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.

  SRX Smokes - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By DavisFamily - May 21 - 10:46 am

  Great car to drive. Drive both the V8 and V6...big diff. with the 8 in performance, little diff. in fuel economy. Tight suspension, similar feel to the Acura we traded. I would highly recommend.

  srx appraisal - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By ler - May 16 - 2:00 am

  Truly surprised at the quality and performance. Styling is unique and features are very surprising. Cant wait to drive in an extremely heavy snowfall. The all wheel drive and handling feels like you are "glued" to the road.

  Had to get my SRX back! - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Back to SRX! - May 2 - 9:29 pm

  Had an 05 SRX and thought I needed a bigger rig to hall the kids so I got the Yukon XL Denali and then I knew I missed the fun, exillerating drive of the SRX. So Im back. Got the fully loaded V8, all the toys! Rides like a dream, corners like a sports car, hauls the kids with fun. Open sky with both roofs, and AWD for the NH snow! Black on Black...head turning! I think Cadillac missed the call to market this exciting crossover. Fun to drive, quality build, upscale materials, power to spare! Youll love driving the V8. Now go out and get your Caddy SRX and take to the highway. Its a fun sporty crossover.

  The best of all worlds - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Charles from Canada - April 27 - 8:30 am

  I replaced my BMW 325xi with the SRX V8 fairly fully loaded. I wanted something fun, sporty to drive yet that would have the space for both passengers and stuff for the growing family plus that I could use for visiting business customers. The SRX which we recently got has really blown us away on all fronts. Outstanding interior, comfort and the driving experience for a car of this size is just a hair less dynamic than the BMW - quite amazing really. Fuel economy is so-so, but I expected that. At least it takes regular fuel so there is savings versus premium on most comparable vehicles. This vehicle has the best of all worlds - comfort, performance, fun, luxury and utility!

  Cadillac SRX 8 - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Donald Anderson - April 26 - 8:10 am

  We got this as a demo with only 3500 miles on it, now has 8700. We have made two long trips with this car and found it to be extremely comfortable. It handles like a sports car and preforms excellent. However we have had to take it back for a stuck sunroof, rear washer quit, and to check the back up warning system. We also have a Mountaineer that is now a 2nd choice to drive auto. It has every option except AWD. In Atlanta not a necessary feature. Avg about 20 mpg through mountains driving from Atl to Detroit. Researched the SUVs throughly, this is the best choice!

  Awesome vehicle - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By bags - April 10 - 9:03 pm

  We traded in an 04 CTS and opted for the larger SRX. It really is an awesome vehicle. The power is strong throughout all the gears. If you didnt know it was a 6 cylinder, you would think it was an "8". Great ride, supportive seats The roof is fantastic. Quiet ride. Paint is top quality. Anyone thinking of a mid size SUV ought to give this one a look. Congrats to Cadillac. Mileage is mediocre, 4300 pounds is the reason.

  Bug free for 2 years - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By kc - April 5 - 1:36 pm

  This is the first American car Ive purchased in 25 years and I cant believe it hasnt had a single bug or problem with it. This is a first in any car Ive ever owned! Used to Drive Lexus and BMW but ill stick with Cadillac since the car has been dependable and America needs my business.

  3.6 AWD SRX - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By inline6 - April 3 - 2:00 am

  This is the best put together vehicle we have ever purchased. No squeaks, rattles, even panel fit and great paint. Interior is a little plastic, but very attractive and comfortable. Bose stereo is outstanding. Car is not a muscle car with the V6, however the Northstar is not worth the additional $5000.00. Only complaint is the FE3 magnetic suspension is not available without the over the top 1SC package.
