Second Cadillac SUV

This is the second Caddy SUV I have owned. I traded my 2015 SRX Performance in on an XT5 Premium Luxury. This is a totally different car for sure. I have a couple nits to pick on this. My SRX had adjustable pedals which was nice for both my wife and I when we drove it. Some of the storage nooks are not as handy. Having said that, I appreciate the expanded safety equipment and the more sophisticated ride and handling. I have had the car a month but not put many miles on it because of the COVID 19 situation. I am still figuring out some of the new electronic features but I am sure I will get it all sorted out once I can get on the road and do some real driving. I will provide further updates as the opportunity allows. The boxes below do not provide the option of specifying that I have a FWD 6 Cyl

Traded in my 2014 XTS luxury and couldn’t be more happy with this SUV. Got the Garnet metallic and I just love the color. Got the 3.6L AWD and it runs like a champ.

Very comfortable ride. Lots of leg room. Pleasant smooth ride experience. Good visibility of the road. Love the blind spot tech & park assist. Well equipped tech package with the prem luxury, mid level model. Touchscreen is easy to use & you can navigate it with some console buttons /knobs too. Impressive cargo space. It has exceeded my expectations.

The Caddy XT5 ROCKS!

The moment we stepped into this XT5, we were wowed. Then driving it (with the V6 engine) sealed the deal. We had planned on buying the Lexus RX350, which is very nice but felt like driving a Japanese sedan, but once we checked out the Caddy - that was it for us!

2020 Cadillac XT 5

Great SUV. Not the largest or the smallest but midsize SUV with lots of power and plenty of room. Vehicle operates and handles beautifully. I don’t know how I got along without the front and rear view cameras.Only drawback: The backup camera is phenomenal but if you are not using the camera, the back up lights leaves something to be desired.
