2017 Cadillac XT5 Priced From $40K

–

If you’re as hip and fashionable as Cadillac hopes you’ll be as a 2017 XT5 shopper, you’ll need $39,990 to drive one away to the club, a Brooklyn warehouse, or whatever trendy hangouts the young affluent types crave.

–

That’s the marketing hype, anyway. The XT5, which steps in for the brand’s bestselling SRX, has a whole new image to uphold, although prices don’t stray far from those of the SRX.

–

The base model, available only in front-wheel drive, is $1390 more than the 2016 SRX, but is less of a rental stripper. This time, the front passenger seat gets six-way power instead of four-way manual adjustment, and Cadillac has seen fit to add a power tilt/telescope steering wheel, a garage-door opener, a backup camera, keyless entry, wireless device charging, and a power liftgate.

–

The 8.0-inch CUE touchscreen (without navigation), 18-inch wheels, faux-leather upholstery, and eight-speaker Bose stereo remain standard, along with a three-month trial of OnStar’s 4G LTE in-car wireless hotspot and four-year/50,000-mile scheduled maintenance. A new eight-speed automatic and revised 310-hp 3.6-liter V-6 are the sole choices across all trims.

The XT5 Luxury, at $45,890, adds leather, a panoramic moonroof, power-folding/auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, an eight-way power passenger’s seat with power lumbar, driver’s-side power thigh extension, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring. All-wheel drive adds $2645.

–

At $52,890, the Premium Luxury further spiffs up the XT5. Standard here are 20-inch wheels, an adaptive suspension with selectable driving modes, adaptive LED headlamps, illuminated door handles, navigation, 14-speaker Bose surround sound, and cooled front seats. Forward collision alert with auto-braking and seat vibrations, pedestrian detection, and lane-keep assist (all optional on the Luxury) are also standard. All-wheel drive is another $2495.

Most (but not all) of the toys come standard on the $63,495 Platinum, available only in all-wheel drive. Added features here include softer semi-aniline leather, tri-zone climate control, heated rear seats, a head-up display, a larger 8.0-inch central display on the instrument panel (versus the standard 5.7-inch), 360-degree cameras with a self-washing rear lens, a hands-free liftgate, and anti-theft inclination and interior motion sensors. The big option here (and optional on Premium Luxury) is the Driver Assist Package, which includes adaptive cruise control, automatic parking, auto-braking while in reverse, and automatic seat-belt tightening. All in, with optional wheels and paint, the XT5 is $68,935.

–

Look for the XT5 to finally leave Manhattan’s urban-hip SoHo neighborhood—where it has been seen in photos and commercials—and reach dealers nationwide in early April.
