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.

  Two Rears Driving the Cadillac SRX - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Anderson - July 24 - 6:01 pm

  The Cadillac SRX is a great open road vehicle. It gets 26 MPG on long trips. Its city gas mileage is not so good though at around 16 MPG. This truck is fun to drive, has great power for a V6, and has excellent styling. Its negatives are the unconfortable back seat (too stiff and upright), the V6 is noisy when accelerating, the information center controls are difficult to operate, the very wide door sills makes graceful entry difficult for women and puts dirt on mens slack bottoms, there is no adjustment for the shoulder belt height (where it contacts the neck), and no power opener for the rear hatch. Also, mine has some door rattles at 35,000 miles. I would still buy/lease another SRX, but with a V8.

  Great Road Trip Car... - 2007 Cadillac SRX
  By Ko Venlo - July 24 - 12:05 pm

  The 2007 Cadillac SRX is a great car. It is fun to drive, with its good acceleration and handling. Its interior is nice for a family since it has leather on the seat areas and stronger materials on the doors. The basic stereo is all we need and it sounds awesome.

  Great Ride - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Gary - July 24 - 11:45 am

  My 2005 Cadillac SRX is the best vehicle I have ever owned! No other Crossover SUV is even close to the ride and comfort of my Cadillac SRX. I test drove the BMW and Benz before buying my SRX and the SRX is head and shoulders above the other two. Believe it or not this is the first American car that I have ever owned! Great job by Cadillac with this vehicle.

  Love it - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Judy Schilg - July 21 - 2:00 am

  I have had SUVs for the past 10 years. 2 chey blazers and my last one was an Envoy. My husband also had a Navigator a few years back. I was tired of the truck-like feel of the Blazer and I loved the Envoy. Thinking now that I wanted a car, I hated to give up the space of an SUV but I wanted more luxury and driving comfort and feel... Well the SRX does it all. It is sporty, comfortable, classy and has all the perks-- fully loaded!

  Like Nothing else - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By J in Texas - July 21 - 2:00 am

  There are other vehicles that play in this niche, the SRX takes the best of all. It handles like the Germans, rides comfortable like the Japanese and goes like heck without punishing the occupants. The looks may me a love it or hate type of thing for many, it definitely stands out in the crowd. This may be the best domestic vehicle in quite a while and one that holds its head up high in any crowd.

  Love my Cadillac SRX - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Brenda and Bryan - July 20 - 5:01 pm

  I love our 2006 Caillac SRX. Its comfortable and reliable. Its very stylish exterior is awsome. The V6 sure has a lot of get up and go when you need it. It is easy to park and handles great. There is plenty of leg room both in the front and the second row. The third seat is great, but only fits children. The thrid seat folds flat and when its down there is plenty of cargo space even for my LARGE stroller. The Ultraview is a MUST!! It is amazinly large and doesnt create a lot of noise like most sunroofs. You cant beat Cadillacs warranty!

  Nice Ride - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Bill Foo - July 11 - 2:05 pm

  I traded in a 2004 Infiniti FX35 for a Cadillac SRX because my wife found the ride on the FX to be too harsh and the cargo space lacking. The SRX rides as one would expect a Cadillac -- very smooth and soft, yet the handling is quite acceptable. Oddly enough the FX had better gas mileage. On a round trip from Long Island, NY to Allentown, PA I achieved 18 MPG on the SRX averaging 70-80 mph. Similar conditions with the FX yielded 21 MPG. The last time I owned an American car was in 1982. Ive gone foreign ever since. GM has done something nice here to win me back. Overall Im very pleased with the purchase, but wish the acceleration to be slightly better perhaps I should have gotten the V8.
