Cadillac XT5 Platinum; sexy, inviting and not too shabby on the road.

Text and Photos by Michael Hozjan

Open the door to the XT5 and you immediately want to jump in the driver’s seat – it’s that inviting. The combination of brushed suede, leather and wood accents is attractive, to say thee least.

Introduced in 2017 as the replacement for the slab sided SRX the XT5’s design is refreshing and clearly Cadillac with its signature V-shaped grille and hockey stick lamps. Furthermore it gives this crossover a Cadillac Family look with their sedan line rather than a gussied up Tahoe.

The 2019 Cadillac XT5 comes in four trim levels: the base XT5 aptly named Standard is the sole front wheel drive model. Next up the corporate ladder are the all-wheel-drive models starting with the Luxury, followed by the Premium Luxury, and lastly the Platinum. I suspect most buyers will be satisfied with the feature loaded Standard model starting at a meager $44,795, one of the lowest base prices in the class. Even the all-wheel-drive rendition starts off nicely priced at $54,295. From there, the options and prices add up real quick with the Premium Luxury starting at $61,795 or my top-of-the-line Platinum edition’s starting price of $72,195.

For 2019 you’ve got the choice of some new colors; Shadow Metallic, Red Horizon Tintcoat, Manhattan Noir Metallic, and Dark Mocha Metallic. As well, there’s a new Kona Brown leather interior with Sapele wood trim.

No matter which drive train or trim level you choose, the only available engine is a 3.6L V6 that punches out 310 horses and 271 lb-ft of torque. Incidentally that’s the same combo that powers the ATS, CTS and CT6 sedans. While other luxury midsize crossovers and SUVs do offer stronger engine options, particularly the performance-oriented marques, the Caddy’s power output should prove more than adequate and holds its own against the most. The V6 is quiet and well isolated from the cockpit, however, mash the go pedal and the engine gets loud.

The AWD trims have three driver-selectable settings, fuel-saving front-wheel-drive only, Sport mode which sends power to the limited slip rear axle, and the AWD setting that continuously maintains all-wheel power for slippery conditions. The system can distribute 100 percent of torque to either axle as conditions warrant, and the differential can split the rear axle’s share left to right enough to put all the power to one wheel, masterfully distributing torque to manage traction and optimize handling.

Like the XT4 reviewed here last week, the V6 also features cylinder deactivation, enabling it to run on four cylinders under a light load. The V6 also includes automatic start/stop. The V6 comes mated to a smooth shifting eight-speed with the only downside being an awkward up-and-over shift into Reverse.

On the road a stiff chassis and quick steering response provide a composed curve-hugging ride with a minimum amount of body sway. The optional adaptive suspension is standard equipment on the Premium Luxury and Platinum trims and although it’s not a sports oriented crossover like the Macan, it does help the XT5 challenge the twisties with confidence.

Hit Quebec’s third world pavement, however, and you’ll feel jitters reverberating through the cabin –not the Caddy of old. I’d like to get my hands on one of the base wagons equipped with 18” wheels to see if this trait would be improved over my tester’s 20” units. The fad of going with thin profile tires as a performance excuse vs. smoother rides is something I’ll discuss another day. For now let’s leave it as food for thought in your purchasing decision.

Like I mentioned earlier the XT5’s cabin is inviting, combing elegance and modern design into a sleek airy package with good outward visibility. My Platinum came with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear-outboard seats, and a heated steering wheel.

The centre dash panel is clad in suede, visually appealing but a poor choice in a high-traffic area. It feels great, but I wonder how well it will wear as my tester had two rings on the each of the door panels. (see above)

Rear seat passengers will appreciate the sliding and reclining second row. The XT5's wireless smartphone charging pad gets an upgrade for 2019 and offering 15 watts of juice (over last year's 5 watts) to speed charging times and no, my Android didn’t get charged and I had to revert to one of the four USB ports. As mentioned in the XT4 review, Cadillac’s CUE infotainment system has been greatly improved. The 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an onboard 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is standard. Base trims get a Bose audio with eight speakers and audiophiles can upgrade to a 14-speaker system on Luxury and Premium Luxury versions while Platinum model offers the upgraded sound system as standard equipment.

