• Published 0-60-mph times have been in the low 7-second range, whereas competitors both larger and smaller tend to be in the 6's.A nine-speed automatic and front-wheel drive are standard, but all-wheel drive is an option on both trim levels.
• Also, there are no engine options other than the 2.0-liter turbo-four, even if that engine is plenty potent for this small crossover.While there is no longer the base Luxury trim for 2025, what’s left is probably where you’d want to start with a luxury vehicle.
• That gives you a little more freedom to pick and choose what you want to pay for, but much of that seems like it ought to be standard in a Cadillac.Cadillac has eliminated the base Luxury trim, making the Premium Luxury the entry-level XT4.
