From the point of view of performance characteristics, in the Cadillac SRX, high power and performance are striking first of all. Cadillac SRX is full size crossover. Nevertheless, it accelerates to 100 km / h in 7.5 seconds.
However, these figures should not be surprising. Due to the fact that the ground clearance is 21 cm, the car quickly develops speed, while it is perfectly kept on the roadway. This clearance allows the model to feel comfortable on the road. A large engine capacity of 3 liters with a capacity of 249 liters also contributes to the successful overcoming of obstacles. With. Also available in the configuration is an engine with a volume of 3.6 liters and a power of 318 liters, respectively. With.
The car is equipped with an impressive DOHC V6 gasoline-powered powertrain. Like other Cadillac engines, this one uses direct fuel injection. The crossover keeps well on the track also thanks to the tire size (diameter) R20.
The Cadillac SRX crossover is the best-selling car of the American automaker in recent years, which is wildly popular not only in the US, but also in Europe. Last spring Company General Motors announced plans for a major update to the current second-generation Cadillac SRX and unveiled the fruits of its labor at the New York Auto Show a year later. The refreshed crossover initially entered the North American market, and then reached Russia.
The first generation Cadillac SRX was released in 2004, immediately becoming a bestseller in America. A little later, the car was among the top five premium crossovers for three years in a row and was twice nominated for the Car of the Year award. After five years of production, the first Cadillac SRXs have given way to the current second-generation crossover. At the heart of the second Cadillac generations The SRX is based on the Provoq concept car, built on the GM Theta Premium all-wheel drive platform, which combines the advantages of the Theta and Epsilon II platforms. GM first spoke about the desire to update its most popular crossover last spring, but at the end of March this year, the Cadillac SRX 2013 was introduced to the world. model year. Restyled version crossover has changed not only externally, but also noticeably updated in terms of technical equipment. The list of introduced innovations would take more than one page, so we will focus only on the most important changes and try to understand how the 2nd generation Cadillac SRX has become better.
In respect of exterior Cadillac SRX II has not undergone global changes, retaining its natural solidity and aggressive posture. GM designers updated the upper and lower grilles, slightly changed the pattern of the optics, which received a completely new stuffing, retouched the area of the air intakes and roof rails, and also introduced light illumination into the side air intakes located on the wings. underwent minor cosmetic manipulations and rear end car. The dimensions of the Cadillac SRX crossover of the 2013 model year have hardly changed, adding only 3-4 mm in some parameters: the body length is 4834 mm, the wheelbase is 2807 mm, the width is 1910 mm, and the height of the crossover does not exceed 1669 mm. The curb weight of the novelty is 2520 kg, the fuel tank holds about 76 liters of gasoline.
The salon, which has retained the previous five-seater layout with a 2 + 3 layout, has changed much more noticeably. We will not consider variations of interior design styles, of which five, if not six options have been added, this is a boring and troublesome task. Let's pay attention to innovations that directly affect the level of comfort. First of all, it is worth noting the improved sound insulation of the cabin with unique technology active noise cancellation. We also highlight the new seats, which, in addition to basic electrical adjustment, heating and memory settings, can also be equipped with a ventilation system with forced cooling in hot weather (a kind of conditioner for the back and the fifth point of support). Well, the main innovation of the restyled Cadillac SRX 2 is the CUE (Cadillac User Experience) infotainment system with an 8-inch touch screen, voice control support and gesture recognition. This multimedia complex, which appeared relatively recently, combines all electronic stuffing vehicle, allowing for quick and easy control all the many crossover features. Simply put, without the CUE system, there simply would not be enough space for buttons on the front panel.
For those who want more, the developers have prepared an optional panoramic roof UltraView, equipped with two electric drives - one for the sunroof, and the second for the sunshade. Moreover, special system adjusts the volume of the crossover audio system depending on the degree of opening of the sunroof, without losing surround sound quality. Concluding the review of the interior, let's say a few words about the trunk. Here, the developers have prepared a new concept for organizing the luggage compartment with a niche under the floor, U-shaped rails and a removable partition. In the basic state, the trunk is able to accommodate about 844 liters of cargo, and with the rear row of seats folded down, its capacity will increase to 1730 liters.
