What the Critics Say

“Even luxury crossovers should be practical, and the XT5 excels in this category. Above-average cargo space, plenty of bins for stashing smaller items, and an easy-to-fold rear seat allow this Caddy to easily transform from luxury liner to cargo king. The XT5’s cargo hold accommodated an impressive 10 carry-on cases with the rear seat in place.” – Car and Driver

“Yes, the Cadillac XT5 is a good luxury midsize SUV. It has capable powertrains, good fuel economy ratings, and decent handling. The cabin looks good, and there’s ample passenger and cargo space. The real feather in the XT5’s cap, however, is its outstanding predicted reliability rating.” – U.S. News & World Report

What’s New for 2025

Changes to the popular Cadillac XT5 are quite minor in nature for the 2025 model year. Last year’s range-topping Platinum grade has been dropped from the model lineup. This leaves three individual trim choices for 2025. In other news, the previously optional night vision system and adaptive suspension system have both been discontinued this year as well.

Cadillac XT5 Features

All-Electric Performance

You’ll have no trouble finding a Cadillac XT5 that suits your needs thanks to two individual powertrain choices. The standard option is a remarkably efficient yet potent 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine producing 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Those who crave more exhilaration can upgrade to the available 3.6L V6 engine that cranks out an impressive 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. No matter which engine you select, a sophisticated 9-speed automatic transmission delivers responsive gear changes at all speeds. Optional all-wheel drive also lets you take advantage of individual Touring, Off-Road, and Sport calibrations by using the Drive Mode Selector. For the ultimate in performance capabilities, Cadillac XT5 Sport models prominently feature a performance suspension featuring real-time chassis damping control for agile handling.

Driver-Assistive Safety

Boasting more than 20 standard or available driver-assistive technologies, the Cadillac XT5 continues to be an industry leader when it comes to safety. This suite of radar, camera, and ultrasonic sensors found on the XT5 is intended to help detect possible hazards. Examples of standard features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Front and Rear Park Assist, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Alert. Another groundbreaking feature now offered on the XT5 is Automatic Parking Assist, using specialized sensors to effortlessly guide your vehicle into a detected parking space. When equipped with the optional Driver Assist Package, you’ll always have an extra layer of protection to help you react behind the wheel of the Cadillac XT5.
