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.

  With the new spring package, they have redesigned the SRX into one of the most pratical and enjoyable 6 cylinder autos Ive ever driven. The SRX is spunky, fun to drive and great handling. Consider this a rave review.

  Slik meets Corporate world - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By drinks2u - January 15 - 5:43 pm

  This is the most comfortable and economic car in the luxury class. I am a petite woman and find the ride appealing. I am in my mid-20s; Cadillac has always appealed to the older generation but has now appealed to the Generation X clan!! Thanks and I would recommend this car to anyone who can afford this price range!!!!!

  Caddys Back ! - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By cjcoolcar - January 6 - 2:00 am

  Cool new caddy is perfect size. Handles and rides like the best out there. Former X5 owner (4.4), the SRX beats it in every category and the huge sun roof is really cool. Voice GPS is better than my 2003 SL55. Magnetic ride works better than the Benz.

  Fun with Problems - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By JPFCO - January 1 - 1:57 pm

  The Cadillac SRX is a good fit for our family of four. It handles and performs well, but the 4-wheel drive is a bit noisy. I had purchased this SRX for the 3rd row seat, performance, safety and driving comfort. My vehicle has had numerous problems. The most significant failure was with the power steering, but the most anoying problems are the numerous electrical issues that includes frequent cases of the battery being dead, 4 to date. Out of 5 months, my SRX has been in the shop about 20 days. Cadillac parts distribution and supply for our area is inadequate. The dealer has had to strip other SRXs for parts.

  SRX V6 BY LEAHY - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By ROBERT T. LEAHY - December 22 - 6:02 am

  THIS SRX HANDLES LIKE A FINE CAR,BUT IS HIGH ENOUGH ABOVE TRAFFIC TO ENABLE DEFENSIVE DRIVING,WHICH IS IMPORTANT IN FLORIDA. THE V6 IS RESPONSIVE AND THE BRAKING IS SECOND TO NONE. I RECEIVE COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THE GOOD LOOKS OF THIS DARK BLUE BEAUTY ON A DAILY BASIS.

  LOVE THAT SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By cadillacjeff - December 7 - 7:00 pm

  A blast to drive. Great seats and sound system. More electronic features than I will ever use. Eights acceleration is breathtaking! Quiet, comfortable, safe, and stable in all weather.

  SRX Pleasant Surprise - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By SRX guy - November 23 - 6:58 pm

  Job change so I lost a company minivan (we have enjoyed a company car for 15 years) so it takes some getting used forking over $35,000. You do not appreciate the perk until it is gone! We drove all the minivans (some more than once) and decided to give the SRX a spin based on Edmunds readers making it a consumers most wanted. We are glad we did! More comfortable and stylish and way more fun to drive (I drove a 2005 Cadillac STS recently and when I climbed back into my SRX, I was just as comfortable and sitting higher in the saddle to boot). Lots of power, comfort and a cool TV/DVD player added as an aftermarket make long trips fun for the kids.
