Cadillac continues the development of the 2020 XT5,
with a camouflaged test car now being spotted in Europe. The mid-life facelift
will bring the Cadillac XT5 in line with the rest of the models, including the
newly revealed XT4. The test car has its front and rear ends
covered pointing at the areas where the design changes will take place.
These changes will be inspired by the Escala concept
and will include a redesigned front grille along with revised bumpers and new
graphics for the lights all around. Changes in the interior will include the
addition of the brand’s new infotainment system that now features improved
voice recognition and NFC connectivity.
Cadillac’s mid-size SUV is also expected to gain a new
entry-level version powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol engine. There
are even some rumors that the company will add the hybrid powertrain that’s
already available in China to the XT5’s range.
The mid-size SUV will also gain a few new or updated
active safety and driver assistance systems. Cadillac has promised to offer its
semi-autonomous Super Cruise system across its entire lineup by 2020, which
means that the facelifted XT5 will also become able to sort of drive itself
under supervision. Expect Cadillac to reveal the facelifted XT5 sometime in
2019 as a 2020 model.
