- Replacing Cadillac’s best-selling model with an entirely new nameplate is risky business, but that’s exactly what the American automaker did with its first-ever XT5 crossover.

Can't wait to get this car for half the price in a couple years!
That's what I just did. 2 years old CPO w/warranty at half sticker price. 22K miles. The only thing I would change is a start/stop over ride.
So true. 😂
Done!! got wife on last week. $30k @ 30k miles certified pre-owned
Just got one a few weeks ago...love her
Got mine yesterday!!!!!!!
The 0-60 Parlor was adorable. It made me smile. It's a keeper.
I bought a XT5 Platinum, it's an absolutely amazing vehicle....
I just got a 2018 Xt5 Premium Luxury trim which is 1 step down from the top of the line Platinum trim, for $48k. I am surprisingly happy with the mpg @ 25-29+ in the first week of driving. The start/stop feature is mostly in-noticeable especially when restarting. Tons better than my BMW was. Driving it feels much larger than it looks from outside. Overall, I am a happy camper!
Rick De Michele is it brand new ? And by the way why will the 2017 XT5 be 67k and your 2018 XT5 48? Clarity please
It does feel much larger driving it I noticed lol
@@avbroooo because no one pays sticker for an American car.
You guys really make the best car reviews! Greetings from Germany :)
My family had one as a loaner a month or so ago and I must say the FWD version does killer burnouts. The Bose 14 speaker sound system is pretty damn good too (though the door subs were blown on our loaner at just 1,500 miles. :/) but it's pretty fun to drive for a crossover and cue was actually not shit for once. The 8 speed auto is great too, shifts quick and smooth.
Yoshiaki K. My family had a 2014 Escalade Platinum and both differentials went out at 15k miles. We had the XT5 loaner for about two weeks. (From the Cadillac dealer) we ended up trading the Escalade once it was fixed for a 2017 Lexus GS350. Which is a WAY better vehicle.
The way to go man, smart choice. Had the Buick, then Caddy as loaner, traded in for Lexus. I see what happened there.
Wow. Toyota fans up in here lol. Get a real luxury car atleast a 3 series BMW or Mercedes. Don’t get a brand that shares same looks. But I do like the 2017 Camry I don’t really like the 2018 that much. I only like it because of the engine, wheel, and JBL.
Tyler Beeson you must’ve did something wrong to it. Or someone who test drove it, drove the shit out of it because there would be no way that it would mess up for no reason only at 15k miles.
Rongbo Yang I have a Buick in the family. It’s nice. Runs a bit smooth. Idling is perfect. Can’t even feel a thing but a car going passed you at 55 at a light. And has enough power to pull ahead before someone gets on the side of you. It’s actually my grandpa Buick which I love the Verano nothing has happened to his car. I would say he has 50k miles maybe. Or more. But it’s a good car. I like it, the radio sounds amazingly good. Just like the 2013 Malibu but the Malibu actually sounded better.
I hate when they complain about the cheap plastics in cadillacs when some europeans are also guilty about it, my f30 3 series has some plastics that feel like they are straight out of a 2004 suburban dash but somehow they get a free pass
BMW X1, X3 and 3 series have pretty mediocre interiors.
Some people would say it’s because they are white. Lol. But it’s probably just that 😩
Yea I’ve been in a 7 series with plastic so I understand where you are coming from. My opinion of it is if I’m not ever touching it I don’t care as long as it doesn’t look or feel cheap
They’ve been knocking Cadillac on the stuff they’ve been giving the Europeans and Japanese’s a pass for for 30+ years now. It’s nothing new. They’re from California so being unamerican doesn’t surprise me.
ok, this reviewer is funny yet informative. This is how to do car reviews.
Nice car, but the Engine “stop - start” that cannot be deactivated Is a DEAL STOPPER for us. Onto the Acura RDX or Mazda x9. Too bad because we liked this car.
That single and 40 joke though. You cut me deep.
This has to be one of the best reviews ever. "Ideal match Single and 40? Now that's classic. Ha ha I Love It ..
Clean sheet review KBB.