Specifications. On Russian market updated crossover Cadillac SRX II 2013 presented with two options power plant. The base in our market is the V-shaped six-cylinder power unit SIDI DOHC VVT with a displacement of 3.0 liters. Its peak power is at around 199 kW or 272 hp, achieved at 7000 rpm. The torque reaches its maximum of 301 Nm already at 3200 rpm, which guarantees good dynamics overclocking. By the way, the same engine was also installed on the pre-styling version of the Cadillac SRX, but after some modifications and reconfiguration of control systems, the 3.0-liter engine became more economical and less susceptible to Russian gasoline, not always High Quality. If we talk about exact numbers, then the average predicted fuel consumption in the city will be about 13.6 liters, on the suburban highway it will drop to 8.6 liters, but in mixed mode it will be no more than 11.2 liters. The maximum speed of the Cadillac SRX 2 crossover with a 3.0-liter engine is 210 km / h with a starting acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in just 8.5 seconds.
In 2014, this engine for the Cadillac SRX was “deformed” to 249 hp. (in order to "optimize the tax burden"), the torque remained the same.
Another V-shaped gasoline engine available in Russia with the same six cylinders already has a volume of 3.6 liters. This engine from the VVT V6 DI Direct Injection line is presented for the first time and will be available only in the top version of the equipment. The power of the 3.6-liter "monster" is 234 kW or 318 hp, achieved at 6800 rpm. No less impressive is the torque of the motor, which at 2400 rpm reaches the mark of 360 Nm. Similar characteristics allow you to "bestow" the Cadillac crossover SRX 2nd generation with very impressive dynamics - from zero to the first hundred on the speedometer, the novelty can accelerate in 8.1 seconds (and this with a weight of 2.5 tons!), Well, the upper speed limit is limited to 220 km / h. As for fuel consumption, the increased volume and power, respectively, will require more fuel - in the city, the SRX "eats" about 16.3 liters, on the highway it will be limited to 8.8 liters, but in mixed mode, the consumption will be approximately 11.5 liters .
Both engines are aggregated only with a 6-speed "automatic" 6T70. automatic transmission adaptive, integrated with the system all-wheel drive, has a manual shift function and a special sports mode of operation. All-wheel drive crossover received new system torque distribution and complemented by a self-locking differential (eLSD). rear axle It has gear ratio 3,39.
The suspension of the new Cadillac SRX has not undergone global changes during the current restyling. As before, MacPherson struts are used in front, and a multi-link design in the back. At the same time, the suspension is not only completely independent, but also adaptive, able to change its stiffness depending on the speed of movement and the quality of the roadway, as well as counteract the rocking of the car during sharp maneuvers. All wheels are equipped with ventilated disk brake mechanisms with drying function brake discs(Auto-Dry) and a fault alert system (Ready Brake Alert). In addition, the braking system of the car is supplemented with other electronic assistants: 4-channel ABS, TRC, BAS, Hill Start and electric parking brake. The steering of the 2013 Cadillac SRX crossover is rack and pinion with a hydraulic booster with a variable coefficient of effort.
Premium class cannot be imagined without quality systems security. In this regard, the new Cadillac SRX has everything in in perfect order. The front of the cabin is equipped with front and side airbags, as well as side curtain airbags that protect the head. The rear space of the passenger compartment is protected only by side curtains. All chairs have three-point harnesses security, there are attachments for child seats, as well as programmable door locks. In addition, the updated Cadillac SRX received several new electronic security systems already available in the basic equipment version. This is, first of all, a blind spot monitoring system and a system for detecting objects moving in a transverse course from behind (very useful when trying to reverse out of a parking lot). In the top-end version, a lane control system and a forward collision warning system are additionally installed. For an additional fee, you can also install an intelligent emergency braking system to a complete stop of the car at any speed.
