If you are looking for Escalade-level luxury in a smaller Cadillac car, then the new Cadillac XT5 is ideal for you. This compact SUV comes with a stylish exterior, a well-equipped cabin, and enough space for five adults and their luggage. It also offers a standard turbocharged four-cylinder while the V6 engine is optional. This luxury car is more affordable compared to its competitors and is also fuel efficient.

About the brand
Cadillac is an automobile brand that was founded in 1902 by Henry Leland.

This car company introduced the idea of interchangeable parts and started the mass production of automobiles. This idea later brought the brand the prestigious Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club of England. Its first passenger car was manufactured in 1910, which was the first of its kind to have an enclosed cabin. A few years later, the brand introduced the world to the V-type, water-cooled V8 eight-cylinder engine. This engine soon became a signature feature of the Cadillac brand. In 2008, the brand decided to expand the Escalade SUV by manufacturing the first-ever luxury hybrid SUV, which was also a valuable gift to the SUV segment.

Interiors and cargo
The new Cadillac XT5’s interiors have been built using high-quality materials. However, the cabin is not as sophisticated as its competitors. The interiors have been designed to give passengers enough leg room and comfort. You get adequate cargo space of 30 cubic feet with the rear seats in use and 63 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded. While the rear seats are easy to fold, however, the high liftover height can make it difficult to load large items. Nevertheless, the cabin has enough space for storing small items.

Engine and performance
The new Cadillac XT5 may not be as athletic as its competitors, but it can offer decent mileage. This comes from its turbocharged base engine and an optional V6. This is not a car meant to be driven regularly on rough roads, however, the handling can be poised and reliable when needed. The turbocharged base engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder providing 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. You can also opt for the 3.6-liter V6 that offers 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. You get a nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard four-wheel drive. With the turbocharged base engine, the car can offer powerful performance in the city or on highways. However, the V6 will be quicker to pack punches at high speed.

Safety features
The new Cadillac XT5 has been awarded a five-star rating by the NHTSA for its safety features. You get standard features like ABS brakes, traction, stability controller, and airbags. The car also comes with an HD rearview camera that can offer additional features like front and rear park assist. Driver-assistive technology includes forward collision avoidance, lane-keep assist, and a warning for lane departure. Additionally, this Cadillac model offers blind-spot monitoring, alert signals for lane changes, rain-sensing wipers, and a head-up display with a surround-view camera system.

Warranty
The new Cadillac XT5 comes with the following warranties for different parts:

A bumper-to-bumper warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
Powertrain warranty for six years or 70,000 miles
Roadside assistance coverage of six years or 70,000 miles
Courtesy transportation warranty with coverage extending to 6 years or 70,000 miles

The new Cadillac XT5 is a dream car that offers luxury and top-notch features. The attractive exterior of this car can make it stand out. The interiors are well-designed with enough space for the driver as well as passengers. This is a great option for individuals and families.
