You talked about having the engine closer to the firewall. When auto makers first started with sideways engines they were closer to the firewall, it created so much heat that it was degrading and blowing head gaskets and valve cover gaskets. So the solution is to give the engine some breathing room and not trap the heat between the engine and firewall.
I 1000% approve this message
😮😢:
I love the new ‘boxy’ body style Cadillac is going with. It reminds me of the older box body GM vehicles in the 70’s and 80’s
I admire how hard you work dude it's respectable and your videos are always above my expectations good job my man
I’m a simple man, I see a new Raiti’s Rides video, I click like
You are the man!
@Mild Dark Humor; Right on brother.
@@metaljew4456 Thanks brother!
"Lets go ahead and
fire it up and see what this v6 sounds like ".. im stilling waiting to hear it 🤣😂🤣 Major ZONK
Trust me I felt the same way!
LOL - I saw your comment and was waiting for this moment in the video and when it cut to the rear-exhaust shot, I legit sat here waiting for him to start it up THEN realized he was revving it. *ZONK*
@Kenny Powers a year later still waiting 😂😂😂
And still !!!
Love your reviews Raiti. I can tell you do it cuz you love doing it. Keep up the good work.
Not many reviews i have watched without skipping.NICELY DONE!
great job Joe god bless brother I said it week or before the month was over u was going to hit that mark I'm so excited for the channel Joe straight from the heart
Hey Joe Raiti. Came across your channel few weeks ago. I'm enjoying your reviews and your catch-phrases; zonk, vitamin D, and business end. Keep up the great work good sir. And yes, please please please review as many SUV's & crossovers that you can, all sizes and shapes.
I needed to comment something here before 100k. It was an honour to join in your journey since those days of a few hundred subs.
I just picked up my 2022 XT6 Premium Luxury last week and I couldn't be happier with it! Terrific looking and functional, great space and comfort, reasonably priced for it's segment, great tech and safety features, plenty of power and a smooth ride! It's my first domestic US car brand purchase in 20 years.
Any issues with the car after one year?? I'm thinking of getting the same car
@@mrreginator No issues other than routine maintenance. The car has been terrific and I still love it!
i love your reviews. id never get most of the cars you review but i still like watching them lol. really interesting and honest, which i like. i feel like a lot of people either totally shit on or totally drool over the cars in their reviews, showing an obvious bias which is misleading when watching a review. keep it up brother, almost at 100k
I watched today because yesterday a white one like this was pulling out of my neighborhood and I thought that looks pretty good. Nice fair review!
Great job Joe. I see there being massive deals on these in the future...
Awesome video as always 👍. Keep hitting homeruns!! Bringing the newest to us. Appreciate it 👍
Thanks Radell! stay tuned because there is more to come!
It's like they weren't even aware of what Lincoln was doing with the Aviator. I'm usually a Cadillac fan but needs more power and standard magnetic ride control. A more upscale interior wouldn't hurt either.
I totally agree with you Steven!
But doesn't ride like a PROPER CADILLAC anymore like a Cadillac Brougham/Fleetwood like a Floaty Land Yacht now that B******DIZING that CADILLAC BRAND sadly!Last REAL CADILLAC are the 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood!I've been in a 1959 Cadillac 62 series convertible once and rode beautifully like a Floaty Land Yacht in a good way in a museum oncr!But now they don't make them what they used to sadly in a newer Cadillacs!Even seen the reviews that rode more like a Toyota Camry than a CADILLAC in a bad way!
Definitely agree with the zonks on this one. Cadillac had a gem but cut some things that really would have made it a great vehicle.
Great review as always!
I don't watch any other car review channel if i really want new vehicle information. thank you sir !!
Great review like always, you should be a car design consultant. You really know what a family car guy needs.
100k subscribers not bad 👍🏽🎉🍾🎊✊🏽🍻 congrats
Good pick on this Cadillac SUV, I actually like it!
I honestly prefer the interior design the XT6 has compared to the Lincoln aviator I hate tablet style infotainment screens!!!!! Both cars are very nice and both are worth the price tags the Cadillac and Lincoln just do it in different flavors!!!
Thank you so much for this review. My wife and I just purchased a 2020 and will pick it up next week. Did not know about the head-up display or the mirror camera. I am looking forward to driving this Caddy!
Hi.. did you love your cadillac? How reliable is it? I'm thinking of purchasing soon
The interior looks like a nice place to be, better than the Escalade featured in the linked video from August.
Nice video! Enjoyed your review. I would just add one correction about the tow capacity. The 1000 lbs. tow capacity is for the 4 cylinder engine only. The V6 that you are testing here, has a tow capacity of 4000 lbs. At least that's what I have been coming up with in my research. Just a FYI for anybody who may be turned off of this vehicle because of the towing capacity figure. 4000 lbs. is much more in line with other vehicles in this size category.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Great review as always, Joe! Appreciate you, buddy! I’ll take a white Hyundai Palisade Limited. Side profile & tail lights are very similar. Same (if not more) tech. Lower price. Better warranty/fit/finish than this Traverse in a tuxedo imo.
