All owner reviews about the Cadillac SRX I. Prices and equipment Cadillac SRX

Good day to all!

The first impression is power! I have long wanted a car with a snarling eight under the hood. But somehow it didn't work out. Even the Grand Cherokee came with an inline-six. After the sale of Chirka, I began to ride on my wife's Corsa. An excellent machine, but the attitude towards the men behind the wheel of this pepelats is ambiguous. Rather unequivocal — a loser, could not make money on a normal car, and therefore it is necessary for him to point to his place. In general, I was tired of butting with all sorts of dudes on the “correct” dozens and Lacetti and decided to buy a car for myself, so that both the size and the dynamics did not raise questions. Watched Trailblazer and Cadillac — naturally two big differences. Cadillac already with a restyled interior, six-speed automatic transmission, telecom and other joys like electric doors and factory xenon. Chevy bribed simplicity, but this is the case when simplicity just rolls over. Having taken a ride on both cars, I realized that Chevy does not go after the Cadillac, and the V8 is cool, against the R6 (we are considering this particular case).

Strengths:

• Dynamics
• Comfort
• Anti-theft

Weak sides:

• Weak brakes
• Eating a lot in the city
• Some parts are not cheap

Review Cadillac SRX 3.6 V6 (Cadillac SERIX) 2004

So, we needed a bigger car than the old Hover. After much searching and deliberation was chosen Cadillac SRX V6 264 hp, 2004 release, was purchased with a mileage of 64,000 km.

Wide, long (5 meters), seven-seat, all-wheel drive permanent (not like Hover, to turn it on - you need to stop to turn it off - also without a differential), the quality of the finish after Hover blankets and felt is simply stunning, leather electric seats with lateral support, with memory, the leather on the seats feels like the skin of a baby, a manual Tiptronic box, the interior is all rubberized, soft, just lovely, the noise is at its best, the engine is not audible at all, as if 1.6 has started, but as soon as you press the gas - immediately noble and beautifully responds, 11 airbags, separate climate, top quality music, built-in subwoofer and all sorts of other nice baubles.

The machine causes only delight. I moved from Hover to Cadillac as if from a tractor to a bicycle, the control is so easy and convenient that you don’t even feel that you are driving such a huge crossover, pressing the gas the car just takes off, accelerating to hundreds in 7.8 seconds, when overtaking the machine blunts a little, at first thinks, then shoots), the car does not prowl on the road, enters into turns confidently, not like Hover — is about to roll over). The car is good, it does not ride on you, as it was before it, but you are on it). I tried off-road, it rides confidently, but not like the Hover, it was framed and made for off-road, here Kadi loses, and it’s a pity to drive him through the mud. You drive like a king, everyone looks around, you can feel the high cost and quality.

Strengths:

Weak sides:

• It is inconvenient to get in and out of the car, you will get all your trousers dirty out of habit, very wide
• Transport tax 39,600 rubles per year
• Consumption average 19 liters 92nd

Review Cadillac SRX 4.6 V8 AWD (Cadillac SERIX) 2004 Part 5

Greetings to car enthusiasts in general and crossover users in particular. This, as you already understood, is not the first review of Cadillac and, I hope, not the last. This unit has been in my possession for the 8th (eighth) year and, as is usually the case, over time, any machine begins to absorb banknotes with even greater willingness. SRX is no exception. On the odometer 130,000 km, I decided to take the car to the OD (official dealer) for diagnostics of all systems. I must say, looking ahead, that I took her to my man, who had no desire to somehow influence the increase in the estimate of my expenses. Before diagnosing, I drew the attention of the masters to the following shortcomings: a creak in the front of the suspension (on the right), a rumble on the left at speed, frequent operation of the rear shock absorber pump (they are pumped in order to keep the clearance regardless of the car load), Jackie-Chan (Check Engine) is constantly on (the car is frankly stupid when you start using it at a ragged pace - my suspicion is about catalysts, the same problem has previously manifested itself).

