Found the perfect fit !

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 !

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.

Traded in my basic 2019 XTS for the 2021 Premium Luxury model 6 cyl awd. Much easier getting in and out of the vehicle than the XTS. I really like sitting up higher and since I’m getting older, with the 360 camera i don’t have to strain my neck to be sure there’s no obstacles around. It drives and rides just as nice as the car. I’m well pleased with it and look forward to driving it for many years. I would recommend this vehicle. The models below don’t show the 6 cyl and which is what I bought.

My first XT5

Where do I start? The Cadillac XT5 is a reasonably priced midsize SUV with plenty of tech, especially in the technology package. The rearview camera (mirror) was the first surprise during my test drive. Everything from the adaptive cruise, parking and lane alerts to the straightforward phone integrations puts me at ease. I feel connected to my XT5 and my surroundings! Though storage for small items is lacking, especially in the driver and passenger space, I find that my XT5 offers ample headroom and legroom in both the front and rear. The turbocharged 4 cylinder delivers adequate acceleration, but I recommend the V-6 unless a few extra miles make a difference to you. I like this car and will probably comment more after I've driven it for six months!

Nice mid priced luxury SUV

Handles well, plenty of power for what it's designed for (V-6). Nice layout. I bought this for a good price for a mid size luxury SUV and it has most of the safety features I was looking for. I highly recommend the V-6 rather than the 4 cylinder. You don't lose that much mileage, can use regular gas rather than the required premium in the 4 cylinder, and it has more horsepower. Options, if you can get them with all the chip shortages, and availability of models are pretty good. I found it comfortable, good visibility, and a good bargain for the price.
