To give us an idea of what a possible Cadillac
XT4-based V model could look like, All Car News has come up with this pair of
intriguing renderings that show the XT4-V adorned with a plethora of styling
changes fitting of a V-badged model.
For example, the SUV’s ride height has been dropped
and a pair of gloss black wheels were installed. Elsewhere, the vehicle adopts
a bespoke hood with a prominent air extractor and large bulge to support the
(mandatory) beefed-up engine.
A host of modification have also been made to the
SUV’s rear fascia. For example, there’s an enlarged spoiler stretching back
from the roof, a tweaked bumper, and a pair of dual tailpipes. Completing the
modifications are the removal of the two rear doors – which is the only part
that sticks out like a sore thumb.
While it is possible that Cadillac will release a
V-branded SUV in the future, there’s absolutely no chance it would do so with a
three-door. There’s no indication such an XT4 is in the pipeline, and GM
certainly wouldn’t have gone to all that trouble solely for one version.