Don’t forget the Bose comes standard! As an 8 speaker system. If you opt up for the 8 inch the system also opts up to 14 speakers!
My parents rented that car while I was on a holiday in the U.S
Looks so cool
Once again please state what sort of adaptive cruise the car has. Does it have partial (turns off under X MPH), 0mph (will bring you to a stop then you hit go or gas to get going again), or traffic jam assist (stop and go traffic).
It isn't enough to just check mark adaptive cruise anymore.
Did the whole start button assembly sunk when he pushed it or my mind made it up??
people completely miss the point of auto stop/start. its their to save fuel so if you can turn it off everyone would end up doing so. if you don't want a "jarring" start then go easy on the gas pedal when it kicks in. you have to let the engine come back on so just give it half a second between taking your foot off the brake and accelerating . i have it in my malibu and traffic is not as annoying as it used to be because i don't just sit there idling and burning extra gas
Did this car completely do away with the side turn indicator, either on the side panel or bottom of side mirrors?
Help. Please post HOW TO replace the halogen bulbs on the 2017 XT5. We are leasing and I hate these yellowish Halogens. Yes, Yes Yes I know they have models with LED but we got a great lease deal on this specific one.
You note that the XT5's starting price of $40,000 is the lowest in the segment. What about the $38,000 Lincoln MKX? I am biased because I think Lincoln has come a long way from its stodgy image (although it still has some work to do). I rented a 2016 MKX recently and found it to be a great crossover. I'm curious to see you review the 2017.
I thought the reviewer and video was great but some shots were very dark. Couldn't see inside the car because it was sunny outside. Also, glad they got rid of the dashboard with the dimpled pattern.
Had tons of engine problems with the 17 in my family unfortunately
Does the push button to open trunk operate on a fuse
If I had money to flash around, lol, this would have been my next vehicle. In the end, I decided not to go with the xt5 because of the Start/Stop system that cannot be deactivated. $48k is too much to spend and then hate one feature on it so I went with the Toyota Highlander for reliability 😎❤
They don’t mention that at the dealer you get a bigger discount on the Cadillac. Actual transaction price is lower with the Cadillac across the board
3:54 The start button doesn't look too secure there
The only thing I wish was different is it was a bit bigger and the front badge was bigger and more in the middle of the grill
is there a full size tire?
Neither fun nor boring: Gee Zach, is that the best we can hope for?
Is this luxury? Or platinum or premium?
Cadillac should come out with a compact suv line. Id be interested
It is called the xt4 and is out now.
Great car
price?
The XT5 is like Doctor Who's Tardis, the outside looks far smaller than the inside which is spacious and plush.
Low starting price is good, but Cadillac current pricing strategy for what is still a '2nd-class' luxury brand (along with Acura, Infiniti and Lexus) who's price when optioned up matches it up alongside '1st-class' European offerings isn't going to expand the brand when a X3 & GLC300 would cost about the same. The fact I see a ratio of about 10 NX200t to 1 XT5 kind of proves this.
3:18 engine start stop that can't be deactivated, sale lost. back to 2017 Lincoln Mkx
I read it could prob too late!!
love me some buffalo bleus!
My family has a tesla model x which was rear ended and this was the rental car, but then they said they had to use a different rental company, so of course they give us a Dodge Charger which may not sound bad but it feels so cheap and i hate it so we have to have it for months of course
I have a 2017 XT5 and love it except that we have driven it 25000 mile over past year and the electronics have shut down four times leaving us stranded in very difficult situations. Cadillac denies any other similar owner issues. Are there any other owners havinf the same issues?
I wonder if he forgot his wallet in the secret spot?!
Watched the whole review, than boom! Kettle Chips! Ball'in!
Grabs honey Dijon mustard flavored kettle chips... nom.
PoserGalore, DeJuan?
Aaron Muchenberger Dijon?
I hope the XT6 has the v6 TT.
