We have owned many cadillacs from the dts to xt5. Never had problems until 2021. Bought a new xt5 platinum and had nothing but problems. Had to have gm engineer come fix it, rear view went bad, had to put in new coaxial, wouldn't work, ordered another part. While it was in garage we made a big mistake, got tired of 2021 being in garage all the time with only 600 miles and bought a 2022 xt5, at 200 miles alerts started from onstar engine and transmission, wouldn't shift out of 1st gear. It had 10 alerts and wouldn't shift out of 1st, not to mention Electric drive and seal in axle leaked. At 600 miles was back in garage for three weeks with another engineer. We have had our fill of cadillacs.

Wife loves the rearview camera, the surround view and heads up display. The car seems quick then then the 0-60 times I have seen listed for the 6 cyl, could be the gearing of the 9 speed automatic. But most of all it excels in quality of interior material and ride comfort. I can't believe Cadillac is discontinuing the XT5 as it is there number 1 seller.

Don’t buy you will be sorry

Worst vehicle I have ever owned. Android auto is the worst system going. It doesn’t work properly. Problems trying to hook up 2 phones. If my husband is on his phone and I have to leave, the system will connect his phone and instead of mine. I can hear his conversation all the way down the street. When I get out of range, the system drops his call and he has to make another call. The system will not connect my phone until I turn off the car. I have to buy onstar for a minimum of $400 a year in order to get map updates, or you have to purchase an sd card for $150 or more each year. Every time I start the car I get a message to contact nstar to purchase. This message stays on the screen until I clear it. If I don’t clear the message it covers up the icons that are available to use. Customer service for gm and onstar will tell you that it is what it is. Can’t help you. You are being forced to purchase items that you do not want in order to get things to work properly. These fees are not one time fees, they are every year which will increase every year. I regret buying this car and I will never buy a gm or Cadillac ever again. Their operating systems are the worst ever.

Disappointed!

After only 2,500 the ac started whining terribly. I took it to Ben Mynatt in Concord, NC to have repaired, after two tries and a new compressor, the ac still whines. I like the vehicle, but I am very disappointed in the fact that a brand new off the show room floor vehicle has this issue and disappointed at the service I received at Ben Mynatt in Concord, NC. I plan to escalate the issue to GM.
