Because the vehicle is a large SUV the gas mileage isn't great.
I love the smooth ride, luxury features. I do not like the gas mileage. I love the leather seats and the roomy inside cabin. There is room in the rear for my two dogs which is also a perk.
accountCircle Cathy T
Has all of the features I wanted. Very comfortable for traveling. Attractive.
Worth the price. More affordable than you might assume.

The cameras are my favorite feature.
The car is really reliable. Came with free service for the first three years. The radio screen cracked with the heat but was replaced for free by Cadillac. I enjoy the car but the newer version with the third row option is a better choice for my growing family. The car is comfortable and I have had no issues other than the radio.
accountCircle Robin H
It's a safe car and low maintenance car.
Love the comfort, smooth ride, gas mileage good, very reliable. Love the heated steering wheel, the room in the SUV, the keyless entry, and the button to close the trunk.

This is a luxury car that is also a great family car this is a great choice.
Driving the Cadillac srx is like an escape from the day to day life stress. It provides a smooth ride with comfortable seating. The navigation system makes it easy to get from one place to another without getting lost.
accountCircle Duane D
Smart styling, good visibility from the driver's seat. Minor blind spot to the left and right. Something you have to get used to.
Reasonable gas mileage. Very good ride quality. Trouble free. Good dealer and service department.

The xts is a good value among luxury large cars.
The xts’ base v6 engine has sufficient pep, but some classmates offer quicker base models. The vsport trims feature a twin-turbocharged v6 that gives the xts a boost in acceleration and passing power. A six-speed automatic transmission comes standard with both engines. Fuel economy is middling for the class, at 16-18 mpg in the city and 24-28 mpg on the highway. The xts prioritizes a serene ride over sharp handling, yet it feels nimbler than most cars its size. Front-wheel drive comes standard. The available all-wheel-drive system features torque vectoring and a limited-slip differential, which both improve traction on slippery roads. The xts’ sumptuous cabin showcases standard leather seats, which are power-adjustable up front. Some used models have heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a rear power sunshade, and a heated steering wheel. The xts has comfortable seating both fore and aft, but taking sharp turns quickly reveals the lack of lateral support. The rear seats are particularly roomy. They feature two complete sets of latch car-seat connectors on the outboard seats and a tether-only connection on the middle seat. Standard amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, and a Wi-Fi hot spot. The standard cue infotainment system has dazzling graphics, but its overly sensitive touch buttons and complicated menus distract from its beauty. Available features include a rear-seat entertainment system, navigation, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a 14-speaker Bose surround sound system. I love it.

The Cadillac SRX is an SUV.
The screen and touch tone buttons quit working right after the warranty went out. The screen then starting cracking and has 'spiderwebbed' throughout. When the headlights are on they don't even look like they are. The shape of the vehicle make it very difficult for people to get in and out. The backseat is very small and very uncomfortable with a car seat. I will never have a Cadillac SRX ever again and I will advise others not to purchase either.

Run! Do Not Buy!
The 2015 Cadillac is nothing but a hot mess!! I've dealt with headlights so dim I could not see to drive at night. After four tries, Cadillac Service finally figured out a fix. There were transmission issues: the car would hesitate when giving it the gas from a stopped or slowed position to the point it jerked you back in your seat. The battery completely died at 30,000 miles. The lift gate motor died at 32,000 miles because water from the sunroof drainage tubes literally soaked the motor, ($1800 fix). So, take my advice and just run as far away from this car as you can.

Transmission
The transmission has been a problem since I bought it . But the dealer keeps saying there is nothing wrong. The head light do not work properly, you can not see in front of you when your driving. And the back hatch has already been replaced and so has the touch screen and the bubbling in the paint . I do love the ride , but the dealers do not stand behind the vehicle. Not impressed
accountCircle Bella P
Cadillac - very disappointing.
Performance issues, constant recalls, drive train is horrible. The tires constantly spin out and I have had it serviced many time. Eco mode causes chugging, memory mode for seats reprograms itself. The car has been constant issues since the time it was purchased.
accountCircle Dominic C
The amazing Cadillac srx 2015.
At this time this has been a great vehicle, we haven't had any problems. The car has great handles and ok gas mileage. I would recommend this vehicle to anybody looking for a smaller SUV. This SUV is not equipped for more than 4 passengers. Not a lot of cargo room.
accountCircle Ralph G
Why I love my Cadillac srx.
Performs great and never let me down. Stays clean. Interior looks amazing even for a base model. Exterior is smooth and beautifully painted. Sunroof is a nice bonus for summertime. Tech features make playing music or getting directions easy. 10/10 would buy it again.
accountCircle Melissa M
It has a hiding spot behind the radio.
I had an Acura to before this and prefer it to the Cadillac. I've had it 2 years and still never sure about the wipers, the cue system had to be replaced, just more issues than expected.
accountCircle Monica T
Many blind spots and very poor quality of leather used.
I like all the new features, keyless lock and unlock, keyless start. I can start it from inside the house, so it can cool down. I like the backup camera. I don't like all the blind spots and the leather is very cheap.

This car kept us alive!
We were broadsided on the highway going 55 miles an hour. After spinning, and rolling down the embankment, landing on our side, we managed to live. The State Trooper said God was on our side, I agree, We purchased the vehicle 1-1/2 months prior to the accident... So we also attribute it to divine intervention.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Juliette W.

Whether you are driving or a passenger in the car, the seats are very comfortable. There is a lot of room in the back-seat and in the trunk for storage. The gas mileage is pretty good, I have about a ten minute commute to work and I am only filling up my tank once every two weeks unless I go traveling somewhere. The car operates well in bad weather as long as the roads are not extremely terrible.

likeFilled Debra H.

It is the luxury edition, so the ride is smooth and it has all the bells and whistles. It has GPS, backup camera, heated and cooled seats. The rear compartment is just the right size for my two dogs.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Juliette W.

If you are in a vehicular accident, the car does not protect the driver or passenger very well, the outside of the car is quick to be affected. The windshield cracks very easily. The speaker system in the car was quick to break, only about half of the bass works after using the car for three years.

dislikeFilled Debra H.

The luxury edition has a sunroof so I don't enjoy the direct sunlight in my face while driving. It has a cover, but it's very noisy to have it open and the cover closed. The driver's seat height can be adjusted but it no longer works.

Is The 2015 Cadillac SRX A Good Value?

I think we paid about $50,000 for it. That is expensive but it was a much nicer car than any of the other similar SUVs I test drove.
Mary M.
I buy mine used at around $26,000. I am not sure of what the new cost is. For the used value, I think it is an okay value for a premium luxury car.
Cindy B.
Approx 32,000. It is a good value for the money considering gas mileage, dependability, electronics on board, and comfort.
Hillary B.
40,000 with the finance already. For a Cadillac I think it is but will dee how it goes in a few more months
Melanie M.
No, this vehicle is more expensive than its worth. I'm ready to get rid of it, but I'll end up losing lots money when I sell or trade in.
Danielle S.
We got a good deal on our Cadillac. We purchased it in New Orleans for around $18. It is of great value!
Sam P.
The 2015 Cadillac was 15,000 when I got it in 2013. It was in good value for years and now it too much to keep up with all the fixing and gas money is crazy on those cars.
