2024 Cadillac XT4 Gets a Fresh Face, 33-Inch Curved Display
The facelifted baby Caddy goes on sale this summer.
Cadillac on Monday revealed the facelifted 2024 XT4. The sub-compact SUV sees its first major improvements since its debut for 2019, with small tweaks outside and bigger changes in the cabin. And we do mean that literally.

Measuring 33 inches across with 9K resolution, the setup more than doubles the outgoing model’s screen real estate. It includes touchscreen controls to either side of the steering wheel, with customizable display themes and layouts. Like other recent GM products, the XT4 system uses Google Automotive Services, which includes native voice assistance and Google Maps support. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard too, as well as Amazon Alexa.
In response to the big, curved display, Cadillac has tweaked the rest of the dashboard design to match. Sure enough, there are new interior color and trim options to go along with the update, including carbon fiber, wood, or aluminum, depending on trim.

The standard safety suite is also broader, now including a Blind Zone Steering Assist, rear cross-traffic braking, enhanced front pedestrian and cyclist braking, and lane-keep assist.
An Active Safety Package is available on all but the base model. It packs in adaptive cruise control (but not Super Cruise), intersection automated emergency braking, a 360-degree camera, upgraded lane-keep assist, side cyclist alert, speed limit assist, and traffic sign recognition.

The LED slivers blend into a re-profiled grille, and connect to similar vertical elements which double as the daytime running lights (DRLs). There’s a reshaped rear bumper as well, plus a new roster of 18- and 20-inch alloy wheels.
Behind that reshaped grille sits the same 2.0-liter turbo motor as before. The four-cylinder pumps out a solid 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Buyers have the choice of standard front-wheel drive or optional twin-clutch all-wheel drive. The XT4 Sport continues to offer an active suspension.
The 2024 Cadillac XT4 will continue to be offered in Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport flavors. It will go on sale this summer. Expect pricing to shift slightly north of the existing model, which starts at $37,490 ($40,398 CAD) including destination.