All 2019 XT5 models come with a rearview camera and rear parking sensors. Standard fare on the Platinum but available on lesser equipped trims include rain-sensing windshield wipers, rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision alert, a safety alert seat, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, lane change assist, blind spot monitoring, pedestrian braking, forward and reverse automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, a rear-camera mirror (see XT4 piece), active park assist, a head-up display, and a surround-vision camera.

As good as some of these items are, I’d gladly trade them all in for Cadillac’s Night Vision system that was discontinued in 2004 for whatever reason. While most of theses systems are little more than driving aids for the inattentive, Night Vision actually helps you see beyond the high beam’s illumination. Common guys bring it back.

Oh and while I’m nit picking, why is there no knob for the audio system’s volume? There’s a command on the steering wheel, yes, but otherwise you need to use the touchscreen, which is about as quick as molasses on a warm day. Why have knobs gotten so taboo?

Oh and pray tell why is it that when I have a comfortable volume level on sat radio, switching to AM that it nearly breaks my eardrums and when the nav system gives me directions I can barely hear it? If we can put a man on the moon…

On a positive note, top marks for giving us real buttons to control seat temps, and the heated steering wheel, instead of burying them in computer menus like some manufacturers do.

There's 30 cubic feet of cargo space behind the XT5's second-row seats, and 63 cubic feet with the rear seats folded completely flat. That's about average for the class. You can slightly increase the total cargo space by sliding the rear seats forward. A metal divider in the back slides and locks in place to keep cargo from sliding around (nice), and there’s a storage bin hidden under the floor.

The XT5 isn’t perfect but it drives well, has a roomy airy cabin that coddles. It’s not the cheapest crossover on the market and it certainly isn’t the priciest. It’s not a performance SUV but a sporty luxury crossover. If you’re shopping luxury crossovers, don’t dismiss it on your list.

Price as tested: $74,445*

*Includes A/C excise tax, destination charges and optional block heater.

Cadillac Unveils CT5 and CT4 'V-Sport' Models - Tries to Call Them V-Series

On May 30, Cadillac finally unveiled the V version of the, not yet on sale, CT5. They also took this opportunity to debut the next sedan in the line-up, the CT5’s baby brother, the CT4.

Now, Cadillac will say that these are V-Series. Don’t buy that hype.

These V’s are straight down the middle the ‘V-Sport’ versions of both cars. The CT4, essentially an ATS replacement, is packing over 140hp less than the ATS-V it replaces. The CT5 is packing is down 285hp from the CTS-V it replaces. Both are packing turbo engines, (a 2.7L inline-4 and 3.0L V-6 respectively). They are also automatic (10-speed) only and available in both rear and all-wheel drive.

Additionally, Cadillac rebranded the CT6 V-Sport as the CT6 V-Series - showing in no uncertain terms that Cadillac is changing what V-Series means in their line-up…a step up from the Sport trim while not packing the track-ready credentials that have been the hallmark of the V-Series since the very first model (the 2004 CTS-V).

Now, as V-Sports, these are solid entries. But we can’t wait to see the CT4-V that brings the missing power to bear and comes with a manual (a true ATS-V replacement). The CT5 should also get a true V-Series trim in the future, probably packing the Blackwing V-8 and well over 500hp - though we’d prefer to see something well over 600 since that is what we enjoyed in the last CTS-V. Chances are that both of the ‘real’ V-Series trims will be rear-drive only…unless Cadillac decides the all-wheel drive BMW M5 is worth matching feature for feature.

But, the communication from Cadillac could have been significantly clearer than what they chose to put forward this time.

Read on for the press release:

Driven by Cadillac’s latest turbocharging technology and building on more than 15 years of performance credentials, the first-ever 2020 CT4-V and CT5-V were unveiled today, expanding choices for the brand’s V-Series performance sub-brand.

Following the 2019 CT6-V, they grow the V-Series family with even more levels of performance, while preserving the lineage established by the original V-Series lineup introduced in 2004.

“The new V-Series sedan lineup defines modern sophistication by combining luxury appointments with thoughtful technology and athletic refinement for the discerning enthusiast,” said Brandon Vivian, Cadillac executive chief engineer. “We are inviting even more customers into the V-Series family by adding a new level of elevated performance between our Sport models and the ultimate, high-performance track capability that the V-Series has grown to represent.”

