After owning a 2003 Escalade for 9 years, a 2012 Acadia Denali for 7 and the 2020 XT5 for 18mos., I feel qualified to compare them. We miss the Escalade for it's roomy interior with third seat; and enjoyed it's comfortable seats and ride. But, the Acadia was a better car for comfort and while not as quiet as the Escalade; it handled as well and outperformed with the same power plant. Transmission did not shift as smoothly as the Escalade but we enjoyed it. Now, the XT5 hs a smoother, quieter ride( very quiet), and with the 9 speed tranny really excelerates better than the other two. Once you shift into 4th or higher it is very smooth. But, the low speed, in town driving is very jerky, like the electronic shifting can't decide what gear to stay in or when to shift. I hate it! Plan to take it to the dealer soon. I can't drive the XT5 more than 2 hours before my butt hurts for lack of cushioning and support. Very uncomfortable on any trip. I have to have a cushion to provide the padding I need. We like the car for the quietness and ride but will have to have the driver seat rebuilt if we keep it much longer. The improved 3.8 V6 is the engine I have driven for past 30years.

Unless you are tall, consider adding running boards at the start. This car has get up and go that you wouldn't expect from an inline 4 cylinder. Handles easily and is fun to drive--amazing for a SUV.

Everything very nice, however there is no headroom in the back seat, if you're taller than 5'8. Forget it.
