Cadillac has also reworked its infotainment system, and the interface is all-new in 2020. In those lower-level configurations, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is standard. New this year, Cadillac is offering a Sport trim and renaming the base model, calling it the Luxury trim. The midsize luxury SUV space continues to be popular among consumers, and the XT5 doesn’t disappoint. What the Cadillac XT5 has to offer in 2020įor anyone who appreciated the design and luxury features of the former Cadillac SRX models, the Cadillac XT5 will be a good fit. Officially coming on stage in 2015 at the Los Angeles Auto Show and available to the public in 2016, the 2017 Cadillac XT5 brought a fresh design and a new personality to the midsize luxury SUV segment. It’s possible Cadillac was preparing to introduce its next big vehicle – the Cadillac XT5. Although some critics suggest the automaker abandoned its once top-selling crossover, having not offered a redesign or major improvement to the model in its last six years of its production. The Cadillac SRX had a good run all the way through 2016. Cadillac also issued five recalls for this model year, citing potential issues with rear suspension, power steering, and some transmission shifting. Many of the problematic areas span from minor to significant and across many mechanical components of the vehicle. The 2010 Cadillac SRX has a history of over 1,400 TSBs on record. Technical service bulletins are announcements to consumers meant to be carried out at the dealership level to help troubleshoot and proactively fix specific problems. In addition to the consumer-reported problems, Cadillac recognized potential concerns with its 2010 SRX models. Recalls and technical service bulletins The 2010 Cadillac SRX | Jeffrey Sauger/General Motors via Getty Images Other reports shared timing chain failures costing $2,200 and headlights shorting, costing many upwards of $2,400. These replacements were taking place around 76,000 miles.

The problem was significant enough to require a complete headlight assembly replacement or resealing of the assembly, costing SRX owners an average of $1,600. The most commonly reported concern dealt with the headlights collecting water. Many of the reports spanned a variety of mechanical or cosmetic issues. Due to the sheer number of reports, along with costs of repairs and average mileage when problems occurred, 2010 is ranked as the worst year for the SRX of all. For consumers who owned 2010 Cadillac SRX crossovers, the list of complaints was long. You can also have a DVD player with screens for two mid-row passengers (£1100) and a sunroof that stretches the full length of the cabin (£1850).Congratulations to Ester on the pick up of her #CadillacSRX from our #Houston #CarVendingMachine! #TheNewWayToBuyACar /8djvKZIJWl- Carvana July 29, 2019Ĭ helps to peer into the ownership experiences for drivers of various vehicle models. There’s some trick kit on the SRX’s spec list, easily the best of which is the optional powered third row of seats, which takes the sweat out of folding away the occasional seats. Body control is okay, roll minimal and the adaptive dampers successfully smooth out rough surfaces, but the steering is over-assisted. Billed as a ‘crossover’ vehicle in the US, as opposed to a beefy 4x4, the SRX is a good drive thanks to the car-based platform, but it's no X5. The SRX scores here, with a ’box that chooses gears intelligently and swaps them smoothly. But the measure of a true luxury car is the match between engine and gearbox. It revs enthusiastically while emitting an encouraging burble. Turn the key and the 4.6-litre V8 erupts into life. Inside, the interior is similar to the CTS’s, which means acceptable materials and a high centre consoles, which work better with the SRX’s lofty seating position. The grille is suitably bold and the bodywork distinctive. The good stuff starts with the styling, which is the best example yet of Caddy’s creases ’n’ chrome, so-called ‘Art and Science’ ethos. What's surprising is that Caddy’s engineers have managed to conjure a moderately competitive 4x4 from the same rear-drive Sigma platform that underpins the CTS. An American alternative to a BMW X5, Merc ML or LR Discovery.
