Title: awesome vehicle. The 360 degree cameras / head up display are the wow.

My xt5 is front wheel drive. Only has 5,000 miles on it, no warranty issues / maintenance issues to date. Ride / seats are very comfortable, quiet, and is bar none, the best SUV I have ever owned / ridden in. Roomy interior, decent gas mileage and my dog loves riding in it on the back seat.

Color of interior and exterior

We love the garnet red (very dark) exterior with the polo brown interior. All the features of the Sport are fantastic. Especially the heads up display. I also drive a Corvette with heads up display. Anyone know what the 400 represents on right rear hatch?

The smoothest and nicest drive yet!

The only issues I have with this car is that it runs out of gas very quickly. After 2-3 days the car is needed to be refilled. Everything else is amazing and it is such a nice and clean drive. This is an amazing car and I would totally recommend it to anyone who asked me!

It vibrates the seat to get your attention when you get too close to something.

No problems. I leased this vehicle, and I love everything about it. Its luxurious and has all the features one would expect from a luxurious car. It has a built in GPS, OnStar, Sirius XM radio that work really well and are super helpful. The car drives amazing and has so many safety features.

Joe S

Perfection at it is best all over.

Has great performance with great features and an awesome ride. I recommend it very highly. I do not have a problem selecting this car again in the future. I am leasing right now and I do not have any problem leasing it again. The car has a beautiful style which bring out the look and the perfection of a Cadillac.

DJ O

My car as seen by an enthusiastic senior.

I have no problems with this car. It runs well. Is comfortable and reliable. It looks good and drives well. It has good safety features, info system is complicated and not so user-friendly. Otherwise, I am quite satisfied. With this vehicle. Gas mileage is but not great.

Jerry O

Move over, I am coming thru.

No problems. Drives well. Great safety features. Some features are a bit complicated (adaptive cruise control, parking assist, android play). Overall, I like the car. Very comfortable. A pleasure to drive. Backup camera dimming after leaving garage is not ideal.

No Bang for Your Buck

Purchased 2020 premium Luxury, V6, Bose 14 speaker, CUE with navigation. 52,700 . Would lose 12 to 15,000 if I traded it in. Have 327 miles on it. I like: The exterior color - satin steel The quiet doors closing with lighted handles The power lift gate The roomy feel The Ultra View roof I don't like: Auto stop Jerkey stops No front. Or side cameras Interior plastic smell Real wood looks fake black and grey Cheap leather seats Poor gas mileage Unattractive instrument panel AND For this amount you get no aux port, no CD player, no Monroney sticker, lies from salesperson and dealership, 75 PERCENT OIL LIFE AT 300 MILES, NO SUPPORT FROM G M CORPORATION, No Emergency Road tools as indicated on the build sheet, no light pipes on doors and console as indicated....what a disappointment. THIS IS A CHEAP CHEVY WITH A CADILLAC LOGO.

Disappointing

Very disappointed in the climate control. Either too hot or too cold. Shifter is temperamental. Mirrors have to be manually turned in when parking. Lots more faults.

Don B

Quality concern

I bought a 2020 loaded premium luxury just prior to the COVID 19 lock down. I have barely had time on the road to really get a feel for it. I am already wondering if I made a mistake. With less than 800 miles on the car the front passenger spring and strut twisted somehow. It has been in the dealership for 3 weeks waiting on parts. I had a 2015 SRX which was a great vehicle, so I am greatly disappointed in the XT5 so far

Pros from Owners

Marissa M.

It is a great car overall and it has some great features included with this car. It has a nice exterior design, while the interior has definitely been updated and it very stylish now. It has a lot of room and the seats are very comfortable.

Cons from Owners

Marissa M.

Sometimes the cargo space can become very cramped. While the engine is great on this car, the gas mileage is not the best. I have not been impressed with this car at all. The tires on this car did not last long at all.
