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.

  Questionable Love Affair - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Msblutx - July 30 - 1:25 am

  My previous car fell apart @ 530,00 miles. After tons of research, I found my SRX & fell in love with the price & the great condition for being used. 36 days into owning it, on a weekend trip, it made some funny noises. We pulled over a lot, but other than the check emissions light, nothing appeared to be wrong. The next morning, I started it up & the engine sounded HORRIBLE! We checked the oil & there WASNT ANY! We put nearly 6qts of oil in it and took it to the dealer the next day. There wasnt any sign of a leak & the dealer said it hadnt used oil either. Its purred like a kitten ever since & no more oil loss. Has anyone had this happen to them or explain what might have happened?

  I cant believe I LOVE a car! - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By sandymonet - July 29 - 6:11 pm

  My SRX is the most comfortable car I have ever owned including the Yukon! I get 24-28 MPG highway,18 city. most stylish, classy car on road. Seats, panorama roof, back seats, stereo,are great! 3rd row is for kids not adults! Am going to purchase new one in 2010 in red! Drives great in snow (Chicago) & rain. Handles like a dream with the two different size tires on front and back, ingenious idea. Picks up very quickly great maneuverability, awesome stereo. I tried the Porsche Cayenne, Volvo, Mdx, Lexus 300 & BMWX3,5 none compared to SRX thats why it was Car of the year 2006! Great job Cadillac! Finally it takes 87 gas, what a extra bonus esp. now!!! Ha, Ha BMW

  Car of a Lifetime - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By SRXLover - July 28 - 2:00 am

  Phenomenal vehicle! After owning countless cars, SUVs, and trucks, this is the one worth waiting for. So comfortable with the countless seating adjustments with heated seats and bolsters. Rides like a Cadillac and handles like a dream. Great fun,too.

  Awesome Family Vehicle - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Legazy - July 19 - 11:04 am

  Very spacious vehicle, especially when children are involved. The second row is comfortable and you can comfortably put kids in the back without too much of a hassle. The back compartment also has plenty of storage space especially for long road trips. If you have a bit more money to spend, this suv is a enjoyable lease and purchase.

  My New Vehicle! - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Mickey - July 8 - 8:33 am

  I have always been loyal to GM. This time, I purchased instead of leasing so I drove everything, BMW, Volvo, Maxda, Acura and settled on the SRX. I couldnt be happier, the ride is beautiful, the inside "top notch" not like the Enclave which was my first choice after I traded the Buick Rendezvous. Rear seat leg room better than any car I test drove. I am 6 feet tall and the vehicle is very, very comfortable all the way around. The extra seating in the cargo is useless to me so those will always stay down.

  Great experience 18mos into it - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By timtx01 - July 1 - 1:33 pm

  I had not bought an American car since the late 1980s and was afraid to try it again. But this car was such a looker, drove so well and was priced so attractively that I couldnt turn it up. I have been very happy with the car, with the exception of the gas mileage. I do a mix of about half city/half highway driving and I manage to average 15-16 mpg. On the freeway I get 21-23 mpg depending on road/weather conditions. I think the car could probably benefit from a slightly larger wheel size but as that would only decrease MPG I am happy enough with what it came with.

  Northstar - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Jake - July 1 - 12:05 pm

  Bought this V-8 used with 9,000 miles and now have 19,000 miles. My wife is the primary driver and she loves it. The All Wheel drive is great. The power rear tailgate is nice and makes it a snap to load at just the right height. We have not had any problems so far. The very best thing about the SRX with the Northstar is it is a blast to drive. This thing moves and handles very nice.

  I love my SRX, only had cosmetic problem - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By P Schultz - July 1 - 10:59 am

  I love my SRX. Its fun to drive, has plenty of power. The only problems Ive had with it is cosmetic issues. My radio dash and door handles started to peel, delaminate. I had those replaced now everything looks new again, but did notice it will most likely delaminate again. Other than that, its a joy to drive and seems very reliable so far.
