I’d like an XT5 with V6, AWD, and 20” wheels. I don’t need all the latest technology. Smooth ride. Reliable (according CR). Nice interior and features. Perfectly adequate for me.
Hi Joe, After your review, we bought the XT5 Premium Luxury. Have not been disappointed, thank you for the excellent reviews. Keep up the good work and I must mention the outstanding camera work. Look forward to more of your reviews.
I rented one when I went to TX. It had the V6 & I loved it. I’ve wanted one every since. Comfortable, great visibility, well built & quiet. I sure hated it to return it before hopping a flight ack home.
Funny you mention the visibility. I test drove one of these and loved everything except the rear visibility. In all honesty I thought it was one of the most difficult SUVs to see out of that I have ever driven...
I enjoyed your video. I just traded in my 2014 SRX for a 2020 premium luxury AWD V-6 AND I AM IN LOVE. I loved ♥ my SRX but this new one is beautiful. Ride is sweet and all the tech is wonderful. I am not sorry about the swap
Just sold my 2014 CTS 3.6 AWD, and traded in my wife’s 2012 SRX 3.6 FWD, for a 21 Premium Luxury XT5 V6 AWD. Rides better than either of those, and is quiet. I absolutely hated the Run Flats on my CTS. But the CTS handled as good as my 99 Corvette C5.
I have a 2017 XT5. One thing you didn't mention, I'm 6'2", 300+ LBS. For anybody my size this is the easiest car to get in or out of. I've owned BMWs and Mercedes. On lease this is my forth Cadillac and it's the finest car I've driven. Nothing beats the Cadillac ride, period. I am waiting for the Lyriq with great anticipation.
It's good to see that XT 5 is still maintaining that old styling. I know it's time to move on with the new Escalade and XT 6 design. But the feeling of Old Nostalgia is still priceless. Awesome review buddy 👍.
I drive a 2017 XT5. I love it. It's a little harsh and uncommonly loud for a luxury suv. But it's a Cadillac and I love it. FTR, if I were to get another suv of this size, it would definitely be an Audi. However, tbs, I would definitely not pass on upgrading to a XT6 or the Ecalade or maybe even the venerable CT6.
I am currently driving my 7th Cadillac. Switched from a couple of other labels but always came back to GM. It's really a good car. I like the way this guy describes the vehicle. I was gonna buy one any way
Your reviews are excellent! So thorough I went to drive the 2022 XT5 it's beautiful! Everything you said was true! Drove the 2022 Lexus 300 also nice car but for me the Cadillac gave luxury seating , good feeling ride less feel of the road it was amazing . I'm sold !!! Thank you 🎉
An 8" center screen is starting to look small when the center screens in other cars are in the double digits of at least 10.25 to 13.2" (in the 2021 Nautilus). I hope Cadillac increases that screen size for the next gen XT5
I like your reviews and trust your opinion, your review of the XT5 encouraged me into buying my XT5 Premium Luxury 3.6 , so happy ever after. Thank you.
I purchased a 2017 certified XT5 almost a year ago. Overall, I like the vehicle and I’ve owned many Volvos, Acura and Mercedes. My biggest gripe, the ride is a bit too stiff and road impact harshness good be better. Coarse road surfaces brings on many interior buzzes, not a impression of luxury. But hey, for 23k for used with 37k miles on it, I’m happy with my choice.
I love my Platinum. I use mine as a cruiser so the V6 works better for me. The turbo acceleration on the V4 is fun and impressive, but, again, the 6 works better for my needs.
I don't hate the car but OMG why is Cadillac in love with these turbo 4 cylinder engines. I keep my car over 10 years. These engines are not built to last that long so sorry I cant buy it.
I took this out for a cruise and it was a very comfortable ride. Your critiques are spot on as always but was a nice luxury ride. I'm still stuck between the Q5 and Mazda CX-5 GTR. If I could I'd get both. Until the next ride Joe. I will say the Heads-up display was much clearer & easier to see than the Mazda.
While I love my Mazda CX5, I'm ready to move up to something a little more luxurious but I don't want it bulky, like the Escalade. That's why I was looking at the XT6 (for the extra room). The XT5 would be like driving my car I think lol.
Another great review Joe. Watched all of your reviews before I bought my new Stinger. Also, I just about fell over laughing when you moved the rear seat back and forth🤣😂
I like this model, its the same platform as the 2016 Chevy Equinox. Very plush! The V6 is powerful for 3.6 ltrs. Yes, its expensive,but its a Cadillac!
I have actually been researching the Jaguar F-Pace.... which can be had with a Turbo4 or their new twincharged Inline6 for upcoming 2021 models. 2020 and before the supercharged V6 is available along with the Turbo4. No matter which engine option the F-Pace uses the acclaimed ZF-8speed tranny, used in so many euro offerings because of its relaibility and performance. Jag just updated their interior for 2021(model yet to be on the market) but even the current car on the market is nice inside. Dynamically I think the Jag would have a better sporty ride due to its rear wheel drive bias. Can't speak to prices, but slightly used low mile Jags have great depreciation so its not as expensive to obtain one as one may think. Also, the Jag is elegantly designed...good interior space and all. Grace, space & pace... old Jag motto.
Cadillac still retains the sleek and stately long angular lines of the 80s, 90s Seville, Fleetwood & DeVille. With such beautiful designs, they still struggle against other luxury Euro, Japanese brands.
Out of everything out there, I'd go XT4 or Team Telluride to be honest. When I looked at the XT5, I didn't see any benefits to spend the extra cash. I really wish the XT5 had more of the XT4 exterior styling too. If I wanted to double my debt, I'd go Denali and Escalade price ranges...but I don't want to lol
Its funny you mentioned the xt4 or telluride . We have our choice down to those two cars . Loved the xt4 but to expensive even after discounting the car 2200.00 plus another 1500 from Costco . . Also they were low balling my trade and they wouldnt really negotiate a better price . The Telluride gives you a lot more car for the money . It is much roomier more standard features in the higher trim levels and a better warranty . The also offered me 500 more for my trade than I asked for . I still think the xt4 is a nice car and probably would have bought it if the matched Kias offer on my trade . Going to give the Lincoln Corsair a look
Another excellent review, Joe. I might sound a bit rough, but I feel Cadillac is a worthless brand nowadays. Lincoln does American luxury better, Chevy and Dodge do American performance better. The last vehicles that I loved from Cadillac were the CTS-V coupe and wagon. Nowadays, I don’t associate the brand with anything in particular.
JOE ~ the good the bad & the ugly lol. this SUV has it all. I guess Caddie fans will like it, yeah the seats are nice & there are many good points to it, but it also leaves much to be desired, I feel like GM just kind of threw a bunch of left over parts together & said - look we have a new Caddie SUV. I don't hate it yet I'm not finding the nearest dealer either. it's a pro's vs. con's kind of SUV for me, unlike this incredible channel which is always at the top of my list of favorites. good report - tony
Grate Video, your presentation style is much better than many others cause you bring the facts from the car not some bla bla 👍👏 I think about to buy a Audi SQ5 Diesel. Joe, do you think there is a counterpart on the market? Best regards from Germany
@@RaitisRides wow, thank you Joe, for the warpspeed answer🙏 and for confirming my fiew of the SQ5. I'll buy a used model from 2015-2016, cause the actual Modell has no Exhaust pipes at the rear, which it must have 😉 👍👍👍 for your channel Best regards Holger
54.6K seems like a high ask for this lower version. Wouldn’t question this price point if it was for the 6cyl version. That said , and to answer your question, the Volvo XC-60 would be my first choice.
Wild thing is, it’s only a $1,000 jump from the 4 to the 6 cyl. Also noticed he says it’s a base luxury model but this is a premium luxury with a few packages added. Base has standard black “leather” and those rims aren’t an option
Not too bad a looker this Cadillac is. It still needs some more power and amenities to really go up against the juggernauts. Thanks for the review Joe!!!

