The 2018 Cadillac XT4 will sit under the the XT5 and will rival against other models like the new BMW X3 or the Lexus NX crossovers.

The carmaker has decided to build up a future XT4 because of the segment`s 94 percent increase in sales, which will make it even more profitable in the years to come.

Cadillac`s president Johan de Nysschen stated that there is also an ”obvious gap” between the XT5 and the Escalade, filled by a larger three-row crossover, which will take on the upocming Audi Q7 or Volvo XC90, starting mid 2018.

“I think a very well-executed, three-row crossover could fit in quite nicely,” he said. “It’s an important segment with a lot of volume,” de Nysschen also mentioned.

So far, there are no full details concerning the styling nor the performance of the future 2018 Cadillac XT4, but rumors have it that it will share a lot of similar features with the XT5 model.

Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen stated in an interview that the all-new “2015 Cadillac XT5 not only enters the most popular segment in the worldwide luxury auto market, it is the first of four new crossovers from Cadillac and it’s pivotal to our ongoing growth.”

The model will be first launched on the US market in 2017 and will feature a new and more powerful engine, also found on the ATS and CTS sedans. It is about the 3.6-liter V6 mill, with 310 horsepower and equipped with the Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation technology, which switches off in low or moderate rates, allowing an important fuel-saving.

The second largest market where the 2015 Cadillac XT5 will be launched next year is China, the model being offered with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, hooked to the now available eight-speed transmission and all-wheel drive system.

That’s right. They’re doing it. And it’s going to cost a lot more than the standard model. But the price is sustainable, anyway, due to the new specifications and improvements the V version will have. In fact, 2016 market will beg for another car of this kind as it is expected to be the most powerful SUV in the US.

So the V version of Escalade SUV will proudly work on a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine with 640 Horsepower and 630lb-ft (853Nm) of torque. Yes, it will be powerful, but it will also weight a lot. However, let’s say the design compensates the weight.

As you can see in the photo below, the upcoming Cadillac Escalade V will look similar to all the V models. It will definitely have bigger wheels to sustain the bodywork, and a lower ride height. Apart from this, the bumpers and the rear will experience new small changes.

The car is supposed to be available on the market in 2016 after its debut at the New York Auto Show.

As expected, the 2016 Cadillac CT6 PHEV will use a hybrid powertrain, keeping the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine from the CT6, which will closely work with two electric motors to produce an overall of 33 horsepower and 586 Nm of torque. This would not be possible without the 18.4 kWh lithium ion-battery pack mounted at the back between the seats.

Apart from the good performance, the 2016 Cadillac CT6 PHEV will also receive some performance systems worth mentioning, like the Regen on Demand system, which provides better handling and improved regeneration when braking.

Another important aspect is that the 2016 Cadillac CT6 PHEV will also benefit the three driving modes, also seen on the standard Cadillac CT6, such as the Normal model, the Sport mode, which comes with a more aggressive stance, as well as the Hold mode, which gives you the possibility of deciding on using the conventional engine or the electric power alone. Prices are expected to be revealed in a couple of months, when the plug-in hybrid version of the CT6 will reach its dealerships.

But the good news do not stop here, as the Cadillac carmaker is aslo planning to launch more high-end models, which will directly compete against the S-Class, the A8 or the BMW 7-Series.
