Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

The 2022 Cadillac XT5 offers a roomy cargo area, effortless smartphone integration and relatively good value in the midsize luxury SUV segment. But it isn't a standout in any particular area and fails to match the level of luxury found in most of its contemporaries.

Found the perfect fit !

2021 Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

We test drive the Lincoln Aviator and found the engine auto off/ on very jerky and the shift controls in a very odd position. It steered bulky compared to the Cadillac xt5.

2020 Cadillac XT5 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

Safety

Our experts like the XT5 models:

Safety Alert Seat: Generates vibrating pulse patterns in the driver's seat cushion to warn of a potential collision on either side of the car.
Vehicle Interior Movement Sensor: Part of the Advanced Security package, it alerts the driver before opening the doors if any movement has been detected inside the vehicle.
Forward Collision Alert: Issues an alert if a potential collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian seems imminent. The system can initiate braking if necessary.
