2024 Cadillac XT5 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Cadillac XT5 is a five-passenger, two-row midsize luxury SUV. The XT5 is available in Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport trim levels. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (235 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) is standard on the Luxury and Premium Luxury, while a 3.6-liter V6 (310 hp, 271 lb-ft) is optional on the Premium Luxury and standard on the Sport. Both engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard for the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims, and all-wheel drive is optional. The Sport comes equipped with AWD as standard. Here's what you get from each XT5 trim:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Sport-tuned all-wheel-drive system
  • Sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers      
  • Upgraded front Brembo brakes with red calipers

  • Technology package
    • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
    • Digital instrument panel
    • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)
    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the XT5 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

    • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Smart Towing package (requires the V6 engine)
    • Towing hitch

Which XT5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Premium Luxury trim is the way to go because it comes equipped with a lot more standard features than the base Luxury trim and offers a few optional packages that aren't available on the Luxury. The Premium Luxury also gives you the option of upgrading to the V6 engine. We recommend opting for the Technology package for its added tech features — it's also required if you want to get the luxurious Platinum package or the Driver Assist package.
