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.

  A good fit - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Ike73 - February 18 - 10:00 am

  I had researched this vehicle for quite sometime. It proved me wrong once behind the wheel. At first I didnt quite like the exterior look for the price but onced behind the wheel that kind of went out the window. The ride over ruff terrain could be alittle smoother but it may be better with the magnetic ride control. As far as the performance and being a Cadillac you just cant beat it.

  I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE STYLING, PERFORMANCE, AND ALL AROUND NICE VEHICLE THAT THIS IS. HAVING BEEN A PAST CADILLACE OWNER, THIS ONE IMPRFESSED ME MORE THAN THE OTHERS. IT REPRESENTS A HUGE LEAP FORWARD FOR AMERICAN AUTOO MAKERS.

  Love at first drive - 2005 Cadillac SRX
  By M - January 1 - 1:23 am

  I test drove, test drove, and test drove. I drive for work every day, so I wanted to be prepared for the purchase. I also have 4 kids, so I needed at least 6 seats. I looked at every Nissan Minivan & SUV + the Infiniti, Toyota, Mazda, Chrysler, Ford, etc. I wanted at least a V6, 4WD-AWD, 6+ seats, leather interior. This easily brought me into the $30k+ ballpark. I took my first test drive in the SRX right after it was released (V8, etc) and as soon as I nailed it coming off a ramp onto the highway, I was hooked. I also tote folks around for work, so the HUGE back seat was great. Not minivan cavernous, but definitely SUV huge. Youll love it from your first drive.

  Amazing Vehicle - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By New SRX Man - October 7 - 10:00 am

  I did a great deal of research on high- tech SUVs and crossovers, but kept coming back to the SRX. There is nothing out there that can beat the combination of comfort, handling, utility and technology that this thing has. I am now a believer in the "Cadillac ride" mystique - there is really something to it. V6 engine has plenty of power - V8 not necessary. Cadillac has earned its place as a player against the expensive European makes known for quality. This is a great car.

  balanced utility and performance - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By bmchenry - August 30 - 2:00 am

  As empty nesters it just what we were looking for in design and function. Room for the yellow lab and the skis, a more than adequate level of performance, and a pragmatic and efficient use of space. We wanted the third seat option yet did not want to move up a class size.

  2004 SRX - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By georgegellert - April 24 - 2:00 am

  Researched for three months. Looked at MDX, GX 470, XC90. All of them excellent cars. Needed three rows of seats for four children. Two smallest are 2 and 1 year old, third row is plenty and second row slides forward if needed later. The SRX has a very unique and sharp look. I am glad to drive american after 12 years of european (BMW,VW). The quality, the feel, the luxury is impressive.I got exactly what I wanted, I could not be more satisfied, if I had to do it again, I would do the same. Some expert reviews questioned some of the interior materials qualities. I did not find any problems or issues.

  Uncomfortable ! - 2016 Cadillac SRX
  By mad at caddy - March 14 - 5:27 pm

  Do not buy this car if you want to have a comfortable ride! The front seats are terrible! For 50k I expect much more. I had a lincoln mkt prior to purchasing this car and boy do i hate that i ever swirtched back to a cadillac. The seats are hard and the positions of the head rests are a pain in the you know what. Im 57" woman that likes to sit with a straight back. I dont want my head pushed forward. From 2007 to 2010 i had a cadillac cts and i loved that car. It was fast, smooth and comfortable! Switched to a lincoln and i truly loved driving my mkt. I decided to downsize and switch back to caddy. Its a nice looking car however i loathe driving it because im terribly uncomfortable. I wished i had just paid the extra money and stayed with lincoln and got a mkx. Cadillac MAKE YOUR SEATS LIKE LINCOLNS OR BETTER! I am looking to sell my srx asap and get back into a LINCOLN!!!!!
