With luxury crossovers dominating the US market, Cadillac replaces its best-selling SRX with a new name, platform, and interior. While the look may seem familiar, those shopping for a midsize SUV will find plenty to like with the 2017 XT5.

I don't understand car reviewers. Why do they test all cars like they're testing a sports car. Is sportiness a must for SUV's? Shouldn't they focus more on comfort and smoothness more than sportiness when reviewing SUV's? It would be silly for buyers to look into SUV's when they are looking for a car to take to the drag race. I don't get it.

So right, And who died and dubbed Europeans as the best car makers; Here in the states we don't drive 110mph on our freeways all the time. Luxury is about comfort and feel, not a hard ass firm ride like BMW and MERC. Lexus is by far more in touch with Luxury than those guys are, Cadillac knows what are butts want.

I disagree...I love Caddys and the SRX finally received an upgrade that looks polished and says luxury. My favorite thing on the car is the video review mirrors. I'm shock that Tesla don't offer this on their vehicles.
I was in one of these and when it comes to 2 row vehicles I really think that this is the ultimate family car.
I really like your reviews. Very professional, very thorough. Thank you.
These things are awesome to ride in. Probably one of the nicest vehicles if ever ridden in
I am a Cadillac salesman and I am going to correct something, in the XT5 when in touring mode, it is only front wheel drive, it NEVER sends power to the rear wheels until you press the mode button and put it into all wheel drive mode or sport mode. Thank tou

Ok, I have a Q, why is it when I get my XT5 up to about 55-65 mph, why does it feel like it hesitates? I feel when I am pressing on the gas that it can't get out of it's own way, so to speak.😁 Almost as if something is blocking fuel from getting to where it needs to go to make the car increase speed.🤷🏼♀️ It has a stutter to it! Not a smooth increase in speed. Sorry for the laymen's terms but🤷🏼♀️oh well. I work on teeth not cars.😁

Sofyan Bey's review is very reasonable in my opinion. Compared to what I learned from the Cadillac salesman was far less in 2+ hours than what Sofyan has related in this video in a fraction of the time. Many highly contrasted views expressed in many comments below but not so much in the way of constructive info, with a few exceptions. I just test drove a 2017 XT5 yesterday. I wanted an AWD with all the new safety amenities + comfort. The XT5 drove very well and I tend to drive fast and somewhat aggressively. The seats were comfortable & given my requirements for comfort this is a significant plus. I would have hoped that given the high pricing some features I wanted were lacking: window shades on all windows, more audible warning re safety features, heads up display (HUD), less touch screen and more "mouse-like" controls of the display, larger size display like the Genesis G80. But please note, gathering info on a particular car is related to what the salesman relates + what the customer gleans from inputs from the internet, etc. Maybe there is a HUD on the XT5 but the salesman did not relate that altho mentioned by me. Agree totally with Sofyan on points made re lack of road noise or windshield buffetting noise (latter is a major issue for me on the 3.6 Subaru Outback). Our salesman did not show us the rear view mirror & despite emphasizing the extended safety features did not have me test drive the Platinum package.
You do an excellent job reviewing! This grampa would love a twin turbo Caddy.
I actually like the gear shift design assuming how it is once I get used to it. I feel it gives a nice deterrent to going directly from reverse to drive and vice versa when we don't intend to do that
I've been driving my moms xt5 this summer and I will say, it's a really good car, especially over her srx... i do think the awd is a must as it still has too much power for it's own good in fwd. The transmission helps give it a 20+ mpg city but it could downshift sooner and more often... cue is much better but android auto is great and the wonky shifter works, but I still prefer a traditional prndl/m. Build quality is Cadillac, some gm parts bin but it really is to the point where its competitive with others.
Nice review! Never a mention of it's only domestic competitor....Lincoln MKX. Or am I wrong for thinking that Cadillac would also target a home turf rival?
Great review! Wonderful looking vehicle. Any ideas when the 2017 Jetta is going to be revealed?
Im in love w/ Cadillac :D..... this & the XTS
Great review 👍👊
Can someone explain the “regen” in the fuel economy screen of the dash cluster? Does the xt5 benefit from some form of battery regen feature?
Great review
I've gotta say the design is amazing
I like this car, I would love to try one someday.
My wife and I conducted our own market survey of both foreign and domestic Premium Crossovers SUV's. We concluded that the Cadillac XT5 Platinum was clearly for us. We bought the Cadillac XT5 Platinum and we're amazingly satisfied.

Thanks for the information
Cadillac is so close to being a tier 1 luxury brand. They've probably made the biggest strides over the last few years than any other automaker. If they add a halo sports car like an XLR successor, they will be a real player
Any feedback on issues. Transmission, engine wise? Thanks for this great video.
do they back lit cupholders, say like Dodge does, also how about the door handles, have they also got back lit lights

Great review, but when will you review the new 2016 Lincoln MKX??
Very comprehensive review.
Did this car completely do away with the side turn indicator, either on the side panel or bottom of side mirrors?
Received one as a courtesy vehicle for a day. The suspension is stiff for its class, there were rattles coming from the moonroof and door panels, the inside was louder compared to my cts. The vehicle only had less than 1000 miles on it.
can you do the 2017 ford expedition!!
Are you going to do a 2017 mazda 3 review ?
Hairy legs and Flip Flops review.....na na na na bo bo :-) Awesome review btw. Is the sunshade for the panoramic sunroof on the XT5 solid fabric or mesh fabric?
Do you plan on reviewing the 2017 GMC Acadia?
Very good review
You did show us do a review of the 2nd gen SRX in 2theRedline
The fact that the power seat buttons for the rear seats only has auto down and not up I would think is a safety concern, not cost-cutting. Why would they go so far as to have auto down but then not up?
That's a really nice interior. The wiper stalks could use some updating for sure!

