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.

  This Cadillac Delivers - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By BigWes - September 20 - 10:55 am

  I rented 2010 SRX first to make sure I liked the cars offerings, and it won me over hands down. It is a bonifide Cadillac in every aspect. From the front grille to the tail lights it screams loud that it is GMs best. Smooth ride, solid handling, quality appointments and surperb brakes. I read a couple of reviews suggested a bigger engine was needed. I find the base 3.0 V6 quite sufficient for the task. Its responsive to throttle input and EPA mileage rating seems to be true. I LOVE this car and it was worth the wait for them to hit dealer showrooms. Keep making cars like this GM and you will regain the #1 auto maker spot soon.

  Worth the wait - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By Alex - September 12 - 2:22 pm

  In August, my wife and I were tempted to pounce on an Audi Q5 in order to take advantage of CARS but decided to wait for the 2010 SRXs to arrive instead. This vehicle has been totally worth the wait! (so far) If it were possible I would write in an 11 for "Exterior Design". You simply wont find better than this in the crossover class. The interior is stylish while not overdone. While the Q5 has a better navigation CPU/GPU, I find the retractable design and overall touch screen interface of the SRX to be superior. The ride is smooth and quiet while the throttle response and steering somehow maintain a high fun-to-drive factor. Q5? RX350? No thanks. Give me the 2010 SRX.

  "Disapointed" - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By pete m - September 10 - 8:24 pm

  I bought a caddy because my dad always had caddy"s, and said you get a lot more for your money. I bought it when it had 59k on it. But being a "cadllac"I thought this would not be an issue. I have had nothing but repair after repair, and to top it off, it use"s "oil"... The dealer has told me that using a qt. Every 2k miles is considered normal!And there was nothing they could do. Told the dealer, my next car will be a Toyota.

  Perfect size - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By GRC - August 14 - 5:46 pm

  Having been the driver of Duallys, trucks and large SUVs over the last 20 years, I am delighted with the roomy compactness of the SRX. I still feel high enough up off the road to be comfortable, and I dont worry about an entire Honda Accord (or the like) being obscured & hidden in the blind spots as is the case with driving large SUVs. The SRX wheels into the smallest of parking spaces with as much ease as any small car. It handles effortlessly and is a pleasure to drive. Cadillac appears to still be King of Bells & Whistles.

  MY LEMON?I - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By BUD MASTERSON - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE(MY 4TH SUV)FOR JUST OVER A MONTH. AT 23 MILES, THE FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE RECUT, THE LEFT FRONT STRUT REPLACED-NEVER EVEN HIT A BUMP. IN THE SHOP FOR 4 DAYS. BEFORE 1600 MILES, THE LEFT FRONT SPRING? HAD TO BE REPLACED-THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING(6 INCHES MORE RR WHEEL SPACE)FAR TO THE LEFT. ALSO HAD A CONTINUING BAD FRONT END SQUEEK. SLAP SHIFT TRANNY MUCH OF THE TIME WONT GO INTO STICK MODE FROM AUTO MODE WHILE DRIVING- ANOTHER 4 DAYS IN THE SHOP. THE DEALER WAS ALWAYS TERRIFIC-BUT WHY DOES A BRAND NEW CADDY HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS ALREADY-VERY SCARRY. HOPEFULLY ITS FUTURE IS BETTER

  Check out the Rest, Then Go for the SRX - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Dad w/Kids - August 7 - 6:45 am

  Ive put over 60,000 miles on my V6 AWD SRX, and have enjoyed the superior comfort, drive handling, and performance in adverse weather conditions. This cross-over just feels safe in all conditions, a comfort when hauling kids and on long trips. Im a great fan of station wagons, but find the SRX to drive even better with superb luxury. Great in snow, mud and on slippery roads. Cadillac bested my first choice, the Acura MDX, with its better looks, regular gas, and sporty handling.

  Great Ride - 2009 Cadillac SRX
  By t.stiefel - August 5 - 12:11 pm

  I have never really been a Cadillac man before. I have always liked Ford over GM, but after test driving the SRX and Volvo XC90, there was only one choice. The SRX has a better fell to it. You can take it through corners and it will not scream at you, it asks for more.

  The special aftermarket packages u need - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By fjordan - July 14 - 8:20 pm

  right, there are 2 pacakges you definitely need to add in addtional to the bare-bone base model (V6 RWD). 1. luxury package . (Not lux-performance pkg, which is a hoax and buy you nothing more than more cost of gasoline...) 2. After market: wood-view package. the reason is that the original design of SRXs central panel is a bit blackish, and the added flavor of wood trim will make the interior 200% more gorgeous, classic and impressive. Beyond these 2 packages, the Caddy SRX seats are just as comfortable as any mercedes. The acceleration is the best in the bunch as compared with Porsche Cayenne or X5.
