some feature-rich vehicles at competitive prices.
I’m just happy Cadillac is getting rid of touch capacitive controls.
Damnit when he said hey alexa mine turned on
Love the Handlamps hope they give to Esclade also
Liked it but for 50k ? Will wait to get one off one year lease for $ 20-22or so With 12-15 k miles that would be a good value
680ecks think about the discounts yes it'll be around 50k but dealers will give around 3-5k off usually
If you go to cadillacs website I believe there are a lot cheaper models
Yeah right lol
680ecks I can get a Lexus NX or the new Acura RDX or the Volvo XC40 way cheaper than that and has more features... 🙄
I have a cadillac.... Just wait 2 years... Car will be half the new car price....
A very nice looking smaller crossover. I seriously doubt they will sell many fully loaded 55k dollar versions. But, they will sell quite a few 45-47k dollar, nicely appointed versions. And, a great many base versions at 36k. In fact, this is likely my wife's next new vehicle. She currently has a late model SRX Luxury Edition and wants something smaller. XT4, you came out just at the right time for this guys wife.
Cool review. So...HOW DID IT DRIVE?!?!
Well done styling.
Personally, I think the team of Cadillac did a great job however at $55k on this model as it sits its a bit high I was thinking more in the price point of $40-45k max. I'm in the market for a similar size such as Lexus, BMW, Audi, GMC, Ford, I'm almost positive I going with Volvo XC40 T5 AWD R Design with the racing Polestar tuning.
I hope the 237hp is enough and doesn't feel too sluggish.
It's all new from the ground up, just like my XC40. I'll test drive this when it comes out, but I'm guessing the Volvo will end up being better. Plus, it's about $10k less than the Caddy when both are fully loaded.
The correct competitor from BMW is the X1, not the X3.
more like the X3 AND XC60 and not XC40
X3 is larger than XT5. This is in no way shape or form comparable to X3.
This man has made so many mistakes in this video, that i'm unsubscribing, and if he ever comes up in my Recommended Videos, I'd report this channel for being too stupid, if that were an option
XT5 is 3.4" longer, a little wider, and the same height as an X3.
@@carfirehawk1 I guess you will be asking for a full refund as well, right?
All I see in the comments complaining about 55k, like pricing like this in this segment is something new.
Can you do a comparison of the xt4 and the jag e-pace please
Very nice !
The music @ 7:57! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Cue will always remain the same! Bwahahahaha!
Pretty nice looking vehicle but that price tag is going to be tough. Opting out of AWD may save enough for the average consumer but many need AWD. However, no AWD means less weight and based on the powertrain will get good power-to-weight ratio similar to XC40. I would get the XT4 for power, size, decent fuel economy, and comfort for the price. The competition is really heating up. UX is coming into the picture soon too.
They replaced my SRX with this ,and offered this instead. I left caddy and got a Buck==love it.
Love the XT4, best looking small luxury SUV!
Does it have “Lane centering” or just bounce back and forth. Volvo xc40 centers, even a Rogue can do it!
So how much was the 2008 or 2010 Yukon Denali fully loaded cost.🤔?
Do we get it here in England ?
You have to manually switch to rearview camera? My 2013 T&C minivan does this automatically and on a much bigger screen than some little mirror. Is Cadillac going backwards?
And plastic bumpers?ugh
Dose that thing have detect injection only it wont make 50000 miles before the engine needs to be taken apart to clean all the carbon off the intake values
The Fast Lane Car I Saw one of these on the road the other day. Caught my eye because of how different it looks. I didn't catch much coverage on the interior fit and finish from you. The commands you were using to control the temperature were probably not the right ones, which is why it didn't work. We'll see how it does in a crowded field. Lease payments on one will be interesting considering that they incentive the XT5. Most companies don' t like discounting a fresh brand new product, so it could cause some crossover payments.
I just test drove it.
PRO: quieter and better ride than Lexus NX and Lexus ES350. Lots of power once you get past the turbo lag. Very nice interior with carbon fiber that has 2 colors.
CON: slight turbo lag in the first 2 seconds. My 10 year old 2008 Scion xB with a 2.4 litre naturally aspirated engine does NOT have turbo lag.
I love the sport model, I'd consider buying if i had the money
What about lease a month price. If i have contract.
And fuel?
