Cadillac Escalade IQ Range | All Model Years
At Turan-Foley Cadillac, we know most Escalade IQ shoppers have one big question in mind: how far will it really go on a charge. As an all-electric flagship SUV built on GM’s Ultium platform, the Escalade IQ delivers some of the longest driving range you can get in a luxury SUV today, and the numbers keep improving as new model years arrive.
In this guide, we walk through every Escalade IQ model year available so far, starting with the latest 2026 models, then looking at 2025. We will explain the official Cadillac estimated range, how independent testing compares, and how that translates to real world driving on the Gulf Coast and beyond.
As of late 2025, the Escalade IQ lineup begins with the 2025 model year and continues with 2026. There are no earlier Escalade IQ model years before 2025.
Understanding Escalade IQ Range Ratings
Before we talk specific years, it helps to understand what the numbers actually mean.
Cadillac publishes a Cadillac estimated driving range figure for the Escalade IQ based on internal testing. For both 2025 and 2026, that figure is well over 450 miles on a full charge, thanks to a large Ultium battery pack of about 205 kWh and dual motor all wheel drive.
Independent tests have already gone further than those estimates. In Edmunds’ EV Range Test, a 2025 Escalade IQ Sport 2 recorded 558 miles on a single charge, topping their entire EV leaderboard. Another long distance constant speed test saw a 2025 Escalade IQ cover more than 480 miles at about 70 mph on the highway, again beating the official 460 mile estimate.
Our goal at the dealership is to help you translate those lab and media numbers into something that makes sense for your daily life, whether you are commuting around Gulfport or planning a road trip through the Southeast.
2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ Range
For the newest model year, Cadillac has refined the Escalade IQ formula and slightly increased the official range rating.
2026 Escalade IQ Range Specs
For 2026, Cadillac estimates up to 465 miles of all electric range on a full charge, with dual motor all wheel drive standard across the lineup. That figure applies across trims because every 2026 Escalade IQ uses the same core Ultium battery pack and powertrain, with 750 horsepower available in Velocity Max mode.
Key range related highlights for 2026:
- Cadillac estimated range: up to 465 miles
- Battery capacity: about 205 kWh Ultium pack
- Dual motor all wheel drive across the board
- Estimated 0 to 60 mph in the mid 4 second range in Velocity Max mode
From our point of view, that 465 mile estimate makes the 2026 Escalade IQ one of the most flexible luxury SUVs you can buy today. It comfortably covers a full day of Gulf Coast driving with plenty of range in reserve.
2026 Charging And How It Supports Range
The 2026 Escalade IQ pairs its range with very fast charging capability:
- Up to 117 miles of range in about 10 minutes on a compatible 350 kW public DC fast charger
- Up to 36 miles of range per hour on a 19.2 kW Level 2 charger
- Up to 22 miles of range per hour on an 11.5 kW Level 2 charger
- A dual level home charging cord that can use a standard 3 prong outlet for low speed charging or a 4 prong outlet for up to 15 miles of range per hour
All of these figures are Cadillac estimates. In practice, this means you can stop for a quick coffee on a road trip and gain well over 100 miles of usable range before you are ready to get back on the highway.
When we talk with customers in our showroom, we usually position the 2026 Escalade IQ as the choice for drivers who want the longest possible estimated range plus the latest tech package.
2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Range
The 2025 Escalade IQ introduced this all electric version of Cadillac’s flagship SUV, and it set the tone by debuting with a very strong range figure that still holds up today.
2025 Escalade IQ Range Specs
For 2025, Cadillac estimates up to 460 miles of all electric range. Every trim level Luxury 1, Luxury 2, Sport 1, and Sport 2 lists the same 460 mile Cadillac estimated range as a key feature, which tells you that the main differences between trims are equipment and luxury features rather than big changes to the powertrain.
Like the 2026 model, the 2025 Escalade IQ uses a large Ultium battery pack and dual motor all wheel drive, with 750 horsepower available in Velocity Max mode.
From a practical standpoint, that 460 mile estimate already put the 2025 Escalade IQ at the top of the luxury EV SUV range leaderboard. Independent testing has confirmed how strong that is:
- Edmunds recorded 558 miles in their standardized EV Range Test at mixed speeds.
- InsideEVs documented 482.2 miles at a steady 70 mph, with a little range still left in the battery.
That level of range is more than enough for trips from Gulfport to New Orleans and back, or Gulfport to Montgomery, without needing to stop for a charge in typical weather, as long as you start near a full battery.
2025 Charging And Range Support
The 2025 Escalade IQ features similar fast charging and Level 2 capability to the 2026 model:
- Up to 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes on a 350 kW DC fast charger
- Up to 22 miles of range per hour on an 11.5 kW Level 2 charger
- Up to about 36.5 miles of range per hour with the available 19.2 kW onboard charger
All figures are Cadillac estimates.
For our customers, the takeaway is simple: regardless of whether you choose a 2025 or 2026 Escalade IQ, you are getting a vehicle designed to cover serious distances and recharge quickly when you do need to plug in.
2025 vs 2026 Escalade IQ Range: What Really Changed
From a range perspective, the jump from 2025 to 2026 is more evolution than revolution:
- Estimated range increases from 460 miles in 2025 to 465 miles in 2026
- Battery capacity and core powertrain architecture remain essentially the same
- Both years use dual motor all wheel drive and Cadillac’s Ultium platform
That small bump in the official estimate reflects ongoing optimization of software, thermal management, and efficiency rather than a completely new hardware setup.
When we help shoppers compare model years on our lot or in our incoming inventory, we frame the difference like this:
- If maximum official range and the most current tech spec are top priorities, 2026 has a slight edge.
