Luxury and performance work hand-in-hand to give us the 2024 Cadillac XT5. From its stylish exterior to its smooth handling, this compact two-row SUV is a vehicle like no other. We look at why drivers in Lafayette are rushing to get their hands on the new XT5.
5 Highlights of the 2024 Cadillac XT5
1. Striking Exterior
With its sleek lines, 18-inch silver multi-spoke alloy wheels, deep tinted glass, and bright brushed roof rails, the XT5 is a sporty-looking machine that will get you noticed on Lafayette’s streets. LED lighting, including automatic on/off headlamps and daytime running lamps, is both stylish and practical, while the heated power outside mirrors feature integrated turn signals, ensuring other road users can clearly see your intended direction.
2. Luxurious Interior
Plush Inteluxe leatherette upholstery adorns the interior, giving the XT5 a luxurious, upmarket feel. Dual-zone automatic climate control and humidity sensors continually monitor the cabin, adjusting the airflow and temperature as necessary to keep all occupants as comfortable as possible. Even on the base trim, front passengers are treated to a high level of luxury with the heated six-way power-adjustable bucket seats.
3. Smooth Handling
Beneath the hood of the XT5 hides a 235 horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine which kicks out a surprising amount of power for a compact SUV. An advanced nine-speed automatic transmission delivers efficient, responsive shifting, and an electronic precision shifter installed in the cockpit mirrors the movements of a traditional gear shifter, putting you firmly in command of the driving experience.
Caddy has also equipped the XT5 with active aero shutters, improving the vehicle’s aerodynamics and reducing drag for a smoother ride when cruising on the highway or navigating city streets.
4. Flexible Cargo Space
Compact vehicles aren’t typically known for their spacious interiors, but the XT5 is different. In addition to offering a substantial 41.2 inches of front legroom and 39 inches in the rear, this Caddy gives you a 30 cubic feet trunk. You can also fold down the rear split bench seating to open up the cargo area to 63 cubic feet. Accessing the trunk is amazingly easy thanks to the power liftgate with a memory function, which you can program to open to the perfect height.
Entertainment on the Move
To keep you entertained on every journey, the XT5 features an eight-inch, multitouch infotainment display with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration and an impressive eight-speaker Bose sound system. Two USB ports on the center console and two in the rear ensure everyone can keep their devices fully charged while on the road.
