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 - Rigid load-bearing body with subframes, fully independent front and rear suspension with aluminum wishbones (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 take a step lower than the big one Cadillac Escalade, but it will be just as well equipped. The SRX combines excellent performance characteristics, beautiful design and luxury interior.
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.
The Cadillac SRX is available with all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. The package includes many different auxiliary systems and self-adjusting suspension. Technological Excellence all-wheel drive transmission Cadillac SRX are aimed at achieving complete control over the road in any weather conditions. The transmission distributes torque in a 50/50 ratio between the front and rear wheels, which allows for the most efficient use of axle load distribution. Anti-slip system operating at any speed and support 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 a roomy trunk and a spacious interior. 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 began selling the SRX with a completely new interior trim - 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 new form and markup. 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 Sport version this car will be available with a choice of 18-inch or 20-inch wheels.
The Cadillac SRX is assembled at the Lansing Grand River plant.
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 the features of a sports car and the refined, graceful forms of an expensive executive car.
The design has become more refined 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 leather seats with electric drives, a supply of space in the legs and above the head, as well as a small loading height of the luggage compartment.
Bearing body structure crossover SRX provides the lowest noise level among cars this class. The company's engineers have made significant progress in reducing the noise level from the power unit, exhaust system and transmission, from the aerodynamic components of the body, as well as from rolling wheels on the road surface. The developers also reduced noise through the use of a soundproofing front panel, special floor treatment and the use of a laminated 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 a maximum power of 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. System includes an electronically controlled limited slip differential latest generation(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 transferred to one single wheel, which allows you to raise handling on a winding and slippery road to a whole new level.

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 to protect the body from destruction during side impacts, and also ensures that its integrity is maintained during frontal collisions and rear impacts.
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, safety pedal block, 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.
The 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 loadspace 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 backdoor with electric drive and programmable lifting height.

To optimize the tax burden in 2014, the engine was derated to 249 hp, but the torque remained unchanged. Another V-shaped gasoline engine that is available in Russia is also a unit with 6 cylinders and a volume of 3.6 liters. It is part of the VVT V6 DI Direct Injection line and will be used exclusively in top versions. The power of the giant with 3.6 liters is 234 kW, which means 318 hp. at 6800 rpm.

Test drive video new Cadillac SRX.
"Cadillac" finally pleased motorists with its new model 2014 SRX lineup. This bright crossover, which combines luxury and sophistication, inherited from previous generations best performance premium class, 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 made it possible to increase 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. The volume of the 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, new car bought a more luxurious 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 rather inconvenient, since, being in extreme positions, it overlaps 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.
New Cadillac model The SRX is equipped with effective airbags, both front and side mounted. There are also side curtains. The developers also took care of child seats, for which there are special clips. Door locks automatically lock when driving. 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
Technical side Cadillac car The SRX has been improved by suspension with shock absorbers having electronic control. 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 horsepower. Cadillac supplies cars equipped exclusively with automatic transmission, considering assembling cars with mechanics "bad taste". For those who like a more powerful car, the manufacturers promise to release a Cadillac next year with a powerful 2.8-liter turbine engine. All cars will be equipped with automatic transmission with sports 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 additional security installed electric handbrake. The driver will also be pleased with the many 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 in full force, 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.
Powerful brake system will rightfully receive positive reviews 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 successful implementation car in Russia. And for this, as you know, advertising alone is not enough. Tempting for a Russian car enthusiast should be not only the technical parameters of the car, 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 also be easily obtained, and service centers for servicing such cars would establish 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. Things were a little worse with frontal collision. Here, the car has already scored only four stars out of a possible five.
Nevertheless Cadillac manufacturers have high hopes for successful sale new generation car in our country. 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 machines. 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.
