Here's second sighting of Cadillac's
upcoming compact crossover, ever since the automaker confirmed that the new
model would be called XT4 instead of XT3.
Aside from covering up Cadillac's pentagonal mesh
grille, a set of LED headlights and C-Pillar-mounted taillights, the camouflage
on this particular tester is also masking what we're told is an extra
"fuel" cap on the left front fender, something we find on plug-in
hybrids.
Carscoops spy photographers managed to get a close look
and confirmed the presence of a secondary fuel cap/charging port, which points to Cadillac testing the XT4 in PHEV form.
Expect Cadillac to offer regular four-cylinder
turbocharged petrol engines to compete against Audi's, BMW's and Mercedes' own
force-fed units - as found on rivals such as the Q3, X1 and GLA respectively.
Also likely is a nine-speed automatic transmission, as well as an all-wheel
drive system, available either as standard or as an option.
