Cadillac has distilled Escalade-level luxury down to a smaller size with the 2022 XT5, but it has lost some of the flagship's prestige in the process. The exterior styling of the XT5 is attractive and upscale; the well-equipped cabin is quiet while cruising, and there's plenty of space for four adults and their luggage. However, there is little room for mediocre entrants in the brisk compact luxury SUV market, and the XT5's flaws only serve to highlight more impressive rivals such as the BMW X3 and the Genesis GV70.
A turbocharged four-cylinder engine is standard, and a V-6 engine is optional; neither engine is particularly powerful or refined. The XT5's ride over pockmarked roads can be harsh, and its stiff-leggedness doesn't translate to thrilling handling like the Mercedes-AMG GLC-class or the Porsche Macan. Unfortunately, the XT5 is a miss from General Motors' most prestigious brand.
Cadillac XT5 and Maintenance Coverage
Cadillac's standard warranty coverages are comparable to or better than those of the XT5's competitors. The Caddy also provides complimentary scheduled maintenance, but only for the first visit, which falls short of Volvo's three-year or 36,000-mile warranty.
The limited warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles.
The powertrain warranty is valid for 6 years or 70,000 miles.
For the first visit, complimentary scheduled maintenance is provided.
