Considering your lifestyle is the first step to choosing the right body style and trim level (SUV, sedan, or crossover; full-sized, mid-sized, sport or luxury; gasoline, diesel, or electric) of your next Cadillac vehicle. Here are some tips for making this decision easier for you and your family.
Tips for Narrowing Down Your Next Cadillac Model Choice
1. Get to Know All the Cadillac Models
It pays to do a little web surfing first, so you can become familiar with your Cadillac model year choices and what types of vehicles are offered by your Cadillac dealership. But, the easiest way to get familiar with your options is to take a virtual tour that allows you to do a completely virtual walk-around of the newest Cadillac styles from the comfort of your home.
Get to know the major differences between each model group and what type of trim levels, engine options, and innovative technology are available. From here, it will be easier to choose the right Cadillac for your level of driving excitement and comfort.
2. Family Transportation and Personal Enjoyment
A great way to narrow down your new car choices is to look at how much interior space you will need. A mid-sized SUV is great for family outings, school drop-offs, and hauling cargo between the grocery store, after school activities, and home. While traditionally a Cadillac had not been associated with the collection known as the family car, it is now, due to the wide range of family-friendly features.
Consider the three rows of finely crafted comfort found in the 2020 Cadillac XT6 with standard 7 passenger seating and fingertip access to phone, radio, and a host of apps that will keep your family entertained and informed during all your holiday trips. Safety has been elevated in this model with features such as:
- Front pedestrian braking
- Forward collision alert
- Lane-keep assist
- Lane departure warning
3. Enjoy Business Luxury in a Cadillac XTS
When you spend long hours in a car performing corporate travel and client transportation, you want a luxury sedan that is spacious, comfortable and has good gas economy. The Cadillac XTS offers all three in a trim package that boasts a hushed but roomy interior and a silky smooth ride. With seating for up to 5, you can expect 21-28 highway miles per gallon.
The classic sedan body is still the most popular style for business travel due to excellent handling stability and the low ride height which makes cornering and changing direction smooth - in addition to the ease of entry and exit from the vehicle.
4. Cadillac XT4 - A Crossover for Adventure and Spirited Travel
Today's adventure-seeker no longer looks to the stripped-down, rough-riding SUV models of the past. The emphasis is on impressive ruggedness with comfort, cargo space, and off-road capabilities like that found in the 2020 Cadillac XT4 models equipped with all-wheel-drive. The new, Off-Road Mode will join the three drive modes currently offered on the XT4 – Tour, AWD, and Sport.
When the off-road mode is enabled, the instrument cluster changes to illuminate a specialized icon and enables a modified accelerator pedal response, all-wheel-drive torque, and a Traction Control System that overcomes tire slippage when traveling on wet or steep embankments.
5. Is a Cadillac Convertible on the Horizon?
Well, the answer could be 'yes', and if you enjoy the warm breeze and sunny skies while driving then keep a lookout for a Cadillac convertible offering in the near future. But until then, 4 concept styles along with the CT4 convertible body style that may be available along with current trim packages including- luxury, premium luxury, and sport levels that all boast their own collection of unique, luxury appointments. For the future CT4-V convertible, expect sleek 2-door coupe styling, and a shorter wheelbase for aesthetic purposes, along with a front end and hood that feature sinewy muscle lines.
6. The Lifestyle of a Compact, Luxury Sedan Owner
Convertibles are one of the most recognizable sports cars ever built, but Cadillac has no shortage of compact, yet luxurious sedan models in its line of CT4s. Built to fit the needs of singles and small families, the CT4 is quick and nimble with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, 8 speed transmission, and available AWD option. A Cadillac luxury sedan is a reasonably sized, fuel-efficient, and very affordable model for growing families.
When you opt for the sedan body style, you save a thousand dollars or more on a brand-new Cadillac vehicle. As an entryway into this luxury brand priced at around $32,000, the CT4 does not lack a host of luxury appointments. These include innovative styling in a sport or premium luxury model that sets these sedans apart from all the others.
7. Consider a Full-Sized, Luxury SUV
Build your own Cadillac Escalade from a wide range of trim levels, options, and models to fit your family's needs. The lifestyle that best fits a full-sized SUV is one that enjoys a wide range of family, outdoor, and travel activities. If you will be traveling on different types of terrain, the Escalade has the highest ground clearance, bulk, and height when compared to other models. You will thrive just as well off-road as you will gliding smoothly on paved surfaces.
Conclusion
If you desire superior ride quality in a versatile family SUV, then a Cadillac Escalade is a great choice to feel more secure and more comfortable no matter where the road leads.
