The Cadillac XT5 is a powerful and comfortable luxury SUV capable of handling all the challenges the road may throw at you. Take a look at our list of its best features, and you’ll see why you should consider the XT5 when you’re in the market for a new luxury SUV.
Fierce-Looking Exterior
The Cadillac XT5 for the 2020 model year has a prominent grated grille, impressive scythe-shaped headlights, and a body style that broadcasts durability and strength. The 2020 XT5 comes in three trim levels: Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport. Exterior features include a rear lip spoiler, chrome-tipped exhaust, optional running boards, a class II trailering kit with hitch, power remote heated power-folding side-view door mirrors with tilt down capability and turn signal indicators, metallic paint options, a roof rack with a 200-pound maximum weight, and a power liftgate.
Pair of Powerful Engine Options
The 2020 Cadillac XT5 rolls off of the line bearing one of two engines. The first is a 2.0-liter Inline-4 premium gas engine that generates 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The second is a 3.6-liter V-6 regular gas engine providing 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. Every 2020 XT5 comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and auto-manual capabilities.
The overdrive feature raises the XT5’s redline and increases fuel efficiency by increasing the possible distance covered every RPM. The auto-manual feature enables drivers to alternate between automatic and manual shifting at will, so no matter which method you’re used to, you’ll have no trouble driving your new XT5.
Impressive Performance
The Luxury and Premium Luxury trims come with your choice of front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive, and the Sport is all-wheel-drive only. With four-wheel independent multi-link suspension, driver-controlled ride control, and speed-sensing steering, the XT5 has an incredibly smooth ride for a sport utility vehicle. Both 18-inch and 20-inch wheel options are available. The Sport trim comes with a special sport suspension system, granting it greater responsiveness and an even smoother ride.
Luxurious Interior
The 2020 XT5‘s entertainment features include a pair of second-row LCD monitors, an eight-speaker sound system with premium amplifier, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, an available upgrade to a 14-speaker Bose sound system, smart device integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and voice radio activation.
The XT5’s convenience features include six USB ports, a power sunshade, a proximity key with remote keyless entry, a GPS navigation system, one-touch-down power windows, a retained accessory power system, and adaptive cruise control with steering wheel controls and advanced distance pacing.
Critical Safety Features
A set of seven occupant-sensing airbags, rear child safety locks, a security system with panic alarm and perimeter approach lights, and brake assist protect the drivers and passengers of the XT5. If your XT5 is stolen, the built-in tracker system will give the authorities the tools they need to get it back into your hands.
