Spying: Cadillac XT5

By William Maley

  • We have the latest on the SRX replacement

Its been a few months since we heard anything about the upcoming Cadillac XT5, the replacement for the SRX crossover. But the folks at Automobile Magazine got their hands on some new spy shots of the XT5 undergoing cold weather testing.

As we have previously reported, the XT5 will utilize the upcoming C1XX - Chi platform. Judging from the new spy shots, it looks like the XT5 will keep the slanted grille, but it looks like it will get stacked LED lights. It also appears XT5's profile will become somewhat shorter, but grow in terms of interior space.

Powertrains are expected to be the 2.0L turbo-four and 3.6L V6, while front and all-wheel drive will handle getting that power to the road.

Its likely we'll see the XT5 debut sometime late in the year.

    Interesting, look far more boxy than the SRX and I do not see how they say it has stacked LED headlamps, you can barely see them.

    I think its more of an assumption on Automobile Magazine's part considering the Escalade has it.

    I'd make it AWD only (leave the FWD models to other brands).

    Agree, leave the FWD appliance to Acura and others. Stay AWD only.
