Cadillac XT5 Model History

A replacement to Cadillac's original crossover vehicle, the SRX, the 2017 introduction of the XT5 is an evolution of the American luxury brand's premium compact utility focus. Appearing with a more chiseled look, the Cadillac XT5's front end channels the CT6 sedan while the defined side streaking is reminiscent of the ELR coupe. While the XT5 has a longer wheelbase than the SRX, the newer luxury crossover is slightly shorter in overall length. The added wheelbase is reflected in greater interior space found in a refined Cadillac cabin area. An enhanced Cadillac CUE system, standard Wi-Fi hotspot as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are high-tech interior features found inside the 2017 XT5. Offered with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, a new 3.6-liter V-6 engine including advanced technologies such as direct injection and Active Fuel Management generates 310 horsepower for the Cadillac XT5 compact premium crossover. The adoption of the XT' designation on the 2017 XT5 is also viewed as an indicator smaller and larger crossovers may be unveiled by Cadillac at a later date.