- If you find a 2025 Escalade IQ in the trim and color you want, you can be confident you are still getting exceptional real world range based on early testing.
In both cases, we recommend planning around a real world range target that is a bit lower than the maximum figure to account for climate, driving style, and cargo, then letting the extra capability be your safety cushion.
How Escalade IQ Range Plays Out In Real Life
On paper, 460 to 465 miles of estimated range is impressive. What matters more is how it behaves for the kinds of trips our customers actually drive. Here is how we coach buyers to think about it:
- Daily commuting and errands
Most owners will rarely dip below 40 to 50 percent battery during a typical weekday. An overnight Level 2 charge at home will usually bring you back near full by morning. - Weekend getaways
For trips to places like New Orleans, Mobile, or the Florida Panhandle, you can often make the outbound leg on a single charge. A short DC fast charge stop during lunch can top you up for the return leg or give you freedom to drive more once you arrive. - Towing and heavy loads
Like any EV, towing or carrying heavy cargo will reduce effective range. The advantage of the Escalade IQ is that you are starting from a very high baseline, so even a significant reduction still leaves you with usable distance between charges. - Hot and humid Gulf Coast weather
Air conditioning use will affect range, but the large pack size means you have headroom. Preconditioning the cabin while plugged in is an easy way to protect range while staying comfortable.
Our team spends time up front asking about your driving habits so we can show you real routes on a map and overlay charger locations. That way the range numbers are not just abstract; they become part of a plan that fits your life.
Every Escalade IQ Model Year So Far
To summarize the Escalade IQ range story by model year:
- 2026 Escalade IQ
- Cadillac estimated range: up to 465 miles
- Dual motor all wheel drive, Ultium battery around 205 kWh
- Very fast DC charging with up to 117 miles in about 10 minutes on a 350 kW charger
- 2025 Escalade IQ
- Cadillac estimated range: up to 460 miles
- Same Ultium foundation and dual motor layout
- DC fast charging up to about 100 miles in 10 minutes on a 350 kW charger
- Independent tests have recorded between about 480 and 558 miles on a single charge in controlled conditions
There are currently no Escalade IQ model years before 2025, and future model years beyond 2026 have not yet published official range figures.

2025 Christmas Light Displays in Gulfport, MS
As the holiday season approaches, Gulfport, Mississippi transforms into a festive winter wonderland. With glittering lights, holiday music, and family‑friendly events, 2025 promises to be one of the brightest yet. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, there are several must-see displays and experiences. Here’s your guide to the best Christmas light events in Gulfport this year — perfect for a holiday outing with friends or family.
Gulfport Harbor Lights Winter Festival
The marquee holiday event in Gulfport is the Gulfport Harbor Lights Winter Festival. Held at Jones Park, this event spans 40 acres and features more than 1.5 million lights.
Visitors can stroll or ride through glowing tunnels and light‑sculpture displays, enjoy the “Dancing Trees” choreographed light show, hop on the free trolley, or take a train ride at the on‑site Train Station.
Kids and adults alike will love the holiday touches: from Santa’s Village — complete with elves, Santa’s headquarters, and a chance to meet Santa — to carnival rides and warming stations ideal for sipping hot cocoa.
The 2025 festival runs from November 28 through December 23. Tickets go on sale November 1. General admission is $15–$20, children 4–12 years are $5, and kids under 4 are free.
Holiday Lights at TrainTastic
A newer but growing tradition, TrainTastic Holiday Lights at Mississippi Gulf Coast Model Railroad Museum has become a festive favorite. The museum’s grounds transform into a luminous winter scene, with over a million lights, outdoor train rides, and illuminated displays.
The experience features outdoor train rides through tunnels of lights, seasonal music, indoor exhibits, arts and crafts for kids, and even s’mores and hot chocolate by fire pits.
Santa visits and holiday‑themed activities add to the charm — making it a cozy, fun option for families seeking indoor‑outdoor festive fun.
This 2025 holiday event typically runs from early December through Christmas. Check their site for exact dates and hours.
Combined Holiday Fun with Aquarium Lights
For a different kind of evening, you can also pair lights with marine life by visiting Mississippi Aquarium during its holiday offering A Magical Mississippi Christmas. The aquarium, located on the coast, hosts a festive evening event featuring holiday lights, projection shows, themed exhibits, and even diving elves.
From November 28 through December 23, starting around 4:30 PM, guests can enjoy the aquatic exhibits under holiday lights and festive ambiance, with discounted admission for children and families.
This can be a nice complement to a visit to Harbor Lights, especially since some combo tickets are available that allow access to both attractions — letting you enjoy lights on land and sea in one holiday outing.
Planning Tips for a Merry Visit
- Buy tickets early for the Harbor Lights Winter Festival once they go on sale (November 1) — it’s a popular attraction and can sell out on peak nights.
- For a relaxed evening, consider visiting TrainTastic, especially if you prefer something more low-key but still festive.
- Combine a light show with a visit to Mississippi Aquarium for a unique coastal holiday experience.
- Dress in comfortable layers — even Gulfport coastal nights can get breezy in December — and bring a camera for plenty of photo‑worthy moments.
- Check event websites or social media for updates or schedule changes before heading out.
Conclusion
Gulfport is truly glowing this holiday season. From the grand spectacle of the Harbor Lights Winter Festival to the cozy charm of TrainTastic and the aquatic holiday magic at the Mississippi Aquarium, there are holiday light displays and festive events to delight every kind of visitor in 2025.

Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity | All Model Years
At Turan Foley Cadillac, we help Gulf Coast drivers use their Escalade for what it was built to do: haul boats to the marina, campers to your favorite state park, and enclosed trailers loaded with gear. Below, we walk through Cadillac Escalade towing capacity by model year, starting with the newest gasoline and electric models and working all the way back to the first generation.
