Cadillac has announced the domestic launch of the ‘New XT4’, starting pre-orders today (the 3rd).
The XT4, which debuted in the Korean market in 2021, has been a beloved model among young female customers thanks to its stylish design, balanced performance, class-leading space and safety features.
The newly launched ‘New XT4’ showcases a refined exterior design and a completely revamped interior design, expressing Cadillac’s latest design identity. With added convenience and safety specifications, it has achieved evolution across all facets, marking it as Cadillac’s entry-level luxury SUV model.
Full-Change-Level Transformation in Both Interior and Exterior, Actively Reflecting ‘Young American Luxury’ Values
The design of the ‘New XT4’ actively uses elements of ‘Young American Luxury’ that Cadillac has been pursuing, achieving a perfect balance between dynamic styles and luxurious design artifacts.
The front of the vehicle features a newly applied parametric pattern grill, which is a reinterpretation of Cadillac’s traditional design element, the ‘Chevron’. The sleekly organized vertical signature daytime running lights and headlamps create a more sophisticated first impression.
While maintaining the distinctive sporty character line and design proportions of the XT4, the extensive use of dark high-gloss materials and dark roof rails, along with newly designed 20-inch alloy wheels, enhances the unique dynamic style of the ‘New XT4’.
A total of six color options, including three new exterior colors such as ‘Emerald Lake Metallic’, ‘Midnight Sky Metallic’, and ‘Deep Sea Metallic’, help complete the ‘New XT4’s’ distinctive style.
The interior of the ‘New XT4’ has been completely reimagined and enhanced, inspired by Cadillac’s first electric vehicle, the ‘Lyriq’, which serves as the foundation for the next generation of Cadillac design elements.
The 33-inch curved advanced LED display, integrating the cluster and infotainment touchscreen, is a core element of the ‘New XT4’ interior, creating a futuristic yet luxurious atmosphere through the harmony of surrounding aluminum garnish and ambient lighting.
Interior colors are available in two options, ‘Jet Black’ and ‘Sky Grey’, and the distinctive carbon and wood materials applied according to the color blend with Cadillac’s artisan-crafted embroidery patterns, offering a luxurious interior experience at the highest level.
Incorporating Various Next-Generation Technologies for a Comfortable Driving and Riding Experience
The 33-inch curved advanced LED display equipped in the ‘New XT4’ supports ultra-high definition of 9K and can express over one billion colors, providing individual themes for customization according to passengers’ preferences.
It supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™, offering a convenient interface for connecting personal devices to the vehicle.
The ‘New XT4’ comes equipped with the AKG Studio 14 speaker audio system, optimized for the internal space characteristics, allowing a wide range of audio mode settings with 14 speakers, ensuring a satisfying sound experience for all passengers.
Furthermore, the ‘New XT4’ is equipped with an enhanced ‘Active Safety Package’ to assist the driver’s safety while ensuring confidence in various driving situations.
The enhanced ‘Active Safety Package’ includes improved front-and-rear automatic emergency braking, rear pedestrian warning, enhanced lane departure prevention and lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control that delicately adjusts the following distance, all contributing to the driver’s safe driving environment. New additions include automatic emergency braking and warnings for pedestrians and cyclists on the front and side.

Sporty Driving Performance and Efficiency
The ‘New XT4’ features a 2.0L direct-injection gasoline twin-scroll turbo engine that delivers a maximum output of 238 horsepower and a maximum torque of 35.7kg•m, paired with a class-leading 9-speed automatic transmission.
It maintains the active sport suspension and variable damping control, which have received acclaim in previous models, ensuring a sporty driving experience. The new ESE (Engine Sound Enhancement) enhances engine sound for a more enjoyable driving experience.
The ‘New XT4’ upgrades the active fuel management system, which deactivates certain cylinders in specific driving conditions to improve fuel efficiency, achieving enhanced urban fuel efficiency (from 8.8 to 9.3 km/L) and combined fuel efficiency (from 10.0 to 10.3 km/L) compared to previous models.
Additionally, the ‘New XT4’ supports a twin-clutch all-wheel drive system that freely distributes power to all four wheels, along with drive modes that can be adjusted to tour, sport, and snow/ice settings.
