Welcome to Tech in the Car! I'm Oliver and this is the Cadillac XT6! I'm here at Santa
Monica,CA and we're on the beach it's behind me here big thank you to cadillac for loaning me this
car while i'm here in LA; let's talk some history cadillac started in 1911 a long time ago and
they're synonymous with luxury here in the us this car slots between the xt5 and the escalade which
if you're european like me you probably associate with the president rolling around it
and this car is about 70 000 as spec that i have here today let's start with the side
here so these wheels are 20 inch wheels they've got a silver finish to them they
look very classy cadillac logo is on the side here we've got this chrome finish
around the windows up here we've got a again chrome or aluminium finish down the side here
these handles are really cool because they've got little lights in them that are light up at night
which i really really like very unique and we've got a large rear quarter window here so it means
you've got good visibility on that third row of the car it's got a lot of presence in this car
at the front here we've got these slimline led headlights which look very very imposing and
futuristic the daytime running lights are down the sides here which look a lot like some of the
concept vehicles i've seen at the la auto show check out my videos on the channel of that we've
got the cadillac logo in the middle this imposing grille which has a chrome finish to it and then
there's a line running down the bonnet here which makes it very pointy there's a 360 camera here at
the front there's also a night vision camera somewhere over here and then we've got our
adaptive cruise and lane assist as well so it's a very imposing front of the car and you definitely
recognize the cadillac when it's coming up behind you but these slimline leds add to the futuristic
touch of the car let's have a look under the bonnet now and see what the engine looks like
this is a 3.6 liter v6 putting out 310 horsepower and over 200 pound feet of
torque and it's definitely got some get up and go when you're driving it let's talk about how much
this car costs it starts with a base of 54 000 this car has 14 000 of extras on it so it's 70
995 and it's got a premium sound system it's got a nice vision camera
it's got a heads-up display and loads of other cool stuff which we're going to have a look at
how much space is there in the rear of the xt6 obviously there's not a lot of space
with the seats up but if you put the seats down both rows go down the rear and the middle row
you can fit a lot of stuff at the back here you can probably fit a couple of meters long object
in there and probably a meter across as well so there's a lot of versatility in this vehicle
at the back as well and obviously it's got the power tailgate which is something that you would
expect here in the us and makes everything a lot more convenient from a premium vehicle which costs
around 70 000 dollars with the specs on this car with the options on this car i should say 400
here what does that mean well this costs 271 pound feet of torque which equates to around
meters and cadillac rounded up to 400 so this number doesn't really mean anything
it just looks cool on the back of the car how about rear space in the back of the or i should
say in the middle row of the xd6 you can see here there's plenty of space the other thing
you might notice as well is how airy it is in here we've got a panoramic sliding glass sunroof here
which really lets the light in and makes it feel very special back here and i also have to say i
love the alcantara headlighting here that's very very premium this car has a lot of premium touches
we'll look at the front as well but we've got the bose premium music system speaker system
and we've got this carbon fiber effect as well as well as really nice leather stitching with
alcantara in terms of space like i said i've got a lot of space you can see that tons of headroom
there are air vents on top here which also let you have air coming directly over your head
and at the back as well which is really good for the third row and then in the middle down
here we have our climate control settings and there's also two usbs as well and there's also
a cup holder which also has space for you to put other stuff as well like snacks in
the middle there so really really nicely designed to have a space in the back of the xt6 here well
you can see there's still plenty of room thanks to the full size rear quarter window that means the
line of the roof gives you lots of space here so i've got no issues back here we've
got the air vents up here which are very very helpful they're actually two usb type-c ports
here so you can charge your phone as well and there are cup holders on the side too
okay this isn't the most fun position if you're a full-size adult but for a short trip or if you
have children it will do the job personally for me i'd probably put these seats down and just use the
extra storage space i think that makes more sense to me but with the sunroof the air vents the usb
the nice big rear quarter window it means that you can travel back here very very comfortably
with outfeeding claustrophobic and crapped and you know that's something which is very very
rare i think in the back of a vehicle like this so good one cadillac that's fantastic especially with
the cup holders and usb as well and the air vents right up there and also the air vents underneath
the seats as well the even better ventilation back here this suv has a lot of options in it this is
like i said an suv with around 14 000 worth of options so it's incredibly well spent inside
here we have our bose performance sound system we have what looks like a carbon fiber finish