Options and prices. In Russia, the 2014 Cadillac SRX crossover is offered in two equipment options: "Base" and "Top". At the same time, in the “Top” configuration, the buyer can choose between 3.0 and 3.6-liter engines.

Cadillac has finally pleased motorists with its new model of the SRX 2014 line. This bright crossover, which combines luxury and sophistication, inherited the best features of the premium class from previous generations, and also acquired new innovative parameters.
Cadillac SRX-2014: traditions and innovations
So, first of all, innovations include a rear-view camera and a Bose multimedia system, which is distinguished by surround and high-quality sound. According to its technical characteristics, Cadillac, as before, is true to itself.
In addition, the manufacturers did a great job on the exterior design of the body, which subsequently increased the number of sales in Europe by almost 5 times, compared with the implementation of previous Cadillac SRX 2007 models.
The new "Cadillac", presented in Detroit, won the hearts of many European motorists. Still, after all, having a bright, even aggressive appearance, it is a dream for many drivers. Outwardly, a bit reminiscent of the CTS sedan, the car has become a little smaller than previous generations, while retaining the sharp features and lines inherent in this car brand. Finely defined details combined with a single steel body give the design of the machine originality and uniqueness. The length of the crossover has decreased by 12 cm, and the height - by 5 cm. The mass of the new model is approximately 2.5 tons. Volume fuel tank holds more than 70 liters. Also, the radiator grilles have undergone changes, and the side air intakes now glow in the dark.
The interior of the cabin and its useful features
Unlike some previous generations such as the 2005 Cadillac SRX, the new car is more luxurious and stylish interior salon. At the same time, the ergonomics of the crossover leaves much to be desired: the steering wheel is adjustable only for tilt, which is quite inconvenient, since, being in extreme positions, it covers dashboard. Also, the manufacturers did not really think over the location of the buttons on the control panel: climate control data is displayed in the center, and the key itself, which is responsible for the temperature regime, is located at the bottom.
The crossover salon still remained five-seater. Manufacturers have done a good job of sound and noise insulation of the machine. In addition, at new modification There is a feature that is extremely useful in hot weather - this is a ventilation system equipped with additional cooling.
The new Cadillac SRX model is equipped with effective airbags integrated both in front of the passenger compartment and on the side. There are also side curtains. The developers also took care of child seats, for which there are special clips. Door locks automatically lock when moving. Compartments for storing many small and useful things were placed on the upholstery of the doors and on the backs of the seats.
The salon is wide enough, the seats seem quite flat and, at first glance, not very comfortable. However, this is not at all the case! Passenger seats have become much more comfortable and even more spacious. But due to this kind of increase, the volume of the luggage compartment has decreased significantly. Although its capacity in this model is more than 800 liters. If you fold down the rear passenger seats, the trunk volume will almost double.
Specifications
The technical side of the Cadillac SRX has been improved by a suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers. Thanks to this, the crossover rides confidently, not lingering on bumps and potholes on the road, and also keeps well in corners.
It is widely known that "Cadillac" - this is the car that consumes a lot of fuel. In addition, it is far from the cheapest car in terms of after-sales service. And yet, he has plenty of fans.
Many people love this car due to its comfort and many features. Generally Cadillac SRX, specifications and the advantages of which give the right to characterize it as a car with a strong and reliable suspension with all-wheel drive, it is distinguished by a smooth ride, as well as a stable maintenance of the trajectory of the entire path while driving.
High-quality interior trim and ergonomics thought out to the smallest detail made Cadillac one of the most recognizable brands. All models of this brand are equipped with ABS, traction control and effective airbags. In addition, the car is equipped with a control and a system for finding sudden objects.
The heart of the Cadillac SRX is a powerful engine
The crossover is equipped with a 6-speed engine and has 265 Horse power. Cadillac supplies cars equipped exclusively with automatic transmission, considering assembling cars with mechanics "bad taste". For those who like more powerful cars, manufacturers promise to release a Cadillac next year with a powerful turbine engine volume of 2.8 liters. All cars will be equipped with automatic transmission with sport and manual modes. The fuel consumption of a car with a 2.8-liter engine is on average about 14 liters when driving around the city; on the highway, "Cadillac" "eats" a little less - about 9 liters.