The issue is the palisade does this job better for way less money, and before you tell me "oh but its a completely different class of vehicle blah blah blah" no, both are made on architectures stemmed from minivans, both are FWD based and both are based around NA V6's (although this one has a base 2.0t). The second row of the palisade has heated and cooled seats, and on the rare occasion you need more than 4 seats, instead of some uncomfortable 5th middle seat with no arm rest, you get a very comfortable third row seat with lots of space, and can comfortably seat 2, and emergency seat 3. Not to mention the more luxurious front end, the better tech suite, and the 10-15k price difference in favor of the palisade. The XT5 and XT6 are just weird looking chevys with a fat price tag. If you really want a GM crossover, either get the acadia/blazer for smaller or traverse for bigger, save the money you won't regret the money saved.
@@RaitisRides by 6 inches, and if size is a concern then you should be sticking to the XT4 (which is sadly nicer), as theres no real benefit of these larger 2 rows. Either stick to the smaller 2 rows or bump up to the 3 rows
I don't really think that is an armrest at 14:40 of the video. I think it's hard and sturdy because it's really just a pulldown cupholder to secure drinks for the people in the backseat. I guess it could serve as an armrest but I don't think that is the intended purpose.
For this price tag you got to have over 10 grand discount to make your money's worth. Even the Chevy Equinox 2.0T has more horse power (252 HP) than this one.
Yes it’s sad how far GM and Cadillac have fallen, granted they’ve been low quality vehicles for around 40 years now, here in the states they are known as “bum cars”
I have an XT5, to me, the Seats feel like Park Benches. I will admit they are better than my 2008 STS, but they are still almost as Hard as a Wooden Park Bench. I wish mine had the 18 inch wheels, the Ride would be a bit Cushier. Handling, it feels very top Heavy compared to the STS, and it is not very sure footed. My Friends BMW, which I dislike, does feel like it is Built a Lot more Sturdy, the XT5 feels and sounds Flimsy
Never really considering a Crossover SUV but since the rising prices of vehicles lately… I’m considering between XT5 or the Ford Edge. Thanks Raiti Rides‼️
@@issavibez394yup something under then Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW but more luxurious then Ford, Mazda, Honda = Lincoln(Ford), Lexus, Acura, Buick , GMC .
I have a 2018 that over 4 years nothing has gone wrong with it. Looking to upgrade to a 2021. Can't go wrong with the SUV, it handles amazingly.
I own the xt5 2019 and love it. Cadillac has done a great job and I'm now a customer for life
I have a 2023 XT5 Premium Luxury . I absolutely love it! It’s black on black! Beautiful ❤