Towing ratings vary by drivetrain, wheelbase, engine, and equipment. The numbers below are maximums for properly equipped models based on manufacturer specs and reputable testing sources. When you visit us, we can look up the exact rating for your VIN and trailer setup.
2026 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
For the 2026 model year, the gasoline Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV remain the towing leaders in the lineup.
- 2026 Escalade 2WD: Up to 8,100 pounds max towing when properly equipped with the 6.2 liter V8 and trailering equipment
- 2026 Escalade ESV 2WD: Up to 8,000 pounds max towing with the same 6.2 liter V8
- 2026 Escalade 4WD and ESV 4WD: Slightly lower ratings due to additional drivetrain weight
- 2026 Escalade V: Up to about 7,200 pounds for the short wheelbase model and about 7,000 pounds for V ESV variants
Gasoline 2026 Escalade and Escalade ESV models use a 420 horsepower 6.2 liter V8 with 460 pound feet of torque and a 10 speed automatic, which provides strong low end pull for trailers while still keeping the ride quiet and refined.
If you are shopping a 2026 model at Turan Foley Cadillac, most customers who want maximum towing capacity choose a 2WD Escalade with the trailering package. We will walk you through hitch class, brake controller options, and weight distribution so you can safely get close to that 8,100 pound rating when needed.
2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ And IQL Towing Capacity
The 2026 Escalade IQ and long wheelbase Escalade IQL are all electric and still built to tow.
- 2026 Escalade IQ: Up to 8,000 pounds maximum towing, depending on configuration and trailering equipment
- 2026 Escalade IQL: Up to about 7,500 pounds maximum towing thanks to the longer wheelbase and additional weight
These EV models use dual electric motors, a large Ultium battery pack, and sophisticated trailering software. From our perspective as a Cadillac dealer, the key differences compared to gas models are:
- Excellent instant torque for getting a trailer moving
- Significantly reduced driving range while towing
- Very smooth, quiet towing experience
If you are considering using an Escalade IQ or IQL as a tow vehicle, we will help you plan realistic range expectations and charging stops around Gulfport and along your travel routes.
2025 Cadillac Escalade And Escalade IQ Towing Capacity
For 2025, Cadillac offers both traditional gasoline Escalade models and the first Escalade IQ EV.
Gasoline 2025 Escalade and Escalade ESV:
- Escalade 2WD: Up to 8,100 pounds max towing with the 6.2 liter V8 and trailering equipment
- Escalade ESV 2WD: Up to 8,000 pounds max towing
- Escalade V: Around 7,200 pounds maximum towing thanks to the high output supercharged V8 and AWD tuning
2025 Escalade IQ:
- Escalade IQ: Up to 8,000 pounds max towing when properly equipped with the Smart Towing package
If you are comparing 2025 Escalade and Escalade IQ side by side, both can pull a serious trailer. The gas model has easier refueling on long trips with a trailer, while the IQ trades some convenience for zero tailpipe emissions and a very quiet towing experience.
2024 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
For 2024 models, Cadillac continues the current generation that launched for the 2021 model year. Towing ratings are very similar to 2023 and 2022.
- 2024 Escalade 2WD: Up to about 8,100 to 8,200 pounds max towing depending on configuration
- 2024 Escalade ESV 2WD: Up to around 8,000 pounds max towing
- 3.0 liter Duramax diesel models: Typically 7,700 to 7,800 pounds, though some configurations approach 8,000 pounds
Many buyers gravitate toward the 6.2 liter gasoline V8 for a blend of performance and towing confidence, while the Duramax diesel is ideal for customers who tow frequently and want efficient low RPM torque. When you bring us a 2024 VIN, we can pull the build sheet and give you an exact rating for your vehicle.
2023 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
For 2023 Escalade and Escalade ESV models, towing capacity again tops out above 8,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Typical maximum ratings for 2023 gas models:
- 2023 Escalade 2WD: Up to 8,200 pounds max towing
- 2023 Escalade ESV 2WD: Up to 8,000 pounds max towing
Diesel and 4WD versions sit a little lower due to drivetrain and engine differences but still live in the approximately 7,700 to 8,000 pound range.
At Turan Foley Cadillac, we usually tell 2023 customers that if their loaded trailer weight is under about 7,000 pounds and they have the right hitch and brake setup, they are well inside what the truck is designed to handle. Above that, we start looking very carefully at tongue weight, payload, and axle ratings.
2022 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
The 2022 Cadillac Escalade introduced the now familiar mix of 6.2 liter V8 and available 3.0 liter Duramax diesel. Max ratings vary by engine, drivetrain, and whether you own the standard wheelbase or ESV.
For 2022 Escalade (standard wheelbase):
- 6.2 liter V8 2WD: Up to 8,200 pounds
- 6.2 liter V8 4WD: Up to 8,000 pounds
- 3.0 liter Duramax 2WD: Up to 8,000 pounds
- 3.0 liter Duramax 4WD: Up to 7,800 pounds
For 2022 Escalade ESV:
- 6.2 liter V8 2WD: Up to 8,100 pounds
- 6.2 liter V8 4WD: Up to 7,900 pounds
- 3.0 liter Duramax 2WD: Up to 7,900 pounds
- 3.0 liter Duramax 4WD: Up to 7,700 pounds
If you drive a 2022 Escalade or ESV, we can decode your engine and axle combination and confirm your specific limit before you hook up that boat or enclosed trailer.
2021 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
The 2021 model year launched the current generation Escalade and ESV and set the pattern for 2022 through 2024.
