Cadillac represents the gold standard for American luxury automobiles, with a tradition of excellence that spans decades. The 2025 Cadillac XT5 compact SUV demonstrates this commitment to innovation, luxury, and engineering, offering many bold standard features that distinguish it from other SUVs in its class.

Well-Appointed and Comfortable Interior
The Cadillac brand is about luxury, and nowhere is that commitment more apparent than in the interior of the XT5. Though considered a compact SUV, the XT5 seats five adults comfortably in its opulent power-adjustable heated front bucket seats and 60/40 split rear seat with slide and recline capabilities. Other interior features found in the XT5 include a tilt and telescoping steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Powerful Yet Efficient Powertrain
The XT5 offers two powertrain options that provide reliability and performance. The standard engine is a peppy 2.0-liter Turbo 4-cylinder that produces 235 horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque. The Sport AWD has an available 3.6-liter V6 that delivers 310 horsepower and 271 foot-pounds of torque. Both versions of the XT5 include a 9-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. Most XT5 models are FWD, but AWD is an option in the Sport trim.
Smooth, Stable Ride
The XT5 is engineered to create the most luxurious driving experience possible, and it incorporates several features that support a smooth, pleasant ride. It has four-wheel independent suspension, Electronic Power Steering Assist, Electronic Precision Shift, and Electronic Traction Control built in. It also incorporates a Driver Mode Selector that allows customized drive modes that help the XT5 adapt to driver preferences and changing driving conditions.
Sensible Safety Features
Not only is the XT5 built for luxury and performance, but it has also earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The XT5 embraces safety technology that prevents accidents and protects occupants during collisions. Those features include Forward Collision Alert, an HD Rear Vision Camera, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Front Pedestrian Braking.
Innovative Infotainment and Connectivity Technology
Infotainment and connection are often concerns for modern drivers, and the XT5 helps keep drivers and their passengers connected, no matter where they may roam. The XT5’s standard infotainment features include Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Bose premium 8-speaker audio system, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, dual diagonal color Driver Information Center, and the Cadillac User Experience system with an 8-inch color touchscreen.
