The 2026 Cadillac XT6 raises the bar for luxury SUVs by blending sophisticated design, cutting-edge technology, and refined power. With spacious seating for up to seven, advanced safety systems, and Cadillac’s signature attention to detail, the new XT6 delivers a premium experience for drivers who demand comfort and performance without compromise.
A More Refined Driving Experience
Under the hood, the 2026 XT6 continues with Cadillac’s proven 3.6L V6 engine, producing 310 horsepower, but now with improved fuel efficiency and a quieter cabin feel thanks to updated engine calibration and enhanced sound insulation.
For those seeking greater efficiency, the available 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine offers a solid balance of performance and mileage, ideal for urban commuting and long highway drives. Cadillac’s 9-speed automatic transmission remains, but it’s now optimized for smoother, quicker shifts, delivering a refined yet responsive drive.
Technology Designed Around You
The 2026 XT6 features a redesigned 33-inch curved LED display inspired by Cadillac’s electric LYRIQ, now standard across all trims. This immersive touchscreen seamlessly integrates:
- Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ (wireless)
- Google Built-In for Maps, Assistant, and Play Store
- Enhanced voice command system that adapts to your voice over time
An available AKG® Studio 14-speaker sound system turns your drive into a high-fidelity listening experience, while over-the-air (OTA) updates ensure your SUV is always up to date with the latest enhancements.
Safety That Learns With You
Safety is more intuitive than ever in the 2026 XT6. Cadillac’s SmartSense suite now includes:
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
- Intersection Assist to detect oncoming vehicles when turning
- Rear Pedestrian Alert
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance (available on select trims)
These features work together to support a safer, more relaxed driving experience, especially in traffic or during long-distance travel.
Interior Luxury You Can Feel
The cabin of the 2026 XT6 is all about premium comfort and modern craftsmanship. With real wood and leather accents, updated ambient lighting, and refined control surfaces, every detail is designed to elevate your drive.
Highlights include:
- Available semi-aniline leather seats with massage function
- Tri-zone climate control
- Power-folding third-row seating
- Ultraview® panoramic sunroof now standard across all trims
Second-row passengers can enjoy captain’s chairs or a bench seat configuration, depending on your preferred layout.
Practical Yet Polished
Though elegant, the XT6 remains a versatile performer. With over 78.7 cubic feet of max cargo space, a hands-free power liftgate, and under-floor storage, it adapts to your family’s needs—whether you’re road-tripping, grocery-hauling, or transporting sports gear.
Cadillac’s Active Chassis Control system also adjusts the suspension in real-time, giving you a buttery-smooth ride even on rough pavement or gravel roads.
