Cadillac XT5, New for 2017 By Rob Beintema The Cadillac XT5 hasn’t wasted any time. The XT5 only arrived at Canadian dealers last spring, but it is already the best-selling vehicle in the Cadillac lineup, eclipsing everything from premium coupes and sedans to the iconic Escalade. The crossover’s five-passenger mid-size dimensions and premium appointments blend nicely to fit the bill for vehicle buyers aspiring to entrylevel luxury cachet and content.
BODY STYLE: Mid-size, five-passenger premium CUV DRIVE METHOD: All-wheel-drive & eight-speed automatic transmission ENGINE: 3.6-litre, direct injection VVT V6 (310 hp, 271 lb/ft) FUEL ECONOMY: AWD 12.9/8.9/100 km (city/hwy); as tested 11.3L/100km (comb) CARGO: 849 litres behind second row seat, 1,784 litres folded. TOW RATING: 1,588 kg (3,500 lb) PRICE: Premium Luxury MSRP $59,830. As tested $65,290 incl Driver Assist Pkg ($3,195), Tri-Zone Climate ($720), 20-inch wheels ($660), Stellar Black paint ($575) and more. Destination ($1,950) not incl.
As to styling, well, like it or lump it, let’s at least admit that Cadillac isn’t just following the herd when it comes to a uniquely cutting edge North American style and design. The XT5 name, following the new Caddy nomenclature, stands for “crossover touring”, with the “5” denoting midsize dimensions, in much
CT6’s new 310 hp 3.6-litre direct injected VVT V6 engine, an advanced unit with Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation technology that switches the V6 into a V4 mode under light loads. The engine also incorporates Start/Stop technology to reduce idling consumption and emissions. The tach needle hovers near a low 1,000 rpm around town and barely breaks a sweat past 1,500 rpm at highway speeds. The V6’s naturally aspirated power comes on honestly with regular octane fuel, accelerating with assurance and with an authoritative snarl, putting power to the wheels through a new eight-speed automatic transmission that features Cadillac’s first electronically controlled shifter. This fly-by-wire system has a new shift pattern that some fuddy-duddy reviewers have grumped about. It might be enough to put some customers out but, hey, the one constant in life is change. And although the new gear selection path takes a little getting used to, the new system efficiencies save substantial weight and allow for a new floating console design with added storage room below. Inside the cabin there are other revelations - venting changes, less gloss, less bling, more contrast-stitched leather surfaces and an overall air refinement.
the same way that BMW and Audi markings do. So, we can probably expect a compact XT3 and a threerow XT7 among the eight brand new Cadillac vehicles forecast before the end of the decade. The 2017 Cadillac XT5 replaces the SRX. While not as long or wide as the SRX, the interior space has been maximized thanks to its wheels-to-the-corners architecture. Tested here, our Premium Luxury AWD model sits near the top of the XT5 trim ladder. Under the hood, this tester, like all XT5 models, shares the 18 | Vaughan Community Guide 2017
There are actual buttons to control the HVAC and while the knob-less CUE infotainment system still requires a little too much hunting and pecking, it is a definite step up from the former system. Our Premium Luxury tester puts it all together nicely with a contrasting Sahara Beige and Black interior mix creating a serene ambiance and a pleasant refuge from daily commutes. The mid-size luxury crossover niche is a tough nut to crack, but with improved lightweight architecture, better dynamics and new interior appointments, the 2017 Cadillac XT5 offers an alternative take on sporty, luxury accommodation and premium CUV design.