The first-ever CT4 and recently introduced CT5 represent Cadillac’s realigned sedan portfolio, characterized by new proportions, innovative technologies and more appearance and performance choices. Each is built on Cadillac’s award-winning rear-wheel-drive Alpha architecture, with the V-Series models developed to deliver the ultimate blend of performance, presence and road-going refinement.

Both share the latest standard V-Series performance technologies, including Magnetic Ride Control 4.0, which is tuned specifically for V models to enhance comfort without sacrificing performance-oriented responsiveness, and drive modes that include new V-Mode personalization. Each model is available in RWD or AWD and features a 10-speed automatic transmission, Brembo front brakes with eBoost electronic assist and a limited-slip rear differential on CT4-V and electronic limited-slip differential on CT5-V.

Cadillac’s exclusive Super Cruise1, the first true hands-free driver assistance feature for the freeway, is available on more than 130,000 miles of limited-access freeways in the U.S. and Canada. It will be available on both new V-Series models.

“The new lineup expands the V-Series ethos, drawing more customers into the Cadillac Performance family, and the newest Vs are focused on elevated athleticism and luxurious refinement for customers wanting a dynamic daily drive,” said Mark Reuss, GM president. “And this is only the beginning of the V family. Cadillac’s passion for performance shines on a racetrack. Stay tuned.”

Vehicle highlights CT5-V — The first-ever CT5-V builds on the precision-focused details of the all-new luxury sedan introduced earlier this year to offer elevated road performance and an engaging driving experience.

Powered by Cadillac’s high-output 3.0L Twin Turbo V-6 engine, which uses low-inertia turbochargers to enhance power production across the rpm band. It is rated at a Cadillac-estimated 355 horsepower (265 kW), pending SAE certification.

First Drive: 2019 Cadillac XT4

SEATTLE, Washington — We’ve been herded into a ballroom at the Four Seasons hotel in Seattle, where we’re listening to Cadillac reps explain the why behind their new ‘Y’ trim-level strategy, augmented by a fancy PowerPoint presentation. Listed on the left arm of the slide’s Y graphic are the Premium Luxury and Platinum trims, with Sport and V-Series on the right. At the base of the Y is the Luxury level. Y should you care? Because the 2019 Cadillac XT4, the marque’s all-new compact crossover we’ve come here to drive, represents the first implementation of Cadillac’s Y approach, that’s Y.

Cadillac says it’s aiming the XT4 at the entry-luxury, compact crossover set (think Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Volvo XC40, etc.), though it feels at least a half-size bigger than any of those vehicles. The Cadillac team says it focused on providing more usable interior volume than the competitive set, and indeed, the XT4’s 39.5 inches of rear seat legroom beats all the players mentioned here, and its 22.5 cu-ft of cargo space with rear seats up, 48.9 with them down is better than most.

As for how it stacks up in the exterior looks department compared to the competition, we’d say pretty well, especially from the direct front or rear view. The 2019 XT4 sports a version of Cadillac’s new, thinner grille that first debuted on the CT6 sedan, with sleek and slim vertical headlights and similar taillights that echo one of the old CTS Wagon’s best styling traits. Let’s just say the profile isn’t its good side, with a generic appearance not unlike that of its General Motors stablemates. Standard wheels are 18 inches all trim levels, though each varies slightly in color.

That brings us back to the Y strategy. The base Luxury model checks in at $35,790 to start and features aluminum-color interior accents, leatherette seats, and satin aluminum exterior trim. For $40,290, buyers can veer either to the left or right side of the Y with the Sport or Premium Luxury trims. Choose the Sport path, and you get carbon-fiber interior and gloss black exterior trim, body color door handles, leatherette seats with sport accents, carbon-fiber or wood interior trim, a thicker steering wheel and unique pedals, and gloss black roof rails among other features. Premium Luxury takers get leather seats, wood or aluminum interior trim, satin aluminum exterior trim and roof rails, and nickel-finish door handles. Both upscale trims also receive front and rear park assist, lane change and side blind zone alerts, and rear cross traffic systems. A power liftgate, driver’s seat memory, and an auto-dimming interior rear-view mirror are also part of the Premium Luxury package.

