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.

  My first SUV / CUV is also American - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By 3dobuzz - December 29 - 6:55 pm

  After being with Audi, Mercedes, and Infiniti for the last 16 years, the SRX is a great find. We picked up a slightly used SRX4 with just under 1,600 miles for $11K under list. We also opted for the Cadillac certification so we have 5 years of $0- decuctible bumper-to-bumper warranty on it. I have already brought it in to address a couple of items like the sunroof being slow/stuck and the clock being noisy (sunroof motor and clock replaced w/o questions). The interior is just about as luxurious as the germans, my 12 year old likes curling up in the 3rd row after tiring sports, and the V8 performs. If it only got 25 mpg, it would be perfect.

  Great Performance.but will not repeat - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By healthguy - December 28 - 10:25 pm

  This car reminds me of the NY Yankees. On paper, it just cant be beat. On the road, and day to day there are some glaring misses. Unless this is fixed in the next model year, I will not buy again. Now my detail: A great handler. Excellent solid feel of the road. Beautful look and touch. Quiet and smooth ride. Now the problem 1) Terrible heat and air control for back seats. 2) No button to open the hatch, you have to use the remote, and that takes practice. 3) with the rear ent system, you only get 1 cd/dvd. Just one, whats the deal with that? 4)3rd row electric seat is a death march and not simple either. Nothing like waiting 3 minutes in the rain for a seat.

  Lemon - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By sb1122 - December 21 - 3:46 pm

  December 30th will be 1 year since we leased this car. Since then we have replaced 1 battery, 6 tires, (all locations), 2 front wheels, a timing chain, a steering rack and a CV joint. While the servicing dealer has been great the fact remains that we still have a "vibration", or "rumble" at various speeds. Since filing lemon law papers and bringing back car for "last chance" repair, we are now informed that this is "typical/usual" to this car. They didnt say that the first 4 times car was in & they replaced wheels and tires. Otherwise we love the car!

  Well there you go ! - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Nigel - December 10 - 4:45 pm

  I thought Id do it ... delve into the American car market .. and I have to say ... what a mistake I made. You pay for what you get and this vehicle I suppose sums that up. Nice on the outside and inside I suppose but the drive and the handling .. appalling. Why is it American cars only drive well on a straight flat roads? Here in Europe we have no such thing and cant you tell with this car. Had an X5 and a Range Rover Sport before .. and now I know why. Nevermind .. it does look nice on the drive .. but thats about it. When will Americans ever build .. a decent car? I love to think they will one day. Well I have to go for a wallow down to the local supermarket now.

  I Love The SRX - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Jay - December 4 - 4:10 pm

  I just bought an SRX. It rides so good. We have 2 kids And they do not like to sit in the same seat so the thrid row comes handy. We put in a DVD player. I love the sunroof and the one in the thrid row.

  Disappointed - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Rogerg - December 4 - 12:12 pm

  Cadillac is unable to resolve a problem with hesitation when going up hills. Otherwise car handles well and is essentially a large station wagon. Gas mileage is poorer than window sticker.

  Its no Lexus - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Gearhead - November 28 - 10:11 am

  Fun to drive lots of power from the V8 AWD works great in the snow the ride is firm but not to firm, good leg room front and back except for the third row seat kids only 9yrs. and under. Too much cheap looking plastic on the interior and poor gas mileage 12mpg city 16-17 mpg hwy. Noisy engine

  SRX is blast to drive! - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By cuzmd - November 8 - 2:00 am

  Our SRX is extremely versatile, excellent in snow/ice and a favorite with my grandkids (because of the DVD setup) but mostly its a blast to drive. The Northstar engine is phenomenal as is the 5-sp auto trans. We regularly travel an approximate 50 miles of twisting, turning, two lane road and, other than my ZR1 Vette, Ive never had as much fun on that route as I have with the SRX. We traded a 2003 Infiniti G35,an excellent car, due to a move to a cold climate and a desire for more passenger space; we have the optional third seat.
