2020 Cadillac XT6 vs 2020 Lexus RX

Introduced to the market last year, the new Cadillac XT6 offers its owners a luxurious ride, a host of technologies and a variety of trim levels and models. It compares in size to the Lexus RX, but it offers a slightly more balanced drive and offers more for less.

The 2020 Cadillac XT6 is new to a segment where consumers typically seek the most modern offering. It’s normal after all. When we look for a luxury SUV, we don't want to compromise, and the XT6 really doesn't demand compromise. The Lexus RX has a lot to offer, too, but it can't compete with the XT6 under the hood or in the cabin.

The 2020 Cadillac XT6 is powered as standard by a 3.6-litre V6 engine developing 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. This engine offers superior performance and more power as standard than any other engine, including the Lexus RX. The latter is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 295 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque which, while powerful, does not offer the same level of acceleration or performance as the Cadillac XT6's V6 engine.

The 2020 Cadillac XT6 comes standard with space for 7 passengers and was built from the ground up to accommodate everyone in comfort. The Lexus RX was originally built to accommodate just 5 passengers and the optional 7-seat version offers less space than the Cadillac XT6.

The XT6 offers 356 litres of cargo space as standard even with all seats in place, while the 7-passenger RX L offers just over 200 litres. You quickly see that the Cadillac is first and foremost a 7-passenger SUV and it delivers if you're looking for space. The 2020 XT6 offers over 2,200 litres in total in the trunk compared to 1,594 litres of space in the Lexus RX L.