Cadillac XT5: the official car for real estate agents
LOL!!! I couldn't help but laugh!! I just passed my real estate exam and want to upgrade to this!!!!!
Lol, thinking bout leasing one. But I’m not in real estate
Lol!!! I'm an agent and I'm certainly considering it. My 2009 Lincoln has had it! Lol

Thanks Richard! I really appreciate that!
Cadillac shall start making their sedans again just like the old days I hate the crossover trend

This will be my dream SUV! Nice job Joe.
Dream big brother!
Between this, the xt4, and the Escalade, cadillac is knocking it out of the park. I don't know what they were thinking with the xt6.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Based on 2021 Cadillac escalator with 4K display. I’ll wait for the redesign XT5 and I’ll put my money on it. Cadillac is the king of luxury 👑
Thanks for sharing your thoghts on this one.
For the money and size comparable I went with Buick Envision ac control and heated seats for the back seat passengers
I don't hate the car but OMG why is Cadillac in love with these turbo 4 cylinder engines. I keep my car over 10 years. These engines are not built to last that long so sorry I cant buy it.
I Would Buy A Lincoln Nautilus 2.7 AWD
Thr XT5 almost sells 2x as many Nautilus/MKX.
That is a great point.
@@normt430 This is true. I think Lincoln does a terrible job marketing them!
Yea but it makes it more special and seeing it less makes it feel premium

Cadillac still retains the sleek and stately long angular lines of the 80s, 90s Seville, Fleetwood & DeVille. With such beautiful designs, they still struggle against other luxury Euro, Japanese brands.
That is so very true!
Spiritual successor to the SRX.
So very true!
Needs an update with a new gauge cluster. And hopefully a softer rear armrest.
Thanks Joe for the video. I believe I would get the V6. I am still looking.
You are so very welcome!

