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.

  Great Drive and Performance...But - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By J.Dillon - May 6 - 8:16 pm

  Many areas of concern. Navigation/Radio/Dic system is a mess. Poor lighting-impossible to control. No compass. Clock-temperature characters are too small. Needs to be completely redsigned. Cant program so that doors wont lock when in gear. Very dangerous. Front seats are very hard and uncomfortable. My passengers share this view. Cant open back window which is a design flaw. Rear hatch door is heavy. Should be able to "pop" it open. Would like to have true keyless entry like Ford products with combination numbers on exterior of car. Car drives and handles very well. If GM fixes the above issues I will trade for another. If not, I will trade for a Ford product this fall.

  15 months and still Loving It - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Tom - May 6 - 1:05 am

  Weve owned our 6-cyl. AWD SRX for 15 months now and absolutely love it. The look and design are real head turners, and the ride and performance are awesome. Some minor glitches had to be fixed inthe first year (software recalls), but mechanically the vehicle has been wonderful, fit and finsh excellent. Best features are the superior ride, tight handling and great ultraview sun roof. Basically its my wifes car, but I love getting to drive it on the weekends.

  By bbiigg - May 4 - 10:00 am

  Great no problems and Im 65". Handles well, accelerates smooth, quite ride...but upper dash board material could have been of better quality, needs more wood trim on doors, too much plastic on exterior.....But I love it.

  Best in Class - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Bill - May 3 - 5:35 pm

  After comparing the SRX, Acura MDX, Lexus RX 330 and Volvo XC90, we chose the SRX. The interior comfort, ride and handling are outstanding. The second row is the most comfortable available. The engine and drivetrain are outstanding. The Luxury package with it multiple memory personalization settings is great. The Ultraview sunroof is the only way to go. The third row is small but our kids dont mind.

  SRX review - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By herproudmom - April 28 - 12:31 am

  This vehicle is very comfortable while sporty at the same time. The third row seat and DVD system rocks as my little girl so frequently says. The traction control and stability system is great. I really cant say anything bad....

  New Cadillac SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By del rae - April 27 - 11:41 pm

  The wife and I love this truck. The only thing we think they could have do better on the door interior door panels should have a leather trim or some thing we looked at a inf and a Lexus but not happy with the lack of power. I drive a 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 1/2 ton hemi and love it as you can see the wife likes power.

  My SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By njfla - April 21 - 5:56 pm

  A great vehicle to drive, holds the road well, comfortable, plenty of room for 5 adults, a dog, gifts, 2 suitcases and a ham to travel 300 miles on Christmas. Mileage 23 MPG highway, 16 and a half around town. Not bad!

  SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Ray Prokorym - April 21 - 1:21 pm

  Great all around vehicle. Super performance in the wet conditions of the Pacific NW. All wheel drive is able to effectively utilize the 320 HP. Handles and stops excellent. Great utility and use of space, excellent visibility out for rear seat passengers including third row kids seat. Makes the vehicle seem more roomy.

  Good vehicle - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Frank McElveen - April 14 - 11:32 pm

  Good SUV, comparable to my wifes Lexus Rx300. More power, less engine noise, better handling, even more quiet. The additional woodgrain package is a must for appearance...makes it look $1,000 better. Needs the same addition that was placed on the Lexus. A bummper cover in the rear to keep marks off of the top of the bumper. Very good vehicle so far, 2,500 miles.
