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.

  The 2005 Cadillac SRX is My Favorite Vehicle - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By EG - November 30 - 2:03 am

  The 2005 Cadillac SRX is a wonderfully comfortable vehicle to drive. The 6-cyclinder engine could be a little peppier, espectially when getting onto highways. I found the steering to be tight and excellent.

  All in One - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By craig - November 26 - 10:21 pm

  This past year I have owned three cars. The first was an Infinti FX. The FX was a great drivers car but had way too rough of a ride and the rear had little storage. My second car was a brand new Buick Lucerne. It drove great but, didnt fair well in the snow and rain. Also my V6 Lucerne was hard to get in and out of and was sluggish. My Cadillac SRX V6 has very comfortable seats, a functional rear gate, and is nimble and quick. You quickly forget your driving a SUV.

  A Great Station Wagon - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Rod - November 26 - 1:37 am

  We love this vehicle and can really find nothing about which to complain. The power is super, the ride is comfortable, it looks great. It uses a bit more fuel than I would like but if you can afford a Cadillac you can afford the fuel. Nothing about this car is cheap. The Bose radio and XM satellite radio are the best. My wife and I often just turn into the garage and listen to whats playing. My one complaint is the manual could explain some of the buttons more thoroughly. This car is the very best anyone could want.

  More than just transportation - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By S.C. Good - November 25 - 10:34 pm

  I ordered the new V8 Sport SRX with 20-inch wheels and took delivery 11/15/06. This Cadillac has everything I wanted in a new vehicle: great looks smooth, powerful acceleration comfortable ride and attractive, well appointed interior with many driver convenience features. Since my car is also my part-time office, I wanted a vehicle in which I could enjoy time spent in it. Now I prefer my moving office to my stationary one! The Cadillac SRX is much more than just transportation.

  My Cadillac Station Wagon - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Drrodd - November 21 - 8:09 am

  I have always like station wagons. This is my first Cadillac. My wife and I are very pleased with the product. It is comfortable more than any wagon I have had previously. It has plenty of spare power and handles easily. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone interested in a superior vehicle.

  SRXisSensational - 2005 Cadillac SRX

  Acquired this V6-SRX-RWD in June for my wife. Im "breaking it in" for her; But, truth be told,I cant part with it. The 5-speed auto SNAPs off the shifts with precision if I need to get on it. The V6s variable valve timing pumps torque right out of the chute and hits 255 ft/lbs around 2800RPM. Feels like my Mustang-GT. And it can run nicely on regular gas. Build quality is excellent! Seams are all in alignment: no gaps. Excellent seats and power adjustments. Stock stereo rocks. Handling and ride really surprised me. Much better than any GM product Ive been around. European feel. Only 3800 miles so far but only one problem. Cadillac has a software bug: the two trip meters zero out

  First time truck owner - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By HB Gourley - October 30 - 12:02 pm

  I picked up my new 07 SRX on 10/28/06 and it is a very nice ride. I ordered one with the 5.1 surround sound and DVD player. The ride is controlled and very quiet with power to spare. The 6-speed automatic transmission seems to be better on gas than my 06 XLR with same 320 horses and the five speed automatic.

  Great Handling! Great Ride! - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Rick t. - October 29 - 1:08 am

  The more we drive this Cadillac, the more we like it. It really handles well. I cant stress this enough. It is a tight, nimble vehicle. Its acceleration is very acceptable for a V6. The huge sunroof is enjoyable and we find ourselves using it almost all the time. It is easy to park and not as bulky feeling like full size SUVs. Its gas mileage has been 22-23 mpg highway and 16 around town. We do drive fast and live in a hilly area of So Cal.

  Psychological lift at the end of the day - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Young at Heart - October 28 - 9:20 am

  This car is so fun to drive: it erases the memory of minor setbacks during the work day. My choice has satisfied my objectives of getting a fun to drive, cool, unique, AWD vehicle with heated seats. This car is easy to maintain and safe. To think I might have settled for a less inspired Japanese crossover. Thanks Cadillac!