For 2021 Escalade (standard wheelbase), maximum ratings include:
- 6.2 liter V8 2WD: 8,200 pounds
- 6.2 liter V8 4WD: 8,000 pounds
- 3.0 liter Duramax 2WD: 8,000 pounds
- 3.0 liter Duramax 4WD: 7,800 pounds
For 2021 Escalade ESV:
- 6.2 liter V8 2WD: 8,100 pounds
- 6.2 liter V8 4WD: 7,900 pounds
- 3.0 liter Duramax 2WD: 7,900 pounds
- 3.0 liter Duramax 4WD: 7,700 pounds
These figures mean that 2021, 2022, 2023, and many 2024 models share similar capability. From our perspective as a dealership, the real decision for these years is which engine and drivetrain fit your towing habits, not whether the truck can tow at all.
2020 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
The 2020 Escalade and Escalade ESV represent the final year of the previous generation before the 2021 redesign.
- 2020 Escalade 2WD: Up to 8,300 pounds max towing when properly equipped
- 2020 Escalade 4WD: Typically up to 8,100 pounds
- 2020 Escalade ESV: Usually sits around 8,100 pounds for lighter trims and just under that for heavier builds
All 2020 Escalade models use a 6.2 liter V8 paired with a 10 speed automatic, and the available trailering package is what allows them to hit those 8,300 pound figures. If you are bringing a 2020 model in for service at Turan Foley Cadillac, we will confirm whether your truck has the heavy duty cooling and hitch hardware that were part of that package.
2015–2019 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
The 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 Escalade and Escalade ESV share the same generation and broadly similar towing specs. These years use a 6.2 liter V8 and are typically rated between 7,900 and 8,300 pounds when properly equipped.
Typical max ratings for these model years:
- Escalade 2WD: Often up to 8,300 pounds
- Escalade 4WD: Generally around 8,100 pounds
- Escalade ESV: Usually between about 7,900 and 8,100 pounds depending on configuration
If you own a 2015 through 2019 Escalade, we will treat your truck similarly to a 2020 model when we discuss towing. That means looking for the integrated trailer brake controller, hitch rating, and axle ratio to make sure your trailer is a good match.
2007–2014 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
The third generation Escalade covers the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 model years. These SUVs use a 6.2 liter V8 making about 403 horsepower and 417 pound feet of torque, and they were built with towing in mind.
Typical maximum ratings across these years:
- 2007–2014 Escalade RWD or 2WD: Often rated up to 8,300 pounds with a weight distributing hitch
- 2007–2014 Escalade AWD or 4WD: Typically around 8,100 pounds
- 2007–2014 Escalade ESV: Usually around 7,400 to 7,800 pounds depending on trim and drivetrain
We see many Gulf Coast customers still using these trucks to tow campers and boats. As these Escalades age, we pay special attention to cooling system condition, transmission service history, and suspension components whenever a customer plans to tow near the top of the rating.
2002–2006 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
The second generation Escalade launched for 2002 and ran through the 2006 model year, including the Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT pickup. These are the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 Escalade family.
Representative towing ratings from this generation:
- 2002 Escalade (short wheelbase): Up to 8,200 pounds max towing when properly equipped.
- 2002 Escalade with the 5.3 liter V8 2WD: Around 7,700 pounds max trailering.
- 2003–2006 Escalade ESV: Typically around 7,400 to 7,800 pounds max towing.
- 2002–2006 Escalade EXT: Generally 7,300 to 7,900 pounds depending on year and configuration.
If you own a 2002–2006 Escalade, ESV, or EXT and want to tow regularly, our team can go over your vehicle’s equipment and help you decide on realistic limits that account for age, condition, and the type of trailer you use.
1999–2001 Cadillac Escalade Towing Capacity
The very first Escalade arrived for the 1999 model year and continued through 2000 and 2001 before the 2002 redesign. These early models are closely related to the GMC Yukon Denali of the same era and use a 5.7 liter V8 and older frame design.
Typical towing ratings:
- 1999 Escalade: Similar to 2000 models and typically in the mid 6,000 pound range when properly equipped.
- 2000 Escalade: Commonly listed at 6,600 pounds max towing with the 5.7 liter V8 and 4 speed automatic.
- 2001 Escalade: Transitional models with updated hardware often closer to 8,000 pounds when properly equipped, though published numbers vary by source
At Turan Foley Cadillac, we treat these early Escalades with extra caution for heavy towing. The mechanical systems are older, and while the trucks can still tow, we prefer to keep trailer weights comfortably below the original rating unless the vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and maintained.
How Turan Foley Cadillac Helps You Tow With Confidence
From 1999 through today, the Escalade family has always been a serious tow vehicle when properly equipped. Most late model Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade V, and Escalade IQ models will tow somewhere between about 7,000 and 8,200 pounds, with earlier generations sitting between roughly 6,000 and 8,300 pounds depending on year and configuration.
At Turan Foley Cadillac, our job is to make those numbers practical for your life along the Gulf Coast. When you visit us in person or contact our team, we can:
- Run your VIN to confirm the exact factory towing rating and axle ratio
- Inspect your hitch, brake controller, and suspension for safe operation
- Recommend whether a weight distributing hitch or upgraded trailer brakes make sense
- Help you choose a new Escalade or Escalade IQ that is correctly configured for the boat, camper, car hauler, or utility trailer you plan to tow
Whether you own a brand new 2026 Escalade or a well kept early model, we are here as your towing resource. If you have your trailer weight and your current Escalade’s year and trim handy, bring them to us and we will help you line up a combination that feels confident and safe on every trip.
