2017 Cadillac XT5 consumer reviews

This vehicle has now let me down 6 times and only has 5200 km on it. 3 months after it was purchased new , in freezing January weather at Buffalo airport it had a dead battery and techs sent from Cadillac Care could not Start it. It died one more time at the terminal and had to be boosted again . Cadillac Care offered to tow it to a local Dealer which would have required staying overnight and not getting any service for 2 days as it was Saturday night. The local police offered to tow it away as well. It finally started again and we had a very nerve racking trip home. We were very worried that we could freeze to death if it happened again. The other 5 incidents were "unable to communicate with key fob" which required placing the fob in "fob pocket ". Cadillac Care had no idea what that meant. My Dealer knew (it goes in glove box for 5 to 30 minutes ) then it should start. Terribly inconvenient when you have a Flight to catch. That has now happened 5 times and my Dealer can't find anything wrong with the vehicle. Way less power than ML 63 traded on it.

I just purchased this car. I searched all makes and models and found the XT5 was at top of the charts for classy looks and unique interior design. I really enjoy the driving experience.

Beautiful styling and interior comfortable beautiful red pearl paint easy to drive with smooth ride like it's not a SUV turns on dime has not got every option but has everything we need

After driving a Lexus and Mercedes we kept coming back to the Cadillac. It really is a far superior car.

I really love the functionality with decent gas mileage for a crossover of its size. The biggest cons are that i don't like the wheel styling and the very light grey headliner. It gets dirty fairly easily and is difficult to clean. Great performance with the awd.

This car meets all my expectations. Very dependable. Excellent driving and riding. Roomy enough for me.

The red color looks very rich. I like the overall look of the vehicle. I handles the road nicely and has great turning radius.

Car is great love the interior, but get in stop and go traffic and you neck will snap off . The stop /start system is very annoying, they say its seamless but the car shudders every time it engages you really feel it. Not a great feeling on a $55,000 car, also with 8 speed transmission it shifts too much in around town driving. I like to save gas and all but I would have bought Smart car if it was that important too me.

This car is better than I could ever have imagined it to be! It rides smooth and I feel amazing in it. It has so many features and perks that I'm truly the happiest girl ever! I don't want to stop driving it!

I drive the Base Model 2017 Cadillac XT-5 and Cadillac has outdone themselves with this SUV I fell in love with it after the first drive on the expressway, which I drive frequently for my work commute, through loud construction and rough pavement the cabin remains quite through the noise and it drives smooth over the bumpy pavement as if it was floating on air! The Safety features are phenomenal, Love how the review mirror lights of the XT-5 flash when a vehicle enters your blind spot, the standard backup camera is crystal clear, the dash display flashes when you are veering out of your lane, and the speedometer display flashes the speed limit when you are driving too fast, which can be a bit annoying, but it just shows how much the vehicle is designed to care about the safety of the driver and passengers. The model I drive doesn't have a CD Player, but the media is connected via an aux cord or Bluetooth mode and what I like is that it will not connect to BT unless you are in Park which is a great safety feature if you have a teenage driver. The interior design of the XT-5 is crafted with the uttermost of perfection. I love how searching all the functions and buttons on the dashboard is not so intimidating as it can be in some cars that I have driven. Everything is at a fingertips touch! The touchscreen is a perfect size for fingers and viewing. The LED lighting is placed perfectly so there is never an interior blind spot during night driving! Black on Black leather and silver trim everywhere! As a driver in cold Chicago having not only heated seats, but a HEATED STEERING WHEEL!... Need I say more.... BUT I will I must not forget to mention the sound system kicks some major bass! The driveability and responsive handling of the XT-5 is just like a sports car, especially when you shift into the manual mode for a split second makes you forget it's a SUV. Also a huge plus is this SUV has some weight and stability to it. Those heavy rain and wind commutes on the expressway, when that big semi- truck passes you, the XT-5 stays anchored it doesn't wince, sputter, or shutter. The fuel efficiency is great as well, I fill up on $35 once a week and that's the end of that hassle. The XT-5 engine has an auto- shut- off feature when you come to a complete stop at a red light and when you release the brake it starts right back up without skipping a beat ready to take on the pavement. A luxury vehicle like the XT-5 that doesn't take premium fuel is okay in my book! Now I will admit, this SUV is a pretty penny, but you can't put a price on safety in my opinion. The 2017 Cadillac XT-5 is a SUV with a new type of standard of safety... The fact that it is in fact a luxury vehicle is a great bonus! I recommend this SUV to anyone who needs a great rental for a family road trip, for the UBER Select drivers or chauffeurs looking for a ride that will leave your costumers talking and coming back, for the parents looking for a safe SUV for the family who may have a new driver in the family, or even the driver like myself who likes to sit-up a bit higher in an SUV that has stability, but an essence of a sports car... I recommend the 2017 Cadillac XT-5 for us and for everyone!
