Another Satisfied Customer - 2017 Cadillac XT5
By Ramesh M - December 26 - 6:05 pmI was not sure about this SUV initially. Did some research before buying. I never owned a Cadillac before and has always owned a Lexus. I was planning to buy a new Van/SUV for my wife as her Toyota Sienna has done 68000 miles on it. Even though the Sienna is a great van, I did not like the fact that AWD has the Run Flat Tires on them, which gives it a bumpy ride and is expensive replacing the tires as it cannot be repaired otherwise it was a great family vehicle for us. My son has been learning to drive and it was also did not look good for him as he was driving a family van. Since my Sienna was well maintained, I good a good appraisal for it, so we decided to buy new car. Initially we saw Pacifica, which my wife did not like - quality of the vehicle was in question. Then we took a test drive in Cadillac xt5, Very good ride, excellent quality overall. People talk about the Cue not being fast enough, I think the Cue is much better than the system in my 2014 MB ML350. I also noted that the xt5 does not have a CD player - which i dont mind as we never use CDs anymore, as we have learned to use USBs/SD cards. The vehicle has 2 USB port in the front console and 2 for the back seats, I would have expected Cadillac to have SD card reader installed - but not a big deal. The other issue is the cargo space, it could have been little bit bigger, the head clearance for back seat is 2 inches short when compared to Lexus RX - hope Cadillac brings an SUV with little bit more space for the back passengers and cargo. There is no other choice, either you go for xt5, or Escalade which is huge. Over all very happy. Have to wait and see how it holds up to its reputation.

Exceptional Vehicle - 2018 Cadillac XT5
By Afam Naper (pen name) - December 1 - 5:17 pmI love my XT5. I am in my mid-forties and never thought I would be so car crazy. This vehicle is perfect. Lots of tech features. Some of the things I have been pleasantly surprised by is the visibility and handling in bad weather conditions and at night. I also like the ability to switch transmission from front wheel, AWD, and sport mode. Sport mode is fun and it gives a little mid-life crisis sport car feel or at least as close as you can get when trying to be practical with a family of 5. I live in the Midwest and so deal with the four seasons. This car cruises through them all. If I had only one complaint is the start/stop feature and gas mileage - not great. I am completely used to it, but prefer it didnt have it and perhaps a bit better on gas. I looked at all the luxury models and this had the best combination of styling, technology, comfort, and overall handling. Wife loves the vehicle and the kids love the vehicle which isnt easy since all of them have their opinions and different preferences. I have been in a number of accidents unfortunately and the safety features make me feel really safe. I cannot recommend this SUV enough. I also think the styling competes and in some cases out class its foreign competitors and brings something that is uniquely American to it.

Our New XT5 - 2017 Cadillac XT5
By Bill - August 13 - 9:53 pmBought 2010 new, loved it except the 3.0 engine. Luxury model while with tan interior. Just sold that car and bought a 2017 XT5 Luxury model White with Tan interior. Engine is great with plenty of power fit and finish is perfect. I was a little disappointed that Cadillac trimmed a few options from the luxury model I purchased before like: no cd player, sill plates no longer have a light in them, there is no longer a horizontal interior dash trim light, tan interior no longer offered in tan headliner with tan carpet only in black. Front seats need a little more attention to front bottom bolsters, (need more padding). Except for the dashboard the whole interior seemed a little cheaper.. I do not like the steering wheel option of leather wrapped heated the 2010 Luxury model had a wood/leather steering wheel I liked more. I have to save the car drives great, seems to be quieter, same gas millage even though it has a bigger engine, Bose system sounds great, (I hate it has no built in cd),

Loaner car while 2015 Escalade in for service - 2017 Cadillac XT5
By Body shop car guy - July 4 - 9:12 pmEscalade in for minor overnight service, I was given a xt5 as a loaner. Not expecting any thing special I was very surprised with the vehicle. I dont drive a midsize SUV daily but found I enjoyed this experience. As a body shop owner I have the opportunity to drive most brands and found this to be one of the most engaging rides in its class. The BMW X3 , Audi and Lexus have there merits but for comfort and performance this caddy tops them all.

After Much Research - Love my XT5 - 2017 Cadillac XT5
By L. Fleury - June 6 - 12:53 pmI was on the hunt for a crossover/SUV that could serve as my work commute car (about 15 miles) with some business meetings an hour or two away while also serving as a family vehicle for travel in New England (and therefore purchased the AWD model). I love that the vehicle is a V6 with "cylinder reduction"; only using all six when needed. The AWD feature is controlled by a button and can be engaged while driving -- therefore, I do not need to use it in dry/warm conditions. The interior is beyond gorgeous and comfortable. Handling is seamless and sporty. Love, love, the vehicle - so far, so good! The XT5 is made in Spring Hill, TN - another selling point for me as I was looking for an American car. Last, but certainly not least, the car takes "regular" grade gas. A huge selling point for me.

17 Caddy XT5 - 2017 Cadillac XT5

Cadillac just added a WINNER to their bucket list. - 2017 Cadillac XT5
By Ron L. - June 24 - 1:22 pmPicked up my new XT5 this past Saturday after doing much research and test driving. I was not even aware this model was being released by GM this early. Glad I stopped and looked, drove it and got hooked. In the past 3 weeks, tested QX5, RX350, BMW X5, GLE and GLS. Im very picky when it comes to attention to detail so I tested and looked at many vehicles. This XT5 is simply amazing for the value and the money compared to the Germans and Japanese brands. I have beeb leary about American cars ever since the bailout but tried them out again. Glad I did... Without rambling, and after driving all those other vehicles, Caddy was the winner , hands down. Handling , front, side and rear view amazing, quietness, power, etc were all as good as it gets in my opinion. I am not a brand loyal person as you can see but I would recommend anyone looking in this category to give the XT5 a good look. My ONLY picky complaint in the piano black entertainment system panel. It is a fingerprint magnet. Told you I was picky. If anyone has anyone particular questions , you can always ask. I will be really anxious to see what the National Crash Tests look like once tested. So far, I am thrilled with my decision

The Right Choice - 2017 Cadillac XT5
By Don J - May 13 - 5:07 pmTest Drive the Lexus GX 460 & BMW X3 SUV and the decision will be easy. The XT5 checks all of the Boxes. Make sure you get the full wrap warranty protection, It covers anything that can happen to the vehicle, from you dogs scratching the interior or exterior, door dings, windshield nicks, replacing your rims if you hit a curb to 24/7 roadside service @ no cost, not even the loaner car.

XT5 Platinum 2017 AWD - 2018 Cadillac XT5
By Shot - May 2 - 7:12 pmMy previous SUV was a Jeep 4wd. After 3 good years the warranty was up and I wanted a sportier SUV. I was looking at the AMG GL43 and the Porsche Macan GTS. Both great vehicles, fast, but expensive. Cadillac was offering 5 years 0 percent interest. So on a whim we went to look at the XT5. We opened the door of the Platinum and my first response was OMG. The interior design, materials,fit and finishes were 5 Star. The Cadillac has a nice exterior design, is very spacious, a large tilting back seat, with lots of storage. The engine and transmission are very smooth. The front seats, instrumentation, NAV, safety features are excellent. And the ride is very smooth especially for long road trips. Yes, this SUV is not as fast or sporty as the two German SUV’s that I was considering. But the XT5 is larger, quieter, well designed and is far less expensive. I drive it in the AWD mode all the time so the handling is acceptable for an SUV. For me, the Cadillac was the way to go. I would recommend this vehicle.