Cadillac XT5 Oil Type | All Model Years
At Turan‑Foley Cadillac, we believe proper engine lubrication is a key aspect of maintaining your Cadillac’s performance, longevity and warranty coverage. In this guide, we present the recommended oil types for the Cadillac XT5 across all model years. Whether you’re driving the latest model or have been enjoying your XT5 for years, you’ll find the correct oil viscosity, specification and helpful notes to ensure your engine receives the protection it deserves.
2024–Present Model Years
For the 2024 and 2025 Cadillac XT5, the recommended engine oil is full synthetic and the preferred viscosity grade is SAE 0W‑20.
2022–2023 Model Years
For model years 2022 and 2023, the XT5 follows the same oil recommendation as the newer models: full synthetic oil meeting the dexos1 specification with a general viscosity of 0W‑20, with 5W‑30 accepted in some conditions.
2019–2021 Model Years
In the 2019 to 2021 model years the Cadillac XT5 shows a shift (or clarification) toward SAE 5W‑30 full synthetic oil for many engine variants. For instance, the 2019 owner’s manual indicates use of “SAE 5W‑30 viscosity grade” oil meeting dexos1 specification.
2017–2018 Model Years
For the first model years of the XT5 (2017 and 2018), the recommended oil depends on the engine. For example, a 2017 XT5 with the 3.6 L V6 engine is specified by AMSOIL as using 5W‑30 for all temperatures, 0W‑30 only for extremely cold conditions.
Conclusion
As your trusted Cadillac expert, Turan‑Foley Cadillac wants you to feel confident about maintaining your XT5. Although the engine lubrication recommendations vary slightly across model years, the consistent theme is: use a high‐quality full synthetic motor oil that meets GM’s dexos1 specification, and choose the viscosity grade recommended for your specific year and engine. For 2017–2018 models, that generally means 5W‑30; for 2019–2021 models, 5W‑30 is typical; and for 2022 and onward, 0W‑20 is the preferred grade (with 5W‑30 acceptable in specific situations). Always consult your owner’s manual or our service department at Turan‑Foley Cadillac if you have any questions about your XT5’s service needs.
Should you like to schedule service, change your oil, or discuss the best lubricant option for your driving conditions, our certified technicians are ready to assist. Trust our expertise to keep your Cadillac XT5 operating at its best.
Cadillac XT4 vs. Cadillac XT5
The Cadillac XT4 and XT5 offer two different takes on modern luxury SUVs. The XT4 is a fantastic option for those who live in Gulfport and on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and are in the market for a compact luxury SUV. It offers easy parking, effortless handling, and excellent efficiency in town.
The XT5 offers more space and a smoother, quieter ride, making it ideal for transporting families on relaxed coastal trips. Both vehicles have that signature Cadillac bold style and a suite of advanced tech features to help keep you and your passengers safe and entertained. Here’s an in-depth comparison of the Cadillac XT4 vs. Cadillac XT5 to help you choose the luxury SUV that fits your lifestyle and budget.
Quick Take: Who Each SUV Is For
Cadillac’s compact XT4 and midsize XT5 serve distinct lifestyles.
XT4
- It’s great for city driving and tight parking spaces.
- It provides an excellent entry into the luxury SUV segment at an affordable price range.
- The SUV works for single drivers or couples who desire luxury and modern tech without the extra bulk.
XT5
- It’s ideal for families or anyone who needs more rear-seat space and cargo room.
- The SUV is great for long distances and highway driving with a smooth ride.
- It’s perfect if you frequently transport luggage, sports equipment, or pets.
Size & Everyday Practicality
The XT4 is compact, feels light, and is easy to handle in busy areas. Parking in tight spots or navigating crowded streets is simple. The interior has enough room for daily needs, like a child seat or grocery bags, but the focus is on practicality rather than maximum space. It suits drivers who move through the city all day.
The XT5 offers more room and a more relaxed driving experience. It has a wider rear seat and a smoother ride, which makes long trips more comfortable.

Are Cadillacs Reliable?
A Cadillac’s reliability comes down to how often it needs repairing and how severe the problems are. Cadillacs are reliable, with slightly above average annual repair costs, yet a low frequency of repair shop visits. Learn more about how this luxury vehicle brand gets a good consumer rating, despite perceptions being subject to change over time.
What “Reliability” Means for Luxury Cars
The cost, frequency, and severity of unexpected repairs and maintenance determine how reliable a luxury car is. A dependable luxury vehicle delivers consistent performance and safety every time you drive it.
The durability of a luxury car depends on how long it lasts, which can vary based on how often it’s driven, driving habits, and environmental factors such as the coastal air in Gulfport. The overall quality of a luxury car reflects the craftsmanship of its mechanical and electronic parts and the materials used to build them. Meanwhile, its safety ratings depend on its safety features and structural integrity, and how they can protect occupants in the event of an accident.
Third-party organizations, such as J.D. Power, rate a vehicle’s reliability based on the following criteria:
- The rate of recalls issued by the manufacturer
- Level of defects, malfunctions, and design flaws experienced by vehicle owners
- Initial quality of the vehicle
- Data collected from long-term surveys
Luxury vehicles often include more tech, like complex driver-assistance systems or digital displays throughout the cabin. More technology can sometimes mean a higher chance of minor electronic issues.
How Cadillac Performs in Independent Studies
Cadillac received the following reliability ratings from the third-party organizations listed below:
- J.D. Power ranks Cadillac second in its 2025 vehicle dependability rankings.
- Consumer Reports lists Cadillac as 21st for new car reliability and 10th for used car reliability on their 2025 list.
- RepairPal gave Cadillac an average, 3 out of 5 score for their reliability ratings and costs report in 2024. They reported $783 annual repair cost, with a repair shop visit frequency of 0.4 times a year, and a 17% severity rating for repairs.
