Cadillac XT4

Where it stands out against its peers

• Engine: more complaints than 91% of 2019 cars — 50% of its 20 complaints, where an ordinary 2019 car has 22%.

Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.

Crash test

Crash-tested by NHTSA, the American road safety agency.