Best looking midsize on the road right now.
@Sofyan As usual, excellent review! And as promised, the XT5 review from you was coming! Curious, what are your thoughts on the XT5 vs it's arch enemy,RX350? I found the XT5 to feel more premium, especially the interior. And that Lexus can't hope to match the driving experience over this Cadillac. I noticed that you brought up price. Yes, this Cadillac is pretty damn expensive! But against it's German competition, it's still cheaper, trim/options comparatively. The G3 nickel and dime you on everything! And you left out another expensive option: The Lincoln MKX w/ 2.7T. Yeah, the Lincoln does have more power, but test after test show it just .02-.04secs ahead of the far less powerful Caddy. And it too, offers a far less premium ambience, coming off with way too much Ford flair. I would skip the Platinum and go Premium.

The lexus and cadillac's thing is to be a family car not your weekend car. Plus you can't compare it to reliability as lexus has reliability on top notch with its japanese engineering (Yes the RX is partial Canadian before you ask) although with cadillac..that belongs to gm which over the years they have improved but it can't be at the level of lexus. Hey its my opinion i don't care if you disagree it's your opinion i can't argue.

Please review the 2016+ Lincoln MKX
The wife is wanting to buy a new crossover and we looked at several manufacturers offerings. Our neighbors have some BMW's and Benz's and a couple friends have Acura's and Lexus'. So, she has driven those models. The Caddy is new so, no one has this vehicle that we know. A trip to a local Caddy dealer was necessary. I have to tell you the wife was very very impressed with this crossover. She loves everything about it, the interior appointments and the exterior styling are all distinctive in her opinion. She will never touch the slider volume control so, this item that is seemingly so annoying to test drivers is not an issue. The steering wheel controls are all that will ever be used for that function. The model she test drove was an optioned out Luxury edition. This is in our opinion the sweet spot in the line up. The best bang for the buck option. So, she will get the Luxury edition next November for her birthday present. We as a rule never buy the first model year of any vehicle.
I know I'm nitpicking But shouldn't luxury cars of this price point have the turn signals on the Mirrors ??

There, a Sofyan, that 390°pan was Soo smooth. You probably didn't read my last comment on you recent pans, but if you did, please be the professional that you are and video your 360° sweeps like you did this Cady. I didn't feel seat sick for a second.
Great review - thanks! I especially appreciate the insights on interior size. I'm a big / tall person, so interior space is very important to me. In your reviews, what other SUV's in this premium / midsize category would have better interior space?
If you squint, you'll have a hard time distinguishing this from an SRX"..I doubt it. From the side or the rear, maybe, but the front is pretty radically different

Hey , this would mean a lot to me if you could review a 2016 Chrysler 200C fully loaded (they improved the transmission for 2016) and a fiat500L. I have a 500L and I'd love to hear what u think of it.
whats better this or the lexus rx, x5, gle?
Are those seats used across all Cadillacs? If so I agree with the uncomfortable feeling. I was in a CTS the other day at work and couldn't find a comfortable position
Can u review the new q30
btw, any new news about the caddy elmiraj concept? if they'd just put it into production as shown at pebble beach they'd sell every one of 'em in an instant...even with an astronomical sticker price! cadillac elmiraj and buick avista concepts would be glorious gems in their showrooms!
This still a good first SUV for me to buy one.
muy buena explicación
The best car I have ever bought in my life
The XTS is not a crossover. So how does XT stand for crossover?
nice video
I like it. It's nice
Please do mic checks and test before vids. We turn up the vid just to hear you and then scramble to turn it back down when music comes in.
I like it. Not many crossovers handle well. And it looks handsome to me. It makes less sense as you go up in the trim lines, however. A loaded one can't compete with its price-competition.
Just in case you didn't know the rear doesn't have auto up to prevent children's fingers from getting stuck

Cadillac has auto up rear windows on a number of their models. And they have had anti-pinch engineered into them. This comes across as unnecessary cost cutting.

Flip flops dude? Really... Sweet ride...
This isn't a 2017, this is a 2016. The interior that's equipped on the car you showed was updated for the 2017 model year, adding a Jet Black headliner.
Although you sufficiently described the vehicle, I think I could have done without your obvious bias against it.

It's cost cutting, all my 2004 Cadillac had auto up/down front Windows, when an object obstructed the window from being rolled all the way up, it stops, and rolls back down. Same for the sunroof and the same thing for my 2010 Buick lacrosse. Not sure why they can't just include it in the rear seats.
