2017 Cadillac XT5 Performance

The 2017 Cadillac XT5 is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that’s good for 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. That engine is married to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The base model SRX is only available in front-wheel drive, while the top-level Platinum trim comes solely equipped with all-wheel drive. The Luxury and Premium Luxury models offer the choice between those two systems. In addition, for those interested in a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen said the XT5 could be offered with a turbo-four in the future.

The all-wheel drive model yields fuel economy of 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.

2017 Cadillac XT5 Interior

The interior of 2017 Cadillac XT5 is roomier and more technological advanced–as far as the infotainment system goes–than its SRX predecessor. Rear passengers receive about 1.5 inches of additional legroom than can be found in the old SRX, and the CUE infotainment system has been updated to include a faster processor. It also features Apple CarPlay compatibility, with an Android Auto update coming later in the year. The base model features leatherette upholstery, but the upper-level models feature genuine leather and real wood trim that give the XT5 a true upscale feel. As for storage capabilities, the XT5 offers 30 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats; that number grows to 63 cubic feet when the back seats are folded flat.