After reading all that you may be asking yourself, “Self, where are the V-Series and Platinum models at?” Not every Cadillac will get those treatments, but we suspect the XT4 will be at least going Platinum soon enough. All XT4s regardless of trim get Cadillac’s new 8.0-inch infotainment screen with the marque’s redesigned Cue system that does away with the frustrating haptic feedback switchgear in favor of a center-console mounted rotary knob controller. Located behind the gearshift lever, it’s further augmented by a volume knob and various quick key buttons. We had limited time to explore the setup in depth, but our cursory experience is that it’s an improvement over the outgoing Cue, mostly in terms of usability. We’re told this new rotary-knob system will find its way to other Cadillac models and is already being implemented on the CT6 sedan.

Under the hood of the XT4 is an all-new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. While that’s down significantly from the old 2.0T’s 272 hp and 295 lb-ft, Cadillac says the engine is far more efficient thanks to a twin-scroll turbocharger, cylinder deactivation, and the engine’s trick “Tripower” valvetrain system, which utilizes a shifting groove that effectively “slides” the cam lobe profile to one of three settings depending on driving condition. At the low end of the profile spectrum is the Active Fuel Management groove, which disables two cylinders and is designed for very light, freeway cruising; low valve lift is set up for balanced power and efficiency; and high valve lift engages when you need to put the hammer down in passing or hill climbing situations, for example. Additionally, the new engine’s peak torque comes on between 1,500-4,000 rpm compared to the outgoing engine’s 3,000-4,600 rpm, meaning in routine cruising conditions you’ll typically see the tach needle stay under 2,000 rpm, further optimizing fuel economy.

The XT4’s transmission is all-new too, a 9-speed automatic with a broader ratio than the outgoing 6-speed unit (7.6:1 vs 6.0:1) and a 4.69 first gear along with a 0.62 top gear to get that sub-2,000 rpm cruise speed. A twin-clutch all-wheel-drive setup is available on all XT4 models for an extra $2,500 and features a front disconnect to run in FWD at the push of the drive mode button. Other drive modes are AWD and Sport, both of which activate the all-wheel-drive system, while the latter also boosts steering effort and throttle response, allowing for higher shift points. Suspension is strut-type up front, and five-link a la XT5 in the rear. Sport models are available with an optional Active Sport Suspension.

We had a chance to wring out both Sport and Premium Luxury versions of the XT4 over a smorgasbord of Washington state highways and rural backroads, and we came away impressed. Both XT4 trims exhibited a sporty feel for a crossover thanks to a combination of precise steering and throttle inputs and good body control. Slowing things down are strong electro-hydraulic assist brakes that we’re told were benchmarked for feel against the ATS. This means the pedal is firm and not over-boosted like several other crossovers we’ve driven. It took a little getting used to initially, but ultimately rewarded us with excellent modulation.

The XT4’s 2.0T engine felt lively and eager to rev through the midrange, though it starts running out of breath above 5,000 rpm. That said, in normal driving, plenty of low-down torque and the 9-speed transmission conspire to keep revs low while not feeling like the XT4 is bogging in the slightest. This is possibly the best 9-speed we’ve experienced to date, with little gear hunting and silky smooth shifts that are almost imperceptible at times. That said, the XT4 is no rocket—258 lb-ft of torque only goes so far when there’s nearly 4,000 lbs of crossover to push around. Given that the XT4’s target demographic is young urban dwellers, this shouldn’t matter in the least though when tooling around the nation’s cityscapes.

Both XT4s we drove were equipped with the optional all-wheel drive system. Switching between FWD and AWD is seamless, but it takes a few seconds to complete. In FWD mode on dry pavement, a firm boot of throttle from a stop led to a bit of wheel spin and light torque steer, while the XT4 moved out confidently under heavy acceleration in AWD mode. We wonder how many buyers will actually toggle between the FWD and AWD settings, but they should keep it primarily in FWD if they want to optimize fuel economy and lessen drivetrain wear.

We’re looking forward to getting more seat time in the XT4 and seeing how it compares with its rivals. But for now, we can safely say we enjoyed our first encounter with what’s bound to become a volume seller for Cadillac. And there’s more where the XT4 came from. Cadillac is promising a new model launch every six months through 2020, and if the XT4 is any indication, we’re betting the American luxury brand is in for more successes to come—especially now that we know more of the what behind the Y.
