General Motors Co.’s Cadillac luxury arm debuted its all-new XT4 compact crossover vehicle this week at the New York auto show.
Power will come from a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The engine features cylinder deactivation and two valve lift settings.
The engine is mated with a 9-speed automatic transmission to provide a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rating of 27 mpg. A twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system is optional.
Other goodies include an electro-hydraulic brake assist system and active sport suspension. The latter uses electronic sensors to continuously monitor the road and make damping adjustments every 2 milliseconds.
