Otherwise, the full array of driver-assistance features are on hand, including blind-spot warning, forward-collision warning with automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic parking assist. There is no mention of the XT5 offering Cadillac’s semiautonomous Super Cruise feature, which will be available in the CT6 sedan.

Drivers might not have to deal with it that much, however, as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also are standard, and there’s wireless charging to keep your phone juiced. Cadillac’s CUE infotainment system is fitted, naturally, but the company claims it’s improved with faster processing. The advantage is that it can electronically allow drivers to “see through” the rear pillars and the rear-seat passengers’ heads. It superimposes a camera feed over the mirror glass. The highlight feature is Cadillac’s electronic Rear Camera Mirror, which will debut first in the new range-topping CT6 sedan. Most people will be more interested in the in-car tech. The suspension combines struts up front and a multilink setup at the rear Cadillac’s adaptive Continuous Damping Control comes standard with the available 20-inch wheels (18s are the base offering).

Additionally, the driver is able to effectively lock the system in front-drive mode for greater fuel efficiency. Cadillac describes the all-wheel-drive system as able to send 100 percent of the engine’s torque to either axle it can further apportion torque across the rear wheels, with 100 percent going to either side. (In the Chinese market, Cadillac also will offer a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder but we won’t get that engine.)įront-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive optional. Output climbs only marginally, to 310 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, but with the weight loss as well as the arrival of auto stop-start and a switch from a six-speed to an eight-speed automatic, both acceleration and fuel economy should improve. Under the hood once again is a 3.6-liter V-6, but this is a new engine seen already in the ATS and the CTS. Skillful bending of sheetmetal and attention to detail allows the XT5 to appear longer, lower, and wider than the somewhat ungainly SRX despite its nearly identical proportions. That weight loss is for a total package that is within an inch of the SRX in length, width, and height, but with a two-inch-longer wheelbase (at 112.5 inches) and an inch-wider track.
