All-new for 2004, the SRX represents Cadillac's entry in the luxury SUV market. This model comes in 2 trims: the V6 and V8, both of which come in RWD and AWD versions. Both trims have 4 doors, seat 7, and offer an optional third row seat.
The V6 uses a 3.6 L, 260 hp V6 engine and the V8 uses a 4.6 L, 320 hp V8 powertrain with 5 speed automatic transmission. Gas mileage between the two trims averages out to around 15 mpg in the city and 21 on the highway. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power/leather seats, cd player, ABS brakes, traction control, and stability control. Options include sunroof and navigation system. The 2004 Cadillac SRX can tow anywhere from 1000 to 3500 lbs. and has 32.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats up.
Overall, drivers enjoy the SRX's capable powertrain, spacious interior, and smooth handling. On the other hand, no one will mistake this SUV for a top-shelf import with its inexpensive interior materials. The 2004 Cadillac SRX presents a viable option for those in the market for a quality domestic SUV.
What owners say
"Owners of the 2004 Cadillac SRX generally love its luxurious features, comfortable seating, and good power, especially with the V8 engine. Many appreciate the spacious interior and useful technology, like the DVD players for kids. However, some drivers express concerns about reliability, particularly with mechanical issues and high repair costs once the warranty expires. While the gas mileage is decent for a large vehicle, it often disappoints in city driving."
I love all the bells and whistles on this car: from the side mirrors that go down in reverse, to the garage door opener built into the sunshade. My granddaughter loves the sunroof that goes open all the way back to her back seat and the separate DVD players in each headrest. One of my other favorites is the automatic back seat with a touch of a button, no more broken nails! This car is extremely woman friendly and convenient!
September 13, 2012I love this car all the way around. It handles nicely. I love the safety features and the sound system. My kids love the backseat entertainment system. I love the dvd navigation. The car is very comfortable for around town and on long trips. Very dependable, with little repair costs, just regular maintenance. Acceleration is second to none with the V8...lots of power!
January 16, 2013I love my SRX. I get compliments every where I go. The gas mileage is good in town and on the road. I love the back lift gate. It is easy for hauling groceries etc.

December 31, 2007This was the answer to needing a larger car for a family that is growing! Having two children that are getting taller made it necessary to replace my Jeep Patriot with something that could offer the kids more room. The really cool thing is that the SRX handles really well (Corvette like...)which make it fun for Dad to drive. I was really lucky to find this 8 year old car that is in showroom condition with only 34,000 miles. This is my second Cadillac and I doubt that I will deviate away from Cadillacs again based on the quality of this car. I just won't be the first owner any future ones that end up in my garage. They are great used cars for the money when you find a good one!
April 25, 2012We liked this car so much we bought another one. The Northstar V8 provides all the power you'll need, even though this is a heavy car. If you're looking for one, make sure you buy the V8 / AWD version if you can find one.
November 18, 2012The Cadillac SRX is a great SUV. It has plenty of power and luxury options. The sunroof is huge and the seats are comfortable. I really love this car. I put 17" wheels on it so that I could fit better gripping tires and not loose gas milage. They have hardly worn after 10,000 miles.
September 10, 2013Appearance- Purchased this car in 2004 because of it's attractive styling, the front seat leg room and the comfortable ride, more like a car than a truck. Build quality - Had some mechanical problems over the years all have been fixed. Cost reasonable, I guess so, it seems very expensive to fix anything these days. Gas mileage is OK, 20 - 21 on the road, 14-15 in town. Performance - the V6 has enough power and pop, the all wheel drive is great in heavy rain, no snow in Florida but assume it would do well in the snow. The back seats can be tight for a large person. I wish there was a gear indicator on the dashboard.
May 19, 2013Great handling and performance for a SUV. Very good power to weight ratio for a daily driver. Best looking crossover SUV built to date in my opinion. Gas mileage stinks in town. 21 or 22 Highway with tornado installed. Fitted car with aftermarket crossdrilled and slotted rotors for less than the price of new std. rotors. Fun to drive for a SUV, has a very sprty yet refined feel and look.
May 13, 2009It's big and american. But, you Can't truly complain when you have big American comfortable seats, a sunroof you can fit a Rhinoceros through, and fairly good fuel economy for a seven-seat behemoth.
June 11, 2008The cadillac SRX is a great looking car but it broke down a lot and no one knows how to fix one. Do not even bother bringing it to the dealer because they do not know how to fix one. right after the warranty (at 51,000 miles) the stability control system never disengaged and they only fixed it for a few months
