Which Cadillac XT6 years should you avoid?

No Cadillac XT6 model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Cadillac XT6 year has 15 complaints on file.

What are the best Cadillac XT6 years?

The Cadillac XT6 years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2023 (13), 2022 (15) and 2021 (18). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.

NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