The OD checked the car (preliminary estimate http://i077.radikal.ru/1205/dc/7f0f6c7ad27f.jpg) and issued an invoice for nearly 250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand) rubles. A very “pleasant” amount, given that the cost of my car in the secondary market is no more than 450-500,000 (four hundred and fifty - five hundred thousand) rubles. Such a good repairman for half the car, it should be noted! It is clear that the prices for work and spare parts are overstated, but nevertheless my expenses amounted to 150,000 (one hundred and fifty) thousand rubles 00 kopecks (spare parts + work) from an UNOFFICIAL. True, it should be noted that in this estimate for replacement 1 (one) rear shock absorber (GM allows). But it’s also clear to the “hedgehog” that if one died, then the second one would die very soon, therefore he replaced both. If you count at official prices, then calmly add another 50,000 (fifty thousand) rubles to the estimate, that is, already 300,000 (three hundred thousand), as they say, who is more :)

What had to be replaced:

Review Cadillac SRX 3.6 V6 AWD (Cadillac SERIX) 2008

So, just over a year ago, my father decided to change cars! There were many different cars, which I will not write about, because. the list is quite long! He always liked the SRX, but before he began to study it closely, he thought that American cars were godless fuel guzzlers, with zero reliability, expensive maintenance and explosive and poorly made interiors! But after studying, his opinion changed! The only thing that really stopped him was the engine power - 255hp, it was these fucking 5 horses that seriously increased the transport tax, which scared him very much !!! But when he first saw the car closer through the eyes of the buyer, and not passing by along the street, and when he got into the salon, all his fears and doubts were dispelled in a second, he no longer doubted !!!

Next, it was necessary to find a decent car as. Looking for a car for 2-3 weeks, traveled a bunch of salons and private traders, something was not right and stopped from buying! As a result, we found a car in one of the salons of the dealer, which had just been traded in! Everything arranged, except for a bright interior, but deciding that it was not such a minus, because. father's annual mileage is a maximum of 10,000 km., left an advance payment! The next day, they made a full diagnosis, the verdict is as follows: replacing the front and preferably rear brake discs with pads and replacing the anti-roll bar bushings! All! The rest of the car is perfect! We paid the rest and the car was taken away! My father had joy, like a child, still, I liked the car for a long time and here he is driving, one might say, a dream car! Parts were immediately bought on the way home! The prices are quite reasonable: front brake discs 5000r\2pcs, pads 1850r, rear brake discs 6200r\2pcs, pads 2100r. (high-quality non-original Raybestos), bushings 700 rubles per pair (GM).

Strengths:

• Appearance
• Salon
• Reliability
• Charisma!

Weak sides:

• Demanding on the quality of fuel!

Review Cadillac SRX 4.6 V8 AWD (Cadillac SERIX) 2004 Part 4

Greetings to all ... Eh, I haven’t picked up an ax for a long time ... Ugh, you ... a pen :) Of course, a pen :)

So, this will be our 4th part :) I hope not the last :)

There are already 115 thousand km on the odometer. The car as a whole pleases, but in particular it sometimes frustrates ... Because miracles do not happen, every third year of ownership results in a decent amount of maintenance. Every three years: you have to change the front and rear shock absorbers, in a good way, and hubs (more on that, by the way, later), engine mounts, radiator. And this translates into a nasty amount of money.

Strengths:

• Anti-theft
• Cheap service compared to competitors

Weak sides:

• Fuel consumption
• Four-wheel drive passes in deep snow and on ice
• Difficult to sell

Review Cadillac SRX 3.6 V6 AWD (Cadillac SERIX) 2007

So, in June 2008, the time came to change the previous VOLVO XC90 car (the warranty was ending, and the car proved to be too expensive to maintain) for a similar premium class CAV. After much deliberation and comparison of technical characteristics with the cost of maintenance, the CADILLAC SRX 3.6i was chosen. When comparing the quality of work of managers of the sales department and the provision of service, additional. equipment, I made a choice in favor of the company ********.

