2022 Volvo XC40 vs. 2022 Cadillac XT4

The automotive world is getting smaller. The 2022 Cadillac XT4 and the 2022 Volvo XC40 are two cars that share many similarities but also have unique features. If you want to buy one of these vehicles or learn more about them, this article is for you!

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 2022 Volvo XC40's sleek and modern design features a coupe-like profile. The front end features a large grille with a distinct Volvo emblem, while the headlights are slim and angled upward to give the car a sportier look. The lower portion of the car also has a more aggressive look with sharp lines on its bumper and side skirts.

The 2022 Cadillac XT4's exterior design is modern but less distinctive than its rivals in this class. Its grille is smaller than those of other cars in this segment and does not feature Cadillac's signature crest; instead, it has an elegant chrome trim piece that goes across both sides. This helps give it an upscale appearance without being ostentatious or overbearing like some luxury brands can be.

• Interior Design

The 2022 Volvo XC40 has a sleek, minimalist design that's ideal for an urban vehicle. The instrument panel is clean and uncluttered, with an 8-inch touchscreen display in the center console providing all the information you need while driving. There are also physical buttons on both sides of the steering wheel to control audio volume, phone calls, climate settings, and more. The dash is covered in soft-touch materials that create a luxurious feel without being overbearing; there's even a glass roof option for those rainy Seattle mornings when you're running late for work!

2022 Cadillac XT4 takes interior design seriously-and if you look at any other brand from this company, it's not hard to see why. This crossover has plenty of room inside, thanks to its elevated seating position (thanks to its raised ride height), wide door openings and large windows that offer excellent visibility no matter where your gaze falls upon its bodywork. While it may not be quite as luxurious as some of its competitors (like the 2022 Volvo XC40), it still manages to pull off an upscale vibe without breaking your bank account!

Technology & Safety

The XC40 comes with a standard backup camera and available parking assist technology. The Cadillac XT4 does not offer a backup camera but comes with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert as optional equipment.

Volvo's Pilot Assist is one of the best self-driving features on the market. When engaged, this system can help maintain lane position at speeds between 30 mph (48 km/h) and 80 mph (129 km/h). In addition to its adaptive cruise control, which keeps pace with traffic flow up to 25 mph (40 km/h), the Volvo XC40 also has lane keep assist with steer support that uses subtle steering inputs to keep you in your lane even on winding roads or when entering tricky corners at speed. Both SUVs have similar systems that monitor traffic flow around them for safe merging onto freeways.

Performance

The 2022 Cadillac XT4 features a 2.0L turbocharged I-4 engine with an 8.1-liter V8 engine. The 2022 Volvo XC40 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder or a hybrid electric powertrain option that includes a 1.5L 3 piston engine and two electric motors (one on the front axle and one on the rear).

In terms of MPG: The 2022 Volvo XC40 gets 27 city/30 highway/29 combined mpg compared to the 2022 Cadillac XT4's 22 city/27 highway/24 combined mpg rating.

The Bottom Line

These two compact crossovers are relatively close in price. However, if you're considering either car for your next purchase, we'd recommend going with the Volvo XC40 every time. Its more powerful engine and better performance give it an edge over its competitor-and as a bonus: it's built by one of Sweden's most beloved automakers!
