So much technology!

My favorite car! This vehicle has so many bells and whistles including many safety features. I don't understand why some complain about the engine shutting off when you stop. Its's very easy to override and it won't shut off in hot temperatures. Plus, it saves gas and immediately turns back on when the brake is released. The XT5 is a smooth ride and is very powerful. I'm spoiled now and only want to buy Cadillacs in the future!

First time Cadillac owner XT5 2018

beautiful automobile comfort is wonderful, and I am a big fellow.Many new bells and whistles to learn and use.Cons do not like the start and stop feature but if you feather the brake pedal it will stop this feature and the car still stops as it should. Not really sure there are 2 exit positions for seat memories driver 1 and 2??. Know this is a SUV but for a Cadillac it rides pretty rough, my thoughts any way. All said really enjoy this automobile and its many features.Have taken one drive over a hundred miles and it was very smooth and easy to drive on the interstate. Plenty of power from the six cylinder engine no problem at all. Looking for a luxury car that wont break the bank this might be what you are looking for

Rear Differential Issues

I purchased a 2018 XT5 brand new. After 10K miles I need to replace the rear differential and rear axles. I now have 16K miles and the differential fluid is leaking again. Seems there is a big issue with this part and I do not recommend this vehicle. Two other issues are one with Bluetooth. The phone crackles on the receivers end when driving. The issues is with the automatic wipers. They do not work well. they are either too slow or go full speed. Changing the dial to adjust does nothing.

Excellent Car for the Money

This car has everything that a luxury crossover should have at a better price than the competition (between rebates and discounts). Excellent ride and acceleration. It it averaging better gas mileage than expected.

The XT5 is a great car, one flaw the Stop Start

The XT 5 is a great car, except for the stupid Stop Start Feature. Other model Cadillacs have the button to disable stop start, but GM in its infinite stupidity, did not put one in the XT5. I drive it in sport mode, so the Stop Start feature, won’t operate in Sport Mode.

The Epitome of Luxury

Cadillac designated for subtle luxury, lavishness and sleekness. You all abundantly sense it with every ride of the XT5. I love it bold frontal look, the sharp and intensely vertical headlights: The incomparable icon and trademark of Cadillac. If you seek the unprecedented sense of elite unique luxury, then it is simply Cadillac..

Best car for the money.

My wife and I love everything about our XT5. We previously owned two SRX`s. Love the XT5 more. We have recommended the XT5 to many people in the market for a car.
