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.

  Better options out there. Cadillac CUE is disappointing, other car is BMW 650I and iDrive blows this away.

  Have enjoyed my SRX on most levels. Fun to drive, great looking, easy to handle & the look and feel of understated elegence. I have purchased it fully loaded & what a joy it has been. The SRX appeals to all the drivers in the family with only one complaint by me, fuel consumption.

  Sport version 20 inch wheels - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Pierre - February 25 - 9:58 pm

  On a trip in Maine on the cruise control very good acceleration. Road handling remarquable. On ice covered of snow in the left lane it is magic

  Traded in our 2006 Lexus 400h - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By crossbuilder - February 16 - 1:58 pm

  Im 75 years old, have owned countless cars, and this is the best all around vehicle to date. The Lexus 400h [yes it rattled]was the 2nd worst, which barely beat out the 1974 Chevy Vega.

  I love my SRX - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By CindyB - February 12 - 9:45 am

  I got exactly what I was expecting when I purchased my SRX. I rented a 2007 model while on vacation and fell in love with it. I got back from vacation and bought one four days later. I bought it fully loaded and do not regret my choice.

  Fine Performing SUV - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Gregg - January 22 - 6:47 pm

  My experience with this SUV has been nothing but satisfaction. I can see why its called a crossover type. It can please on all levels. It feels and drive like a fine car and can accelerate quickly and smoothly as a sport car. Spacious inside without looking big and gaudy on the outside. The body design is sporty looking and yet refined. I did not expect to even consider this vehicle because it was in its second year of production but the test drive simply left the competition behind. Not only is quality built under the hood but also is pleasure and comfort. We took a 1400 roundtrip and driving fatique was never a factor!

  Great truck - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Aleks - January 8 - 9:19 am

  Im an automotive plastics engineer. I also own a bike and race car. I am very critical of quality and performance in anything I own or drive. I also own an 06 Toyota 4 runner. Im happy to say that I am very impressed with the quality and performance of this truck. The seats are very comfortable, the glass roof (s) are very large with power shades on both, the transmission smooth, great handling, good power, good brakes, good sound system, nice extra features like little gloveboxes in doors, etc.. The only somewhat negatives: gas mileage, a couple of panels not so tight on the gap tolerances, odd slight valvetrain noise...and thats about it. Its a great vehicle. V8 a must too.

  Its a Cadillac! - 2010 Cadillac SRX
  By J BYRD - January 1 - 4:26 pm

  Ive had the 2010 Cadillac Luxury, Premium turbo and now own the Performance model. The Luxury was front wheel drive and I wanted the AWD with all the features, so I got the Premium model with the 2.8 turbo. It was great with nice acceleration and all the features...fully loaded with entertainment package. I then saw the Performance model with all the same features except the 2.8 turbo and econo mode; however, I liked it better because it uses regular gas, not like the turbo, which requires premium gas. I liked all 3 SRX s...but the Performance model 3.0 meet all my needs and is Cadillac Luxury in every way. Edmunds website was very helpful in the research to fine the perfect car for me.

  Our best car yet! - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By ROJO340 - December 31 - 10:39 pm

  We traded a 2005 Escalade in on this car. I was very pleased with the Escalade and was hesitant at first with the SRX, but wow. We got the magnet ride, and it cant be better. Cadillac is missing the boat by not advertising this car as much as the others. We tested the Enclave and the Acadia. Go with the Caddy.