After receiving the dream car, I began to feel all the "charms" of owning it: a month later, the ABS and ECP malfunction sensors lit up - I discovered the malfunction myself, the brake fluid level was constantly falling. The arrival at the car service caused an acute attack of deja vu - a well-known, dear and absolutely useless AVTOVAZ service station. The car stood on the lift for about 6 hours. After finding out the cause from the repair worker together with the service station acceptance master, it turned out that he simply did not find the causes of the malfunction. Then, by joint efforts, it was decided to apply excess pressure to the brake reservoir. The results were simply pleasing: liquid oozed from the rear left caliper. It took about 11-12 days to fix the problem (I, a person who requires constant movement for work, was left without a car) and constant calls to the service station ******** with reminders. When asked about the long troubleshooting time, the service station referred to the delivery time of GM spare parts.

Strengths:

• Probably a large and comfortable suspension .... brutality

Weak sides:

• There are many of them ... small ones, like mosquitoes, they just got it, large ones surprised me, like the attitude of the manufacturer ...

Review Cadillac SRX 4.6 V8 (Cadillac SERIX) 2004

It is very difficult to write a review given that in the USA the service, prices, condition of cars, etc. looks like a completely different color. Therefore, I will write about the car as much as I understood it myself.

From the first days, I was surprised that after driving a long distance of 560 ml (stopping to pee, smoke) for the first time in my life, I did not remember what fatigue driving is. The slight rustling of the engine at a speed of 80 ml (with a heart rate of 1900 rpm) suggested that the engine was not started at all. Noise isolation, ride comfort, BOSE acoustics - all 5 points, despite the fact that the car has decent bast shoes Front 235/60 R18, rear 255/55 R18. The panoramic view and slight swaying just evoke pleasant feelings.

The quality of the interior is fulfilled with all whimsical requests. The only thing is that the skin could not be as elastic (for example, as in BMW or Infiniti). The biggest drawback in the interior, which was very difficult to get used to, is the supply of washing liquid to the rear window (the control button for supplying liquid and starting the wipers is located on the ceiling with one interior lighting panel). Since I live in the city of "rains", it is very inconvenient.

Review Cadillac SRX 4.6 V8 AWD (Cadillac SERIX) 2004 Part 3

Greetings, dear reader. This will be part 3 of my story.

4 years have passed since the acquisition of this device (the car was produced in 04, but it was purchased completely new from OD in 05). During this time, managed to hit almost 85 thousand km. Mostly in Moscow and the Moscow suburbs. Not much has changed since my last post. The car with appetite absorbs AI-95 in a volume of at least 19.5-25 liters for a good 100 kilometers. But the quality of our fuel still did not disregard such a fragile part of the exhaust system as the notorious catalyst. There are exactly two of them in the car, and so for 80,000 runs one of the two catalysts ordered to live. The machine made it known about its illness with characteristic symptoms: the good-natured Chek Engine caught fire, and the cravings also disappeared ... like 325 horses according to the passport, but they are more like ponies than thoroughbred horses.

I had to treat the machine ... but since the warranty ended for another 3 years of operation, there was no hope for preferential treatment for this ailment. Having learned the price of treatment from OD, he was unpleasantly surprised by the number of zeros and, in order not to injure the psyche already exhausted by Narzan, he took his horse to the unofficials for treatment. Thank God, there are plenty to choose from, and in the country of victorious capitalism there are still people who not only take money in freely convertible currency, but also give hope for warranty troubleshooting within 60,000 km from the date of installation of universal catalysts. Yes, you heard right ... there was a desk that installs Canadian universal catalysts and gives a guarantee not for 2 weeks, like most, but for 60,000 km. As I was told with the left index finger raised high, ugh, or the right hand, which doesn't matter, the hands - "We didn't have back movers." Well, after praying, the machine was cured and I forgot about this problem with her. By the way, this is a common misfortune that befalls everyone without exception on this run.

Strengths:

• Smooth ride as before
• Good dynamics in a wide rev range, as before
• Always enough power
• Flawless automatic transmission

Weak sides:

You have to put up with them, there are no miracles - 2 tons and a V8 with a volume of 4565 cc do their job:

• Fuel consumption
• Accordingly, our draconian taxes of 150 rupees per 1 horse

Review Cadillac SRX 4.6 V8 AWD (Cadillac SERIX) 2004 Part 2

Ownership period: 2 years, 11 months PART 1. Bought the car in 2005. Bought, as they say, at random. Neither on the Internet nor in magazines there were reviews of real owners. Considered in parallel BMW X5, Infiniti FX45 and Porshe Cayenne. At that time, Infiniti was not officially represented in Russia, BMW turned out to be too expensive in itself and in maintenance. In addition, this car is a leader among thefts.

