Which vehicles use the XT5 engine?

Cadillac CT4, Cadillac CT5, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XT4, and Cadillac XT6 all use the same engine as the XT5. The engine is a 2.0-liter, 237-horsepower or 241-horsepower four-cylinder turbocharged engine, model LSY, with the difference being the distinction between high and low power versions. More details about this engine are as follows: 1. This engine is equipped with variable valve management technology, also known as variable cylinder technology, which can change the position of the engine's camshaft to close the intake valves of unused cylinders based on the vehicle's speed, thereby achieving the goal of fuel savings. 2. Although this engine is a four-cylinder engine, in economy mode, it can operate using two cylinders to maintain vehicle operation. This cannot be felt while driving, nor is it displayed on the dashboard, as everything is automatically controlled by the computer. In other words, when the vehicle does not require power, it uses two cylinders, and when power is needed, it uses all four cylinders.
I've owned the XT5 for almost a year now. This SUV comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers ample horsepower and smooth acceleration, making it perfect for daily commutes or weekend family outings. The engine operates quietly, with minimal noise on startup, and it's quite fuel-efficient on highways, averaging around 9 liters per 100 kilometers—much better than the older 3.6L version. I've compared it to other SUVs like the Lincoln Nautilus, and Cadillac's engine tuning feels more refined, offering smoother acceleration without sudden jolts, especially in city traffic where the throttle response is quick yet gentle. Maintenance has been hassle-free, with long service intervals—just regular visits to the 4S dealership. Overall, it's an ideal choice for urban drivers like me who prioritize comfort and reliability.
