Cadillac XT6

Where it stands out against its peers

• Back over prevention: more complaints than 94% of 2020 cars — 19% of its 36 complaints, where an ordinary 2020 car has 4%.

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.