than if it is but it looks like it we've got this amazing panoramic glass sunroof and this car has
wireless android auto and wireless carplay and there's a cool little space where you can put your
phone here which is brilliant very easy to forget your phone because it is wireless and it's hidden
away but a great place to have it there's a little cubby here as well where you can store stuff
it doesn't actually have any connectivity in there but it is there and then we've got two cup holders
and one thing i do like about this car is it's got the assistant safety features as little buttons
around the screen so we've got our parking assist our auto start stop our laying assist
and our hazard lights on there and when it's off the buttons which would be on the climate control
vanish into thin air so you have no idea what they are but when you turn it on it all lights up
down here in the middle we have a jog wheel a bit like you can get on old audis and old bmws
everyone's moving away from that now in europe but you know it's a really good way of controlling
what's on the screen without having to actually use a touchscreen which can be a bit distracting
when driving and you've got your volume control here as well you've got your
forward and backwards button and your shortcut buttons to your phone into your media and to your
maps we've got a really nice chrome surround start stop button there which looks amazing and then on
the left hand side we've got a head up display controller now i really like this there's a up
display up here and it literally there's a button to adjust the height there's a button to adjust
the information and there's a button to adjust brightness so it's super super easy to access
the head-up control information lots of cars you have to go into the menus and i kind of think
head-up display should be quite easy to get to as well so really really nice tier it feels very
luxurious it's a 70 000 car so it should be we've got this leather with the stitching we've got the
alcantara we've got the carbon fiber finish all in all this is a really really nice tier these
seats are very comfortable they've got lumbar support they're electrically adjustable as well
and then obviously we've got another two rows of seats back there and then up here above us we
have our sunroof controls and also our on star and this mirror it can also be a camera if you
press a little button there it will then activate the camera which is on the back which don't forget
has a little washer so if it gets dirty you can always see what's going on so this is a really
good interior very luxurious to drive well i'm going to take it for a drive
now but a little spoiler it's really smooth to drive welcome to beverly hills 90210 i'm
driving through beverly hills to get to where i'm going which is the chinese theater in
hollywood to go see film and obviously i'm in the cadillac xt6 and to drive this car is very very
much about enjoying the luxury and the comfort because you feel like you're in a very very
secure and comfortable car there's no doubt about that the leather the alcantara the carbon fiber
finish the metallic finish on the speakers and also the suspension there's quite a few
dips between the streets here in beverly hills and i'm going over them and i can barely feel them so
this car's got really good acceleration we've got 310 horsepower of power 271 pound feet of torque
so i'm not lacking for any power should i need to overtake i just
overtook somebody that was driving very very slowly on these amazingly wide us roads and
you just feel like totally relaxed in this car this is a car which is designed for cruising
around i don't there's any doubt about that and i can see how if you had family members in this car
if you were carrying a lot of people in this car because there are of course three rows of seats in
this car they would also be relaxed you've got all the niceties you've got the usb you've got
you've got the cup holders on every row you've got vents for air conditioning on the back row as well
so you're not going to be sitting on that back third row and then suffering
from having a situation where you're not comfortable and you know and then if you
need the space you just put down those back seats and you've got a ton of space in this vehicle and
then as far as the driving goes you know it feels like you have confidence where you're going to
put the car now it's not a sports car it's not got precise turning in you know i turn the wheel a bit
to one side and the car has definitely not moved straight away but that's not what this is for
this car isn't a sports car it's about luxury it's about getting to where you want to go in comfort
and being very relaxed when you get there and you definitely get that with this cadillac with
all of the assistance features with the driver assistance features with the adaptive cruise
control with a head-up display with a night vision at nighttime so you can see what's around you
all of these things help improve the quality of driving this vehicle and make it a really really
comfortable place to be and i really enjoy driving this car it's a different experience from the
chevrolet colorado i was driving which was much more rugged and much more off-roady which is to
expect it because i was a bison and you could check out my video on that this is a lot more
relaxing and if you're after a suv a medium-sized suv which gives you that comfort and gives you
that relaxation it has all the amenities and all the technology that you can want then i would
suggest you check out a cadillac xt6 i hope you enjoyed this video about the cadillac xt6 if you
have any questions let me know down below again big thank you to cadillac for loaning me this car
