The advantages and disadvantages of the Cadillac SRX 2016-2017 are identified based on feedback from real owners. More detailed pros and cons of the Cadillac SRX 3.0 and 3.6 with automatic and 4WD can be found in the stories below:
Owner reviews
On the track, the car performed great. The engine is very torquey, still 270 mares. Overtaking without problems. The machine of two tons pulls perfectly. Acceleration to 100 km / h according to the documents in 8.2 s. Manageability is beyond praise. Immediately got used to the car. The suspension is very soft (adaptive). Soundproofing is top notch. Fuel consumption is a little annoying after Peugeot, but you have to pay for power.
Separately, I want to say about the computer. Information about fuel consumption, travel time, tire pressure and much more is displayed! The picture quality is pleasing to the eye.
The ergonomics of the cabin pleased. Everything is in its place. Multi-wheel, USB and AUX, Russian-language navigation (a huge touch screen comes out of the torpedo), dual-zone climate, keyless start. Loved the panoramic sunroof. The salon is very pleasant, everything is illuminated by diodes.
Review of the Cadillac SRX 3.0 with a 2011 automatic
Video review
Now, after a run of 12,000 km and half a year of ownership, I can say that the car is excellent and, as many say, very underestimated. Undoubtedly, it has its pros and cons.
I would call it "V-style dude". It has a very unusual design and appearance. Very brutal, and the interior and exterior are replete with a V-shape throughout.
In habits and driving, he reminds me very much of my old x5 E53. Here, the steering has sufficient rigidity, which allows you to feel very confident on the track.
The suspension is very balanced, clocked up to 180 km / h several times on the autobahn, rides very confidently, pressing to the ground and turning into a car. However, this is not a racing car. Everything in it adjusts to slowness, comfort and regularity.
The interior of the car is 5 points. Everything is at hand, everything is convenient. Finishing materials are of sufficient quality. In the interior of the car, which is 5 years old, there are no signs of aging, wear of plastic or leather. The feeling of the salon, which is done with respect and love for the owner.
Of the main shortcomings, I would call a rather mediocre sound insulation. I would also like chairs with lateral support.
Review of Cadillac SRX 3.0 (249 hp) automatic transmission 2011
Car bought mainly for the exterior and interior. Love these faceted shapes. Beige leather interior with soft seats conquered comfort. There are three-stage heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel. Very comfortable in winter. Panoramic glass roof with sunroof visually expands the interior space. Love how the black lacquered center console and instrument panel come alive with multicolored lights when the ignition is turned on.
Unfortunately, otherwise there are more questions for the designers. The SRX has very "nervous" security systems. When driving, it periodically scares with the danger of a collision with the vibration of the driver's seat and the flashing of the red LED under the windshield. Perhaps this will be useful to a blonde who has recently sat behind the wheel, but a more or less experienced driver will immediately turn off the system so as not to get nervous, which I did.
Similarly, when parking: when reversing, it warns of approaching obstacles by vibration of the driver's seat cushion. Warns very in advance, the distance to obstacles behind is about a meter. Or draws a safe turning path on the screen when moving backwards past neighboring cars and other obstacles, but the airbag still vibrates periodically. All this is just distracting.
On the highway, there is enough power with a large margin, but in the city the machine sometimes slows down. Audi Q5 with 2.0 TSI moves off more pleasantly, while Cadillac's power is felt only at high speeds, at speeds of more than 100 km / h, and on our roads you don’t always accelerate like that. Not happy with the consumption of gasoline, on average, it turns out about 18 liters, a bit too much.
The plastic skirt of the front bumper greatly reduces the ground clearance, it seems to be a crossover, but you have to carefully park at the curbs. Strange decision. At the same time, the ground clearance is very decent, but because of the front bumper, you have to drive very carefully on the dirt road.
In general, the car is very stylish, but ambiguous. They could also provide for a diesel version if they want to sell in Europe.
Vladimir, review about Cadillac SRX 3.6 (318 hp) AT 2014 onwards
In a month it will be 3 years since we have been using it. The most important problem of this device is that it has to be washed frequently, because. the combination of black and an abundance of chrome does not imply the presence of dirt on the body, and in general it is “dumb” to sit in it when it is dirty.
Of all the cars that have passed through my hands for 20 years, this is the most reliable and comfortable device. Consumption in the city an average of 14 liters, on the highway 8-9 liters.
The car has excellent sound insulation and high cross-country ability (often you have to drive through snowdrifts to a cottage outside the city, and this winter of 2016-17 there was just shamelessly a lot of snow).
Since the car is very heavy (more than 2 tons), we immediately decided to take the 3.6 engine and never regretted it. Presses into a chair during acceleration and you can fall asleep on the track when you go at a speed of 120-130 km / h.
Trunk volume turned out to be a nice bonus, especially when you fold down the rear seats - a soft sofa 2 meters long was transported the other day, so you can use this car as a cargo Gazelle (just kidding).
Everyone who talks about the amount of transport tax and about spending money on gasoline in this device wants to say that pleasure and safety are expensive.
