The new
2017 Cadillac XT5 has shown a
big indication to come out with the presence of the first spy photos. It
is hard to deny that Cadillac has a big plan to refresh all-lineup and
after working for the CT6 sedan, they will do all development for this
upcoming model. It will be a mid-size crossover to replace the SRX and
perhaps it will be revealed at LA Auto Show this year.
Design Spy Photos
Exterior
With the heavy camouflage in its spy shots, we could find out some hints
available. It is quite promising that 2017 Cadillac XT5 is more
inspiring than before especially for its body design. The predecessor,
SRX has good design and now it will go with more luxurious details. It
is more contemporary with the thinner and more upswept headlamps to
expect. The grille is more upright and the rear end tailgate is updated
with the iconic vertical tail-lights from Cadillac.
Interior
Several changes are also added in its cabin. It is possible if this
crossover will get some revisions with the all-new materials. Its design
is simple but it defines luxurious and spacious feel. There will be
natural wood accents instead of Raven Sapele wood trim. For the base
model, it has leatherette upholstery while the top trim has full-leather
leather seats. The standard feature is eight-inch display and there are
some complements including Bluetooth, power outlets, USB ports and
navigation will be optional. There is Bose with 8-speaker system or you
can choose 10-speaker as the optional. The top trim also has the heated
and ventilated front seats, rear seat DVD entertainment with eight-inch
screen and Blu-Ray for 2017 Cadillac XT5.
2017 Cadillac XT5 Engine
The standard engine for this mid-size crossover would be the V6 engine
and 3.6 liter and therefore the car could be much more different than
the previous model. The refreshed engine design and the slightly updated
V6 engine would be enough in order to offer the amount of output for up
to 308 horsepower and also 265 lb-ft of torque. In addition, buyers
could choose another engine in 2017 Cadillac XT5. It could be the
smaller V6 turbocharged engine and 2.7 liter. Both of those engines are
offered either with front and all-wheel drive. The output will be
transmitted via six-speed automatic.
2017 Cadillac XT5 Price and MPG
2017 Cadillac XT5 is supposed to come out with the same fuel economy as
the predecessor which could be 17/24 or 16/23 mpg. The price is about
$38,000 and the top trim is $50,000 at least. Its strong rivals are Audi
Q5 and BMW X3.
