The facelifted Cadillac XT4 has been revealed in China by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While the vehicle pictured here is the Chinese specification model, as evidenced by the camouflaged prototypes captured in the U.S., the styling revisions appear to be identical. Looking instantly recognizable, the crossover receives a light refresh that mainly focuses on the front end. The XT4 has been equipped with a new front bumper, revised grilles, and updated lighting units.
The latter are the most noticeable change
as the headlights are now located beneath slender LED turn signals. The
vertical elements appear relatively untouched and they act as daytime running
lights. The rear styling changes are easy to overlook, but there are a handful
of minor updates including lightly revised bodywork and new vertical
reflectors. The bumper has also been
tweaked and the reverse light is now located in the center.
While the latest pictures don’t show the
interior, previous spy photos have revealed the XT4 will have a curved display
that combines a digital instrument cluster with an infotainment system. The overall design mimics the 33-inch screen
found in the Lyriq, but it will presumably be smaller. Additional changes are
limited, but the spec sheet shows that the crossover will be offered with 18-
and 20-inch wheels. Documents
accompanying the release also indicated the model will continue to be powered
by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that features mild hybrid
technology as well as an output of 233 hp and 350
Nm of torque.
The engine should be connected to a
nine-speed automatic transmission, which can be paired to an optional all-wheel
drive system. In the current Chinese
model, this setup enables the crossover to accelerate from 0-100
km/h in as little as 7.6 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 210
km/h.