Porsche turned out to be even more expensive and enjoys even more stable demand from car thieves. It was decided to look at the Cadillac. Before this American, I had mostly Japanese, so I was somewhat biased towards the Americans, believing that they were unreliable and ate too much gasoline. Some of it was later confirmed. Came to the salon and was fascinated by the appearance of the SRX. The car stood out from the stream of competitors with its extraordinary appearance, chopped forms, shaving style. True, when I looked at the interior decoration, I was annoyed. There is too much resonant and cheap to the touch plastic inside. It is clear that each car has its own advantages and disadvantages, because this disadvantage is more than paid off by the engine power and the pressure with which the car, biting into the road, shoots forward: at least from zero, at least from a hundred, at least from 150 km / h. And the interior was transformed thanks to a set of wood trims.

Strengths:

Weak sides:

In general, the car is balanced and at the same time special. There are no particular minuses - sometimes only a little big - you get dirty out of habit. Consumption is normal for such a buzz - all such machines eat the same if not more (with a power of more than 300 hp). But this is not the same money at all, if you compare the cost of a car - for 3 years the savings are still more)

The car is not banal — like everyone else, the brand in shataty — took 3rd place in terms of reliability a couple of years ago. Maybe this is not true, but certainly not a sypychayasya machine. The service is normal if you do not find fault (and where is it perfect?). I recommend doing a test = drives, or better, take a ride from your friends. I rode a regular Range-Sport, but it wasn't mine. And so fanatic from the car ...

Strengths:

Weak sides:

Good day to all!

The first impression is power! I have long wanted a car with a snarling eight under the hood. But somehow it didn't work out. Even the Grand Cherokee came with an inline-six. After the sale of Chirka, I began to ride on my wife's Corsa. An excellent machine, but the attitude towards the men behind the wheel of this pepelats is ambiguous. Rather, it is unequivocal - a loser, he could not make money on a normal car, and therefore he needs to be pointed to his place. In general, I'm tired of butting with all sorts of dudes on the "correct" dozens and Lacetti and decided to buy a car for myself, so that both the size and the dynamics did not raise questions. Watched Trailblazer and Cadillac - naturally two big differences. Cadillac already with a restyled interior, six-speed automatic transmission, telecom and other joys like electric doors and factory xenon. Chevy bribed simplicity, but this is the case when simplicity just rolls over. Having driven on both cars, I realized that Chevy does not go after Cadillac, and V8 - cool, against R6 (we are considering this particular case).

In general, I took. I paid a little money (everything is relative), about the same as for the 2003 X5. At first, just enjoyed the acceleration and comfort. The engine growled, as it should be, the suspension is soft, but collected, there is silence in the cabin. It felt like a BMW in a 39 body, only somehow more solid. Fuel consumption on the highway on a cruise is 10-12 liters at a speed of 110-120 (less than 1500 rpm). The average consumption in the summer is about 17 liters of the 92nd, the consumption in the city is 20-22, if you don’t tumble, if you tumble, then more than 25 liters. But it was known that way, Oku did not buy tea. 4.8 should eat and eat with appetite))

The second impression is a cart! It just creaked almost immediately. The brake discs creaked. they are weak and not ready to slow down a heavy and powerful car, shock absorbers and springs creaked, a huge sunroof creaked. All these misfortunes did not fall on me 2 months after the purchase. And this creak annoyed me incredibly. Some kind of crap turns out - it looks like a decent car (in statics), but how it goes - write wasted. Moreover, everything is buzzing at speed, but pushing in traffic jams and driving through yards provoked squeaks of different tonality. Began to fight with squeaks. Changed discs and pads all around.

