About the Cadillac XT5

The XT5 is Cadillac's next-smallest crossover SUV, slotting above the XT4 and below the XT6 in the automaker's lineup. The XT5 launched for the 2017 model year as the replacement for the Cadillac SRX. It hasn't been redesigned since its launch, and was last significantly updated for the 2020 model year.

What are the advantages of the Cadillac XT5?

• Spacious cabin
• Excellent value for money
• Stylish design

What is the best Cadillac XT5 model year?

The XT5 hasn't changed much in its many years on sale. For the 2020 model year, Cadillac updated the infotainment system, introduced a new trim-level structure, and added a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine alongside the existing 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 without changing the rest of the car. The infotainment system introduced post-2020 is a bit easier to use, but other than that all XT5 model years are broadly similar.

What are the disadvantages of the Cadillac XT5?

• Fairly pedestrian performance
• Aging interior
• Some trims have a harsh ride

Comparison: Is the Cadillac XT5 better than the Cadillac XT4?

The Cadillac XT5 is bigger and more SUV-like than the XT4. But as the entry-level model in Cadillac's lineup, the XT4 is also cheaper. The smaller Cadillac also gets a major update for the 2024 model year, so it will be more up-to-date than the XT5. At that point the main advantages of the XT5 will be space and a taller driving position.

Is the Cadillac XT5 a reliable car?

The 2023 Cadillac XT5 received a score of 82 out of 100 points in the J.D. Power consumer rankings. It tied with the Lincoln Nautilus for second place in the Midsize Premium SUV category, and was just one point behind the first-place Lexus GX and RX.

Is the Cadillac XT5 worth the cost?

Rival SUVs deliver a more luxurious experience than the Cadillac XT5, while the smaller XT4 feels fresher. So the XT5 isn't the most compelling offering in its market segment, or in the Cadillac SUV lineup.
