This is the new China-made variant of the Cadillac
XT4 compact SUV. GM’s luxury or/and sporty brand is currently making only one
SUV in China, the XT5, and that is totally suicidal, so the XT4 can’t arrive
soon enough.
The Cadillac XT4
won’t hit the market until late into the third quarter. Public debut is
expected for the Chengdu Auto Show in September. The XT4 will be manufactured
by Shanghai-GM.
Size-wise there are no differences with the rest of
the world, GM is not considering a long-wheelbase version for the XT4 for
China. Power will come from a 2.0 turbo with 234 hp, mated to a nine-speed DCT.
