General Characteristics of the XT4 vs XT5

The main difference between the XT4 and the XT5 lies in their dimensions. The XT4 falls into the category of luxury subcompact SUVs, while the XT5 is slightly larger, fitting into the luxury compact SUV category but nearing the mid-sized 5-seater SUVs in terms of dimensions. It is notably longer and slightly taller than its smaller counterpart.

Nonetheless, the XT5's larger dimensions and greater features (listed later in this article) translate into a higher selling price.
