The Cadillac XT5 sits right in the sweet spot for many luxury SUV shoppers. It's larger and more spacious than the compact XT4 but more budget-friendly and maneuverable than the larger XT6 and massive Escalade. The XT5 offers the luxury features drivers expect from a Cadillac, and it has a cabin filled with convenience, tech, and comfort. The 2024 model marks the last year of the Cadillac XT5. It carries over from the 2023 model year with a few updates, including new exterior color options and appearance packages. Here's a closer look at the 2024 Cadillac XT5.
What the New XT5 Has To Offer
The 2024 Cadillac XT5 has a lot to offer drivers and passengers. In addition to the spacious cabin with lots of headroom and legroom, it has one of the largest cargo areas in its class. Behind the second row is 30.2 cubic feet of storage space, and folding the back seats down opens the cargo area up to 63 cubic feet.
There's a trim level for any driver who's considering the XT5. The base trim is the Luxury, but drivers can bump up to the Premium Luxury trim for added features or the Sport trim for a more powerful engine and sporty extras. This model has a sport-tuned suspension, adaptive dampers, and a sport-tuned all-wheel-drive system. It also adds Brembo brakes to its list of standard features.
The Premium Luxury and Sport trims offer several appearance and equipment packages for those who want to add extra features.
Enjoy a Smooth Drive Like Never Before
As soon as drivers get behind the wheel of the 2024 Cadillac XT5, they'll appreciate the smooth and refined ride. The four-cylinder engine has plenty of power, and the V-6 pumps up the fun. When pressing on the gas in an XT5 equipped with the V-6, it takes just seven seconds to reach 60 mph.
When drivers take this Cadillac out on curvy roads, they'll see how composed it remains when taking tight corners. It stays well-connected to the road with minimal body lean. The suspension is another highlight. It's slightly on the firm side, soaking up bumps and dips in the road with ease.
Technology Offered
The 2024 Cadillac XT5 comes standard with an 8-inch touch screen and a wireless version of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. GM's connected services with access to a Wi-Fi hotspot are also standard, along with satellite radio and an eight-speaker Bose stereo system. Buyers who bump up to the Premium Luxury trim will get an integrated navigation system, wireless charging for their smartphone, and a 14-speaker Bose premium stereo system.
The standard safety technology in the XT5 makes this SUV an excellent choice for commuting to work or driving around town. It comes with forward collision warning, automatic braking, lane departure mitigation, and front and rear parking sensors. The Premium Luxury adds to this list of features with a blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.
For drivers who want more safety technology for extra peace of mind, the Technology Package comes with a digital rearview mirror, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system. This package also has an automated parking system that can steer the XT5 into a parking spot with little or no help from the driver, and it comes with rear pedestrian braking to alert the driver if someone walks behind the vehicle.
Interior and Exterior Features
The 2024 Cadillac XT5 has a well-equipped cabin at all trim levels. The Luxury trim has dual-zone automatic climate control, simulated leather upholstery, and power-adjustable, heated front seats. If buyers step up to the Premium Luxury trim, it adds to this with:
- Memory settings for the driver's seat.
- Ambient interior lighting.
- A power-adjustable, heated steering wheel.
- Leather upholstery.
Drivers can bump up the luxury with the optional Platinum Package. This will get them tri-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped dashboard, heated rear seats, and upgraded leather upholstery. It also adds ventilation to the front seats and comes with a simulated suede headliner.
The exterior of the XT5 is just as sleek as the inside. It rides on 18-inch wheels and comes with LED headlights to light the road ahead. Heated exterior side mirrors help make sure that drivers can always see behind them, and a power liftgate gives easy access to the cargo area. The Premium Luxury trim adds to the Luxury with:
- Hands-free power liftgate.
- Panoramic sunroof.
- Power folding and auto-dimming side exterior mirrors.
- Automatic windshield wipers.
The Platinum package adds 20" split 6-spoke alloy wheels to the Premium Luxury and 20-inch 12-spoke Diamond-Cut alloy wheels with a polished finish to the Sport trim. It also adds a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, a leather-wrapped instrument panel, and tri-zone automatic climate control
If drivers need to do any towing with the XT5, the available Smart Towing Package comes with the following:
- V-6 engine.
- Heavy-duty cooling system.
- Seven-pin wiring harness.
- Camera system for hitch guidance.
Engine and Performance
Power for the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine that puts out 235 horsepower. The Sport model gets a more powerful 3.6-liter V-6 gas engine with 310 horsepower. Both engines work with a nine-speed automatic transmission and come standard with front-wheel drive on the Luxury or Premium Luxury trims. All-wheel drive is optional for these two models, but it comes standard with the Sport.
When equipped with the available tow package, the XT5 can tow up to 1,000 pounds with the four-cylinder engine and up to 3,500 pounds with the V-6. This is plenty of towing power for a small camper or utility trailer.