I drove a 2020 XT six for three days loan to me from the Cadillac dealer on my CTS was being serviced at their shop. I absolutely love this car! The way it drove in the way it looked I loved it! So now I am considering buying one. I’m getting ready to watch this video and we’ll see if it changes my mind or not. Lol
Did you buy it?🤔
Maybe in the future they’ll be a dash cam integrated in the front and rear cameras that you can record when activated. Good job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
LOAD THE ROCKETS! 99K>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>🥳🎉🥳
so proud of you man!
Fun! Today showing 536k! Hockey stick growth in a year! I think I was onboard back then too.
Joe, my dude......my 1st ZONK to you. Been with you "on this journey" with nothing but love and support. But. You did Cadillac misjustice on this one. You "zonked" the SAME steering wheel that you give praise to in Mercedes products. Plus it is time for an "exhaust mic". Us supporters deserve real 'roar'. Constructive feedback......🍻
Be simple guys and keep watching and supporting this awesome reviewer raiti's rides
no name that’s so awesome of you to say!👍🏻
That camera on the top rear is for the rearview mirror, it still has the back up camera above the plate
Exterior is amazing, perfect mix of luxury and sport looking, major key is getting the interior more close to competing with the aviator. Or at least more aggressive engine options because the engine bay looks like there’s room for a lot more unless caddy is already working on that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and input! I appreciate you watching!
You're a hardworking man.
I've been trying to tell my sister about this car. She has a 2013 SRX. This is a nice ride imo
this is not a nice Cadillac they should have put a twin turbo on there and competed with that Ford with a 400 horsepower and they should have put an amp on the stereo system and I'm agree with him about that opening in the whole issue to put up power charger in there I'll see why Cadillac sales are down and I'll make it over interesting products
Joe, Cadillac is actually in business since 1902 not 1911. I'm old enough to remember their 50th anniversary when the "V" was put on the front and rear of the 1952 model in gold color to commemorate the anniversary.
This is my favorite SUV!! Good video Joe.
I am so glad that i can be the one to bring to you!
Very good test!
I was hoping they’d do one like this . Longer and more room and more seats. Be cool if the headroom was few inches higher. Nice!
Raiti, I'm zonking the XT6 because it's Buick brother the Enclave Avenue is priced better, packaged better and wasn't an after thought. Love what Buick is doing these days!
DANG SON. Raiti's Rides is 1k away from 100K!
Raiti, I'm gonna have to zonk this whole car.... Look at what Lincoln is offering with Avaitor for the same money. This whole car is one big ZONK 😂😂😂
I would go Lincoln in a heartbeat.
Agree!
Khari Manzini I’m gonna have to “Zonk!” your silly comment. Everybody doesn’t want a complex eco-boosted, dual turbocharged engine especially as their daily driver/family hauler. Some people want simpler, refined, more reliable naturally aspirated engines like Xt6’s 3.6 which comes with a twin-clutch AWD system standard on Sport trims. Lincoln doesn’t offer a naturally aspirated V6 or V8.
@@clintwalker2659 then get a Buick... Cadillac is supposed to be cutting edge....FWD and a ubiquitous 3.6L V6 is stone age tech by modern standards
@@clintwalker2659 and if thats the powertrain choice.... bring the price down.... like WAAAAY down.... They should be undercutting Lincoln by thousands
Great review as always 👍
Ricardo D thanks my friend!
Informative video. Looks as though Cadillac just threw a car in that mid suv slot with out any real attempt to compete with even medium competition. Reminds me of an article in the 80's of when there was a head to head review of Lexus, Infinity, Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, and Cadillac (to have an American car in the mix). The Cady was last in every trial except size and wood. Not much has changed. Will consider one of the others.
My mom wants to get a 2021 Escalade! I also showed her this and the Palisade because their my three favorite SUV right now
Good choices!
I LOVE this interior color. Also people are talking about price but failing to mention this leases for literally HUNDREDS (multiple) less per month than the competition from BMW Mercedes and Lincoln
Great review!
Thank you so much for saying that Gwen!
There are two cameras on the back. The camera on the spoiler is the rear view mirror camera and the main camera is where the hatch button is.
Joe, another home-run brother! 👊🏾👊🏾. I feel that Cadillac has taken a step backwards. They are no longer the top brand. The Escalade use to be the SUV to have, but they made it too large and super expensive!
Man, glad I went with the Aviator...:)
I love the Cadillac brand, I've owned 3, but they NEED to step up their interior game with the new CT4,5 and Escalade, Lincoln is kicking ass with their interiors recently.