Additional functions
The all-wheel drive system is self-locking and has a limited slip differential. The wheels of the car are equipped with discs with a drying function. The steering wheel of the new "Cadillac" is equipped with hydraulic booster. For added safety, an electric handbrake is installed. The driver will also enjoy a variety of electronic gadgets, small road assistants - ABS, TRC and BAS.
Speed characteristics of the new generation
Cadillac SRX demonstrated its capabilities during a test drive. At the same time, the car did not work at full capacity, since the route for the presentation of the model was very small (about 1 km). Dimensional car Holds the road well and corners well. And all thanks to the special Haldex coupling of the 4th generation, which prevents the car from skidding.
The powerful braking system will rightly receive positive feedback from consumers. The brake pedal is unmistakable and efficient. The only negative while driving is the long “thinking” gearbox. The car does not accelerate, especially when cornering in sport mode. At the same time, on a straight line, the car has a decent acceleration.
American manufacturers hope for the successful sale of the car in Russia. And for this, as you know, advertising alone is not enough. Tempting for a Russian car enthusiast should be not only technical specifications machine, but also its cost. For a crossover with a basic configuration, which already implies a considerable amount of bells and whistles, the developers are asking from 1 million 760 thousand rubles.
However, if Cadillac SRX parts could be easily obtained, and service centers for the maintenance of such vehicles have established their own direct activity it is in Russia that there would be much more buyers for such a car.
Crush test for Cadillac
This car is considered one of the most reliable. This was confirmed by the crash test. For a side impact, the car received five points. A little worse was the case with a frontal collision. Here, the car has already scored only four stars out of a possible five.
Nevertheless, Cadillac manufacturers lay big hopes for the successful sale of a new generation car in our country. The previous SRX model was sold in Russia in the amount of only 700 pieces, while being not the worst premium option.
Most likely, the hopes of the developers will come true, since such luxury car will be appreciated by both men and the beautiful half of humanity, versed in quality cars. In other words, sophistication, solidity and functionality are harmoniously combined in the Cadillac SRX. The reviews of the owners who managed to enjoy being behind the wheel of this handsome character characterize it as elegance enclosed in an aggressive style.

Cadillac SRX History
The Cadillac SRX debuted in January 2003 in Detroit. The car was created on the Sigma platform with a longitudinal engine. Design features - a rigid load-bearing body with subframes, fully independent front and rear suspensions with aluminum levers (multi-link rear) and Cadillac's proprietary Magnetic Ride Control system.
SRX brings new opportunities to its market segment. The design of the crossover echoes, as expected, with all models of the modern Cadillac line. Angular shapes, high-mounted headlights and rear lights, swift lines and the exterior as a whole continues to follow the “trodden path” of the previously announced XLR and CTS cars in the stylistic decision. When creating the SRX, ideas were used that were first embodied in metal in the Vizon concept car. The car will be a step lower than the big Cadillac Escalade, but it will be just as well equipped. The SRX combines excellent performance, beautiful design and interior luxury.
The car perfectly "holds" the road and flawlessly passes complex bundles of high-speed turns. With the longest wheelbase in its class, the SRX combines power with refined handling, excellent visibility and practicality. Sophisticated ergonomics, the arrangement of elements and their management causes only positive emotions. Leather-trimmed seats with ample lateral support, as well as a pedal assembly are equipped with electric drives, which, in combination with a height-adjustable steering column, allows you to take a comfortable driving position.
In the role of the main driving force: 4.6 liter Northstar V-8 VVT (variable valve timing) or 3.6 liter V-6 VVT with 258 hp. The 32-valve V-8 engine was modified and installed longitudinally. It produces 320 hp. at 6400 rpm and its maximum torque is 427 N/m at 4400 rpm.
