IN Jalopnik’s original review Later Cadillac XT4 A few years ago, our old friend Kristen Lee lamented the “big, droopy dashboard” that juts out from just below the car’s modestly sized infotainment screen. That’s the first thing you can will not Newly updated inside sitting notice model 2024, which automaker disclosure Tuesday. The XT4 saw a pretty significant mid-cycle refresh—once made it feel like it actually belongs to the same family as lyriq. From the inside, anyway.
From outsideThe XT4 retains its look, with some touches to make it a bit more in line with Cadillac’s current design language.. These include headlights projector has been disassembled from the daytime running lights and the lower insert on the front, like every car today, except for a slight change in the position of the reflector at the back. Honestly, I can hardly distinguish a post-2024 example from a pre-2024 example down the road.
When it comes to the interior, Cadillac has brought the XT4 into a new era. What used to be a tiny center stack infotainment panel is now a 33-inch diagonal curved screen that extends from the instrument cluster past the row of climate control buttons below. Overall, the layout is very similar to the Lyriq, even if the materials, switches, and some details — like the LCD temperature display of the Casio calculator — aren’t quite what you’ll find. in Caddy’s big EV.

Nevertheless, all this still amounts to an improvement for the entry-level nameplate. The cabin boasts not only a modern look but modern smarts as well, thanks to a new 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability as well as an update to Google’s Android Automotive software platform, like the latest SUVs and large pickups from Chevy and GMC have. There’s also a new AKG Studio 13-speaker audio system available for all trims.
Those are the most noteworthy updates for the XT4. Under the hood nothing’s changed; all buyers still receive the same 235-horspower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder routed through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Serviceable for the sake of efficiency, but hardly soul stirring. All the soul’s gone to the interior, it turns out. Cadillac says the 2024 XT4 should hit showrooms this summer. Information on pricing is still to come.
