Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac XT4 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mazda CX-50, with comparable head- and legroom. The Mazda CX-50 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 Mazda CX-50, 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). The Cadillac XT4 is somewhat more expensive than the Mazda CX-50.

Dimensions
The Cadillac XT4 is a little wider than the Mazda CX-50, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Cadillac XT4 is slightly shorter than the Mazda CX-50, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Cadillac XT4 has a larger turning radius than the Mazda CX-50, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Cadillac XT4 is clearly the choice over the Mazda CX-50 for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT4 has a little more horsepower than the Mazda CX-50.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT4 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mazda CX-50.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT4 and the Mazda CX-50. The Cadillac XT4 has less cargo space than the Mazda CX-50, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
