2022 Cadillac XT4

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 XT4.

Transmission Automatic (S9)

The 2022 Cadillac XT4 utilizes an automatic (S9) transmission and an engine requiring 5.3 quarts of 0W-20 oil, delivering EPA fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. Within the model’s 20192025 complaint history, this specific model year represents the lowest incidence of owner-reported issues at just two total complaints—centered on service brakes—alongside a single recall, a sharp contrast to the 28 complaints recorded for the 2024 model year. This positions the 2022 XT4 as the most statistically trouble-free iteration within that production span, offering researchers a baseline of minimal field issues for this platform.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Cadillac XT4 sits at the statistical low point of the generation's federal complaint arc, with just 2 complaints — down from 12 in 2021 and far below the 20 recorded for the 2019 launch year — accompanied by a single recall and zero investigations. This represents the bottom of a V-shaped trend, as complaints subsequently rebound to 12 in 2023 and spike to 28 in 2024 before settling at 8 for 2025, suggesting 2022 was either a brief manufacturing-quality peak or simply reflects lower production volume and reporting lag. Notably, TSBs declined steadily from 829 in 2019 to 630 in 2022, indicating the platform was maturing and dealers had accumulated substantial service knowledge by that point. Both of the 2022 complaints relate to Service Brakes, with no crash or fire complaints on record, and the data does not specify root causes for those brake concerns. On paper, 2022 is the cleanest model year in the XT4 generation by a wide margin, making it a compelling choice for used buyers — though the low complaint count may partly reflect the vehicle's age and limited time in the field, so a pre-purchase inspection focused on the brake system remains advisable.