The owner drives a Cadillac SRX 4 3.6 (318 hp) with a 2014 automatic.
I love the “Americans”, first of all, for their brutal design, such cars are respected on the road. They also have powerful, unpretentious motors in operation. In addition, American automakers have never saved on options, so the base of the Cadillac SRX already has everything for a comfortable ride, which you won’t even get on German cars as an option.
At first I looked at the top-end Cadillac SRX, but then I decided that spending an extra 350,000 rubles for standard navigation and an entertainment system for rear passengers was too much and took the car in the basic configuration. Cadillac already has a luxurious interior in its base, where even the front panel is covered with expensive leather.
The power of the V6 engine, I would even say, is excessive, which is not surprising, because in fact there are 270 “horses”, and not 249, as recorded in the TCP, so that the transport tax is less. The car has a good throttle response, in any situation there is a reserve of traction.
Unlike other "Americans" that I have driven, Cadillac has a built-in, but very comfortable suspension. It copes well with bumps, and at the same time the car does not sway on the waves (a typical disease of many "Americans").
Among the shortcomings, a rather high fuel consumption in the city can be noted - 18-19 liters per 100 km, while on the highway the engine runs almost at idle, so the consumption drops to 11-12 liters. Still expensive and not very qualified service from official dealers and the high cost of original spare parts. But there's nothing to be done, Cadillac is a premium brand.

Cadillac SRX gloss versus Toyota Highlander pragmatismCadillac SRX
3.0 (269 hp) 6AT, 2,317,000 rubles.
Toyota Highlander
3.5 (273 hp) 5AT, 1,888,500 rubles.
A motorist with two million rubles and surveying the market in search of a large, presentable crossover does not have to count on a calm, serene choice. On the one hand, the faceted and superbly “blinded” Cadillac SRX is enticingly bathed in waves of xenon glow. On the other hand, the Toyota Highlander is pragmatic. To be seduced by the magic of a prestigious brand without looking back or ... Is the way out of the dilemma so obvious?
Cadillac… It's completely different now. Over the past decade, one of the best American brands has dramatically changed the “fairway” from measured luxury to aggressive, sporty style. Even the emblem has been updated to better match the company's design concept with the meaningful name Art and Science. The second generation SRX has little in common with the stereotypical vision of a glorious brand car. A strong, spectacular little thing with a "strong" modern technical stuffing! But whose squinted "eyes" unkindly look at our upstart? Yes, this is Toyota Highlander, a multiple winner of our tests and the antipode of Cadillac! Contrasting characters, different values. Fire and stone! And the base cost differs only a little. "American" in the initial version will cost 1,909,000 rubles, while the price for his Asian opponent starts from 1,832,500 rubles. Caddy is cheap or Toyota is too expensive?
Beauty Western and Eastern
_CadillacSRX_ToyotaHighlander_Page_03_Image_0001.jpg)
If the first generation of SRX was in some sense a trial balloon, then the second generation is akin to a compass needle, accurately indicating the brand's future path in design. It is unlikely that there is such a bright, sharp crossover. However, that's why he and Cadillac: it seems, like half a century ago, in the golden days of the American automobile industry, designers did not limit themselves to anything. Wedge-shaped "icebreaking" muzzle, clean lines of the sides, generously decorated with an abundance of "sequins". And the rear optics is a masterpiece! Narrow taillights with a subtle nod to Harley Earl's famous '50s Cadillac keels, bathed in a piercing red lava of LEDs. Dim Dimych, who met us at the Dmitrovsky training ground, who had seen "beasts" cleaner than Cadillac in his lifetime, only whistled: "Good!".
The interior looks no less impressive, with its decoration unlike any other. The gaze clings not to the functionality of the keys, but to the shield-shaped center console, framed by a metallized frame, and massive air duct nozzles. Finishing materials are very convincing - there is a realm of cream and burgundy leather and wood here - and the build quality and panel fit are quite decent. The chair is wide, not too sporty due to the relatively restrained lateral support. Looks flat, but feels comfortable and unfatiguing, because you can “pump up” the lumbar support or significantly increase the length of the pillow, like a BMW, with a retractable insert. It is difficult to find fault with the adjustment ranges of the seat and steering wheel: the limits of movement are sufficient for a “medium-sized” person to comfortably sit behind the wheel. And the visibility let us down - the front pillars are thick and dashingly inclined, which somewhat complicates entry and exit, and the glazing is not rich. Not everything is simple with a torpedo. It cannot be said that the functionality has become a victim in the dispute between “art” and “science”, just unusual nuances take place. You'll have to be patient to deal with them. For example, the Land Rover door lock is located in the upper part of the center console, and you can switch the modes of the on-board computer (which, according to GM tradition, even shows the residual oil life) with a “twist” on the steering column lever. You will not have to skimp on communication with climate control and its modes. The rear sofa, like the front seats, is not too embossed, but quite cozy. Interestingly, in terms of rear legroom, the SRX outperforms the Mercedes-Benz GL and Range Rover.
