Does the new American brand Audi Q7-SUV fight the equivalent of sense with the Rorty 306 hp. with V6? It's Cadillac playing catch-up, a familiar role for the still-struggling American premium brand. The catch in this case is a less-than-brutal three-row SUV with a touch of sporty class. The XT6 sits between the huge, detached-chassis Escalade and the smaller XT5 in the interior, making it its closest counterparts here to the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90. It is powered by 306 hp. A 3,6-litre V6 petrol mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission, and this sporty version comes with four-wheel drive, paddle shifters, faster steering ratio, 21 inch alloy wheels, adaptive dampers behind its five-link rear and MacPherson front suspension and brake-torque control. The XT6 comes fairly well-equipped in standard form, with power-folding rear seats, meaning an 8.0 on-screen infotainment system, leather upholstery, trunk, power, sunroof, steering wheel with heating and three-zone climate control. Options include night vision and rather heftily price packages. The interior is rather opulent, but presented with a rather bewildered constellation of materials, textures, finishes and hues, as found in most Cadillacs of the recent past. The rival Kia Tellurida costs a few thousand dollars less while delivering a warmer interior that's better planned too.
