Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus GX 550 than in the Cadillac XT6, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac XT6 and the Lexus GX 550.

Convenience
The Cadillac XT6 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Lexus GX 550, making it more convenient to drive.

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). Clearly, the Cadillac XT6 is a better financial choice over the Lexus GX 550, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac XT6 is a little narrower than the Lexus GX 550, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac XT6 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Lexus GX 550.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Lexus GX 550 is clearly the choice over the Cadillac XT6 for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT6 has a little less horsepower than the Lexus GX 550.

Powertrain
The Cadillac XT6 has much lower torque than the Lexus GX 550, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Cadillac XT6 offers greater seating capacity than the Lexus GX 550, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Cadillac XT6 has less cargo space than the Lexus GX 550, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
