Cultivating Refinement: The 2022 Cadillac XT6
Looking for luxury in your vehicle? Then you’re looking for a Cadillac. Over the course of its many successful years, the Cadillac brand has time and time again proven itself to be a leader in luxury automotive features. That’s part of the reason we are passionate about being your Cadillac dealer in Minot. That being said, not all of you looking for a luxury vehicle are looking for a sports car. Sporty, perhaps, but sometimes you need something bigger than a compact car. That doesn’t mean that you have to kiss luxury features goodbye. With that, we introduce you to the 2022 XT6. This luxury CUV represents Cadillac at its best, and we can’t wait to show you what it has to offer.
Exterior
It all starts on the outside when it comes to design. The vehicle’s exterior is what makes the first impression. This sharp, angular, and mysterious exterior is made your own through 8 intriguing color options, all of which keep it subtle while changing the personality of the vehicle, and through three trim options: Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport.
One of the most notable and new styling features comes with the Sport Trim. Are you ready for 21” multi-spoke wheels? “That’s all?” you ask? No, that is not all. These wheels have pockets finished with diamond-cut alloy. How’s that for exterior luxury? You are not going to find that anywhere else, and small details like this make the XT6 the luxury vehicle it is; you can’t accomplish true refinement through a general washover or color scheme, but only through close attention to detail. But, of course, you’ll be spending most of your time inside the car, which is the real place to be. So, let’s take a look at what happens inside the XT6.
Interior
Now it starts to get more exciting. Open that nicely-accented door and find a truly heightened and refined vehicle interior. With wood accents and leather-appointed seats, you’ll probably want to spend some time just taking in the artistic value of the XT6. Some vehicles feel nice on the inside, but it doesn’t go beyond that; the XT6, on the other hand, will capture your eye and put you in the mood to study the vehicle. While we mentioned wood accents and leather appointments, this is not set in stone, and the vehicle can be accented and appointed with a variety of materials, including carbon fiber and metal. So, whatever screams style to you is what you can get in your Cadillac XT6.
Now that you’ve studied the vehicle a bit, it’s time to sit down. You’ll have plenty of options with three rows of seating. We think you will be pleasantly surprised at how spacious the XT6 is. Able to seat up to seven, the XT6 can also be configured with captain’s chairs for six passengers, but what is lacking in seating will be made up for in comfort. Regardless of which you choose, however, passengers should be quite comfortable with 37.2-inches of standard third-row headroom. This is third-row headroom, mind you: the row that is notorious for being cramped and uncomfortable. The XT6 seeks to avoid this by ensuring that there’s not a bad seat in the house. This generous space also allows easier cargo storage with a maximum cargo capacity (behind the first row) of 78.7 cubic feet. That is not a small number, especially on a luxury vehicle, so get ready to combine luxury with practicality in the XT6.
On the Luxury trim, you’ll have these seats in jet black, and a lunar brushed aluminum trim will nicely compliment the dark complexion. If you step up to Premium Luxury or Sport, you’ll be able to choose from four or five interior color schemes. We personally suggest the Maple Sugar Semi-Aniline leather seats; these add refinement to the vehicle in maintaining the dark complexion (by offering jet black accents) while adding a classiness that goes beyond the darkness, and it is all finished off by chevron-perforated inserts and Fineline Calico wood trimming. The Calico wood in itself is a reason to go with this color scheme; it takes the vehicle’s design to a new level and brings out the excellence of the styling.
Of course, in the modern age, vehicle styling and technology are closely interconnected. The presence of premium technology plays a large role in crafting refinement in a vehicle, so let’s turn our attention to the technology sector of the XT6.
Technology
The 2022 Cadillac XT6 is going big with technology. Let’s get straight to the exciting stuff. Available this year is Super Cruise. This technology is a heightened version of cruise control, which is hands-free in a very real sense using a groundbreaking and innovative system that allows your XT6 to do the driving for you on over 200,000 miles of roads known by the vehicle right here in the United States, and even in Canada. Technology doesn’t get any more convenient than that. All you have to do is stay away and keep your eyes on the road. Road trips could be made much easier, more enjoyable, and less burdensome through this outstanding Super Cruise technology.
While you’re enjoying the excellent features of your XT6, you’ll be well connected with the generously-sized infotainment screen, which is programmed with the Cadillac User Experience. With a variety of in-vehicle apps and access to the phone, you’ll have plenty to utilize with this system. If, however, you prefer to do things your way, you can connect your device by using wireless Apple CarPlay or wireless Android Auto: both of these systems make for a much more personal infotainment experience, and you’ll be able to keep up with message alerts, phone calls, podcasts, music, and more by connecting your phone.
While you’re enjoying your music and podcasts, your enjoyment will be taken to a whole new level thanks to an available Bose Performance Series audio system. Bose makes everything sound good, and this system comes with 14 speakers (yes, you read that right) specially programmed to deliver the best audio possible. So, your listening experience will be well-enhanced with this system. If you are a music person, this is an investment you will want to consider, and the XT6 provides a great environment in which to play some music, go for a drive, and take a load off.
In-Vehicle technology has evolved so much over the years, especially over the past decade. Some vehicles are going over the top with technology, while Cadillac continues to find the right balance of keeping up with the tide and making the driving experience convenient and holding to traditional and beautiful interior features.
Details Matter
There is a reason Cadillac is such an instantly-recognizable name. They pay attention to detail. When it comes to crafting a luxury vehicle, every detail matters, even if it seems insignificant. This is what many designers fail to understand, but not at Cadillac. There is a great deal of detail in the XT6, and we think you will notice it. With its sharp exterior, inviting interior, and premium technology, the 2022 Cadillac XT6 will have you riding like never before.