Cadillac’s score continues to improve every year, with specific tech features drawing mixed feedback from rating companies. Cadillac vehicle rankings vary by model, model year, and the methodology of analyzing a final reliability score.
Cadillac Warranty Coverage and What It Means for Reliability
Cadillac offers warranties to help maintain your vehicle’s reliability by covering repairs from material or workmanship defects. The following warranties provide peace of mind and increase your Cadillac’s dependability.
New Car Warranty
This Cadillac warranty covers the entire vehicle for repairs to correct material or workmanship defects for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This coverage includes parts, labor, and towing to the nearest authorized dealership on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for warranty-related repairs. Note that normal wear and tear is not considered a defect.
Powertrain Warranty
This limited warranty is for the systems and components of your Cadillac’s powertrain, including the engine, transmission, and drive systems. The warranty covers repairs, parts, and labor due to defects in materials or workmanship for the duration of the warranty.
EV Protection Plans
Cadillac offers exclusive warranty coverage on new, pre-owned, or leased electric vehicles. You can choose your deductible type and protection plan level, such as the Platinum level, which provides coverage on up to 1,500 parts for up to 96 months or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. These protection plans are endorsed by Cadillac and backed by General Motors, helping to maintain your premium vehicle’s reliability. This coverage also includes 24-hour roadside assistance and access to GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco replacement parts.
Your Cadillac EV may be eligible for a battery or drive unit warranty through typical industry coverages. However, battery degradation may occur from frequent charging or exposure to extreme temperatures. Confirm your EV’s protection details with our Turan-Foley team to understand how to prevent issues that could void your warranty.
Additional Warranties
Discuss extended coverage options when you purchase a new or certified pre-owned Cadillac at Turan-Foley Cadillac. We’ll review your warranty benefits to help extend your Cadillac’s lifespan and maintain its integrity.
Real-World Reliability: Gulf Coast Driving Conditions
Cadillacs are made with the highest quality materials to ensure their durability, but owning a premium vehicle requires you to take some extra steps to protect it. Living along the Mississippi Gulf Coast exposes your Cadillac to the salty sea air, which can cause rust or corrosion on your vehicle’s exterior.
The high heat and humidity in the summer can affect your Cadillac’s battery health, tire performance, and electronics. Your brakes may wear prematurely if you drive in lots of stop-and-go traffic on U.S. Route 90 or Interstate 10.
How to Protect Your Cadillac
These practical tips can help you prevent costly repairs and help keep your Cadillac reliable for life in Gulfport:
- Keep your Cadillac covered: Park in a garage to protect your car from harsh weather. If a garage is not available, park under a carport or use a high-quality car cover.
- Wash your Cadillac regularly: Prevent rust-causing salt from the coastal air buildup with regular washes that keep your vehicle’s exterior pristine.
- Replace your cabin filter: Get this replaced at least once a year to maintain a contaminant-free interior.
- Check your Cadillac’s battery: Get a battery inspection at Turan-Foley Cadillac before the summer to monitor its health. We’ll replace it with genuine parts to help maintain your car’s reliability when it’s hot out.
- Charge your EV to 80%: Promote your Cadillac EV’s battery health by only charging up to 80% as it slows beyond that percentage.

2026 Cadillac XT5 vs. 2026 Buick Envision
Shopping for a new compact luxury SUV on the Mississippi Gulf Coast can be a tough choice with many great options. Two of the top contenders are the 2026 Cadillac XT5 and the 2026 Buick Envision. Both of these stylish and tech-forward SUVs come from the General Motors family. Yet, they offer very different experiences.
This 2026 Cadillac XT5 vs. 2026 Buick Envision comparison will break down the key differences in tech, comfort, performance, and value. We want to help you decide which one is the perfect fit for your lifestyle and invite you to see the stunning XT5 at Turan-Foley Cadillac in Gulfport.
Quick Specs Snapshot
Here is a quick look at what these two SUVs offer to give you a fast way to compare them side by side.
| Feature | 2026 Cadillac XT5 Specs (Projected) | 2026 Buick Envision Specs (Projected) |
| Screens/Infotainment | 8.0-inch touchscreen standard; next-gen updates anticipated (TBC) | Standard 30-inch diagonal panoramic display |
| Engine | Standard 2.0-liter Turbo I4 (235 horsepower, 258 lb-ft) or available 3.6-liter V-6 (310 horsepower, 271 lb-ft) (TBC) | Standard 2.0-liter Turbo I4 (228 horsepower, 258 lb-ft) (TBC) |

| Drive | FWD or AWD | AWD only |
2026 figures will be verified and updated as soon as order guides are released.
Tech and Infotainment
Let’s be honest: the technology in your car is a big deal nowadays. Fortunately, Cadillac and Buick have developed systems that are both powerful and easy to use.
Displays and Connectivity
The first thing you’ll notice in the Buick Envision is that huge, 30-inch panoramic screen. It’s a total showstopper, blending your gauges and infotainment into one slick display. The Cadillac XT5, in its current version, has a super-responsive 8-inch touchscreen. But hang on, because a big redesign is expected for 2026. Word on the street is that it will feature a massive, curved display, much like the gorgeous screen in the Cadillac LYRIQ, which will totally change the game.
Driver Assistance and Safety
You can relax knowing that both the XT5 and Envision are built with safety as a top priority. You can expect standard features like forward collision alert and lane keep assist to carry over, which are lifesavers when you’re dealing with traffic on I-10 or heading over the Causeway to Ocean Springs. While the full 2026 feature list is still under wraps, Cadillac usually offers more advanced upgrades like adaptive cruise control, a feature that makes those long drives so much less tiring.
