    Road Test

    Cadillac builds capable, fun-to-drive sedans. But the brand's SUVs lack the same magic. The XT5 is competitive but it's challenged in a crowded field of worthy competitors. It isn't as rewarding to drive as a German luxury SUV, nor does it pamper owners like a Lexus RX.

    Owner Reports

    Owner Satisfaction Owner Satisfaction To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. NA indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.
