Cadillac's mid-size crossover SUV brings the pliable traits of a sporty car in a package that resembles either a high-hiked station wagon or a dropped-down SUV. Dubbed SRX, the first initial in the name stands for the series, the R in the middle signifies a re-configurable nature of the wagon and the X at the end denotes the car-based platform of a crossover vehicle.

SRX rides on the RWD Sigma architecture of CTS and STS sedans and is available with RWD or AWD mode. It feels nimble and lively with a fun-to-drive attitude. Engine options include the 4.6-liter, NorthStar, V8 VVT, or 3.6-liter V6 VVT. A 5-speed automatic transmission with DSC goes with each engine.

Layout of the cabin has twin buckets in the front row and a bench for three on row two. An optional bench for two as a third row raises the rider count to seven. Select the UltraView sunroof, which spreads above first and second rows of seats, for the largest sunroof in this class.
