The 2022 Cadillac XT5 offers a roomy cargo area, effortless smartphone integration and relatively good value in the midsize luxury SUV segment. But it isn't a standout in any particular area and fails to match the level of luxury found in most of its contemporaries.

Found the perfect fit !

2021 Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
We test drive the Lincoln Aviator and found the engine auto off/ on very jerky and the shift controls in a very odd position. It steered bulky compared to the Cadillac xt5.
The aviator did have a little more room in the cargo area , but the rear passenger space looks and felt like and after thought .
The XT5 feels and handles like what you expect from Cadillac. The interior just blew … us away with its high end design. Controls are super friendly and the wireless connect from phone to car is fantastic! We love our XT5 luxury premium. And it comes at a a much less premium price than the aviator .
When I factor in design, cost, city and highway handling as well as the high tech safety features such as blind spot , lane check and anti collision braking and warning . Lastly let’s not forget the “ teenage driver speed control” I personally rate the XT5 a very strong 9 out of 10 !

2020 Cadillac XT5 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
This is my second XT5 from 2017 . The adaptive suspension is great and the 20 inch tires make handling very easy beautiful vehicle fully loaded. I own this 2020 six months now with no issues.

2021 Cadillac XT5 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
Be sure you know all the options you want before going to a dealer. I knew I wanted all safety options I desired and did an on-line search for the Cadillac filling that requirement. I found the model, the top of the line Xt5 that filled those requirements. It had lane alert, lane change warning, lane hold when in cruise, and both front and rear blind side alerts. I have already … experienced a warning of a vehicle approaching me from the front who had crossed the lane line. The heads-up display really amplified this warning. I am pleased with the electronic steering and braking, which is faster response than hydraulics.
Over-all enjoyable vehicle

2020 Cadillac XT5 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
This is my daily driver and it is a comfortable ride while having some sport like lateral firmness when taking turns. I have historically been a foreign car fan (my other vehicle is a 911) and this is the perfect reliable daily driver with room for the family and 22 mpg all around...