Cadillac SRX can be both with full and with rear wheel drive. The package includes many different auxiliary systems and a self-adjusting suspension. Technological Excellence all-wheel drive transmission Cadillac SRX are aimed at achieving complete control over the road in all weather conditions. The transmission distributes torque 50/50 between the front and rear wheels, which allows the most efficient use of the load distribution on the axles. Anti-slip system operating at any speed, and the maintenance system exchange rate stability StabiliTrak provide smooth and confident acceleration on any road. One of the advantages of the SRX is the integrated high-strength steel body frame with impact absorption zones designed by the designers at the vehicle's development stage.
But with all this, the Cadillac SRX is not very suitable for cross-country travel. This is a typical city car offering its passengers comfortable travel without accidents. It should also be noted the roomy trunk and spacious salon. The car can accommodate up to seven passengers. By the way, one press of a button is enough, and the car will turn into a five-seater. This technically complex operation can increase the capacity of the luggage compartment.
In August 2006, Cadillac launched the SRX with a fully new finish interior - more modern, high-quality and made taking into account the wishes of European motorists. At the same time, the changes affected, first of all, the front panel, which retained the already familiar architecture, but at the same time began to look noticeably richer. The shape of the center console and tunnel, all air ducts, controls and even the instrument panel, which received a new shape and layout, underwent a rework. In general, the lines of the interior have become smooth and rounded, and the materials used in its decoration have been replaced with better and more expensive ones.
Basic equipment for American market be equipped with a Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround audio system, which buyers can upgrade with a DVD player and an additional screen mounted on the central tunnel behind the front seats.
Finally, the 2007 Cadillac SRX with a V8 engine is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, and in the Sport version this car will be available with 18- or 20-inch rims to choose from.
Assemble the Cadillac SRX at the factory Lansing Grand River.
Cadillac SRX 2010 was presented to the world community in January at the Detroit Auto Show. The car is based on the Cadillac Provoq concept car. The car is based on the GM Theta Premium platform (along with cars such as Chevrolet Captiva, Pontiac Torrent, Saab 9-4X and even Daewoo Winstorm) and has all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive versions. The 2010 SRX sets new quality standards in the luxury crossover segment. It successfully combines features sports car and refined, graceful forms of an expensive executive car.
The design has become more sophisticated and dynamic: compact dimensions, branded embossed sides, stampings on the trunk lid, powerful wheel arches. A new "face" of the car is created by the grille shield, lined with elegant light alloy tubes, and Cadillac's iconic vertical headlights, equipped with an adaptive headlight system. They effectively complement the taut, swift body, along the edges of which are placed standard 18-inch cast wheels.
At the same time, the second generation SRX further emphasizes the status of the brand not only due to its appearance, but also a qualitatively new interior. Salon Cadillac SRX 2010 - a symbiosis of technologies in the field of multimedia and expensive finishing materials. Despite more compact dimensions Compared to the previous generation, the 2010 SRX remains quite spacious and functional crossover: wide doorways, comfortable power leather seats, legroom and headroom, as well as a low loading height of the luggage compartment.
The structural body structure of the SRX crossover provides the lowest noise level among vehicles in this class. The company's engineers have made significant strides in reducing noise levels from the powertrain, exhaust system and transmission, from aerodynamic body components, as well as from rolling wheels on the road surface. The developers also reduced noise through the use of a soundproof front panel, special floor treatment and the use of a multi-layered windshield and laminated front side windows.
For the 2010 Cadillac SRX, there are two engines to choose from that offer an excellent combination of fuel efficiency and power. The base 3.0-liter V6 engine with direct fuel injection and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) develops maximum power 269 HP and maximum torque of 302 Nm. The optional 2.8L V6 Turbo engine develops an impressive output of up to 300 hp. and torque up to 400 Nm. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode (DSC), which allows the driver to change gears smoothly without pressing the clutch pedal.
