ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Cadillac XT4?
The 2024 Cadillac XT4 marks a notable regression in MotorCaliber's safety scoring, dropping four points from the 2023 model year's 80/100 Strong rating to 76/100 Average. The primary driver of that slide is a weak avoidance-tech sub-score of just 2 out of 10, which signals that forward collision warning and lane departure warning are not uniformly standard across all trim configurations for this model year. The crash-protection sub-score of 56 out of 70 is respectable, anchored by the 4-star rollover result and a No Tip outcome on the dynamic test, but the absence of frontal and side NHTSA star ratings means a significant portion of crash-protection performance is simply unknown from federal data. The defect record sub-score of 17.5 out of 20 is the strongest component, reflecting a single recall tied to an owner's manual mismatch rather than a mechanical or safety-critical defect. However, the 27 unverified complaints, including 9 alleged brake concerns and 7 alleged forward collision avoidance issues, are worth monitoring as the vehicle ages into the used market.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Cadillac XT4 perform in crash tests?
The 2024 Cadillac XT4 received a 4-out-of-5-star rollover rating from NHTSA, with a 15-percent rollover risk. Its dynamic tip assessment resulted in "No Tip," indicating stability in that specific test. Federal test data does not include ratings for frontal or side crash modes, so no evaluation of those aspects can be made.
