2025 Cadillac XT4

GM Authority (opens in a new tab) calls 2025 the seventh model year of the first-generation luxury crossover, following the 2019 launch and a mid-cycle refresh for 2024, with minor updates consistent with a carryover year, and lists the Active Safety package as now standard on Premium Luxury and Sport. Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says last year's base Luxury trim is discontinued, leaving the Premium Luxury as the entry model, and that an onboard 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, a seven-speaker stereo and in-dash navigation are standard, with a 13-speaker AKG stereo optional.

Cars.com (opens in a new tab) notes the 2024 refresh brought updated exterior styling and a 33-inch dashboard screen combining the instrument panel and infotainment displays, so the 2025 is little changed. Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) lists the Premium Luxury at a starting sticker price of $41,990 and a Fair Purchase Price of $38,300. EPA rates the 2025 XT4 at 25 to 26 mpg combined and $3,000 to $3,100 a year in fuel.

NHTSA lists one recall campaign for the 2025 XT4, 24V795000, in which the instrument panel may be missing the perforation on the underside of the panel cover that lets the passenger-side air bag deploy properly. Owners have filed 10 complaints with NHTSA: electrical system with 5, and power train, service brakes and lane departure with 2 each. ProblemsByVin (opens in a new tab) scores the year 8.6 out of 10, above the segment average, with no systemic severe-failure pattern.

EPA rates the 2025 XT4 at 25 to 26 mpg combined. The 2025 Lexus NX rates 24 to 39 at $2,000 to $3,250 with 37 miles of electric range on its plug-in, the Acura RDX 23 at $3,350, the BMW X3 27 to 29 at $2,650 to $2,850 and the Audi Q5 25 to 26 at $3,000 to $3,100. On EPA figures the XT4 matches the Q5, trails the X3 slightly and beats the RDX, and the NX hybrids are the most efficient of the group.