Also a curious fact - there is one warehouse for spare parts, but the sellers are different. And everyone breaks his price, depending on his own impudence and greed. The spread is from 15,000 to 21,000 for a set of discs and pads. I decided to take somewhere for 15,000, and the sellers tell me that the one who offered me 21,000 each took the parts in the warehouse and does not give them back. It even became funny to me - I say, figure it out for yourself. As a result, I took it elsewhere for 13,000. Work on a specialized, but not official service - about 1000-1200 r/h cheap.

It began to crackle when turning the steering wheel. At first they sinned on the rail, but then they sentenced the SHRUS. I took a non-original for 3000 rubles (original - 6000). Installed. At the first intersection I decided to drown, pressed the trigger, something rang loudly and the car stopped. It turned out that the new CV joint was pulled out of the drive. I brought the car back to the service, where everything was put in place for me in half an hour. What it was - a clumsy CV joint or clumsy masters - I don’t know, everything settled down later, but the sediment remained ... In general, the squeaks won, it became joyful again.

Third impression - shock absorbers! I'm "lucky". I caught almost all the "highs" of the owners of SRXov))) Ie. discs and dampers. They also rumored to have troubles with converters and a rear suspension compressor, but the original shock absorbers were enough for me. Each costs 23,000 (I found the cheapest ones, they say there are even cheaper ones, but I had to wait 2 months). As a result, 46,000 and 5,000 replacement. Although everything is relative - pneuma on Audi is even more expensive, on the new Allroad at 45,000 per rack, they also change in pairs. So he got off lightly.

The car didn’t break down anymore, although when it got colder it started to get worse, Akum almost didn’t hold a charge. Along the way, and Akum was old (5 years) and electrical glitches were present. There were several times that the car for no reason did not want to start. You just drive all day, everything is fine, and at some point the car stops responding to the key. Just silent. You jump around, press the buttons, open the hood, say a couple of mantras and start up again))) Along the way, the problems were in an abnormal signaling and label, which were also already tired, and I didn’t know the secret of their installation.

As a result, I bought my wife a new Astra, but for an objective reason she could not ride it. And I began to ride the Astra, and the Cadillac was sad in the yard. And I was sad about it. And for the sake of everyone's fun, I decided to sell the Cadillac.

Fourth impression - sale! Cadillac is a special car. Either a fan or a fan of cheap show-offs can buy. I'm probably both the one and the other in one bottle. We had to find the same person. And he was found! But not at once. First, a serious man came to watch the new Ku7 with a driver. To my logical question, and what the hell is Kadila for him, he logically answered - he took a new GL, but it takes 4 months to wait, some decent tin is needed to turn over and drain. I even felt sorry for Cadilka! I was not ready to sell like that, because in general he was not very bad and didn’t let me down too much. But there was a second person who was terribly tired of riding an old aster and enduring humiliation from neighbors downstream. He was really a little boring, but because. there were no other buyers, you had to be polite and courteous, even after asking to go to the fifth service, because. somehow he did not really trust the previous 4th (fortunately, everything is at his expense).

As a result, the car was sold. What is in the dry residue. The car is good, if you do not demand the impossible from it, understanding the specifics of this car. And the specifics are as follows - this is a large and powerful family station wagon, which is cramped in the city and its element - the track. Everything is cool there. And acceptable consumption, and confident overtaking, and a comfortable drive. Those. a car for traveling with the family or for those who need to travel a lot for work over long distances. In this situation, the car is a joy!

The mid-size crossover Cadillac SRX in the Base configuration is equipped with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and a 3-liter 249-horsepower V6 engine, the torque of which is felt every time you press the gas pedal. The powerful powertrain is complemented by a 6-speed automatic transmission and a hydraulic braking system with ventilated disc brakes.

Decent for a reliable Cadillac SRX price suggests the presence of many features that facilitate the process of driving. For example, the electronic StabiliTrak system with the possibility of dynamic stability control, as well as the TRC traction control system, provide complete control over the road in any conditions.

The ideal microclimate for the driver and passenger of the front row of seats is guaranteed by dual-zone climate control and an automatic air quality sensor with the option to turn on recirculation. The SRX features a floor console with gear selector, built-in armrest and 2-tier storage for ease of entry and shifting.

