2019款凯迪拉克XT3谍照近日曝光，不过由于车身进行了重度伪装，因此无法看起细节。但预计该车很多车型元素将取自包括凯雷德等兄弟车型。从照片看，该车的尾灯组延伸至D柱，而车头的的点阵LED或许是量产版前大灯的一部分。XT3预计很多部件都将与2018款雪佛兰Equinox和GMC Terrain共享，包括低价车型采用前轮驱动，高端版本提供全轮驱动。由于这辆原型车提供了中冷，因此预计该车将搭载2.0升四缸涡轮引擎，这台取自雪佛兰Equinox和GMC Terrain的引擎功率为188千瓦/252马力，扭矩353牛米。车厂已经宣布将于明年下半年发布XT3，随后将作为2019款车型上市。虽然车厂并未宣布价格，但预计起价略高于3万美元（约合人民币20.6万元）。

 

2019 Cadillac XT3 caught hiding sharp body beneath heavy camo

With the Escalade being visible from the moon due to its sheer size and the XT5 also being quite large, Cadillac certainly needs to downsize. It’s doing so with this, a compact crossover tentatively called "XT3." Judging by the amount of camouflage the prototype is wearing, an official reveal is unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future. Once the disguise will come off, expect a sharp body taking cues from its bigger brother and quite possibly from the Escalade luxobarge as well.

 

As a matter of fact, you can actually see the taillights extend into the D-pillars in the same vein as on the Escalade. Those are provisional clusters, while the dotted LEDs at the front might be a part of the production-ready headlights.

 

The 2019 XT3 is expected to share many of its bits and pieces with the recently unveiled 2018 Chevy Equinox and the 2018 GMC Terrain, so expect cheaper versions to be front-wheel drive while the more expensive ones will have a grippy AWD setup. Taking into account the prototype clearly had an intercooler; it means the production model will be offered with at least one turbocharged four-cylinder engine like the other two models. A 2.0-liter could very well be in the offing with 252 horsepower (188 kilowatts) and 260 pound-feet (353 Newton-meters) of torque as seen in the Equinox & Terrain duo.

 

Cadillac has already announced plans to introduce the XT3 in the second half of next year, so it will go on sale as a 2019MY. There’s no word on pricing just yet, but the brand’s entry-level crossover to start from a little over $30,000 and boast Caddy’s new infotainment system.
