2023 Cadillac XT5 Redesign

The Cadillac XT5 features technologies such as a streaming video rearview mirror, a 360° viewing backup camera, and GM’s Electronic Precision Shift’s first application in the Cadillac, which replaces the standard hydraulic converter with an electronic controller. This results in a weight saving of 278 lb (126 kg) compared to the Cadillac SRX, which comes with a new lightweight chassis. The Cadillac XT5 Driver Assist package includes automatic seat belt fastening, flexible cruise control, improved forward automatic emergency braking, and reverse automatic emergency braking. You can also add a number of features, such as three-zone automatic climate control, rear-seat entertainment system, and navigation-enhanced infotainment system.

The Cadillac XT5 is spacious and comfortable inside, with many standard and available features. However, many competing luxury mid-size SUVs are more athletic and affluent, helping them make the most of their money, even at higher prices. The Cadillac 2023 XT5 does not include standard technology like many of its competitors. Again, as standard, 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto, offer remote start and keyless entry. As the options quickly outperformed the price of a well-equipped XT5, those looking for a better deal on a mid-size luxury crossover may consider other options.

2023 Cadillac XT5 : Interior

Inside, the 2023 Cadillac XT5 interior looks beautiful and the controls are easy to understand. The 2023 Cadillac uses an 8-inch touchscreen, which is now a small size for a luxury car. The volume and the presence of menu selection buttons contribute to ease of use, but some buttons do not always respond. The design of the XT5 spoils some of the looks, primarily the three-quarter rearview and the narrow rear window. Driving tools such as the XT5’s blind-spot monitoring and rear-end motion warning are very useful. While the XT5 offers a wide head and foot distance from the front, it doesn’t feel as wide at the width of the cabin, especially at the elbows.

The information entertainment and technology embedded in the XT5 is competitive in its class. For example, the optional 14-speaker Bose audio system sounds clear and powerful, making connecting to Bluetooth easy and straightforward. The XT5 also offers useful charging ports for your devices. The standard voice controls aren’t the best, so we recommend using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. As for advanced security systems, Cadillac offers you several standards, but you will have to pay extra to access others, such as adaptive cruise control.
