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.

  Worth the Wait - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By steve - February 1 - 7:12 pm

  I ordered my 06 SRX in May. It was built at the end of July, got lost four two months and arrived at dealer in October. Mine has the cashmere interior running all the way to instrument panel and top pad / dashboard. The dashboard and instrument panel are a darker cashmere, but this is so much better than black or gray which Cadillac has forced on us over the past 10 yrs. There is no glare on lighter dashboards. Also, lets have some interior colors. This is my wife"s SUV and we both love it. It is very well built and stylish in and out. The infared looks sharp. Only complaint is the wiper stalk on right side of steering colum sticks out too far and is easily hit when your moving hand from center stalk to the steering wheel.

  Great Ride - 2006 Cadillac SRX
  By Matthew Begovich - January 29 - 7:07 pm

  I purchased a new "white diamond" SRX. I appreciate the thinner rocker sills, and the power hatch lift. This vehicle has more power and smoothness than I had expected from its 6-cyl. engine. The 5-speed automatic transmission is great. Mine is 6 weeks old and so far I have not had any problems.

  Never Thought I Would Love a Caddy! - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By LPC - January 25 - 2:15 am

  I had just about given up on American cars until I found the Cadillac SRX. Being a picky person with many ideal features I never thought I would find the perfect vehicle. I wanted performance, luxury, and utility plus 7 seats to tote around kids and their friends. Living in a hilly NY area, I needed AWD too. Until the SRX, this combination just did not exist. I was a little weary about American cars, I decided to test drive it and fell in love. The power is just unbelievable and the quality is top notch. It feels so solid compared to our Volvo S60 - they are not in the same league at all. I drive it hard and it responds. I just have a blast and there is plenty of luxury to boot. It handles like a sports sedan.

  Poor Drivers Seat Design - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Lester Butler - January 17 - 1:18 pm

  My wife has experienced a leg cramp problem when driving our Cadillac SRX for more than one hour. Recently, we went to view the 2006 SRX to look for some kind of improved seat design and saw no change. The salesperson even told us that someone just last week had to return a 2006 SRX with only 1,500 miles because of the same problem. We will not be buying a new SRX as our next car.

  Great Family Vehicle - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Jason - January 5 - 6:06 pm

  We love the Cadillac SRX. The sunroof is amazing, dont buy one without it. It drives like a car, but offers most of the convienances of an SUV. The third row seat is great for people that only use it on occassion and the stadium style seating makes the kids feel part of the action vs. being seclueded behind the second row. Still, the thrid row seat is only made for kids. Its gas mileage is acceptable, not as bad as an SUV, but not as good as many cars. The styling is awesome. It is what sets the vehicle apart from others and always turns heads. It has a great stereo, easy to use navigation system and a very quite ride. I have no major compliants. The wide door jams are a bit odd and take some getting use to.

  I love my SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Ruth Donley - January 3 - 2:10 pm

  This is the fifth Cadillac Ive owned and the first SUV. I love the size and the easy handling of this SUV and will never buy a sedan again. It is so much fun and at age 67 I feel like a kid again when I drive it. I can honestly say its the best vehicle Ive ever owned not only from a practical and useful standpoint but it looks great. When I first bought it so many stopped and asked about it and said it looked great. I love my SRX.

  Cadillacs best yet - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Robert Hofmann - December 29 - 12:23 am

  This is my 16th Cadillac and I love it. It handles well, rides well. Holds the road great. Quieter than I expected it to be. Plenty of power to over take most vehicles on the road.

  2005 Cadillac SRX AWD V8 - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Mike - December 21 - 5:54 pm

  The 2005 Cadillac SRX has excellent handling and is very quick and very stable in all driving conditions. The cabin is very comfortable, we have a 62" son who can sit comfortably in the back seat. We enjoy the sunroof a lot.

  I wish I could be as enthusiastic... - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By I like cars - December 19 - 11:12 am

  The SRX is good, but many things about it bother me. With no magnetic ride control and standard tires, there is something weird in the handling. Bumps and uneven pavement throw it slightly off line requiring steering correction. The steering is heavy and dead feeling with AWD. For tall guys, the steering wheel is too far away. We have squeaks and rattles. Normal aceleration falls flat at 40 mph when it shifts into 4th gear, requiring you to add more throttle, a nuisance. The engine sounds more like an appliance than a car.

  2004 Cadillac SRX - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Richard Hart - December 18 - 5:02 pm

  I had a 1999 Mercury SUV that had been in a bad accident. The Cadillac dealer was right next to the Mercury dealer so I told my wife, "lets check out the SRX." We checked out the dealership and this SRX was in the showroom, the exact color I like. I test drove it and bought it the same night. I never looked at another car. Its been great. It has a good ride, good gas milage, and Ive never had a problem with it. I would reccommend it to anyone looking for that kind of vehicle.
