All premium luxury models get the front-wheel-drive and comfort-oriented fixed-rate dampers. On the premium luxury, you can have all-wheel drive with a single clutch differential as an option, however, the Sport trim comes standard with dual-clutch diff at the rear.

Despite the XT6's rigid underpinnings and the Sport's trick all-wheel-drive system and adjustable damping, the crossover fails to thrill during more dynamic driving - Motor1.com

The 3.6-liter V6 unit delivers a healthy 310 hp power output on paper however, once you start rolling it around, you don't feel that energy being properly communicated to the wheels. The engine feels a bit hesitant in kicking off with a noticeable power lag down the lower rpm range. The engine takes a significant amount of time to open up and even at higher revs it just doesn't feel as energetic or as refined even as a Kia Telluride or Hyundai Palisade.

Although the V6 powertrain in the XT6 might seem hesitant while kicking off from a start, the 7 seater Caddy boasts of an impressive 6.9 seconds run from 0-60 mph. The all-new 2020 XT6 does impress with the way it rides. The ride quality is very smooth and quiet, just as you would expect from a Cadillac. The relaxed and light steering wheel does its job pretty well in providing easy maneuverability

Part of the engine's slice is also shared by the transmission. The 9-speed automatic is smooth in its operation, however, the shifts are just not quick enough. Take out the XT6 on a long spin and the scream of the powertrain for more power and an efficient transmission gets audible enough to displease you, something not expected from a vehicle of this class.

Opt for the Sport trim and you are introduced to the more enhanced side of the XT6. As the name suggests, the Sport trim gets a firmer suspension, sports steering with a quicker steering ratio, and dual-clutch rear differential that vectors torque side to side. Braking is taken care of by ventilated discs at all four corners which are also accompanied by standard ABS with 12.6-in rotors up front and 12.4-in at the rear.

The XT6’s middling EPA ratings are par for the three-row SUV course - Thecarconnection.com

The XT6’s 20 mpg combined is slightly on the lower side when compared to that of the Volvo XC90 or the Acura MDX. The Lincoln Aviator, even with its burly powertrain and chunkier proportions delivers similar gas mileage to the XT6.

The AWD-equipped XT6 does enhance the overall fuel economy, over the FWD versions, but only marginally. Cadillac is also offering a Tour mode on the AWD trims, which restricts power delivery only to the front wheels. Cadillac says that the Tour mode improves the gas mileage, but however, the XT6 just couldn't match the refined powertrain and better gear ratios of the XC90.

Where the XT6 puts the most emphasis upon is comfort and practicality, and that emphasis is clearly visible, the moment you get inside the cabin. The cabin feels roomier with ample space all around across the first and second-row seats. What's most interesting is that how effectively the Cadillac design team managed to carve out sufficient room even for the third-row occupants. The interior ambiance just feels adequately luxurious, with a clean and minimal theme.

The optional leather upholstery feels soft and smooth, but again, it's not the best you can get in this price range. The dashboard is covered with soft-touch materials, and so are the door panels, but you are often likely to grab one of the cheap plastic inserts like those on the paddle-shifters, lower part of the central console, and the storage bay under the central console. The XT6 has the minimal cargo bay among the competition with just 12.6 cu-ft of the area behind the third row.

At the heart of the 2020 Cadillac XT6, lies an 8.0-inch touchscreen, sitting in the center of the leather and wood/carbon-fiber draped dashboard. The relatively smaller screen is sharp and crisp and it comes standard with Android Auto, Apple Carplay, and navigation. The user interface is clean and hassle-free and the system is pretty responsive to most of your commands, without any significant lag.

Gone are the touch-sensitive buttons and are now replaced by real shortcut buttons to access various features. In case if you don't like inviting fingerprints on your glossy screen, there is also a rotary dial to control the infotainment. However, where the XT6 disappoints is the instrument cluster. In an age where most of the luxury manufacturers are going for full digital drivers display, this one still houses the traditional analog and a tiny 4.5-inch driver's display.

 Simple: familiarity, style, and value for money - Motortrend.com

One of the best things about this new XT6 is how it looks. It looks, unlike any other Cadillac SUV to date. Unlike the larger Escalade’s bold and aggressive stance, the XT6’s lower roofline and subtle body creases provide it a humble and mild appearance. View it from the side and the lowered window line reminds you about the XC90. 

Interestingly, the front face still carries the distinguished Cadillac look with the signature crest grille, sleek headlamps, and vertical LED turn signals. On to the side, there are gentle body lines stretching all across to the rear, along with body-colored wheel arches, further adding to its politeness. 

The rear end is clean yet minimal, with vertical LED tail lamps and a horizontal chrome strip that connects both the tail lamps. To clear the rear clutter, Cadillac has smartly tucked the rear wiper upwards, underneath the rear lip spoiler. The rearview camera is also placed at the top of the rear windshield for better rear-field view and yes the XT6 gets two real exhausts at the back.

2020 Cadillac XT6 Vs 2020 Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 stands very tall in its class and for valid reasons. Compared to the XT6, the Q7 has a solid and premium build quality and the interior feels more spacious. Where the Q7 impresses the most, is its firm and composed ride quality. Riding on air suspension and Audi’s revolutionary Quattro AWD, the Q7 handles pretty well for its size, even around corners.

2020 Cadillac XT6 Vs 2020 Volvo XC90

Comparing the XT6 and the XC90 is a tough task since both these SUVs make very similar promises of comfort and safety. However, the XC90 certainly has an edge over the XT6. The XC90 has a better and more premium build quality than the XT6 and Volvo’s clean and minimalistic interior design makes the cabin feel more spacious. Torque from the engine is linear all the time, and the smooth and comfortable ride quality is more enhanced than the XT6.

2020 Cadillac XT6 Vs 2020 Acura MDX

The XT6 will certainly get you more bling, but the MDX promises uncompromised reliability, value for money, and a hassle-free ownership experience. The MDX is one vehicle ideal for those who value their hard-earned money more, over fanciness. The MDX might stand behind the Caddy in terms of creature comfort and equipment list, however, it is more dynamic than the XT6 around corners. At a price point of $44k, the Acura MDX is a better value for money. 

2020 Cadillac XT6 Vs 2020 Lincoln Aviator

With a more powerful engine and a smoother transmission, the Aviator offers the sheer driving fun, that the XT6 misses out on. Apart from this, the build quality and interior layout is more upscale along with some mind-boggling luxury and driver assistance features. The new Lincoln also impresses with its superior ride quality and handling, thanks to the tight steering and the advanced adaptive dampers.

If you have been a hardcore Cadillac fan, waiting over the years for a humble 7 seater Crest, because the Escalade was too bulky and expensive, well then, the 2020 XT6 has to be your vehicle. However, If you are not a Caddy fanboy, to say the least, there are many more promising vehicles in the segment like the Lincoln Aviator and the Acura MDX, that are worth considering.