So... What we did here was .... We took the mazda grill and put a caddy logo on it. We also took the turbo version Mazda CX7 motor and tweaked it just a little, basically we added a larger turbo and exhaust and adjusted the valve timing.....that's it. It rides on malibu chassis. Really the only thing distinct is the body panels, lights and seating. We did this to save money. Oh yea and we even used the shytty radio out of a new, Ford Escape. We really went for a botched version of the CX7 here and over charge the efff out of customers. 50k dollars , who wouldn't want one? Enjoy!
Very nice
Sad when ppl say cue didn't work ....mine been working flawless since I bought it....it ain't the system it's the person....don't ask it to do things it can't do
Looks like style cues from the Acura RDX... not turning me on. Still love the Escalade!
The black plastic reminds me of the Traverse. If there's gonna be plastic, make it body colored. Nobody wants to see that.
Hafeez Hamama I want to see that. Plastic cladding is good when there’s salt on the road or you regularly drive through sand, dirt, and gravel.
@@scottyb1300 I get plastic cladding, sure. But not making it body colored is a huge turn off for me. Like i realize cars have plastic bumpers, but having then stick out like a sore thumb reminds me of a wt trim Chevy Silverado. Yuck
Plastic cladding has to be black. It's there as a styling trick to disguise floor-to-ceiling height as ground clearance/ride height. Maybe it'd look better if it were gloss black or very dark metallic gray.
All the competitors also have it
+S Korterink That's never a good enough reason.
2018-2019 which one is better?
It looks really nice... the proportions are appropriate and fits well with Cadillac's "modern" design trend.
Just my opinion but I hate the black plastic around the wheel wells - I think it looks cheap. I purchased the highest model GMC just to get rid of it. Thanks nice video
This doesn't look like a baby Escalade to me at all. It looks exactly like their old crossover SUVs. And also, no mention of its American direct competitor the Lincoln MKC?
I found the engine noisy. Reminds me of the iron Duke 2.5 tech 4 from the 80's and 90's. The old 2.0 in the ATS and CTS is quieter but plenty quick enough to get you moving.
Can you get the 6.2 in it? Xts v the explorer sport killer. The voice controls are awesome. 👎👎 looks good though.
Available any day now? Try the end of October.
I have a 2011 STS and the CUE suck then and still do in the XT4
Nicely done promo video for GM's Caddy division. Not complaining, it just is what it is, and it's an advertisement. This is a little small for me to consider but I'm sure many will be happy with it.
Promo really?! When is the last time you saw an ad where the voice tech failed to work?
I feel appropriately shamed.
We really hate passive aggressive comments. Any comment that starts with “sorry” or “I’m not complaint” is always never sorry and certainly complaining.
Guilty as charged. I have a sister who does the same thing so it may be genetic, but that's no excuse. My sincere apologies, really.
Why I got the car volume up and hear nothing from the phone and radio in my xts 2018
Nice looking but enough with all the driver distracting tech crap. How bout a 6 cylinder instead of the over pushed 4 cylinder engines.
Wait for the Blazer. V6 305 hp
I still work on my own vehicles, rather on a skinny four banger than some fat ass V6.
why not a twin turbo V-8 ??? there ae reason they use the four.. don't be a kid..
200 mile range EV version would have been great around $50k, this is just another "me too" product. GM is playing catch up again.
JIGA BACHI so you’d rather wrench on a turbocharged four banger than say, a Buick 3800? The old pushrods were so simple and in my experience reliable.
I miss the haptic feed back of the SRX we had. It just made sense and give the car more character and usability.
I wish that there was a way to reach more of the public about Cadillac. My $70000 CTS was in the shop for repairs and recalls 24 times in 3 years. My neighbors Escalade was in the shop 53 times in 3 years. The company doen't care. Don't get me started on the new CT6 for $88000.
New blazer with suspension drop and cadi badges?
I never thought I’d say it but I’d actually take a GLA over something and it’s this
Could the touchscreen be any smaller! It’s an antique gas guzzler right off the assembly line. Love the way the voice recognition works! This is Classic GM.
Baby Escalade with big brother pricing lol 😂
I think this is priced right when you take it’s competitors into consideration.
The 2019 Escalade starts at a $40k higher base price.
Robert Laipply I’m sorry, but no!...You are not allowed to blow me.
It's a luxury truck dumbass.
Baby Escalade with a baby nuts engine
Awesome review!!!! Now I can only think one thing!! GOLDMINE HILL, GOLDMINE HILL, GOLDMINE HILL!!!!!!
I love the design but I am not sure if it's worth the price.
Did Nathan leave? I see articles by him on the site.
x3 gets 30+ mpg with more power without and cylinder deactivation and more fun to drive!