They could probably take $5k grand off the price by getting rid of all those emblems.
The V6 has over 300 HP.
That's why u go for v6
Also the XT5 replaced the SRX for the 2017 model year, not 2015 as mentioned 😇
The issue is the palisade does this job better for way less money, and before you tell me "oh but its a completely different class of vehicle blah blah blah" no, both are made on architectures stemmed from minivans, both are FWD based and both are based around NA V6's (although this one has a base 2.0t).

And it is larger.
@@RaitisRides by 6 inches, and if size is a concern then you should be sticking to the XT4 (which is sadly nicer), as theres no real benefit of these larger 2 rows. Either stick to the smaller 2 rows or bump up to the 3 rows
It would be better if Cadillac displayed the liters of displacement, instead of the Newton- metres of torque.
I think they should just leave it as XT5. It just confuses people.
@@RaitisRides good point!
You can remove it easily
I have a feeling Florida has a higher rate of car sales than most, or all other states from that gorgeous weather and car dealerships.
You might be right Adam!

I don't really think that is an armrest at 14:40 of the video. I think it's hard and sturdy because it's really just a pulldown cupholder to secure drinks for the people in the backseat. I guess it could serve as an armrest but I don't think that is the intended purpose.

More reliable.
No 2.0T that can push near RX hybrid fuel economy on the highway!
Nice felt lining so you don't scratch your m&m's
I like. May be getting a 2021 next week. Getting prices from a couple of dealers now. The 4 cyl has plenty of power for me. But hey.....I'm a geezer.
Great review
For this price tag you got to have over 10 grand discount to make your money's worth. Even the Chevy Equinox 2.0T has more horse power (252 HP) than this one.
Drive both and get back with us.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one!
@@normt430 LOL! Great point!
Yes it’s sad how far GM and Cadillac have fallen, granted they’ve been low quality vehicles for around 40 years now, here in the states they are known as “bum cars”
When is the xt5 expected to get a redesign?
I have an XT5, to me, the Seats feel like Park Benches. I will admit they are better than my 2008 STS, but they are still almost as Hard as a Wooden Park Bench. I wish mine had the 18 inch wheels, the Ride would be a bit Cushier. Handling, it feels very top Heavy compared to the STS, and it is not very sure footed. My Friends BMW, which I dislike, does feel like it is Built a Lot more Sturdy, the XT5 feels and sounds Flimsy
I'm pro Gm , but the new twin turbo Ford explorer has that Cadillac , Chevy and GMC midsize SUV segment sewed up !!!!!
The back wipers are tucked in
Never really considering a Crossover SUV but since the rising prices of vehicles lately… I’m considering between XT5 or the Ford Edge. Thanks Raiti Rides‼️
Xt5 is better xt5 competes with the lincoln nautilus not edge
Cadillac is competeting with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Tesla ...
Ford Egde your mainly competing with Chevy, Dogde... but your also in price range with Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, etc etc.
@@issavibez394yup something under then Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW but more luxurious then Ford, Mazda, Honda = Lincoln(Ford), Lexus, Acura, Buick , GMC .
@buddyboy4438 I have driven some cadillacs that performed better than some benz and bmw I was shocked
Hi Joe how are you do you plan on bringing the 2021 Cadillac xt5 have a good weekend
Cadillac is trying, I'll give them that. NO ventilated seats !!!
You don’t need those in Michigan
@@floridaman7 Yep, I'm from Fl. but Mi. will have hot days coming also.

They need to just bring it all!
It's nice enough but nothing really wowed me about it. The interior doors are lovely though.
