2024 Cadillac Xt5 Review and Specs

Starting at $45,290

Cost and Selection of Items for Purchase

The best value is offered by the mid-level Premium Luxury model. The list of features that cut includes wireless charging, Bluetooth, a hands-free liftgate, leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and ventilated front seats. Although the four-cylinder has somewhat greater torque, the optional V-6 seems more in keeping with the XT5's laid-back vibe and offers more horsepower. If you'd like, all-wheel drive is available for an extra $2,000.

Performance, Engine, and Transmission

The XT5's base turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 235 horsepower, while the optional V-6 engine can provide 310 horsepower. It can't compete with rivals that focus on performance, like the 340-hp Porsche Macan S, with either engine. But when compared against less aggressive vehicles like the Lexus RX350 and the Volvo XC60, the Caddy performs better. We've found the Cadillac V-6 to be remarkably quiet and well-isolated from the cabin in light-footed, daily use. But when you apply a lot of throttle, the larger engine has an unpleasant noise. If you come upon a winding road, the XT5 can handle it with assurance; nonetheless, even with the optional adaptive suspension, it won't raise the hairs on the back of your neck.

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

Although there is enough room for passengers, the accommodations aren't as luxurious as they ought to be in a contemporary Cadillac. When analyzed separately, the materials utilized in the XT5's cabin seem high-end, yet when taken as a whole, the design seems disjointed. The driving posture is comfortable, and the interior arrangement is nice. The XT5 is particularly good in the practicality department. This Caddy is a cargo king because to its above-average storage capacity, several cubbies for storing little stuff, and an easy-to-fold back seat. Ten outstanding carry-on luggage fit in the XT5's cargo hold when the rear seat was in position. We could accommodate 24 carry-ons when folded.

Connectivity and Entertainment

With standard features including an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, all XT5 models are well-connected straight out of the box. Voice recognition and a rotary controller are two of the user-friendly features available on the CUE infotainment system. For Premium Luxury and Sport variants, a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system and embedded navigation are also standard. Conveniently placed around the interior are four USB outlets for charging mobile devices, and there is a wireless inductive phone charging pad accessible between the two front seats.
