Cadillac XT4 is equipped with the eighth-generation Ecotec series engine from General Motors, featuring a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. It delivers a maximum horsepower of 237 PS, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and a maximum power output of 174 kW. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5000 rpm and its maximum torque between 1500 to 4000 rpm. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The Cadillac XT4 has a body size of 4600 mm in length, 1881 mm in width, and 1627 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2779 mm. The minimum ground clearance is 191 mm, and the vehicle weight is 1652 kg.
To be honest, I really enjoy studying the powertrain configurations of these American SUVs. The Cadillac XT4 is equipped with General Motors' latest 2.0T turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, codenamed LSY. The standout feature of this powertrain is its cylinder deactivation technology - it can shut down two cylinders for better fuel efficiency during highway cruising and automatically reactivate all four cylinders in stop-and-go traffic. With 237 horsepower, it provides ample power for an SUV of this size. When I drove my friend's XT4 on mountain roads, I noticed strong acceleration kicks in after the RPM passes 2000. The matched 9-speed automatic transmission shifts up very proactively, though it hesitates slightly when downshifting during sudden acceleration. Remember to use 95-octane gasoline, otherwise it may trigger the check engine light.
