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.

  Unexpected - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By Grooveman - September 1 - 5:00 am

  The SRX handles corners with nimbleness unexpected from a vehicle this large. The styling is classic Cadillac with attention to detail, like real wood grain solid metal inserts and stitched leather throughout. The Panoramic roof is a sight to behold, gives your passengers the impression that they are in a convertible. The driver is wrapped in controls, but never overwhelmed, everything essential is on the steering column.

  I love this vehicle! - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By J T Curry - August 29 - 9:34 am

  I am so impressed with my 2007 SRX. The interior is wonderful and very driver friendly. The leather and wood- grain look great. I looked at a lot of mid-sized SUVs and sedans...this is the best of both worlds. We got the 3rd row seating because we have 5 grandkids. Even the older kids love the "very back" seat. When they are not with us it folds down to a full size storage area. The sunroof is incredible. I will never be without OnStar or hands-free phone service. Both are great security features. The cars phone has worked in areas where my regular cell phone would not. It cost more per minute..but when needed it is well worth it. It is funny to have a car with its own phone #.

  2007 SRX V8 AWD - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Jeff - August 24 - 1:55 pm

  I purchased a V8 AWD with the sport package. The V6 SRX is more than adequate but for a little less gas mileage the V8 makes the SRX that much more enjoyable. Here is a first for me, after owning German, American and Japanese luxury cars, this is the first time I did not need to go back to the dealer to correct a minor or major problem. You heard right, no issues at all for the first 4 month and 4000 miles. The SRX drives extremely well, very responsive controlled ride, very fast and the six speed shifts at the right times even w/o electing to shift yourself. Workmanship and the new interior are world class. I am not easy to please but this is the best crossover out there and blows Lexus away

  This car is hot! - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By spa_r_key - August 10 - 10:00 am

  First time Cadillac buyer, bought the car 3 days ago and I cant get over the ride, very smooth and quiet. Bought the black exterior w/black interior, ultraview sunroof, radio/nav, 8 speakers, Onstar, no third row, V8...enough said. Hands down, the best I have owned. Keep an eye on your speed, the V8 can get you in trouble. Not many of them on the road like the BMWs or Mercedes so its sleek design will turn heads.

  Great Car!! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By GRW - July 30 - 10:00 am

  This is the second SRX I have owned. The 2005 is a nice upgrade from the 2004. This car gets lots of looks! On the road gas milleage is 22 MPG, not bad for 320 HP engine. Love the car.

  Pleasantly surprised - 2008 Cadillac SRX
  By pan - June 28 - 7:25 am

  The SRX is a pleasure to drive. The 6-cyl engine has more than enough power and the car is filled with luxury features. Quality throughout. Better gas mileage than comparable Japanese cars (except for hybrids). Very nice.

  SRX all I expected and more - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Lucci - June 24 - 9:01 am

  Large crossover. Handles and drives like a car, not a truck. Magnaride suspension really helps with that and is well worth the $1650. 3rd seat mostly for kids but for the rare occaisions I need it, it is perfect. It stores in the floor at the push of a button.

  Not Worth The Money - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Brighton - June 18 - 8:20 am

  The V8 engine works well on flat straight roads. With the mountain driving I do, the 6 speed is geared too high and it continously losses powers and shifts, even in the S mode. In a 25 mile stretch of mountain driving the engine shifted 40 times in regular drive and 33 times in the "s" mode. Very dissappointed in the performance of this car. The back up warning is useless, the is only a audio warning when you are within 12 to 18 inches of an object and only if your reverse speed is 3 to 5 mph. Otherwise you are required to look about the back window for lights to determine if there is something behind you.

  My first Cadillac, and not my last! - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By TX Lady - June 15 - 3:04 pm

  I absolutely love my SRX! I looked at these for two years before finally taking the plunge with a 2007 V6 with the third row power folding seat. I wasnt sure I really wanted an SUV since I had driven a luxury sedan for years, but the transition was effortless. My husband wanted me to get the Ecalade but I felt that was just too big but the SRX is perfect! The ride is wonderful, and I have no problem parking and turning like you can have with other large SUVs.
