凯迪拉克总裁Johan de Nysschen表示，该品牌小型跨界车正式命名为“XT4”，而非先前传言的XT3。XT4填补了凯迪拉克车系中的空白，其定位在XT5中级车型之下。谍照记者曾拍到重度伪装的测试车，其造型风格类似该品牌大型CUV，XT4或许将与最新款雪佛兰Equinox和GMC Terrain共享内部结构。该车入门级车型将采用前轮驱动，而更多版本或许将提供全轮驱动。谍照显示，前脸内部能看到中冷，预计该车将搭载雪佛兰Equinox和GMC Terrain的2.0升四缸涡轮引擎。De Nysschen还表示，凯迪拉克品牌计划在未来两年推出五款车型，在XT4上市之后将每隔半年推出一款。凯迪拉克还将推出一款定位在XT5和凯雷德之间的一款更大的CUV。另外据传还有一款定位低于ATS的小型（可能采用前轮驱动）轿车，主要以奥迪A3和奔驰CLA车型为竞争对手。

 

Cadillac XT4 is official name for brand's new crossover below XT5

Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen says that the brand’s upcoming smaller crossover goes by the name XT4, not XT3 as in previous rumors.

 

The XT4 fills the hole in Caddy’s lineup below the midsize XT5 and would tentatively arrive in the second half of 2018. Heavily camouflaged test mules are already on the road. Underneath styling like the brand’s larger CUVs, the XT4 would possibly share underpinnings with the latest Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain. The basic trim might be front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive would probably widely available. The spy pics seem to show an intercooler behind the front fascia, so expect the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Chevy and GMC’s models to be in the XT4 powertrain range.

De Nysschen also outlined plans to introduce five vehicles in two years – one every six months – once the XT4 hits the road, according to GM Authority. A larger CUV to slot between the XT5 and Escalade is among the other models potentially on the way. Another rumored product is a small (possibly front-wheel drive) sedan that would fit below the ATS and compete against the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class.
