2025 Cadillac XT5 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 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:

  • Safety alert seat (vibrates the driver's seat cushion when a safety warning is triggered)
  • Rear seat reminder (alerts you to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle)

Our recommended trim adds many more luxury-oriented features such as:

  • Automatic wipers
  • Power-folding and auto-dimming side mirrors
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Heated, power-adjustable steering wheel

Sport
The Sport comes standard with the V6 engine and includes all of the Premium Luxury trim's standard features plus:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Sport-tuned all-wheel-drive system
  • Sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers      
  • Upgraded front Brembo brakes with red calipers
  • Heavy-duty cooling system (improved cooling for towing)

The Sport trim can be optioned with the Bronze Accent, Red Accent or Blue Accent exterior package. Each package includes exterior trim in one of the above colors, 20-inch gloss black wheels and unique Cadillac emblems. 
 
The XT5 offers several option packages for the Premium Luxury and Sport trims. They include:

  • Technology package
    • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out of 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)
    • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
    • Rear pedestrian alert system (warns the driver if pedestrians are behind the XT5)
  • Driver Assist package (requires the Technology package)
    • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Cadillac and the car in front)
    • Upgraded automatic emergency braking (operates across a broader range of vehicle speeds and warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
    • 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
    • Seven-pin wiring harness for trailer connection
    • Heavy-duty cooling system     
    • Hitch guidance camera system
    • Upgraded alternator

Which XT5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest stepping up to the midrange Premium Luxury trim. This trim adds desirable features such as leather upholstery, a wireless charger and premium audio, and it's also eligible for more options than the base Luxury trim. In particular, the Technology and Driver Assist packages are smart upgrades that will enhance safety.
