Luxury crossovers are all the rage these days, but there's been one brand that hasn't had one at the party yet. That has just changed at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit with this, the new 2020 Cadillac XT6 — a three-row, front-wheel-drive crossover. It used to be that if you wanted anything more than five passengers in a Cadillac SUV, you had to go for a $75,000 Escalade. Well, not anymore: The XT6 will cost significantly less than that.
Underneath, the new XT6 shares a lot of its components with the GMC Acadia. It rides on the same platform and it's about the same size — but the styling is significantly different. GM has introduced a lot of "Cadillac" style elements to the XT6 — like the front end, which was inspired by the Escala concept car from a couple of years ago. The vertical light pipes on each side of the grille are also very much a Cadillac element.

The XT6 will come in two different trims — Premium Luxury and Sport — which determine the look of accents on the exterior. Premium Luxury models get a lot of chrome trim, while Sport models have gloss-black accents instead.
Under the hood is Cadillac's 310-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6. We've seen that engine in a lot of different models, and it's now made it into the XT6, as well. The V-6 is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission that drives the front wheels; all-wheel drive is an option on the Premium Luxury model and standard on the Sport.