Thanks to the system of complete AWD drive stability and controllability in any driving conditions are achieved. The system includes the latest generation electronically controlled limited slip differential (eLSD). Firstly, the technology allows you to distribute torque along the axles and between the wheels, and secondly, up to 100 percent of traction can be transmitted to one single wheel, which allows you to raise handling on a winding and slippery road to a whole new level.
The list of basic equipment of the Cadillac SRX includes a leather interior (seats, door panels, steering wheel, dashboard), full power accessories with an electrically adjustable pedal assembly, driver's seat memory, climate control with separated zones (driver / passenger), multifunction steering wheel, power tailgate, sunroof, premium audio system with CD changer from Bose with 8 speakers , advanced on-board computer, front and side airbags, curtain airbags and Stabilitrak stability control system. Bluetooth wireless phone system, xenon headlights and parking sensors are also standard on all Cadillac SRXs. In addition, the top version is equipped with a Russified navigation system with color interactive touch screen, hard drive for storing audio and video files, USB output for external devices, rear view camera, decorative wood inserts on the front panel and doors and a panoramic sunroof.
SRX safety systems are designed to protect passengers before, during and after an accident. In addition to the reinforced body structure and suspension to absorb impact energy, martensitic steel is used in the box beams. It is one of the strongest and helps protect the body from destruction during side impacts, and also ensures that its integrity is maintained during frontal collisions and blows from behind.
Safety features also include standard window curtain airbags, front side thorax and pelvic airbags (they are installed in the backs of the front seats), front seat belts with dual pretensioners and force limiters, roll reduction sensors, a safety pedal block, a stabilization system trailer and OnStar system. In addition, the SRX meets all European pedestrian protection standards, its front bumper is located almost at the level of the bumpers of other cars.
multifunctional luggage compartment has a volume of 1.7 m (with the rear seats folded down), and under its floor there are roomy compartments where you can put, for example, backpacks or sports equipment. The optional U-Rail system and the adjustable baffle will help you organize the luggage compartment in the best possible way and securely secure various items. The retractable curtain, which is fixed in two positions, hides your luggage from prying eyes without making it difficult for you to access it. The rear seat has a hatch for long items such as skis - which does not prevent two passengers from sitting comfortably on the seat. Easy access to the luggage compartment is provided by the optional power tailgate with programmable lift height.
In 2012 on international motor show In New York, Cadillac presented to the public the second restyling of the second generation of the SRX model. The automaker updated the front end, redesigned the rear end, changed the wheels, tires and installed a new state-of-the-art CUE (Cadillac User Experience) multimedia system.
The appearance of the car has not undergone major changes. Designers awarded the updated model with a new, bigger size false radiator grille with faceted slots, dressed in chrome, and the new logo of the company Cadillac, modified the front and rear bumpers, giving them smoother and more expressive forms. The front bumper was supplemented with a compact air intake slot and round foglights in chrome rings. The design of light-alloy aluminum 20-inch wheels with 235/55 R20 tires has changed.
The side of the body is distinguished by huge wheel arch radii, air ducts on the front fenders, stylish ribs that organically cut through the surfaces of the doors in the lower and upper parts, doors with a high sill line, compact windows and a domed roof. The lower part of the body is covered with a wide protection made of black plastic, which prevents the body from minor damage. An additional Xenon Blue Metallic body color option has appeared.
Otherwise, the already familiar image of a crossover with large and beautiful vertical headlights with complex technical content - adaptive bi-xenon with daytime running lights. The front of the car looks solid, powerful and assertive. dimensions are 4834 mm long, 1910 mm wide, 1669 mm high, with a 2807 mm wheelbase and 179 mm ground clearance(clearance).

A rather bold design uses all the recognizable features of the brand: vertically located optics, embossed sides and powerful wheel arches. The interior offers luxurious finishes, a retractable touchscreen display multimedia system. In the second generation, the SRX lost its V8 engine, now it is equipped only with V6 engines with a 2.8-liter turbo and 3-liter naturally aspirated. In Russia, a version with a three-liter engine is available in two trim levels: Base and Top.
