Cadillac XT4
Cadillac finally fills an important hole in its
lineup with the XT4 compact crossover for
2019. It’s appealingly executed, with a plush
and purposeful five-passenger interior. It
packs a lively turbocharged four-cylinder
engine and comes with a Driver Select Mode
function, which allows a driver to fine-tune
the XT4’s dynamics. An available Active
Sport Suspension adjusts in real time to
maximize ride and handling characteristics
over changing road conditions.

9-speed automatic transmission. Price: $35,790
Land Rover enters the ultra-SUV market
for 2019 with this limited- production (999
units) two-door Range Rover. Hand-built, it
drips of exclusivity and strikes a stunning
profile. Buyers can choose from scores of
paint hues, door-handle and tread-plate
engraving, semiprecious-metal badging
and myriad bespoke treatments. A slightly
lower ride height and other performance
improvements afford crisper handling while
maintaining an amenable around-town ride
and off-road dexterity.
Vital Specs: 5.0-liter 557 hp supercharged V8 engine,
8-speed automatic transmission. Price: $295,000
Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Rolls-Royce debuts its first-ever SUV for
2019, the Cullinan. It’s named after the
largest diamond ever discovered and is
appropriately formal-looking. It’s plenty posh
and plush inside, and can be dressed up with
an almost unending number of bespoke
touches. For those who choose to drive, the
Cullinan can be fitted with a rear split-fold
bench seat for added cargo stowage. Those
who prefer to be driven can specify rear
multifunction buckets and a console with
a mobile bar and refrigerator. The Cullinan
is also engineered to tackle off-road trails
without sacrificing the brand’s traditional
“magic-carpet ride.”
Vital Specs: 6.75-liter 563 hp twin-turbocharged V12 engine, 8-speed
automatic transmission. Price: $325,000
