2014 Cadillac SRX Crossover Exterior
An aggressive, lower stance and lines that seem as if they were chiseled out of marble create a strapping, brawny profile for the 2014 Cadillac SRX Crossover that lets it stand apart from the other crossovers in its class. Roof rails make sure whatever large items are needed for adventures can be strapped down easily, while the signature Cadillac vertical lights use Adaptive Forward technology to swivel the headlamps up to 15 degrees.
2014 Cadillac SRX Crossover Performance
Each 2014 Cadillac SRX Crossover is powered by a 3.6-liter V6, which churns out 308 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, and is capable of reaching 60 mph from a standstill in 7.0 seconds. The only transmission offered is a six-speed automatic, while front-wheel-drive is standard with an available all-wheel-drive on every trim with the exception of the Base. It can even tow up to 3,500 lbs for those looking to use it as a tow vehicle.
2014 Cadillac SRX Crossover Efficiency
The SRX Crossover has an EPA-estimated 19 mpg combined, a slightly below average fuel economy for the crossover class.
2014 Cadillac SRX Crossover Interior
A mixture of technology and luxury creates a high-end look and feel in the SRX’s interior, while innovative storage and an available rear-seat entertainment system makes it the perfect car for a family road trip. The UltraView sunroof spans from the front to the rear, bringing the outside into the cabin with a power sunshade that can also block the light and keep things cool on the inside. The CUE interface system, which includes an 8-inch touchscreen that provides the driver with control over audio, phone, and climate control, demonstrates the important part that technology plays for the Cadillac brand.
2014 Cadillac SRX Crossover Safety
Standard and optional safety features come together to create a safe environment within Cadillac’s crossover. Antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, and front side and side curtain airbags come with each SRX, along with the OnStar system and front and rear parking sensors. Certain options come with the various trims and packages, with a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts included in the Luxury trim level and the Driver Awareness package offering forward-collision alert, lane departure warning, and safety alert driver seat, which vibrates to warn the driver of potential hazards.
