Very quiet and comfortable ride!

The interior is comfortable and quiet. Love all the technology. Learning all the bells and whistles is our biggest challenge, but we are getting to love each feature!

Many problems

My dash keeps saying service transmission had it back the the dealer 3 times and it has yet done it again so back to the dealer again! The interior has faded terribly and I keep it in my garage I work at home. The interiors seems cheap to me. The tires have faded they look so ugly. I am not satisfied with my XT5 at all. Key fobs went dead after 2 1/2 years so everytime I unlocked my doors the car alarm would go off so embarrassing. I am currently leasing it and plan on turning it back in when the lease is up and buying something else. I would of bought this XT5 but way too many issues.

This is absolutely the worse car I’ve ever owned.

I hate hat hate this car. If I cold drive it off a clif into the depth of the ocean, that would be a fitting end

Best Car I Have Ever Owned.

This car exceeded my expectations. It rides smoothly and is very comfortable seating. It also has great sound. Love the heated seats and apply car play.

So far, so good

I bought an off-lease 2017 with 36k miles. I've driven it for a couple of months and love it so far. The auto stop/start takes a little getting used to, and if I'm going through a drive thru I sometimes pull it down into Manual just so it doesn't stop and start so many times. The exterior styling turns heads, and the interior is very luxurious and comfortable. It's a true pleasure to drive, and the automatic braking has already prevented a possible collision in a parking lot. The lane keep assist is also a great feature, especially if you are someone who gets sleepy driving.

Worst car ever

I own and SRX before and was much better than this XT5 I only have 13,000 miles and the transmission don?t work, the car sounds like a tractor and feels like you are driving a big truck, horrible experience and for the first time the dealer is not cooperating enough. I wish I keep my SRX instead of spending so much money on this horrible car.

Nicest Car I have owned

Have owned Equinox LTZ, Equinox Premier and this is a few notches above for sure. A lot of creature comforts, as well as safety features that are simply automatic and comforting. Feels solid, is quiet and has enough power.

Most luxurious car I've ever owned.

This car surpasses all my expectations. I couldn't be happier. I plan on this probably be our last car. There is absolutely no reason to try to improve on perfection.
