00037169 1t 03/28/19 10 THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY SENTINEL MARCH 28, 2019 AUTO The smallest Cadillac in years embraces modern trends

By Brady Holt @BradyHoltAutos Small used to be an anathema to Cadillac. The brand’s style of luxury was achieved through maximum spaciousness and imposing size. Anything smaller than a boat was a weak compromise, exemplified by the 1982 Cimarron, which was es- sentially a Chevy Cavalier with leather upholstery.

Auto Drive By Brady Holt

The historic Cadillac legacy lives on in the Escalade full-size SUV. As the brand struggles to sell its sedans, large or small, Cadillac has also launched its smallest new vehicle since the Cimarron. And as with the Escalade, Cadillac is going taller. We’re talking about the all-new 2019 Cadillac XT4 crossover, which is Detroit’s hottest challenge to such excellent compact and subcompact models as the Acura RDX, BMW X1 and Volvo XC40. The XT4 bakes the brand’s signature styling cues — which include vertical headlights and taillights that allude to Cadillac’s tail-fin heritage — into an agreeably PHOTOS BY BRADY HOLT pugnacious little body and throws in The 2019 Cadillac XT4, priced from $35,790, competes with such premium compact crossovers as Acura RDX, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