2017 Base vehicles come with a state-of-the-art 8-speaker Bose Premium Sound System with Active Noise Cancellation. The price also includes the Smart-Key car access system, which allows you to unlock the front and rear doors, as well as the trunk lid using the unlock button on the key fob.

Top

The all-wheel drive premium crossover Cadillac SRX in the Top package is equipped with a choice of a 3.6-liter 308-horsepower V6 engine, or a 3-liter base engine with a capacity of 249 hp.

The attractive price of the new cpx includes an innovative lane departure warning system with a vibration alarm in the driver's seat, as well as a forward collision warning system, which is especially important if the car is equipped with cruise control. The status SRX also has a keyless entry system. The owner can easily unlock the front, rear doors and trunk lid without pressing the door unlock button on the Smart-Key key fob.

The navigation system in the Cadillac SRX pairs well with the 10-speaker Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround Sound system. The menu in Russian and the built-in package of maps of Russian cities, combined with voice and text route building, makes traveling in the company of SRX pleasant and carefree.

The official Cadillac dealer in Moscow offers for ordering the Top version of the CPX, equipped with an entertainment system for passengers in the rear row of seats. A DVD player with Blu-ray playback, as well as two monitors built into the headrests of the front seats with wireless headphones and a remote control, make your stay in the crossover cabin a real pleasure. Moreover, second-row passengers have the opportunity to control the climate control (heating) of the rear seats using a special console.

The interior of the Cadillac SRX is optionally decorated with rare Choco Sapele wood in brown or Raven Sapele in black. At the same time, the steering wheel with three spokes and a heating function can be sheathed in leather or made of wood.

The Cadillac SRX is the best-selling crossover of this manufacturer both in its homeland, in the USA, and in our country. In 2012, the upcoming transformation of the model was announced, and last year the new Cadillac SRX was presented at the New York Auto Show. The crossover in a new guise reached Russia quite recently.

History of the Cadillac SRX

Cadillac SRX - a truly solid American crossover

Cadillac SRX was born ten years ago, back in 2004. Over the next two years, the crossover managed to become one of the best-selling cars in its class and was nominated twice for the Car of the Year title. In 2009, the second generation of the popular crossover saw the light, which became no less popular than its predecessor.

- Affordable and well-equipped cars. You will find a detailed description of them in our article.

The second generation was created on the basis of the Provoq concept car, which in turn is based on an all-wheel drive platform called GM Theta Premium. In the spring of 2012, GM announced its intention to update the Cadillac, as a result of which a restyled version of the SRX crossover appeared a year later.

The new Cadillac SRX has been transformed both outside and inside. Features of technical equipment deserve a separate article, so we have to dwell on the main differences between the third generation of the crossover and GM.

Appearance Cadillac SRX

Externally, the crossover is also monolithic and aggressive. Faceted slots on a huge false radiator grille are now dressed in chrome, in the very center there is a large emblem of the company. The front and rear bumpers have become smoother and more expressive. Now, a compact air intake slit flaunts in front, on the sides of which there are fog lights in a chrome trim. The light-alloy aluminum wheels with a diameter of 20 inches have also been transformed.

On the side, the Cadillac stands out with large arch radii and air intakes on the front fenders, which, by the way, now have their own backlight. The roof is slightly sloping, domed. The doors have a high sill line and fairly compact glass. From below, the crossover is covered with black plastic protection. The body also acquired another color option - Xenon Blue Metallic.

The image of the crossover is complemented by large vertical headlights with adaptive bi-xenon and running lights. From the front, the Cadillac SRX looks not just brutal, but assertive, even harsh. The dimensions of the crossover are 4837 mm long, 1910 mm wide and 1669 mm high with 179 mm ground clearance.

Salon Cadillac has changed much more. It is as solid as before and looks very expensive. The center console has been freshened up, a large multi-function display with USB ports and an SD card slot has appeared on the dashboard. The steering wheel has been heated. There are also control buttons for the CUE information system, which is installed on the center console. The system allows you to set up an audio system with Bose acoustics (with eight speakers) or Bose 5.1 for 10 speakers, adjust climate control. CUE is also equipped with navigation and displays a picture from the rear view camera.

