The all-new Cadillac XT5 aims not only to succeed the best-selling SRX, but to steal shoppers away from crossover alternatives from BMW, Audi, Lexus, Mercedes, and Land Rover.

In terms of powertrain, a new 8-speed transmission helps the XT5 eek out better fuel economy from its 3.6-liter V6. That engine carries over from the outgoing SRX, but gets 2 more horsepower and 6 more lb-ft of torque, for a total of 310 hp and 271 lb-ft.  

Cadillac, long known as the Standard of the World, is now facing stiffer competition than ever. The XT5 features all new styling, but the same amount of chrome and aluminum that shoppers have come to expect. The interior features leather upholstery, wood accents, and plenty of legroom for up to 5 passengers.

All the technology and safety features we look for in a luxury crossover should be present in the XT5, especially if you opt for higher trims. A 13-speaker Bose audio system and Apple CarPlay should keep you entertained via the CUE infotainment system’s touchscreen, and autonomous emergency braking, a surround view camera system, cross-traffic alerts, and lane keeping assist will help keep you safe.

Brand loyalty is a powerful force in the auto world. We suspect that SRX owners will be eager to upgrade to the new XT5, but will owners of competing vehicles make the switch, too?
