2025 Cadillac XT5 vs 2025 BMW X6 in Metairie, LA
Compare the 2025 Cadillac XT5 vs the 2025 BMW X6
Luxury takes two forms in the 2025 Cadillac XT5 vs 2025 BMW X6 matchup. One leans into comfort and practicality, while the other focuses on sporty flair. This side-by-side comparison breaks down key features, performance, and tech to help you decide which luxury SUV is right for you.
Interior Comparison
The 2025 Cadillac XT5 has a high-end cabin made with soft leather, real wood, and brushed metal trim. There’s solid space in both rows: about 38 inches of headroom and over 41 inches of legroom up front. The second row isn’t cramped either, and the 60/40 split seats fold down to give you up to 63 cubic feet of cargo room. There’s underfloor storage and a hands-free liftgate for added convenience. Inside, it also comes with tri-zone climate control, ambient lighting, an air purifier, and a wide panoramic sunroof that lets in plenty of light.
The 2025 BMW X6 goes for a sportier vibe. The cabin looks sharp, but there’s less room in the back, especially for taller passengers. It doesn’t match the XT5 in cargo flexibility either. While the materials are still upscale, the focus is more on performance than all-around comfort. If you care more about space and convenience, the XT5 pulls ahead.

Power and Performance Comparison
The 2025 Cadillac XT5 gives you two engine options. The standard 2.0-liter turbo makes 235 horsepower and works with a nine-speed automatic that shifts smoothly. If you want more muscle, the available 3.6-liter V6 pushes out 310 horsepower and still keeps the ride steady. The XT5 handles different road conditions well with its drive modes and leans more toward comfort while still offering strong performance.
The 2025 BMW X6’s base turbocharged inline-6 makes about 335 horsepower, but the ride feels firmer, especially at lower speeds. The stronger towing power only kicks in on higher trims with bigger engines. The all-wheel drive and drive modes help with sharp handling, and its tires are more about performance than daily use. For a smoother, more laid-back drive, the XT5 has the edge.

Tech and Entertainment Comparison
The 2025 Cadillac XT5 uses an 8-inch touchscreen with the Cadillac User Experience (CUE) system. You can control it by touch, dial, or voice. The driver gets a dual-diagonal color display for clear info, and Amazon Alexa Built-in helps with simple tasks while driving. The available 14-speaker Bose Performance Series system brings crisp, full sound. There’s wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and phone charging, all designed to work without extra steps.
The 2025 BMW X6 uses a bigger 12.3-inch screen with iDrive. It looks advanced and may take longer to figure out. The digital dash and premium sound system are solid, but the complicated controls can feel a bit clunky, especially if you just want to focus on driving. If you want smart tech that’s easy to use, the XT5 offers a smoother setup.
