Overview & Reviews

A luxury crossover SUV, the Cadillac SRX utilizes components and construction more often associated with cars rather than the rugged truck-based underpinnings GM uses for its more traditional SUVs. The result is a more comfortable ride and better handling, along with plenty of versatility unless you need to tackle heavy-duty chores such as towing or off-road travel. Typically priced below European rivals, the SRX makes for a genuinely appealing alternative thanks to its distinctive styling, pleasant driving character and feature-rich cabin.

If you're shopping for a used Cadillac SRX, you'll find early models with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and options like a third-row seat and a V8. Later versions of this Cadillac crossover are a bit smaller, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, two rows of seating and V6 power. Although the newer version sacrifices some space, power and performance, it offers a significantly nicer interior with upgraded materials and technology.

  What a poor design - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By handysandy - December 23 - 5:44 pm

  I drove the SRX around my dealers streets and thought it was somewhat underpowered but acceptable. Now that I have had it for a month I am sorry I did not take the GM return option. This car is underpowered and has the poorest ride I have ever experienced. A few comments have noted that the ride of this car is horrible. I would add that I have never had a Cadillac with such a bone jarring ride ( I have had six of them before this one) My wife and I need our seats back almost all the way. There is no way to put the back seats down to form a cargo area with front seats back.Dealer says ride and cargo problems are design. Dont buy this expensive dog!!

  Hopefully a keeper. - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By tsenior - December 8 - 1:25 pm

  I looked at several vehicles including Highlander, Venza, Audi, Acura MDX and Acadia. Im still not convinced I made the best choice. Believe it or not my final choices were between the SRX and the Acadia..2 different autos, I know. I really like the space, utility and styling of the Acadia. I really liked the features and styling of the SRX. For starters the SRX ride is too stiff. I can sense the power struggle with the weight of the SRX. At cold idle the engine isnt as quiet as it should be. Seat adjustments are difficult because of the lack of space between the door and the seat...poor design. If the sunroof is open while on the freeway...excessive noise... more than my Ford F-350.

  SRX - Return of the Station Wagon - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Albert - December 7 - 4:13 pm

  I bought a Cadillac SRX because of its style and because I didnt want to get another Lexus SUV. The SRX is a dream to drive. It is more comfortable than a Lexus and it has superior handling (no fear of rollover on turns). But, I miss the Japanese common-sense engineering. The location of the AC, heater, and rear window wiper controls on the SRX require your full attention (eyes off the road) when adjusting. You cannot avoid rubbing the backs of your legs on the rocker panels when exiting the car (this gets them very dirty when raining or snowing). There is no remote gas cap lid (you have to buy a locking gas cap like we did in the 70s). Lastly, the second row seats do not fold flat.

  2010 SRX - I love it!!! - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By Scotty - November 25 - 6:40 pm

  I saw the commercial for this car and they had me. I had been looking at a variety of cross overs but felt they lacked style. I will say that this car turns heads. Ive received a ton of compliments on it already. I love the exterior design. I just picked it up last week and I will say that I love it!!!

  Noise? - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By GoldMist - November 25 - 2:24 pm

  Bought my premium SRX in October. Absolutely love it. Except for ONE THING - Does anyone hear an odd noise coming from behind the center console? Ive been told this noise is in all SRXs. Dealership said it was probably the navigation cooling fan? Seems odd to me...

  A near hit. - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By Brian - November 25 - 2:04 pm

  Although this model looks better than the previous generation, I still like the BMW styling more. The sharp lines in the hatch dont look good on this type of car. This car is way overpriced and cant compete with Lexus, Infiniti, Acura when the only engine option is a whimpy 3.0 V6. Why did they take out the V8? Also, the way the windows slope down in the two rear windows looks dumb and takes away blind spot visibility. My Pacifica has a bigger engine, more interior room, but gets the same fuel economy. Buy a Ford Edge and youll get a car with better resale value for $10k less.

  Extensive test drive only - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By sparky5858 - November 21 - 5:25 am

  We have a 2007 SRX about to end lease, and we took on of these for a test drive. Though we like the exterior styling and sunroof (both trump the rx 350), thats pretty much where it ends. The first thing the driver is presented with is a very clunky and archaic steering wheel adjustment mechanism. Even though our 2007 has mechanical tilt, at least theres actually some pivot. Not here. Very cheap feel. What is Caddy thinking? Drove it back to back with the GMC Terrain. Very similar feel for more than $10,000 more. Also, very sluggish and the ride quality was not that good. We actually thought the Terrain had a better ride. Caddy missed here. Well keep shopping, but leaning toward RX 350.
