SUVs are perhaps the most popular category in today’s vehicle market, and the class of compact luxury SUVs is arguably the most competitive. With so many options for drivers to choose from, how will a manufacturer make their luxury SUV unique? While some manufacturers are still scrambling for an answer to this, Cadillac has evidently figured out the secret formula for success. This year, we get to see this secret formula in action with the Cadillac XT5.
Basics About the 2023 Cadillac XT5
The Power Behind the Luxury
The XT5 base model is powered by a two-liter Turbo four-cylinder engine that’s paired up to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The front-wheel drive SUV keeps all four tires safely on the ground with its electronic traction control system. The engine is fitted with Auto Start/Stop capabilities, but drivers can deactivate this with the included disabling switch. The 19-gallon fuel tank boasts a highway fuel economy rating of 29 miles per gallon.
Interior Comfort and Entertainment
The onboard Driver Information Center can be found behind your steering wheel. It houses your vehicle’s information as well as any warning lights and can be customized to fit your individual needs. The cruise control settings can be found conveniently placed on your steering wheel. The XT4 can comfortably seat four passengers in addition to the driver, and the front two seats have heating functions.
In the driver’s seat, you will have a plethora of helpful programs at your disposal. The Following Distance Indicator program will display the number of seconds between you and the car ahead of you on your Driver Information Center screen. The Forward Collision Alert will foresee front-end collisions and is capable of stopping the vehicle for you. The Lane Keep Assist can gently pull the steering wheel back to the center of the lane if it senses unintentional drifting.

The introduction was inspired from Car and Driver’s XT5 page, specifically the “Overview” section. The conclusion was inspired by the client’s “About – Our Dealership” section. The information used in the body of the article was taken from this site, and the “Show Standard First” option was selected under the base “Luxury” trim to make it easier and more organized. Under the heading, “The Power Behind the Luxury,” the first three sentences are from the “Mechanical” tab. The fourth sentence is from “Fuel Efficiency.” Under the heading, “Interior Comfort and Entertainment,” all four sentences are from the “Interior” tab with the exception of the first half of the last sentence about passenger capacity, which was obtained from the “Dimensions” tab. All four sentences in the proceeding paragraph are from the “Interior” tab. Under the heading, “The Cadillac User Experience,” the information was gathered from the “Interior” tab but can also be found under the “Highlights” tab.