While it looks good, I don't like the black plastic cladding. That alone makes it undeserving of being more than $45,000. If you were to get the base model, then I it would compete quite well with the RX and MKX base models , but to equip them similarly after that, the Cadillac becomes outrageously expensive compared to the others and I think that's where it ultimately falls. While the latest Cadillacs are great vehicles [I do like the ATS and CTS], they're just not ready to be asking for that much money just yet, when a few years ago they were making garbage.
banstaman This comment makes no sense. What the company was producing a few years ago has absolutely NOTHING to do with the price of their vehicles today. Cadillac is NOT producing the same quality vehicles they were 10 years ago, they’re actually worth every dollar of MSRP these days. If you actually drove one and compared it the competition you’d know this to be true unless you’re biased.
I would let this guy road test any of my cars!!
حلو
$67k? You could get a damn Suburban at that price
Saw it at a car show- really liked the interior, besides those cheap lower panels.
Armor all will help somewhat with that
eliminate the auto stop\start, more mechanical knobs and buttons, add a "sport" version with better handling, better braking, recaro cloth seats, extra gauges - I'd buy one...
Do a ford flex
Crazy $67,000 for a Platinum mid size SUV
Ugh! Start / Stop that you can't turn off! Why GM? Why?
No volume knob...
Buffalo blue kettle chips are the bees knees.. insides pretty nice grill is so so
Looks nice, I'll wait 2 years and get a good used one for $9,500 Caddy's have awful resale value.
The fact that you didn’t mention the Lincoln MKC as another comparison makes me think you didn’t do your research, or Cadillac is afraid of competition. The MKC has virtually all the same features and comes in several thousand dollars cheaper.
This Caddy puts it's competitors to shame, fare more beautiful style, luxury, and more
bang for your buck. Wake up America and stop buying those overrated, overpriced imports. Caddy is and always will be a Standard of Luxury, the preferred car of the stars.
Are you gone? I like Micah, but I like you too!
But, the interior was white. Pretty good car
Would one of these be good enough for a college male student?
***** Asking for my son
Get him a new Q5 or GLC43 AMG.
I got him a Toyota 4Runner instead!
fyi,it now competes with X3,Q5,& xc6
*XC60
Could be mistaken for a new age Chrysler Pacifica
X5 Q7 rivals ?
lol vertically challanged
I've sat in one a few times. The seat specifically is surprisingly uncomfortable and extremely firm. I was disappointed.
I thought the seats were very comfy. The SRX on the other hand does have firm seats.
Not true at all
@@xzy89c thank you! Loving my new-to-me XT5 2017❤️
The exterior styling is kinda weird...reminds me of the Buick Encore, and not in a good way...weird proportions throughout.
Yoshiaki K. most today's Caddys look weird in the exterior designs.
Don't see any reason to chose this over the better practical and better to drive f-pace
That's smaller, less practical, less reliable and more expensive.
It's slightly shorter but also wider. XT5 competes with F-Pace, Q5 or GLC, not Q7 or GLE. New Q5 or GLC43 AMG are better choices.
I can get a fully load Volvo XC90 R-Design with more space, better tech, better gas mileage, and you can fit seven people in the suv for $68,000
But xc90 s are proving to be very unreliable, look up some customer feedback, u would get the full picture
I have seen some people are having problems with them and I would be pissed if that happened to me.
But Cadillac isn't famous for vault like reliability either.
Yeah. I was thinking to get one, but read lots of reviews and some brand new ones even have problems with touch screen, sunroof and so forth, so, I got a Lexus RX 350. I have to say, XT5 is nice looking and sexy car, but, competition is just too strong. When you have this amount of money to spend on an SUV, you have few good options out there.
+L Ditze You will be surprised by how nice Highlander, Pilot, CX9 or the coming Traverse compare to "luxury SUVs".
Ill take the Nautilus
You can get an Enclave with more stuff in it for less money...the XT5 doesn’t even offer a different engine from its lesser GM stablemates. And hard plastic pockets in the doors on an SUV kissing 70K?
Principe Raphael so delusional lol. What more do you get with the Enclave for less?
The top of line model is total steal at $67,755!
So the stop start can't be deactivated? Not good in a hot Florida climate where stoplights are 2.5 minutes long and you have to sit with the AC off. WTF cadillac?! Back to looking at Honda/Acura.
