This, of course, was not the case at all. When General Motors took up the development of a compact (by American standards) crossover, Obama did not even dream in his nightmares that in a couple of years he would give way to the Oval Office, the favorite of all rednecks. But the all-wheel drive Caddy is one of those who will help return the States, if not greatness, then the confidence that Cadillac is needed somewhere outside the United States.
Seriously, what is a potential buyer of a premium crossover thinking about? About the German troika, first of all. About Lexus - in the second. Maybe someone is looking towards the Jaguar F-Pace. But Cadillac? With brand identity, this is a complete disaster. No one remembers the luxurious Eldorado and Fleetwood anymore, the history of the brand's greatness has long been gathering dust in the closet of GM marketers. The Caddy is either an Escalade or something like a BLS sedan built on the Opel Vectra platform. In fact, Cadillac is changing, and for the better. And XT5 is a good confirmation of this.

First, it's beautiful. The ideas laid down in the conceptual Evoq almost twenty years ago still live. And live brightly! Caddy XT5 is the blades of running lights, a monumental radiator grille, embossed plastic sides and a dynamic silhouette. If in 1997 the average age of a Cadillac buyer was over sixty years old (sixty, Carl!), today the XT5 is too bold and flashy for retirees. In a word, the exterior is a very strong trump card of the American crossover.

You think so until you get into the salon. Because the interior makes you fall in love with the intricacies of planes and diversified materials. See how the air ducts are played, how the front panel literally flows into the doors, hugging you. Leather, suede and metallic accents create a cosiness that you would not expect from a car of this class. At the same time, Caddy's salon does not resemble a grandmother's living room. More like a cruise ship. And the most amazing thing is that multimedia does not make you want to turn off the engine and go towards the nearest metro station.

Accuse me of bias, but few can compete with the Germans in this area (BMW and Audi in particular). You either wipe the blood from your eyes from terrible graphics, or try to remain calm in an attempt to cope with disgusting logic. Or wonder why the Nokia 3310 responds five times faster to button presses. Caddy XT5 is not like that. Still not German, but already quite worthy. True, I am still against touch screens, but this trend can no longer be stopped.

As in the States, our Cadillac XT5 is offered with a single engine - a 3.6-liter V6 with 314 hp. But if in America you can order a crossover with front axle drive, then in Russia the XT5 has no alternative to all-wheel drive. In fact, the choice comes down only to the configuration - Luxury, Premium and Platinum. The test car was expectedly "platinum", although this is hardly the equipment for which it is worth paying extra eight hundred thousand rubles. First, to hell with wheels with discs with a diameter of 20 inches. Cadillac - even if it's a crossover - should be comfortable, and on spring roads with low-profile tires, this is difficult for him to do. Secondly, the XT5 is stuffed to capacity with active safety and driver assistance systems.

He is indignant when you roll too hard on the car in front of you. It flashes like a Christmas tree if you decide to change lanes. He wants to park you himself, and he also gives your ass a vibration massage with the parking assistant activated. The all-round viewing system and the rear-view camera integrated into the saloon mirror are from the same series: you can safely do without them. Of course, we remember who this car was designed for, and what Mikhail Zadornov said about them. But the beauty of the Caddy XT5 is not what it hides in its bowels of the mission control center.
The crossover gives an absolutely irrational, but very strong feeling that everything is in order. You sit inside and enjoy the elegant interior. Turn on the music and just go. From time to time, of course, you wonder where fifty horses have gone, because the XT5 somehow does not go to three hundred forces. But only periodically, because measured movement is much more enjoyable.
And measured does not mean slow. The Cadillac feels great at “don't take my license from me” speeds, especially on long trips. And in this it kind of reminds me of my Fleetwood Brougham, which can't stomach the fuss and fun starts at traffic lights. True, the XT5 slows down much better. In terms of deceleration efficiency, he is able to give odds even to his classmates. I will say more - he can even drive along the winding Ilyinsky highway without drama. But only to take you to the country house, no more. It's a Cadillac, it's not about that.
Spectacular and comfortable crossover Cadillac XT5 is designed to give you maximum pleasure from every trip. It will exceed any of your expectations and will pleasantly surprise even the most demanding driver. Sleek and elegant, light and roomy, the new Cadillac XT5 delivers truly impressive performance and performance.

Options and prices Cadillac XT5 2019
AT8 - automatic 8-speed, AWD - four-wheel drive
At the same time, the 2019 Cadillac XT5 looks more expensive and more solid than the previous generation car. All thanks to the abundance of chrome in the exterior trim, a larger elongated radiator grille, massive bumpers and head optics in the style of the CTS sedans and the flagship CT6.
Inside, the crossover flaunts high-quality trim materials, a stylish instrument panel and a four-spoke steering wheel, a large screen of the CUE multimedia system and touch buttons on the center console. In general, the interior of the model has become more comfortable, a little more spacious and luxurious than its predecessor, and the equipment includes the latest developments in the field of security.
Specifications
The 2018-2019 Cadillac XT5 was based on the new C1XX modular chassis, which reduced the weight of the SUV by 126 kg compared to the SRX. As a result, the front-wheel drive version of the model weighs 1,814 kg, and the all-wheel drive version weighs 1,940 kilos on the scales.
The overall length of the Cadillac XT5 is 4,815 mm, the wheelbase is 2,857, the width is 1,903, the height is 1,675, and the trunk volume has not yet been specified. In the North American market, only one engine is offered for the car - this is a 3.6-liter "six" with a capacity of 310 hp. (366 Nm) with the function of deactivating two cylinders.
As mentioned above, buyers can choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The latter is remarkable in that the electronics, depending on the driving conditions, can transfer up to 100% of the thrust to each of the axles. Plus, there is an electronically controlled rear differential.
But for the Chinese market (and possibly for a number of others) they will offer the Cadillac XT5 with a 2.0-liter turbo four. Its exact return is not called, but it is expected that it is in the region of 270 forces. Both engines are paired with a new 8-band automatic with electronically controlled shifting, which has reduced the level of noise and vibration.
What is the price
The production of the car started in the USA and China at the beginning of two thousand and sixteen, and at the beginning of summer the first cars should reach the Russian dealers of the brand. It was decided to supply only all-wheel drive modifications with an 8-speed automatic to us. The price of the new Cadillac XT5 2019 initially started at 2,990,000 rubles for the basic version, and the better equipped Luxury version costs 3,690,000 rubles today. A top-end Platinum car will cost 4,400,000 rubles.
The novelty was equipped with diode head optics, an electric trunk lid with remote control, wireless charging for smartphones, an all-round viewing system and a rear-view camera with image output to the salon mirror.
