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.

  Good Looking - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Mary Courim - June 24 - 9:46 am

  My 2005 Cadillac SRX is great for everyday errands and hauling people around. The seats are easy to put up and down. It is a great vehicle for a small woman like myself.

  Converted to SUVs - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By ms - June 7 - 4:26 am

  Changed from a Jeep Grand Cherokee to my 2004 Cadillac SRX and what a difference. I had never liked SUVs and now drive the SRX everywhere just for fun. It accelerates well, is great looking, and much better at braking than the Grand Cherokee was. I would recommend it to everyone.

  Out with BMW in with Caddy - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By John David Morgan - June 2 - 10:00 am

  Have had nothing short of a great experience with my SRX. Traded a 5 Series BMW and this Caddy is giving the BMW a run for the money. It rides better, handles the same, has quicker pick up, more amenities and holds more. Working in Real Estate, I have to drive a fancy car, that shows both success but is also comfortable. This SRX does it all. I would highly recomended this car to anyone!!

  The 2005 Cadillac SRX is quiet, responsive, and economical. The inside cargo space is deceiving, it provides more than adequate storage. The V6 engine makes one forget the need for a V8.

  Extras, Good and Bad - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By RobinClem - February 5 - 12:40 pm

  The 2005 Cadillac SRX is a lovely car and lots of fun to drive. Do not, however, get the third seat unless you regularly transport children. it is not good for adults, and the alternate, lots of nifty little hampers, is very welcome. Cadillac will practically give you the car if you dont want the sun roof, so think that over. (Its awesome, however, for those that like sun roofs.) After six months, I may have used the navigation system three times, all in the first two weeks. For us, OnStar is a must, and we actually used it in an emergency.

  I Love It - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Eagle - January 31 - 10:50 pm

  I had a 2003 Cadillac Escalade. My new 2005 Cadillac SRX is so fun to drive! It gets pretty darn good gas mileage, but who cares when it is so fun to drive. Getting in takes a little getting used to, because of the wide threshold. I love the Bose sound system. The wood trim is beautiful (I am not so fond of the black dash). Overall, this is one of the best vehicles that Ive owned.

  Enjoying My Wifes SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By Bill - January 22 - 2:06 pm

  I am used to peppy cars as the car that I turned in was a Cadillac STS, point being is that the 265 Hp Cadillac SRX provides me with all the pep I need. To top this off it is fueled with regular gas. It also gets good gas mileage on trips and around town. I truly enjoy driving this attention getting vehicle. Lexus and Mercedes-Benz people are always examining it wherever I drive. It is dolled up very nicely with pearl white paint and gold striping. I added a set of chrome wheels later on. The origial wheels looked almost plastic, very distasteful. However our salesman suggested we have the original ones chrome plated, well that was the iceing on the cake. Now you know why I enjoy driving my wifes SRX.