The driver's seat will comfortably accommodate a person of almost any build. All adjustments and settings are at arm's length, everything is located ergonomically and conveniently. The steering column can be adjusted in depth and height, you can even adjust the pedal assembly. The driver's seat has eight-way adjustment (with dual memory), adjustable lumbar support, heating and even ventilation, though only in the top trim levels. Heating is optionally available for the second row of seats.

I would especially like to note the soundproofing of the Cadillac. Both modern soundproofing materials and multilayer double-glazed windows are used here. Between the rows of seats there is a system of structural barriers that prevent noise from under the car from entering the cabin.

The second row of American-style seats is comfortable and spacious, even the three of us can sit quite comfortably. If desired, you can order a panoramic roof with electric drives for the sunroof and sunblind. However, this solution is suitable only for true connoisseurs of comfort. There are many options for interior trim, so choosing the color and material "for yourself" is not difficult.

The cargo compartment of the Cadillac SRX has a volume of 844 liters, and with the rear seat backs down, this figure increases to 1730 liters. The tailgate is equipped with an electric drive, and the angle of its opening can be changed.

Of the new safety features, we note the monitoring systems for blind spots, lane departure control, and a front and rear collision warning system.

Specifications Cadillac SRX

In Russia, there are two engine options for the Cadillac SRX. The base engine has a volume of 3 liters and produces power up to 272 horsepower. This V-6 peaks at 7000 rpm and has excellent acceleration dynamics. After restyling, the engine became somewhat more economical and not as whimsical to the quality of gasoline as it was before.

According to official figures, fuel consumption is about 13.6 liters in the city, 8.6 liters on the highway, and about 11.2 liters in the combined cycle. The maximum speed with such an engine is limited to 210 km / h, acceleration to 100 takes only 8.5 seconds. This year, the engine was slightly derated (power reduced to 249 horses) while maintaining the same torque. This was done to reduce the tax burden, which, needless to say, was too big even for Cadillac owners.

Another engine option for Russia is a 3.6-liter V-shaped gasoline six. The motor produces as much as 318 horsepower at 6800 rpm. At 2400 rpm, a torque of 360 Nm is achieved. It is not surprising that with such data, the crossover is very, very dynamic: it accelerates to hundreds in 8.1 seconds, despite the fact that the mass of the SRX is two and a half tons. Naturally, fuel consumption also increased to 16.3 liters in the city, 8.8 liters on the highway and 11.5 liters in mixed mode.

The Cadillac SRX is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission with an all-wheel drive system and the ability to manually shift. A sport mode is also available. All-wheel drive, by the way, began to distribute torque differently and is now supplemented with a self-locking differential.

The engineers did not change the suspension. Here is the same MacPherson strut in front and a multi-link design in the back. The suspension adapts to road conditions and is completely independent. All wheels are equipped with ventilated brake discs with drying and a warning system about malfunctions. The braking system is complemented by a variety of electronic assistants, such as ABS (4-channel, by the way), BAS, TRC, electric parking brake. Cadillac is equipped with power steering with a variable coefficient of effort.

Safety in the new SRX is top notch. In addition to the standard front airbags, here we will find side airbags and side curtain airbags that protect the rear passengers as well. All seat belts are three-point, door locks are programmable.

Prices and equipment Cadillac SRX

There are 2 configuration options for the Cadillac SRX: Base and Top. The price of the basic configuration starts from 2,059,000 rubles. For this money, you get a crossover with a 249-horsepower engine, dual-zone climate control, CUE system, Bose acoustics, all-wheel drive and independent suspension. Finishing, as already mentioned, is only of high quality, so you should not worry about comfort: although the equipment is basic, the crossover is premium.

But the top-end equipment is charged to the maximum. Both petrol engines are available to choose from. Many useful options have been added to the Base equipment, here are just a few of them: three-zone climate control, leather trim, keyless entry, Russian-language navigation, a rear-seat entertainment system and many others. The price of this configuration of the Cadillac SRX starts at 2,489,000 and 2,590,000 rubles for different types of engines.

Despite its considerable age, Cadillac looks quite fresh and stylish to this day. It is as if carved from a single piece of granite or metal: the silhouette of the crossover is athletic and muscular. Judge for yourself: even 20-inch wheels are buried in huge wheel arches.

