Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac XT4 than in the Lexus NX 250. The Lexus NX 250 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT4.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT4 as you will with the Lexus NX 250, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Cadillac XT4 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Lexus NX 250.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT4 is much wider than the Lexus NX 250, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac XT4 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Lexus NX 250.

Handling
The Cadillac XT4 has the same turning radius as the Lexus NX 250, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Cadillac XT4 is clearly the choice over the Lexus NX 250 for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT4 has a little more horsepower than the Lexus NX 250.

Powertrain
