2023 CADILLAC XT5 MODEL REVIEW - Kansas City, MO

What's New for the 2023 Cadillac XT5?

Three new paint colors are offered: Opulent Blue Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Argent Silver Metallic.

What Are the 2023 XT5 Trims & Features?

The new XT5 is offered in three well-equipped trim levels. The more affordable Sport trim is expected to remain a popular pick. Even it offers an upscale driving experience. Its modern CUE infotainment system features an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Meanwhile, heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control help ensure great comfort on the road. Other highlights include an eight-speaker Bose sound system, an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, and remote start.

More niceties are found on the Premium Luxury trim. While a hands-free power liftgate makes loading cargo an easier task, an Advanced Security Package helps keep thieves at bay. A 14-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system, an UltraView power sunroof, and leather seating surfaces also come equipped on the XT5 Premium Luxury. On the list of options is an elegant Platinum package, which adds semi-aniline leather upholstery and a microfiber headliner.

Atop the lineup sits the Sport trim, which receives exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels with red Brembo brake calipers. Not only does the Sport trim have a bolder look, but it also delivers a more aggressive performance. A sports-tuned suspension and AWD system take the SUV's handling capabilities to the next stage.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2023 XT5 Have?

Most drivers will find the XT5's standard turbo four-cylinder engine to be more than sufficient. It generates a pleasing 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. However, a potent V6 is available for folks who need more muscle. Output increases to 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission.

What Safety Features Does the 2023 XT5 Include?

A plethora of standard driver-assistance features come standard on the new XT5. While Front Pedestrian Braking constantly scans for people walking across the street, GM's exclusive Safety Alert Seat vibrates to warn you of potential road hazards. Available Lane Change Alert further elevates your degree of awareness.