Performance and Ride Feel
What are they like to drive? This is where you will feel the biggest difference. The Cadillac XT5 is built for people who love to drive. It feels athletic and connected to the road, making every trip more fun. Plus, you get a choice: a zippy 235-horsepower turbo engine or a powerful 310-horsepower V-6 for that extra get-up-and-go. The Buick Envision, on the other hand, is all about a quiet, smooth, and relaxing ride with its 228-horsepower engine. The only way to know for sure is to drive them back-to-back on Highway 90 and feel it for yourself.
Space, Comfort, and Practicality
If you need to haul your gear, the XT5 is the clear winner with 30.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats. That extra room is huge when you’re packing coolers and beach chairs, which would be a tight squeeze in the Envision’s 25.2 cubic feet. The XT5’s cabin feels like a modern cockpit, with high-end materials like real wood or carbon fiber. The Envision’s interior is more like a peaceful, quiet escape from the world outside. Both have plenty of legroom in the back, so your passengers will be happy either way.
Ownership Value and Trims
So, what’s the deal with value? Think of it this way: Cadillac is a full-on luxury brand. You can see it and feel it in the XT5’s top-notch materials, powerful engine options, and all the little details. Buick gives you a premium experience at a great value, loading up trims like the Avenir with awesome features and style. We’re still waiting on official 2026 pricing, but you can expect excellent warranty coverage from both. It really comes down to whether you want the top-tier luxury experience or the amazing value of a premium ride.
Which One Fits You?
You’re probably an XT5 person if you want engine choices, especially that potent V-6. You need all the cargo space you can get for your busy life, and you’ll really appreciate the quality and prestige that comes with the Cadillac name. You might lean toward the Envision if your top priorities are a super-quiet ride and the wow factor of that giant screen. If you’re looking for a comfortable, stylish SUV that gives you a ton of features, the Buick is a fantastic choice.
Local Shopping in the Mississippi Gulf Coast
If you live in Gulfport, Biloxi, or Ocean Springs, come to Turan-Foley Cadillac for an XT5 test drive. Ask us anything, and our helpful staff will be happy to answer to help you pick out the best XT5 for your needs. We also offer competitive financing options and a state-of-the-art service center to keep your new Cadillac running smoothly for years to come.
FAQs
Here are a few common questions from other shoppers just like you who are debating between these two wonderful vehicles.
Which SUV Has More Power?
The 2026 Cadillac XT5 brings more muscle with its 235-horsepower standard engine and an optional 310-horsepower V-6, while the Envision offers a single 228-horsepower engine (all figures TBC).
Which One Has a Bigger Screen?
Right now, the Buick Envision has the bigger standard screen at 30 inches, but we’re expecting the redesigned 2026 XT5 to get a major and impressive screen upgrade (TBC).
Is the XT5 Bigger Than the Envision?
Yes, for hauling gear, the Cadillac XT5 provides more room. It offers 30.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, compared to 25.2 in the Envision.
Experience the XT5 Difference
The 2026 Buick Envision is a great SUV with a quiet ride and an impressive screen, but the 2026 Cadillac XT5 simply offers more: more power, more space, and that true luxury feel you can only get from a Cadillac. The best way to decide which one is right for you is to experience the XT5 in person. What are you waiting for?

2026 Cadillac LYRIQ vs 2026 Tesla Model Y
If you’re in Gulfport or Biloxi and thinking about getting an electric luxury SUV, you’ve probably looked at the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ and the 2026 Tesla Model Y. Both bring strong range, advanced tech, and top-notch features, but they appeal to different types of drivers. Below, we’ll go through the key differences in range, charging, performance, tech, safety, space, and their long-term value so you can make a confident choice.
Quick Specs at a Glance
| Specs | Cadillac Lyriq | Tesla Model Y |
| Drivetrain options | RWD or AWD | RWD or AWD |
| Horsepower and torque | 365 hp and 325 lb-ft torque (RWD version) | 397 hp and 389 lb-ft torque (Long Range AWD) |
| EPA-estimated range | Up to 326 miles (RWD); 319 miles (AWD) | 357 miles (AWD) |
| DC fast charging (Peak) | Up to 190 kW | Up to 250 kW |
| Home charging (AC) | 11.5 kW standard, 19.2 kW available | 11.5 kW |
| Towing capacity | Up to 3,500 lbs | Up to 3,500 lbs |
Cadillac LYRIQ Range vs Tesla Model Y Range
Range is usually the first question buyers ask about an EV. The 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ offers up to 326 miles on a full charge with rear-wheel drive, while the all-wheel drive version goes up to 319 miles. In comparison, the Tesla Long Range AWD, with its additional motor upfront, delivers 357 miles with right-wheel drive. Real-world range can vary depending on your wheel size, highway speed, and even the Gulf Coast summer heat, which can influence battery performance.
Charging Capabilities
On charging, the LYRIQ supports up to 190 kW with DC fast charging. For at-home setups, it comes standard with an 11.5 kW onboard charger and offers an upgrade to 19.2 kW for faster overnight charging. Model Y can charge at up to 250 kW with DC charging, adding 200 miles in just 15 minutes. The Tesla Model Y uses the NACS connector and has direct access to Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network.
LYRIQ vs Model Y: Performance and Driving Feel
The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq comes in two setups. The single-motor RWD makes 365 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, which means smooth passing power and confident highway driving without feeling overworked. If you go with the dual-motor AWD, you’ll get a serious power boost to 515 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, which is perfect for quick acceleration, towing, or extra stability during those sudden afternoon downpours.