If only Lincoln could improve its dealer network. That's one advantage Cadillac seems to have
Please review a Lincoln Aviator. Love your vids!
Please don't
He did...:) I'd definitely go with the Aviator!!
Not going to lie, I do like this SUV. I like the design outside a lot more than the inside to be honest.
With that being said, I would take the Lincoln Aviator even if it's a bit more expensive because that car does look very unique and expensive. The Aviator is around 80k very much loaded. I think it's worth it.
I don't know what's the price for a loaded XT6 but like I said, I would pick the Aviator even if it's a bit more expensive.
In the end it's all about personal preference like always.
Some cars may be "better" than other's, in the way that some clothes may be "better" than others, but at the end of the day, if one car looks better than the other, I'll take it. They all do what they're supposed to well, so it just comes down to the look that fits you best.
I love the analog and less digital feel and look
The founders of GM were like let’s make affordable reliable products. Gm 2019 let’s make expensive unreliable products
I feel your pain!
Anthony Molina that doesn’t even make sense. How would you know if this XT6 is unreliable when it’s brand new and the first Cadillac XT6 ever made?
mybro727 gm quality has gone downhill they don’t put as good quality control anymore.
@@anthonymolina7416 I totally agree with you here
Anthony Molina blah blah blah i don’t see the poor quality in this XT6. It doesn’t have flimsy plastic like what’s found in the Lincoln Navigator. You have GM confused with the General Motors of yesteryear.
It’s a nice overall SUV. Just think there’s better options. Ford Explorer or Land Rover but I have always liked how Cadillac’s ride. But then again I grew up with Cadillac’s so have a bit of a soft spot for them.
I'm here for the Zonks!!!!
I never liked how big and bulky Cadillac’s suv are but this one is great
I think Gm needs a lot of improving but they have been first with tech like the rearview camera mirror that a lot of manufacturers are copying now
Dude this thing is nice
The badge on the side looks better without color. I wouldn’t zonk that. It goes well with the white color.
Please to the videos add a shot of a night driving that’s I want to see and I believe lot of people too we want to see those headlights in action !
Not so bad of a vehicle. I like the pearl white color on it but I’ll zonk the alloy wheels and put black rims on. $65k for it is a bit ridiculous but hey you can always get it used with a good price
Beautiful Cadillac !
I am so glad that I could share these with you!
Looks like a GM product, no super cruise, what were they thinking at this price point and faux air vents. Great review Joe.
Edward Brinson Mercedes-Benz GLS has faux air vents and cost even more than this.
I totally agree with you!
@@mybro727 They are out of control as well!
What lunatic is paying $60K for this thing?
AGREED!
Same set of nuts that'll pay $60K or more for anything on four wheels that depreciates.
A wealthier person who feels cheap driving the $57,000 Chevy version...
i would
Zackly
It's the Shaggin Wagon! Chicks love it!
GM’s Super Cruise is state of the art and is the best system of any car...including Tesla and the Germans. It’s only going to be available on the 2020 CT6 & CT5. Non the XT6 for 2020 because they’re still working on major upgrades. But when the new 2021 Escalade premiers it’s definitely going to have it and I hope they Include it on the complete Cadillac line up.
I hate it when they don't include the price other than that, good informative video and grear detailed.
The price was included. Thanks for watching and your kind words.
great video as usual however, this XT6 isn't really worth the asking price. Keep making great content bro....
Thanks Gordon! I totally agree with you!
lights lit up like Christmas tree
I love this new caddy, but I am confused also like Acura rdx... thanks for your video!!!
Smurf Bronx RDX is the wiser choice. Better power to weight ratio, better looking, high MPG, and much more value for the money.
Maybe next year they will remember to make it on the Traverse Platform. Wow
I'll take a new Vette with some floor mats for the same price.
AGREED!
Yeah the new C8 was on my mind also👍
@amill1563; Your comment makes no sense and I agree with you 💯% C8 makes me DROOOOOOOOL.
@@metaljew4456 LoL
Who would compare a luxury 7 passenger SUV to a 'vette?
Thanks Joe now I know what not to buy
I wish Cadillac would’ve updated this infotainment system and also released a V trim with a 3.0 TT or a 3.6 TT it’s so much potential that GM leaves out
Hi Joe 🙂. I've been looking at a 2021 AWD Sport XT6. Since it's been a year since you did this video, what's the chance of talking you into doing a video on the Sport for comparison? Doesn't look like I'll be getting my 2020 Shelby GT500 anytime soon 😩 since I need the room for 5 Chow Chows lol.
The grill on these new ones sets them apart from any of the previous generations and really makes me think Cadillac when I see them. They are doing a great job with the styling imo.
Until you get inside and look at the center stack OMG. God forbid you open up the hood and you look at that six out of the Chevy Colorado that's just not right man. And the in-house 9-speed pretty craptastic transmission as well. Only decent transmission GM has is the one they co-developed with Ford and that would be the 10 speed.
