What’s New for the 2018 Cadillac XT5?

The 2018 Cadillac XT5 is offering an all-new design compared to last year’s model. The 2018 is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine, and this year, drivers can opt for a new advanced “twin-clutch” all-wheel drive system to help control the vehicle in diverse terrains; this AWD system comes standard on the range-topping trim. Technology has also been upgraded for the model, with the addition of a rear view camera, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a CUE system.

The 2018 Cadillac XT5 is available in four trim levels: XT5, Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Platinum.

Sculpted, contoured side panels and a sloped front hood make the 2018 Cadillac XT5 worthy of a second glance. Available in eight different colors, drivers can make the XT5 their own. For some extra flare, drivers can opt for illuminated door handles; they add visibility when entering your car at night, plus, they add a certain level of style only found on a Cadillac.

The 2018 Cadillac XT5 is available in eight different exterior colors: Radiant Silver Metallic, Red Passion Tintcoat, Crystal White Tricoat, Harbor Blue Metallic, Stellar Black Metallic, Deep Amethyst Metallic (pictured above), Dark Granite Metallic, and Bronze Dune Metallic.
