When you take a look at Cadillac's current crossover SUV lineup, you may notice that there's a sizable gap between the five passenger XT5 and Escalade.
That void means that their customers wanting a third row have to get a Mondo Escalade or look to another brand.
If they're in search of something a little less bulky.
That is until later this year, when this, the 2020 Cadillac XT6 lands in show rooms.
The first ever XT6 finally gives Cadillac a three row cross over that is more right sized for daily driving.
To compete with things like the Audi Q7, Acura MDX, and Infinity QX60.
It will be offered in two trim levels.
A more comfort focused premium luxury model and a performance minded sport version.
Distinguishing the premium luxury on the outside are bright grill, window and roof rail accents, red tail lights, and 20 inch wheels, on the inoffensive sheet metal.
The sport wears a V series inspired grill, black accents, clear tail lights, and offers 21 inch wheels.
In side we turned to the premium luxury and carbon fibre in the sport, freeze access to the rear most seat the secular manually tip inside-fold with one touch.