@@HiPlains1 I totally agree. I am more of Ford guy myself and I despise a lot of GM'S products. I've just always found the triangular design on Cadillacs to be eye catching
I like the size of the screen.
Folks, do yourself a favor. Shop around for three row luxury SUVs. Include a look/see/drive of the Volvo XC-90 Inscription. I sure did. Bought the Swede.
I really appreciate your input and perspective! Thank you so much for watching!
You mean you bought the Chinese. Unless you purchased a Volvo tracker trailer, you bought a chinese SUV.
@@stephenmaner8350
Yes, Geely is Chinese - - -
FYI: This from "Forbes" / David Kiley / October 16th, 2018... "Doubters of the deal expected Geely to rob Volvo of what made the brand unique. Instead, the company has bolstered Swedish management and mpowered them to stick to what they do best-Scandinavian design and peerless safety engineering.
"
"The biggest commitment to growth for Volvo by Geely is the opening of a new manufacturing assembly plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina near Charlotte. Volvo is building the S60 sedan right now in the new plant, and will add the XC90 in 2021."
-
Geely is leaving Volvo alone ... The XC-90 is one beautiful, well built machine...
"Bought the Swede," Volvo is actually some Chinese crap that can't manage to make a reliable infotainment system.
It’s a nice car I saw it inside the Temecula mall. But it honestly looks like a 45k car. But the interior and exterior are gorgeous.
That is very true!
Mmmm I’m a sucker for an Escalade but this is a perfect size and the same quality that the Escalade has. Hmmm
I wish they would have built it on the Traverse platform instead of the Acadia, it would just a bit bigger on the inside and it would have made a huge difference
I love it
Thank you for the spec comparisons, I think its a gorgeous car but i wouldnt pay more than 40k for it...
This dude had me using the word Zonk lol
That's awesome! You are not the first! ;-)
great review but i cut the video on the price point
Please review more Cadillacs
I had a SRX, traded after 17k miles. So many problems. I would never spend that much money again on a problem car.
Great video as usual. The big downside maybe is the engine, this car deserves more.
Yeah it's just the Chevy parts bin they went into same old motor as the Chevy Colorado.
I totally agree Cadillac should've remade thier famous Northstar V8 for this the motor looks so out of place in there 3.6 is a decent motor but this is Cadillac not Chevrolet
Cadillac always look good
FYI. Add $625 and the towing package (FWD or RWD) and the car tows 4000 pounds (basically be larger cooling system and a hitch). I got that package.
Also, the AWD has a much smoother ride. It's obvious. While I would have LOVED to get better gas mileage and pay less, that extra weight keeps rougher roads smoother (like adding weight to a pick-up). Plus the AWD adds value to the smoothness. Don't liken to the sales person. Try them both on a rough road. or ask any service adviser who tests them both. It's obvious...
The fun goes even further if you have members within the coming vibrant Cadillac XT6 community each one of them customize the interior of his/her Cadillac XT6 SUV and beyond as requested to be filfilled by Cadillac. Custom approved ammendments program issued by Cadillac, that is...
Maybe you can customize the padding-cushion pattern, or the carpeting look, are perhaps added an array of RGB illuminated trim interior decorative amenities, whatever lah...
Very good point!
Really spruce it up!
I trust your opinion, please help out, which one to buy? Cadillac xt6 or Hyundai Palisade?
put an LS V8 small block in this bro. this will be crazy!
AGREED!
Do the second row seats fold flat, or do they fold with a bit of slope?
Uh, there are two rear cameras; the one up top is displayed on the rear-view mirror. The standard back-up camera is exactly where you'd expect to see it, which is just above the license plate.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I bought a new 2020 AWD Sport. The list price was $63K. In April, 2021, $10.5K off the sticker with $1500 off with conquest $$'s. Add my $2K GMCard savings plus another $2500 GM certificate that I had. So all in, about $15K off or $48K. Still, SPENDY! If I wanted a dealer demo (service loaner), those go for $12K-$12.5K off (less my GMCard and $2500 certificate). Those have from 1500-3500 miles (the dealer buys them for less and can pass on that savings).
My point is, you better get a "great" deal or expect to get massively thumped. My guess is this will cost me $5K per year for the next three years. Or about $33K in 3 years from now. If the darn car didn't look so sexy, logic would have taken over and I would have bought the fugly Toyota Highlander for under my "great deal". While I liked the Kia 3 seat SUV, I just could not drive one down the road. One day....
Starts at $52,695. Cadillac is out of their minds. Got to bring more. Plus nobody knows what an XT4 is vs an XT 5 vs an XT6. Just XT crap. Too many similar products and no clear differentiation other than one is 32, one 44 and the other 53k. Reality is they probably all cost the same to build!