The Long Range AWD gives you 397 horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque, striking a balance between quick acceleration and efficient everyday use. If you want something with more power, the Performance trim produces 460 horsepower, which makes it feel like a sports car.
Interior, Tech, and Infotainment
Inside the LYRIQ, you get a 33-inch display that puts all your driving information and entertainment in front of you. With Google built in and voice control, it’s easy to get directions or play music without fumbling with your phone. And if you go with the available AKG 23-speaker audio system, every drive feels like a private concert.
In Model Y, you use the 15.4-inch infotainment screen for all your controls, with rear-seat riders not left behind, as they are equipped with an 8.0-inch display at the back of the center console to keep them entertained. You get heated front seats to keep you warm in winter, and a dual-zone automatic climate control lets driver and passenger set their own temperatures for a comfortable ride during the humid Mississippi summers.
Driver Assistance and Safety
The LYRIQ offers Super Cruise, Cadillac’s advanced hands-free system that works on thousands of miles of compatible divided highways. It is hands-free but still requires you to keep your eyes on the road. This feature is especially helpful on longer drives along I-10 or when traveling between Gulfport and New Orleans.
Tesla includes Autopilot on every Model Y, with the option to upgrade to Full Self-Driving. These features assist with steering, braking, and lane changes, but there are questions about their reliability in real-world conditions.
Regarding safety, the 2026 model’s ratings are not yet known. Both models got a 5-star rating from NHTSA for the 2025 model year. The IIHS gave the 2025 Tesla Model Y a Top Safety Pick+ rating. In comparison, the 2025 Cadillac LYRIQ demonstrated strong results in crash tests, although its headlights received a lower rating.
Space, Cargo, and Towing
If you’re looking at space for family gear or weekend getaways, the Tesla Model Y has about 71.4–75.5 cu ft of cargo space, depending on how you measure it. The Cadillac LYRIQ offers 28.0 cu ft behind the rear seats and up to 60.8 cu ft when they’re folded.
You get better passenger space in the front row in the Cadillac with 44.3 inches of legroom as compared to 41.9 inches in the Tesla Y, though the rear passengers in the Tesla Y may feel more comfortable on long journeys with slightly more legroom, with 40.5 inches as compared to 39.6 inches in the Cadillac. Both models support towing up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, enough for a small camper or boat for trips to the Mississippi coast.
Long-Term Value for Gulf Coast Drivers
Both vehicles deliver actual value by offering excellent coverage. Cadillac covers the LYRIQ with a 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty, and an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty.
Tesla offers a similar 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty. The Model Y’s battery and drive unit coverage extends to 8 years or 120,000 miles with at least 70 percent capacity retention.

Cadillac XT6 Oil Type | All Model Years
The Cadillac XT6 uses full-synthetic engine oil that meets GM’s dexos1 specification. Viscosity depends on which engine your XT6 has: the 2.0L turbo four-cylinder and the 3.6L V6 call for different weights, and those recommendations have stayed consistent since the engines were introduced. Below, we list oil types by model year (most recent first) and group years where the requirements are identical, based on GM owner’s manuals and technical publications.
Current–2022 Cadillac XT6 Oil Type
- 2.0L Turbo (LSY): SAE 0W-20 full-synthetic, GM dexos1; ~5.3 qt with filter.
- 3.6L V6 (LGX): SAE 5W-30 full-synthetic, GM dexos1; ~6.0 qt with filter.
These specs are consistent across these years, and the extreme-cold 0W-30 provision still applies. GM’s technical oil-capacity tables for 2022–2023 confirm the same engine/viscosity pairings.
2021 Cadillac XT6 Oil Type (Introduction of the 2.0L)
2021 is the first year the XT6 offered both engines, and the oil guidance matches later years:
- 2.0L Turbo (LSY): SAE 0W-20 full-synthetic, GM dexos1; ~5.3 qt with filter.
- 3.6L V6 (LGX): SAE 5W-30 full-synthetic, GM dexos1; ~6.0 qt with filter.
GM also allows SAE 0W-30 for extreme cold starts below −29 °C (−20 °F).
2020 Cadillac XT6 Oil Type (3.6L Only)
At launch, the XT6 used only the 3.6L V6. The owner’s manual specifies:
- 3.6L V6 (LGX): SAE 5W-30 full-synthetic, GM dexos1; ~6.0 qt with filter. In extreme cold (below −29 °C / −20 °F), SAE 0W-30 may be used.
What “dexos1” Means (and why we use it)
GM’s dexos1 certification is an oil performance standard designed for gasoline engines. Using a dexos1-approved full-synthetic oil protects against LSPI, oxidation, and deposits while meeting GM warranty requirements. We stock ACDelco dexos1 Gen 3 oils—the same spec GM lists for current vehicles—so your XT6 gets exactly what it was engineered to use.
Service Guidance from Turan-Foley Cadillac
Our technicians see both XT6 engines daily and follow the same sources GM uses (owner’s manuals and GM TechLink). We’ll confirm your engine code, temperature conditions, and oil-life monitor before selecting oil. That attention to detail ensures you get the correct dexos1 full-synthetic and the right fill every time—no guesswork, no generic “one-size” recommendations.
Conclusion
For Cadillac XT6 models, the rule of thumb is simple: use dexos1-approved full-synthetic. Choose SAE 0W-20 for the 2.0L turbo and SAE 5W-30 for the 3.6L V6, with 0W-30 permitted in extreme cold. Those recommendations are unchanged across 2021–2025, while 2020 applies the 3.6L guidance only. When you’re ready for service, the Turan-Foley Cadillac team in Gulfport will verify your engine, confirm capacities, and install GM-approved oil to spec. Schedule your oil change and let our Cadillac-certified staff keep your XT6 running like new.
