Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2025 Cadillac XT4
1st generation (2019-2025), second year after the 2024 refresh and final model year.
Cadillac positions the XT4 as a small luxury SUV with bold styling, standout in-cabin tech, and everyday usefulness. The brand emphasizes the curved 33-inch display, generous rear-seat legroom, more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features, and the balance between city-friendly size and upscale design. In practice, the XT4’s role is to give shoppers a distinctive Cadillac look and a roomy, tech-forward cabin without moving up to a larger SUV.
Premium Luxury is the comfort-focused version, with leather seating, driver-seat memory, and a hands-free liftgate. Sport has gloss-black exterior details, sport-themed cabin accents, and synthetic leather, while both trims get a 33-inch curved display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
