About 20 years ago, Cadillac threw lipstick at a Yukon GMC and “Escalade”.
Probably to GM’s surprise, some rappers have included it in their videos.Suddenly, Cadillac was applicable to young people. Maybe they couldn’t, but their parents could.Almost overnight, Cadillac has become a truck brand.
They still make cars, very smart, that we’ll be back to in the next few weeks.Meanwhile, a total series of new Caddy SUVs joining the “Slade”.They’re all called XT “n,” without n.
The fundamental list of my “Sport” XT6 of 3 rows $63,798.A variety of options, adding semi-analline leather (in the 3 rows so that young people do not suffer short circuits), automatic parking, night vision and advanced automatic braking higher sticker to $78,128.
Looking at the websites of local distributors, the five-digit discounts seem to be on the agenda.Stylists can’t do much with a two-box SUV.Some main points such as thin LED lighting fixtures give the XT6 a safe presence.
Inside, this original seam coating and genuine woodenen woodenen with polished aluminum accents provide a perfect atmosphere.I discovered that the seats were comfortable and favorable for an animated journey, which, wonderful, wonderful, did not bother with this Cadillac.Compatibility for the lumbar and thighs wouldn’t be too much.
At first, I discovered that the central row of seats was not fully electrically adjusted.In an online discussion about using the “Cadillac Live” app, expert Caddy Howie Hughes noted that you can manually drag the backrest from center to front in less than a second, while a motorized seat would occupy five or more.Those of you who have young children know that they, the maximum, probably third-level residents, do not have the patience.
Hughes proved that his shy body over 6 feet can sit comfortably enough on what Cadillac claims to be a “class leader” in the third two-seat row.The split central bench is also adjustable, so everyone has to do it.Twin Captain seats are also available for the time being.Fortunately, you don’t need to get rid of a child seat in the momentary row to access the third row.
The two rear rows fold flat, creating a 78.6 cu loading area. Pi with a flat floor and stoba hooks, with hidden garage underneath for valuables.The electric tailgate provides the practical opening or closing function.
There are WiFi on board, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and all kinds of USB ports for kids toys.They will also be useful for those who run businesses from their cars.
A large sunroof is more useful for extra light, especially in the third row, than for ventilation.
I was very pleased to see Cadillac abandon the maximum of its minor control formula “CUE”, which required too much attention to operate.Definitely; I may have only been asked … Instead, there is a giant rotating yetton where your right hand falls naturally, with buttons on the 4 “quadrants” to choose the formula you need to control.It will take a little acclimatization is done, but it is much greater than before.
The XT6 passes my side mirror adjustment test, but fails the on / lights off test. GM’s 3.6-liter corporate V6, fixed on looks here, provides 310 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 271 pound-feet of torque peaking at 5,000 rpm.
The nine-speed automatic gearbox with elegant gear settings is helping to keep the engine in its ideal position for decent performance, from 0 to 100 km/h in just over seven seconds.It’s not as fast as Lincoln’s 400-horsepower Aviator, but it’s unlikely to.endurance racing race on an XT6.
The engine can run on 4 cylinders to save a few drops of fuel and the transitions are almost perfect.Idle shutdown is also helping here with a lot of traffic.Don’t you like this feature? You can turn it off without a problem.
The powertrain is also quiet, as you’d expect from a Cadillac.An ideal environment for the BOSE 14-speaker stereo system.
Shame, however, in the quarter-back.” Parking “has been forward almost as usual.Why now do we want a separate yetton? And the logo on the shift lever knob suggests dragging it back and forth to switch between D (for Drive) and S (for Sport).No, no, no, no, no, no, it’s a back and going.Of course, get used to it, but you shouldn’t have to.
My tester had a towing set that can weigh up to 4,000 pounds (1,814 kg), so a small boat/trailer.Need more? There’s the Slade.A driving mode control lets you decide how you need the vehicle to behave.”TOUR” helps you stay in the front-wheel drive, and I’m a little satisfied with over-cooking a shade in a dust-covered vehicle.A quick hit of the wheel before the guidance stability control comes into action saves the day.The faster guidance relationship provided with sport style probably helped here.
The “AWD” mode puts you in four-wheel drive, traction with a low load on fuel consumption.”SPORT” sharpens throttle and transmission responses when you’re in the mood.
The XT6 Sport style has clutches on the rear semi-trees that can steer torque in any aspect of the vehicle depending on the situation.This is helping to put “sport” in Sport Utility.
All the generation you can ask for, and more.
Councilman Hughes said he liked the front demonstration to provide precautionary messages and satellite navigation information.I don’t like it, because your eyes have to look towards the road, not the base of the windshield.I couldn’t turn this one off. However, I adjusted it so as not to see it anymore.Uncomfortable reflections on the windshield and centerboard screen recommend that either deserve to be more protected.
Hughes discovers the convenient self-parking feature for parking spaces on downtown streets.Every time I tried those things, they failed miserably. It is available if you can and want to use it.
This vehicle had a GM rearview camera that complements the traditional rearview mirror that provides a wider viewing box.However, I am a component of the significant subset of the population whose eyes cannot be temporarily adjusted enough to be useful.Night vision? Now it’s a pleasure. It will capture other people or animals far beyond the success of their headlights.Maybe he’s a real lifeguard.
There are a multitude of additional camera perspectives that must be had to negotiate narrow parking spaces.Front, rear, up, combinations of those, which facilitate the maneuvers of this giant vehicle.
That said, the total vehicle doesn’t drive as big as it looks, or it’s not.This is largely a testament to suspension technology.
One feature of GM that I think is prudent is the precautionary formula to tell you that it would possibly be crowding that center lane, not its flashing lights or getting too close to the rear railing.Gently vibrate the seat cushion, so your transgression remains your little secret.
Of course, I had to do it in the owner’s manual, exem …
In short, the Cadillac XT6 offers a mix of space, technology, elegance and even driving pleasure.
It’s no wonder he temporarily became one of the brand’s marketers.