The interior of the SRX, of course, is angular, but this angularity is even elegant and masculine in its own way. A new display has appeared on the dashboard, on which you can display up to three different indicators at the same time. With active driving, you can inadvertently touch the function buttons, but this does not happen all that often. USB connectors, of which there are two, can also be used to charge smartphones, which is very, very convenient.

The Cadillac User Experience (CUE) has a smartphone-like desktop where you can rearrange apps to your liking. The multimedia system, by the way, supports gesture control, so you can “swipe” a track from one to another, you can also enlarge the navigator map with two fingers. The sensor, however, is somewhat thoughtful, but the outdated processor is to blame. The center console has also become touch-sensitive, from which climate control and seat ventilation are adjusted.

There is enough space inside the Cadillac, you can get settled in the way that suits you. The seats have good lateral support, which is very useful when cornering vigorously. Spacious and in the rear seats, there is enough space in front of the knees. The entertainment system monitors are mounted in the backs of the front seats, there is a climate control unit. Bose acoustics, by the way, in addition to its main task, is also engaged in active noise reduction, so that extraneous sounds in the cabin are almost inaudible.

The engine of the Cadillac is quite powerful, but this power is somewhat "eaten up" by a not too quick "automatic". Even in Sport mode, the box thinks for a long time before upshifting. But when the gear is up, the car acquires excellent acceleration, clearly not feeling a lack of power. The handling of the SRX is also excellent. The independent suspension confidently enters the turns and holds the trajectory perfectly, which is very strange for American cars prone to “rolling”. Road irregularities are smoothed out well, asphalt grain is not felt at all, but significant irregularities are still felt in the cabin, but this is not particularly annoying.

What happened in the end? GM presented us with a solid crossover with excellent suspension, a powerful engine and decent handling. If you get used to slow down sensors, then the Cadillac will not have any disadvantages at all, so we hope that in the future this shortcoming will be eliminated. Restylings, as you can see, only benefit the American car. The latest improvement, for example, brought many additional options and systems that not all classmates have. It's also nice that, on average, the Cadillac SRX is cheaper than its competitors from the big German three by about half a million.

Competitors

It just so happened that often when choosing a Cadillac, buyers compare it with another premium crossover - the Lexus RX 350. Although the cars are similar, they are designed to satisfy different needs, which we will discuss further. The appearance of crossovers is clearly contrasted: a rectangular and hewn Cadillac against a rounded and smoothed Lexus. Vertical overlays for headlights versus traditional horizontal lighting technology. It's a matter of taste, there's nothing you can do about it. But almost everyone admits that in profile, the SRX looks fresher and more muscular than its competitor.

The Lexus salon literally breathes luxury and sophistication, it's hard to even imagine who might feel uncomfortable here. Here, even on the screen of the multimedia system, there are no fingerprints left, so from this alone you can get an impression of the quality of the interior design of the crossover. Cadillac is a little different again. We've already talked about the overall chiselling and interior space of the SRX, so you can imagine its contrast against the sophistication of the Lexus. The comfort and convenience of Cadillac is also not to be occupied, and for long-distance trips, the crossover from GM is no less convenient than the Lexus. However, the leather trim on the RX looks more expensive, and the driver's seat has a fully electronic adjustment and more different settings. So, in a Lexus, the front seats can be both cooled and heated.

The Cadillac is generally cheaper than the Lexus, which is undoubtedly a plus, but even with all the additional options, the SRX will not be more comfortable than the RX 350.

The Lexus engine is somewhat more powerful and has more torque, while being somewhat more economical and environmentally friendly than the power plants on the Cadillac. The Lexus rides faster and accelerates out of corners more actively, and the suspension does not feel bumps as much. But it’s more interesting to go through a series of turns and generally drive along the highway in a Cadillac. You will always stand out from the flow of cars, while maintaining dynamics and passion.

Oddly enough, the Lexus looks too perfect, so someone might enjoy the drive of driving a Cadillac. A pleasant ratio of ride and handling dynamics hides shortcomings in appearance, and the filling of the SRX, whatever you say, is simply magnificent.
