On May 25, the 2025 Cadillac XT4 was officially launched, with 3 models offered, an official guide price of 229,700 to 275,700 yuan, and a full-payment fixed price as low as 159,900 to 189,900 yuan.
In terms of power, the 1.5T model has a maximum power of 155 kW, exceeding the 1.5T of the BMW X1 (128 kW), while the 2.0T version at 174 kW creates differentiated competition with the Audi Q3 45TFSI (162 kW). The entire lineup is matched with a 9AT transmission and a 48V mild hybrid system, providing some assurance for fuel economy. The BMW X1 starts at 288,900 yuan, and the Audi Q3 starts at 279,800 yuan, while the XT4's pricing starting at 159,900 yuan is far lower than that of same-class BBA models.
Code Jun's sharp review:
The Cadillac XT4's advantages and disadvantages are both very obvious: outstanding cost-effectiveness, with the bare car price entering the 150,000 yuan range after terminal discounts, which is rare among luxury brands; a generous power combination, with a high-power engine + 9AT across the entire lineup, and no "castrated" power on lower trims; intelligent upgrades, with the 8155 chip + curved screen, filling the shortcomings of the older model's infotainment system.
The disadvantage is that under the impact of new energy vehicles, even first-tier luxury brands have been hit hard, let alone second-tier luxury brands. Under various factors, the XT4's three-year value retention rate is about 50%, lower than BBA's 60%, but fortunately the price is indeed cheap, which can offset certain losses. Therefore, this car is suitable for friends who pursue a luxury brand, value power and configuration, but have a limited budget.
