2020 Cadillac XT6: Caddy's new three-row crossover is heavy on tech

The new 2020 Cadillac XT6 slots in above the five-passenger XT5 and mammoth Escalade in Caddy's crossover SUV lineup.

The XT6 finally gives Cadillac something to compete with the likes of the Acura MDX, Infiniti QX60 and Lexus RX 350L.

Two different trim levels will be available: a more comfort-focused Premium Luxury model and a performance-minded Sport version.

On the outside, the Sport wears a V-series-inspired grille, black accents, clear taillight lenses and is available with 21-inch wheels. Twenty-inch wheels come standard.

Premium Luxury versions will get bright grille, window and roof rail accents, red taillights and exclusive 20-inch wheels on the outside.

A 3.6-liter V6 with 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque works with a nine-speed automatic in the XT6.

The Premium Luxury is standard with front-wheel drive and available with all-wheel drive. 

Sport models are exclusively all-wheel drive with yaw control and get adaptive dampers and more responsive steering tuning for sportier performance.

Standard safety tech includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning and rear cross traffic alert. 

Cadillac dealers will begin taking orders for the 2020 XT6 this spring with deliveries starting this summer.
