Highlights of the XT5 base model's standard features include 18-inch wheels, LED daytime running lights, rear parking sensors, simulated leather upholstery, power-adjustable front passenger seats, a power liftgate with height memory, a 40/20/20-split folding rear seat (with sliding and reclining functionality), keyless ignition and entry, and remote engine start. All-wheel drive is optional on all but the base XT5 trim and comes standard on the top Platinum trim. Still, with its distinctive styling, spacious interior and a pleasant ride and drive, the Cadillac XT5 merits a close look.Ī 3.6-liter V6 engine (310 horsepower, 271 pound-feet of torque), an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard across the lineup. The Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class are all a bit smaller but typically offer better fuel economy and a broader range of engines. It offers more cargo space and a more attractive price than the Lexus RX 350, but less passenger and cargo room than the Lincoln MKX. The XT5 is in the mix with other crossovers you might consider. The V6 engine, which is the only engine Cadillac offers, won't wow you with its performance or fuel economy, while some interior design choices impede ease of use and visibility.
An available towing package enables the XT5 to pull up to 3,500 pounds behind it.Īlthough the XT5 cuts a handsome figure, we've found in our testing that it doesn't excel in any particular area. All-wheel drive is optional, but it's meant more for inclement-weather driving than any kind of off-road adventuring. On the road, the XT5 feels confident and reassuring whether pointed straight ahead over long highway miles or turning quickly on winding roads.
The XT5 is longer than its predecessor and yields more rear-seat legroom, but it's also lighter and more fuel-efficient.
