Cadillac SRX

The SRX underwent a major redesign for the 2010 model year, transitioning from a rear-wheel-drive platform to front-wheel-drive architecture. Downsized dimensions meant the SRX was now strictly a two-row, five-occupant SUV, but it was also more affordable than the first-generation version. A choice of two V-6 engines was offered at first: a 265-horsepower 3.0-liter or 300-hp, turbocharged 2.8-liter. For 2012, both of those engines were replaced by a 308-hp, 3.6-liter V-6. All engines were paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Exterior styling tweaks and a revamped interior with Cadillac’s CUE infotainment interface highlighted the SRX’s updates for 2013. 

The SRX launched for 2004 as Cadillac’s first car-based crossover. Its lower overall height and carlike architecture gave it more nimble handling and a better ride than larger truck-based SUVs, including Cadillac’s own Escalade. The SRX offered a choice of a 260-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 or 320-hp, 4.6-liter V-8, both of which were available with rear- or all-wheel drive. An optional third-row seat expanded capacity from five to seven occupants, and an upgraded interior with a redesigned dashboard arrived for 2007.
