after one full year of ownership I am still very happy with the vehicle. Superb front seats, very good outward visibility and very good MPG especially when used no the speed (cruise) control. Much more precise fuel metering then with your right foot. On board center mputer actually shows my best at 41 on a trip home Friday m the mountains. Still frustrated with the arrangement of the indicator light for the electronic c parking brake. The design is not logical. Also all of these newer automatic t ansmssins have software quirks in handling higher number of ratios (6,8 or even 9). Not a deal breaker Judy st something you notice. Great road trip car with good cargo capacity.

Level smooth ride, at least with my edition, enjoyable to drive, great leg and head room, no mechanical issues of any kind knock wood, many features included such as remote start/height adjustable and hands free trunk, easy entry exit no side steps required. Seats are comfortable but a greater number of adjustment such as upper split bending/massage option wouldn't hurt. You might want to order or get one with a spare tire as it's an option otherwise comes with an air compressor not good for certain flats but has roadside assistance. The start stop function stopped working perhaps as the battery is slightly lower which is normal for lack of use but it's much better that way anyhow as there is no off on switch. There are improvements I would make for future editions such as fog lights, mirror turn signals automatic parking display when entering a parking space instead of only after reverse, less menus inside of menus by having more buttons, some materials are sensitive and delicate such as the dash velour so you have to be careful, I don't think the tires have rim protectors on these vehicles, add color changeable ambient lighting inside, night vision option for animal pedestrian detection which is available on some of their other vehicles. For the price it's hard to beat when you add it all up.

I upgraded from a Honda CRV (which was great). However, in this car I feel like a queen. I really like the safety features that tell me that a car or pedestrian is approaching and from where. When there is a danger, the driver seat vibrates that alerts you to look at instruments to see what the problem is. I was disappointed that there is no CD player. CDs may be on the way out, but most of us still have favorite CDs. It would be nice to be able to use them. Also, I was disappointed that no spare tire (unless it is purchased as an addition) or donut was provided. I only received a can of "stuff" to inflate my tire. However, Cadillac does provide excellent roadside assistance so I won't have to purchase that with my insurance. All in all, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who would like a really neat SUV.

I was not sure about this SUV initially. Did some research before buying. I never owned a Cadillac before and has always owned a Lexus. I was planning to buy a new Van/SUV for my wife as her Toyota Sienna has done 68000 miles on it. Even though the Sienna is a great van, I did not like the fact that AWD has the Run Flat Tires on them, which gives it a bumpy ride and is expensive replacing the tires as it cannot be repaired otherwise it was a great family vehicle for us. My son has been learning to drive and it was also did not look good for him as he was driving a family van. Since my Sienna was well maintained, I good a good appraisal for it, so we decided to buy new car. Initially we saw Pacifica, which my wife did not like - quality of the vehicle was in question. Then we took a test drive in Cadillac xt5, Very good ride, excellent quality overall. People talk about the Cue not being fast enough, I think the Cue is much better than the system in my 2014 MB ML350. I also noted that the xt5 does not have a CD player - which i don't mind as we never use CDs anymore, as we have learned to use USBs/SD cards. The vehicle has 2 USB port in the front console and 2 for the back seats, I would have expected Cadillac to have SD card reader installed - but not a big deal. The other issue is the cargo space, it could have been little bit bigger, the head clearance for back seat is 2 inches short when compared to Lexus RX - hope Cadillac brings an SUV with little bit more space for the back passengers and cargo. There is no other choice, either you go for xt5, or Escalade which is huge. Over all very happy. Have to wait and see how it holds up to its reputation. The above was my earlier review. Currently my SUV is with the dealer with complete black out of CUE system. Why driving the CUE system completely went dead and an error message saying " waiting for update media" and "copying 0/100" appeared. I absolutely have no control on navigation, blue tooth etc. The service guy does not know what it means and said their technical guy in off. Its been 4 days and no answer yet. Ended up going to Cadillac owners forum and found out other XT5 owners having same problem and the fis is ti install" human interface module" and have to wait for that part to arrive. So frustrated that a SUV that is done 1400 miles and 3 weeks old in service station? what kind of quality they have in their car? I miss my Toyota van and made a blunder buying XT5 instead of Lexus RX350. No more Cadillac. UPDATE: - SOLD IT AT A LOSS

I wrote the below review about nine months ago when I bought the XT5. I have definitetly changed my rating on this supposedly luxury SUV. At 2000 miles, the rear spoiler blew off the car on the freeway, nobody hit but real quality, made the American way. The best news: at 6,000 miles , the engine BLEW one whole bank of pistons. Completely new engine took 5 weeks to get in and installed. I won't go any further other than the fact that if you buy one of these Caddys, expect nothing but headaches. I recently bought a new 2018 Audi SQ5 and I am now ecstatic I did. Audi has hit it again with another winner. So far, this vehicle outperforms and handles 100% better than anything Caddy XT5 has to offer for only 1 grand more. OLD REVIEW BELOW: Picked up my new XT5 this past Saturday after doing much research and test driving. I was not even aware this model was being released by GM this early. Glad I stopped and looked, drove it and got hooked. In the past 3 weeks, tested QX5, RX350, BMW X5, GLE and GLS. I'm very picky when it comes to attention to detail so I tested and looked at many vehicles. This XT5 is simply amazing for the value and the money compared to some of the Germans and Japanese brands. I have been leary about American cars ever since the bailout but tried them out again. Glad I did... Without rambling, and after driving all those other vehicles, Caddy was the winner , hands down. Handling , front, side and rear view amazing, quietness, power, etc were all as good as it gets in my opinion. I am not a brand loyal person as you can see but I would recommend anyone looking in this category to give the XT5 a good look. My ONLY picky complaint in the piano black entertainment system panel. It is a fingerprint magnet. Told you I was picky. If anyone has anyone particular questions , you can always ask. I will be really anxious to see what the National Crash Tests look like once tested. So far, I am thrilled with my decision