I am now thinking the BMW X5 is much better than this Cadilac
I'll get the lexus rx thanks
what's with American brands trying to be cute with these different types of shifters?
sportsMike87 like GM, Ford, Chrysler lol ok I agree
The Acura MDX is a "super handling" all wheel drive, not "sport hybrid". Tee hee.
For the life of me, what's going on with that horrible shifter?
MAN I LOVE THE CADILLAC XT5 THE BEST ONE IS THE PLATINUM
69k for plastic? Your kidding me
It looks cramped in the rear.
Oscar Lee it is I have sat in one
I would buy one if it was not for that stupid STOP START that you can not turn off !!!!
It's not worth 67K, I'll tell you that much. Don't tick all those option boxes!
Wait. The base model doesn't include leather? Hope it's leatherette and not cloth, but knowing GM it's probably cloth. And a stop start system you can't turn off? Come on GM...they almost always disappoint for me. The only thing they really excel in is sports cars, and even that isn't going too well for them sales wise. I try to get into it but I just can't.
The base model offers leatherette, but so does the base level RX and MKX, a lot of luxury manufacturers are making leather optional and leatherette standard. As far as the auto start stop, I'm sure you can go to the dealer to have it turned off, but of course that'd cost money.
$43,000 -$69,000 for a Plastic entry....NOPE!
did you even watch the video? you sound like a dumb ass
17450 And you sound like a Rich bitch
i am rich so what?
Well then I want to see you in a Maybach S 600.
ewww no
Looks very cheap in all but the ridiculous priced $60k trim. No thanks
Blake Swan You have to see and drive it in the real world it'll blow you away. Cadillac is making excellent vehicles. Don't let the automotive press fool you.
Leatherwood22 I test drove it. Way overpriced for what you get
Yoshiaki K. Okay tell me what I like then.
Yoshiaki K. Why the hell would I drive a Chromed out Chevy? Gross
Yoshiaki K. You have yourself a great day!
68,000 for such a car? Ridiculous, almost enough for an X5...
yeah but just a base Which will only come with very few luxury features
That shirt is one size too small.
I like it, he’s adorable
I liked the old RWD Cadillac SRX from 2004 - 2009. Cadillac figured out people buying crossover vehicles don't care about driving dynamics and decided to copy the Lexus RX and sales took off. I think I would rather have a fully loaded Chevrolet Equinox than this new Cadillac XT5. $67,000 is out of this world for a small luxury crossover. Cadillac has the most ambitious delusional pricing on their cars like this and the now discontinued ELR.
f pace and glc are better
Yudha Bagaskara Not even in the same class of vehicle. This XT5 competes with the likes of the Lexus RX, Acura MDX, etc, etc..
Those are smaller and a lot more expensive when similarly speced.
They're pretty much the same. XT5 is GLC and Q5's competitor.
Luxury SUVs are not my thing, but if I have to take one, I'd go for a Lexus.
No longer the class leader and with the name change sales reflect the stupid thinking at Cadillac.
Nothing but lackluster reviews with this pile. The back end roof slope reminds me of the Ford Edge.
I can get a Audi Q5 with same luxuries for $10,000 less
No you can't. Liar.
2019 Cadillac XT5 worst car I've ever owned!!! Stuck in cruise control accelerated to 105 MPH, Had to shut the car off to get it to stop! BUYER BEWARE!!!
you said it.... I am not buying a $60,000 car with CHEAP plastic door boxes.
Very disappointing to drive. The ride is rough, unyielding and jarring over rough pavement. The controls in the digital information centre between the tach and speedometer are overly complex and the design is mediocre. The Mercedes GLC blows this out of the water
CADILLAC just don't do it for me anymore.
Looks so wrong
Man this thing looks horrendous, even worse than it's abomination of a predecessor.
YazeedSaber biased Lexus famboy im sure cause any unbiased person (like me) would know... this is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!
Don’t buy it
Love mine
Want a loaded version but need to save cash?? Get the Buick version.. still too much, go with the Gmc.. still too much? Go with the chevy.. please.. this thing is crap.
