Cadillac's three-row midsized SUV has responsive handling and drives like a smaller vehicle than it is.
The ride is comfortable but doesn't stand out against competitors.
A 2.0-liter turbo engine is standard.
Front- and all-wheel drive are available.
We tested it with the 3.6-liter V6 and smooth nine-speed automatic, a combination that packs a lot of power for merging and passing.
The cabin is quiet and well finished, and the seats are comfortable.
But the XT6 is short on some luxury niceties, such as four-way adjustable lumbar support for the driver's seat and auto-up rear windows.
The infotainment system and other controls are relatively easy to use.
Highway-speed AEB is optional, and Cadillac's Super Cruise active driving assistance system is available on some trims.
