Should I Buy the 2023 Cadillac XT5?
The XT5 is a comfortable mid-size luxury SUV, if not one of the sportier entries in its class. We like the available V-6 engine’s power and the fact that it runs on regular gas. The XT5 isn’t as luxurious as some competitors, however, and we don’t care for its touch-sensitive climate controls.
